| Wheel problems |
Luckily I was driving up to a stop sign at 20 miles per hour when the power steering assist locked up 44th and quaker lubbock texas.
Had to replace front wheel bearings 1000+ after only 80,000 miles. Additionally, had to replace a speaker for the back up system. What kind of idiots are they. Safety issue: I also to have throttle body work done 2 years ago and the last 10 days, 31 July to 9 Aug, have had 6 episodes of the wrench light coming on with two of them resulting in sudden deceleration on the freeway.
Driving on I-93n and started to hear a vibrating and humming from the front end. It got worse and worse and pulled into rest area to discover that 3 of 5 lug nuts on the drivers side front were loose to the point that they were only a few turns from completely being removed. Tightened lugs manually and went on my way but that was an eye opener!.
Rear tires have experienced uneven wear patterns indicative of severe toe-in condition through 3 sets of tires. Condition is evident only on rear tires, both left and right.
Wheels have cracks radiating from the lug bolt holes on three of the four wheels. Visible on back side only. Each time the tires are rotated by costco, more cracks are appearing. First noticed in January 2013 tire rotation. Correct torque is applied according to costo technician at 100 ftlb according to specifications. Rims appear to be aluminum.
