| I have a gmc yukon and the wheel bearings in both sides have went out. i heard that the h2 hummer has a recall on its wheel bearing. how come the yukon doesn't? i heard of other yukons having the same problem. is this a chevy problem? my wheel almost came off of my vehicle going down the highway. the mechanic said the only thing that was keeping it on was the brake caliper. i sure hope nobody gets hurt over saving a couple of dollars, please there needs to be a warning and possibly a recall for this problem. *tr | |||
