August 2002 Injury

I have a 2002 pontiac aztek and all four of the wheel bearings went bad with only 45,000 miles on the car. The anti lock brakes come on when you touch the brakes and we've almost been in quite a few wrecks. I've researched some reviews and there are alot of people that are having the same problems that I'm having. Thank you for your time.
