About a year ago, I started to get a traction control/abs sensor light. I had it checked out by a local shop and was told that I had a bad sensor and the sensor was part of the wheel bearing hub. I go to O'Reilly's and get a new hub (the best one they offered) and installed it using proper torque specs. All was fine and dandy for about 3 months, then the O'Reilly bearing goes bad, no problem it's still under warranty. Put another hub in, at about the 3 month mark, the alarm comes back. Put a 3rd Hub in and it lasts about the same duration before the sensor goes bad again. Replaced the current hub back in July, and just this past weekend, the bearing is shot and very loud. Is there anything that could be causing the premature failure? It seems like either the sensor goes bad or the bearing goes bad, never both. It's still under warranty, but I'm getting tired of changing these out.

I'd demand a refund from Orilieys and then go buy a GM one from the dealer.
Is the car still under warranty? My wife's '13 Malibu has had all kinds of recalls and problems, we've taken it back a ton of times.
