The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact heard a loud noise coming from the front end of the vehicle. The noise grew louder when the brake pedal was depressed. The driver pulled over to the side of the road and called roadside assistance. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer for inspection and they stated that the failure was due to the driver's side wheel bearing, which was replaced. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on a separate occasion for the identical failure. However, the passenger side baron was replaced. The VIN and failure mileage were unknown. The current mileage was 27,700.

Each time the contact experienced a problem with the wheel bearings the wheels would make a grinding noise, and the steering would become very shaky. During the last occurrence, the abs light turned on, and the vehicles brakes failed. Each of the three failures occurred while driving 55 mph. The weather was not a factor. The contact had the vehicle towed to dealer where they replaced the bearing and fixed the brakes, but could not give a reason for the wheel bearing failure.
