I've had plenty of Chevrolet in the bay over the years, and the wheel-bearing and hub complaints on these don't surprise me. 830 on the NHTSA record across 71 model-year entries (2005–2025) is not a fluke. The 2017 Chevrolet Corvette leads the list but the pattern shows up across multiple years and models. Not a one-off. 1 fatality report on file with NHTSA tied to this category on Chevrolet vehicles. That elevates this from nuisance to safety-critical. Repair cost runs around $400 on average — relatively low for an aggregated category. Across the 445 complaints reporting odometer mileage, the median failure lands at about 24,473 miles. Drive it across the conditions it will actually see — heat, cold, highway, stop-and-go. Pattern complaints surface under load, not in the dealer parking lot.
