Front Suspension Hub problem of Dodge Durango
I purchased a 2000 Dodge Durango in June 2003. I have had continuing problems with front suspension, ball joints,right hub assembly. Right side hub assembly has been replaced 5 times in the last 6 years and I was just told yesterday that it will need to be replaced again. I was also informed by my mechanic of 18 years, the whole front suspension is bad and the differential will also have to be replaced. I have owned this truck 11 years and have kept it well maintained,in all this time, I have had only one official recall for upper arm ball joints in 2005. I have called Chrysler twice to question why I have had to replace the hub assembly so frequently(every year for the last 5 of 6 years) and they insist there is nothing wrong or a specific recall for my VIN. I have had enough with replacing the same part over and over every year. Something needs to be done about this hub assembly & front suspension. I have noticed the same complaints online as mine. . . . Front end vibration when reaching speeds of 55-60 mph, ball joint issues, hub assembly issues, and front suspension issues. There are currently 2 recalls for 2000 Dodge Durango front suspension and hub assembly units, and conveniently for Chrysler, neither are my VIN number Durango. Surprise, surprise!! I will continue to file complaints with Chrysler until some one decides to take action and get these issues repaired once and for all. I am getting a little tired of constantly putting out hundreds of dollars for the same issue year after year!! please help get this issue resolved!. This front suspension hub problem happened on Wednesday, July 13, 2005.

Front Suspension Hub problem of Ford F-150
The car involved is a 2007 Ford F-150. Had a bad miss at highway speeds and limped home 15 miles. Replaced spark plugs and in the process broke two in the head. One did not break completely off (#4) and I needed to borrow a prototype tool from lisle tool corp. Removed and replaced plugs following Ford procedures. Truck still had a miss. Replaced all eight coil packs which fixed the problem. Total cost$380. 00. Truck down for 6 days awaiting tools and parts. Developed a vibration at highway speeds. Original tires(pirelli) were separating. Replaced tires(976. 00), much better. Still have slight vibration at highway speeeds. Found left front hub bearing seeping grease and feels stiff. Awaiting parts to do repairs. (98. 00) had a transmission shudder at light load in overdrive. Flushed transmission with bg products and flush machine. Added new trans fluid and conditioner. Transmission now shudders at all speeds when hot. Will order new filter and replace. Will add friction modifier and try again. Have to tow another vehicle this weekend and am afraid to do so. I am completely blown away that these problems could happen to any vehicle starting at 48,000 miles. All maintenance has been performed with top of the line products. Have been a Ford owner all my life and am completely dis-satisfied with the performance of this supposed number one selling truck. The sticker prices of these trucks should be a bunch less since cheaply produced chinese parts are so prevalently used. Not happy. This front suspension hub issue occurred Wed., Feb. 20, 2013.

Front Suspension Hub problem of Mercedes Benz ML320
The car is a 1998 Mercedes Benz Ml320. I purchased a mercedes sport-utility vehicle in 1998 (ml320). The driver-side, side-view mirror is a "major-league" driving hazard. The mirror does not adjust sufficiently, leaving a huge blind spot. Every car I have ever owned allowed the mirrors to be adjusted so that a car passing on the drivers side could be tracked from the rear-view mirror, to the side mirror, to the drivers peripheral vision. With the Ml320 a passing car gets lost in the transition between the side-view mirror and the driver's peripheral vision. The mirror cannot be adjusted far enough outward to cover this blind spot. This problem is excascerbated by the position of the wide roof-support column. The failure date was April 1, 1998.

The passengers side front suspension was also inspected and the same bolt was found to be approximately 2/3 loosened. Both front struts had to be replaced. Fortunately when this happened to my daughter she was only doing approximately 25 mph as she had just made a turn. The failure date was Fri., Jul. 14, 2006.

The car was a 1999 Mercury Sable. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is 1MEFM53U5X_. Car was two years old when purchased, and had 60k miles. I noted that car would shake, especially during braking. I also noted that vehicle pulled to one side during braking. I took car to shop and found that the brake discs had to be turned due to warpage. (I was told that this was common on these vehicles, including tuarus') this eleviated most of the problems, but was told that the tie rods, and tie rod ends were wore out and had to be replaced. I personally looked at the original tie rods after they were replaced and noted that they were wore out. This problem could have possibly resulted in premature braking and lose of control of the vehicle. There was a notable difference in the braking distance and ability to control vehicle at higher speeds. I still have the original tie rods, and ends. The failure date was Jul. 1, 2003.

