Outside of poor instaltion issues bearings failing in 5k are not common! and all 8 bearings that would be some bad luck. If you can I would head over to the service center and see if your unit is sitting in the lot or on jacks.If it is sitting in the lot ask the service dept to pull one and show it to you! if in the shop ask to see them. I do not mean the next part as an insult. look the bearings over carefuly. are the rollers pitted or burnt? look at the races in the hubs,the part the rollers ride on are they smooth or pitted. if pitted they are bad smooth with some slight discoloration is ok. Might be the flat rate tech is looking to go out on the town! lets hope not. let us know what you find.
