I HAVE HAD TWO WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED ON MY '03 RENDEZVOUS WITHIN 4K MILES ONLY TO BE TOLD THIS WILL BE A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM THAT THERE ARE NO PLANS TO RECTIFY I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP TO SELL THE CAR, BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, OR PAY THE REPAIR BILL EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS ONCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY I HAVE NOT HAD ANY HARM COME TO ME BUT WITH ALL THE RENDEZVOUS ON THE ROAD IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS DEFECT THAT GM IGNORES HURTS OR KILLS SOMEONE. *JB