Front Suspension Hub problem of Nissan Altima
The vehicle involved was a 2003 Nissan Altima. While driving home from work a couple of days ago, my car's tire pressure monitoring system (tpms)assembly on one tire fell apart/rusted out, causing my tire to deflate rapidly. I pulled off the road to a safe, flat area, and attempted to remove the damaged tire so I could attach the spare and be one my way. Unfortunately, I was unable to remove the steel wheel from the hub, and ended up calling my auto club for help. The roadside assistance person sent to help me also attempted to remove the wheel and also failed. I called my auto club again, and this time they sent out a tow truck. The tow truck driver used a piece of metal from his towing equipment to beat on the tire rim until it broke loose. He attached the spare tire, and was on his way. My inability to remove the wheel from the hub has come up twice before with different hubs on this vehicle. The last time this happened, I called my local Mazda dealer for advice, and a guy at the service desk told me to beat on the tire rim with a sledgehammer, saying "that's what we have to do sometimes to remove a wheel. " doesn't this action jeopardize the integrity of the rim? and what happens if I accidently hit another part of the car while doing so? shouldn't Mazda have a better remedy for this issue? I also had the tire pressure monitoring system assembly rust out on a different tire for this car. The owner's manual scheduled maintenance section says nothing about tpms inspection or servicing. Deterioration and ultimate failure of this part is extremely hazardous and has the potential to cause human fatality. I want to know if my experience is just an isolated incident or if others have had similar experiences. If it's widespread, then Mazda needs to know about this and do something about it before something serious actually happens. This front suspension hub problem happened on 04/17/2013.

Front Suspension Hub problem of Subaru Outback
The vehicle was a 2013 Subaru Outback. The VIN of the car is 4S4BRDSC0D_. When I make a hard right turn, such as pulling out into the near lane or parking, my front passenger tire comes in contact with my fender well - specifically the body molding and violently. When measuring my hub (center) to hub (center), the passenger side of the car is a full . 5 inch closer than the driver side. You can also measure the distance between the front tire to fender well and see that the passenger side is closer to the back of the fender well than the driver side. I notified west houston Subaru in late Dec. 2012 of the problem so they checked the alignment & measured the aforementioned hub/tire/fender distances. They acknowledged a discrepancy between the driver and passenger side; said they would contact Subaru of America (soa) and follow up. . . Unfortunately I had to contact them back. . . Then it was suggested I contact soa myself so I did on January 8, 2013. The failure date was Wednesday, December 12, 2012.. Read more...

Front Suspension Hub problem of Subaru Forester
The VIN of this Forester is JF1SG65696_. I purchased my 2006 Subaru Forester brand new from the Subaru dealer in catonsville, MD; russell Subaru. There were no miles on the vehicle when I bought it. Both rear bearings wore out on my car at almost the same exact time. Every mechanic with which I have spoken says this is common on these vehicles. My bearings wore out at about 70k miles. The Subaru dealer charged me approximately $800 to replace one of them. The other cost about $600 at an independent mechanic. The mechanics won't replace the bearings because they can't warranty the work so you end up replacing the hub assembly. That is why it cost so much. When it wears out it first starts to squeal and make a noise that gets progressively louder as you accelarate to moderate speed. My car now has 140k miles and my wheel bearings have begun making noise again. At a cost of ($600 - $800) x 2, this clearly seems like a poor design defect. I have owned many cars over the years and have never had to spend so much money for the same part in such a short time. The part wore out almost precisely after the extended warranty expired. Every person I know with a Subaru Forester has the same complaint. There are numerous forums on the web from owners with the same complaint. Subaru should pay the cost for replacement parts and labor to correct this problem, which is not typical of what a buyer would expect with routine maintenance for a nearly $30k vehicle. Aside from the premature wear of the rear wheel/hub assembly, I have basically been pleased with the perfomance of my Subaru. It was Nov. 4, 2011 when this front suspension hub issue happened.

