I have had this van since new and I can tell you that wheel bearings should not be that bad at just 150k on any vehicle, (I am a licensed automotive service technician), that this seems to be an on going thing with Toyota using parts of sub standard quality. The bearings failed prematurely the same as the water pump ($400) and the biggest failure of the oil cooler hose ($450, plus hotel at $180, plus towing at $80, plus rental car). Way Way to many issues for a van with less that 150k. There is no way that this van lives up to the hype of the quality that they profess to have.
