 1. sound from rear of vehicle when i drove before buying march 24, 2005, on april 18, 2005 in fayette, ohio loud sound from left rear of vehicle sounded, stopped and discovered smoke and burning smell from left rear wheel. at jim vandykes garage the owner knew exactly what was wrong and stated that if we had continued the wheel would have locked up causing possible accident. we waited 3 hours and $635.35 later all parts were replaced in both rear wheels by scott vandyke. mr. scott vandyke saved all the parts for us and showed my fiancee' the bearings that fell out in his hands when he removed the components. i have the invoice listing all the parts that were replaced and mr. scott vandyke also informed us that the left rear brakes were put on backwards. he stated they were forced into place to fit i have the receipt of payment since i had to charge this amount on my credit card. thank you.
