(1) 2000 chevy Blazer 4wd with 27665 miles; properly maintained with IL and lube every 3,000 miles, no off road or abusive driving and I am original owner and bought new. (2) last month began to hear growling noise from front end which grew louder with increasing speed. Noise would increase even louder if steering wheel moved to right. (3) took car to dealer for diagnosis and repair. Service department told me both front wheel bearing were "shot" and needed replacement, and said there was danger wheel would fall off. I expressed concern over safety if this were to happened on highway and surprise that a well maintained vehicle with low mileage would have this kind of problem. I was told they see this every week with other general motors vehicles with low mileage. Sounds like an unacceptably high rate of manufacturing defect potentially placing people at risk and causing unnecessary consumer expense for repair.
Front wheel bearings premature failure on 2000 Blazer 4dr 4wd. Common problem on this year of Blazers. Makes a loud humming sound while driving.
I am complaining about the front wheel bearing on a 2000 Blazer with only 36,754 miles on it. These are sealed bearings and no way to service them, they are suppose to last the life of the vehicle. The vehicle vibrates and makes noise and is ruining my tires and could make the vehicle wheel fall off. I got the vehicle used but have only put 10,000 miles on it in 2 years and I have the vehicle serviced every 3,000 miles and have all the records. I feel that there must be a problem with the bearings for them to go in 36,000 miles if that is considered the life of the vehicle maybe I should start buying fords.
I have experienced failure of both front hubs, I can understand one but amazing that it would happen to both. The firestone where I go to did not detect a problem a month before and considered it strange that both went out at the same time.
Driver's side front wheel bearing failure; carbon build-up in throttle body caused accelerator to stick; oil lines to remote oil filter leaking; vehicle has 41,000 mi.
Front wheel bearings: apparent defective parts that fail frequently and have to be replaced. The chevy dealer says they keep plenty of them in parts store since they're always replacing them. Dealer says manufacturer is well aware of the parts problem but refuses to even acknowledge it or reply to questions from dealer.
Replacement of both front wheel bearings at 60,000 miles. Lots of road noise and "hum" vibration coming from front end for several thousand miles, then it got real bad when turn steering wheel to left. Small time mechanic has replaced bearings on 12 Blazers over the course of 6 months. One dealer acknowledged that many Blazers have been in to replace front wheel bearings anywhere from 30-80000 mile. Mechanic thinks it's caused by lack of adequate grounding for the abs braking system.
