Description of the problem | At approximately 42000 miles i noticed a vibration in the front drivers side wheel. I had all four wheels replaced and the vibration continued so i took the vehicle to estabrook toyota in pascagoula, ms (because that is where i was at the time). When i went to pick the vehicle up i was told the repair manager had personally checked the car out and determined it was the right front bearing so it was replaced and supposedly test driven. I left the store and immediately felt the vibration once again on the left front so i brought the car right back and they replaced the left front bearing as i had initially identified as the problem area and the problem went away. Now, two years later the left front wheel bearing has gone out once again and i am afraid to drive the vehicle. |
