Third front wheel hub bearing in 60,000 miles. Dealer says this is normal wear and tear. Most mechanics tell me this is very excessive and most hardly ever replace a wheel bearing. I feel this can be a safety issue as a bearing could fail and a wheel come off at a high rate of speed causing death or serious injury.
