2 Axle Shaft problem of the 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier

Failure Date: 07/10/2000

Rubbing/grinding noise present ten days after purchase. Both wheel bearings replaced, noise still present. I was told that I had singing tires. The tires are goodyear. After several attempts to correct problem, I called goodyear, they in turn, put a brand new set of tires on the Cavalier. The problem was still present. I have taken the car to several dealers who stated that the problem was the wheel bearings, mcclinton Chevrolet could not hear the rubbing/grinding noise, therefore, would not investigate or fix the problem. I have never been satisfied with the car or the dealership. They wouild not fix the problem or give me a new car. I have since then parked the car. The problem still exists.
