| Description of the problem | In january of 2012 we started to notice a noise coming from the wheels of our vehicle. We at first thought it might be a chunk of snow caught in the wheel well but when we arrived home there was nothing there. Over the next couple of days the noise got significantly louder to be point you could not even hear the radio when it was turned on. I took it to a local shop where i was told both my front wheel bearings were bad and would need to be replace the rear wheel bearings would need to be replace soon also as they were going back as well. The technician was going to check with vw on an extended warranty of the assembly as they are the same ones that were given an extended warranty by the chrysler group because of poor makeup. Vw stated that they are aware of the issue but is not honoring the same extended warranty. The letter on fill from chrysler is csc-10037659-4297. This is a youtube video that i found with the same issue as my vehicle; http://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=hqrsfmlkmre *tt |
