Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problems of the 2003 Buick Rendezvous

All 4 of my wheel bearings went bad before 60,000 miles, I received a letter from Buick stating they are offering an extended warranty for the front wheel bearings up to 60,000 miles. This problem was not diagnosed until I had 63,000 miles, though 4 months ago when I asked my mechanic about the load noise coming from my vehicle I was told it was from my new tires and I just needed to wear the tread and the noise would stop. It got worse and I brought the vehicle to 3 mechanics. The first 2 both said it is almost impossible for even 1 wheel bearing to go bad with this little of miles and they could not explain how all my wheel bearings could be shot. They stated when I asked about the noise 4 months ago it is most likely this would not have been diagnosed because no one would have even considered wheel bearings problems in a vehicle this new. One of the mechanics shook my tire in front of me a half an inch, stating "this is a huge safety issue". The letter I received from Buick claimed this was not recalled because it did not pose a safety concern. I did have the front 2 recently replaced and the dealer/Buick paid for half the cost, but refused to pay for the rear wheel bearings because that was not an issue on the letter I received. I researched online and found this was reported on a news station and over 272,000 people are affected by this.

Received a letter from Buick that my 2003 Rendezvous has had problems with premature wear of the wheel bearings. I took my car in to be checked by the place I purchased it (quality auto of warsaw in) a week before receiving the letter because I heard a loud humm. Was told to bring it in on 9-8-06 for wheel bearing replacements by service manger matt dilley, but on 9-5-06 my front passenger tire sheared the studs off and the tire flew over the car at 50 mph, and crashed into a farmers field. Now Buick states it is not their fault and will not pay me or my insurance for repairs.

Loud roaring, squealing noise from front of vehicle. Wheel bearings are going out on both front wheels. I own a 2003 Buick Rendezvous with under 49,000 miles. I called Buick and they said this is the 1st time & no one else has had this problem. I checked w/edmunds website and there are about 1,000 people who have had this problem. Please help as gm will not support their defective products. This could be very dangerous as wheels could be come loose and or come off the car.

Wheel bearings defective on two occasions, caused extreme vibration and noise. Dealer was notified and they supposedly fixed under warranty. Had to return a second time to the same dealer to be fixed again with the second incidence being worse than the first, thus making the car difficult to drive, especially at high speeds.

The contact owns a 2003 Buick Rendezvous. The contact was driving approximately 50 mph and applied the brakes however, the vehicle emitted an abnormal grinding noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician advised the contact that the front driver's side wheel bearings would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not further repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.
