There must be something contributing to making your problem: parking with the wheels forced into the curb or maybe too much stuff on your key chain that causes the key to wear the tumblers while wiggling around. As for wheel bearings at 100000 miles, maybe you should go to someplace besides the dealer, sounds like they need some extra money.
Go buy a Ford last I heard a bunch of guys with diesel trucks were tired of spending lots of money on problems that ford won't own up to.
