Wheel Bearing Failure

CarComplaints.com Seal Of Avoid Like The Plague

CarComplaints.com Notes: The first year of the new Dodge Dart had a rough start, with owners reporting a disproportionate number of engine and transmission problems.

For transmission, the main complaints are transmission failure & rough shifting. So far, average mileage for transmission failure is 25,000 miles. Not good.

For engine problems, it usually starts with the engine light coming on for any number of reasons: bad sensors, ignition coil replacement, bad wiring, faulty gas cap ... dealers are replacing various components with varying degrees of success, or telling owners they can't duplicate the issue.

Crunching noise/grinding noise. Really loud inside car. Noise while driving like a whomp whomp noise. ABS light came on to service once when the wheel bearing and hub went almost completely out. Once I replaced the wheel hub bearing assembly the ABS light went off.. Thank God.. car drives smooth once again and no awful noise.

Dart 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,000 miles

Earlier in the year at around 24000 miles the left rear bearing went bad. Bought a new bearing and replaced it. not too much of a problem.. but there was still a little noise in the rear end. Later in the year the noise was so bad I had to change the right wheel bearing.

Now July 17th I am hearing a lot of noise again. It sounds as if it is a bearing again. This time it sounds like both. Upon further investigation I see uneven wearing on the tires..almost as if there is a bad shock. But it is both sides of the car. My plan is to change both shocks and tires and see if the noise goes away.

Will have to update again if this is not the cure.

Dart Rallye 1.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 58,699 miles

The premature failure to this bearing was caused by the hub dust cap rotting through and water getting is and rotting the bearing. Im very surprised this isnt made of a corrosion resistant steel, esp that the wheel bearing is not a sealed bearing. Very poor design.

Dart Limitied 4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,000 miles

At 24,000 I had to have the wheel bearings replaced/repacked. They are covered under warranty but they added that the tire had to be replaced due to a side wall issue. I haven't hit anything.. Now I see others have had similar issues with these tires. Not sure what's going on but I have to lay out $156.00 for a new tire that's "hard to find"
