MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2006 GMC SIERRA PICKUP, WHEN THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED,FOLLOWED BY THE TRUCK WANTING TO STEER TO THE RIGHT. HE INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS TILTED INBOARD AND DECIDED TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED HOME. TODAY WE REMOVED THE WHEEL, AND FOUND A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A SEALED UNIT THAT CONTAINS THE WHEEL BEARINGS, AND HAS THE WHEEL STUDS MOUNTED TO IT ALSO. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT AN ITEM THAT CAN BE SERVICED IN THE FIELD, SUCH AS REPACKING OF THE BEARINGS. BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED, AND THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE WHEEL ON WAS THE BRAKE CALIPER. WE INSTALLED A NEW HUB ASSEMBLY AND BRAKE DISC TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. *TR

DEALERS SERVICE MANAGER WAS CONVINCED TO RIDE IN THE TRUCK AND STATED " THIS RIDE IS UNACCEPTABLE". *TR

SUSPENSION MADE A 'THUNKING' NOISE WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE R. REAR TENSIONER LEAF SPRING WORN OR WAS WORN AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I NEVER GOT A STRAIGHT ANSWER AS TO WHY, BAD METAL OR WHAT? I'VE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY HEAVY LOADS IN THE BED CAUSING OVER COMPRESSION OF THE LEAF SPRINGS. TRUCK HAS ALWAYS SEEMED TO LEAN TO ONE SIDE AND LOOKS LOWER THAN FACTORY HEIGHT. DEALER FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. IT NOW SEEMS TO BE MAKING A SIMILAR NOISE BUT FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION AREA WHILE DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS AND INTO DRIVEWAYS. I HAVE TO VERIFY THIS AND GET IT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MORE WORK...AND TRY TO GET ANSWERS. *JB

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
