Vehicle started making loud rubbing noise coming from the drivers side wheel. If vehicle had continued to be driven, it is possible the wheel could have fallen off. The wheel hub bearing was defective. After searching the internet forums it is obvious that this is a reoccuring problem on GMC Terrains and Chevrolet equinox. GMC refused to repair under warranty and after submission to them for reimbursement, they decilined.