The only repair done was r&r right wheel bearing in front and replaced hub. When on 1-10-2007 they called to pick up car all repairs done, I went and they told me that the car is sounding worse and it could possibly be a coupling by the tire and that I need a front wheel alignment and that's why I am having all these problems and that there is nothing wrong or found with the rmp needle going close to 5. I drove the car out and talked to another mechanic plus the owner of speedee's and they all laughed, and said that's not right and I would not go back. In driving the car now it really sounds bad and embarrassing, and sometimes it will not go past the speed I'm on while driving unless I release the brakes and press the gas again. The mechanic states not safety issue. It was 01/10/07 when this front suspension hub issue happened.

Front Suspension Hub problem of Toyota Corolla
The vehicle having this issue was a 2007 Toyota Corolla. Vehicle identification number (VIN): 1NXBR30E97_. Had the front brake pads and rotors replaced on car March 1, 2013. A month and a half later I heard grinding noise from left wheel. Took car in on 4/11/13 and was told brake pads and rotors were fine, but that the hub and bearing were failing on the left. Was also told this was rare that that they don't usually see a hub and bearing failing at this mileage. This is a serious problem and if you do not do anything about it your wheel could fall off. I was advised by someone with experience with this problem to go ahead and fix it which I did on 4/16/13. Was also advised by this same person that the failure was probably the result of a factory defect, but at this point there is no way to prove it and the car is out of warranty. The warranty for this repair is only a year and the failure rate after fixing this type of issue is high. I no longer trust my car!!!!!. This front suspension hub issue occurred Thursday, April 11, 2013.

Front Suspension Hub problem of Toyota Avalon
2004 Toyota Avalon. Consumer requests reimbursement for power steering and wheel hub repairs. The consumer stated she experienced steering failure, two years prior to the recall. The consumer went to a local mechanic, because the Toyota dealership was too far to drive to for the repair. Upon submitting all the required proof, Toyota refused reimbursement stating the repair she paid for was not the reason for the recall.

Front Suspension Hub problem of Volkswagen Jetta
The vehicle had a crash. A 1997 Volkswagen Jetta gt, equipped with frontal airbags was in a collision due to the use of aftermarket parts, which included after market ball joints not supplied from the dealer, this part failed after 12. 7km on the highway traveling at 110km/h 65mph, the car steering was very shaky when entering a slight turn on the highway, the front right ball joint had fractured in the hub knuckle and had caused the wheel to collapse, the steering was no longer working because the tires where not on the ground, the car was resting on the rad support and front axle of the car, braking also failed due to the majority of the braking force being on the front wheels that were not making contact with the ground. The car then struck a guard rail 3 times before coming to a complete rest, airbags did not deploy as there was no need due to the angle in which the car struck the rail. Safety belts worked and cars mechanical operation (besides front suspension, and body damage) was still fine. Wheel bearings, brake pads and rotors were all replaced a week previous to crash. Beware non-Volkswagen parts. It was 11/07/13 when this front suspension hub issue happened.

Front Suspension Hub problem of Volkswagen Cabrio
The car is a 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio convertible. Crash was involved with the Volkswagen Cabrio convertible. The VIN of the car is 3VWDB61E7X_. Hello, I contacted you about 2 yrs ago without f/u due to recovery from injuries. Now I have my case on the dockett to sue vw for faulty disc/hub assemby that separated due to corrosion. I have the parts and photos to submit. I injured my right ankle on July 9, 2009 when the wheel detached from my car without warning and after it had been recently inspected and cleaned by brake king. Similar to the Jeep grand cherokee recall since I owned one and had the hub/disc assembly replaced by stainless steel assembly. I wish to continue this investigation so that others are not injured heaven forbid. Now I am rady to handle the case in court and am preparing for the trial. Please advise as to how to defend my case as the ones that were tried on the Jeep recall and accidents. Also, if you need more info pls contact me. After the final physical therapy and perm partial disability I incurred in the accident I feel that this case needs to be investigated and prosecuted. I am an engineer and am sure the corrosion caused the wheel detachment which was definately a product defect. Especially since I have the records of inspection and service of the brake involved which caused detachement of my wheel only 5 months later and in light of the Jeep recalls. Have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. Thanx. Updated 01/20/lj. This issue happened on Jul. 9, 2009.
