This is the second bearing failure for my vehicle. I also personally know of 3 other vehicle owners who are or have experienced the same bearing failure in their Jeep.

Front brakes replaced 1 year ago then received recall, winshield washer motor failed, power windows failed. Poor braking and vibration in pedal scraping noise from back end - rear bearings, differential, brakes and rotors need replacement.

Rear end bearing noises, dealer says they have been having problems with them and they now just prefer to replace the whole rear end instead of trying to rebuild them. I asked them if they could just replace the bearings, and they replied that it would be cheaper and more effective to just throw a whole new rear-end in. Expensive and time consuming. I am going to have a private mechanic look at it in the next day or so.
