1 Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problem

Failure Date: 09/05/2011

This vehicle is a joke. I've had the ball joints worked on, gear shift (suddenly wouldn't change gears anymore), the transmission pump needs replacing, and when I drive, specifically if I turn or have to go over a speed hump, or over a small dip, there's a loud pop and lots of creaking even though the tire rod, ball joints and wheel bearings were replaced. After they were replaced, everything was quiet. About a year later, I'm hearing noises again. I've just grown accustomed to the fact that my car is loud. I know not to buy another Buick.

2 Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2009

I currently own a 2006 Buick Rendezvous with 63,000 miles on it. The right front wheel bearing recently failed at 62,100 miles. I have owned a 2002 Buick Rendezvous and a 2004 Buick Rendezvous, on both of these vehicles, both front wheel bearings failed while in warranty and under 50,000 miles and were repaired by Buick. But now they are refusing to repair my 2006. I feel that Buick knows they have a problem with wheel bearing failure but are not taking care of all the failures. I paid to replace the bearing at a cost of $358 and would like to be reimbursed by Buick for this expense. They have refused to do so.
