2011 Impala Front Hub
The front hub by definition is part of the drive train. NOT according to GMC. So, my question is, is it part of the brakes, the steering, the suspension or maybe it's part of the tail lights? GMC said it is not covered under the drive train warranty.

Yep, my local dealer keeps quoting that warranty like it's gospel. Seems pretty obvious that the hub is a fail point and GMC made the bearings unchangable so they could soak you around $350 for a new hub. I got the drive train warranty and the Vehicle 1 Premium warranty so i'm going to give them another chance to make this right before taking this up a notch.

Ummm, unless you find something in your documentation where it says the hub is included, I'm not sure what ground you have to stand on?
Is it a sealed hub? Jack the car up, remove the caliper, remove the rotor, unplug the hub, knock old hub off, installation reverse of removal.

Or you find and point out where the extended warranty says wheel bearings. , Since the hub and bearings are one assembly, problem solved.They are taking it into the shop tuesday morning and replacing the hub. Thanks for the replies.
