What owners wrote
Front left side wheel bearing failed at 30,000 miles of wear. Within two week or less the right side wheel bearing failed. Dealer was notified and made the repairs.
I took my car to the dealer complaining of a rubbing/clunking noise while driving. The diagnosis was the exhaust was bent and was rubbing on the driveshaft. Dealer replaced complete exhaust system and driveshaft. I was told this could only have happened due to rear end impact. No impact occurred that I am aware of and no visible damage to vehicle. I contacted my insurance company and they inspected the vehicle and did not find any evidence of rear end damage.
