Tires and Wheels problem
2004 GMC Canyon Two Wheel Drive Automatic 165000 miles

Had front brakes and rotors replaced at sears. Vehicle returned to me with severe shaking in steering wheel while braking. Told 3 ball joints and two tie-rods needed to be replaced. Had different shop do ball joints and tie-rods, no difference still severe shaking when braking. Had sears cut rotors must have been warped out of box returned to me all good. 3weeks later bearings bad (left side) told to return to sears caused by brake and rotors job. Vehicle driven approximately 40 miles with bad rotors (used parking brake a lot because shaking was so bad) Did bad rotors cause bearings to go bad sears says no How do I get them to accept responsibility for bearings

Obviously there was something wrong from the start, sears blamed it on different parts that did not solve the problem. Sears should be responsible for the whole job, to make them take responsibility you must complain to sears head quarters, if that doesn't not help, small claims court would be your best recourse.
