A hub will give signed way prior to freezing up. Vebrating and shaking on tje side the hub is on.You will hear a bad hub vibrate. Especially when you go around a corner that puts more of weight on tjay side. Thats just before it freezes and or snaps. Nor will it freeze up then release.
But there are 2 easy test. Fill a spay bottle with water. After driving for s bit, or especially when it locks up on you, spray it on your rotors. If it steams and evaporates, that's normal. If it Sizzles like water on hot coals That's a bad caliper.
For the hub, put the car on your jack. Hold the tire at the 3 and 9 o'clock Position's and wiggle it from side to side. If it moves, through hub is bad.

 

I'd rev the engine it would get to about 3000 rpms then the needle on the speedometer would move but it would bounce around

 

No offense intended, but you should do a little more research before making erroneous statements.

 

I could be wrong, But I have never heard of a Hub Bearing Seizing. Of coarse this is from my limited experience with my own cars over the last 34 yrs.
Granted a Seized caliper will give signs it is going bad too.
If I am wrong then I need to Learn something. I would like to know what statement I made that was erroneous. So I do not make that mistake again! Thanks!!!!!

 

The bold-faced type above contain the erroneous information. They may be some of the symptoms one may experience, but a bearing can go away prior to any of those signs showing up. I have seen numerous hubs (usually cheap off brand) seize within a couple hundred miles and not make a sound before seizing.

A bearing can seize, then release. However, if the bearing is allowed to completely cool (solidify) then it won't break free.

 

03SSLE, although I have never seen a seized bearing release, I cannot go against your experience. After all that's the basis for MCF, to learn from one another's experience! You learned me something today!!!!!

 

All I know is that the car shifts gears perfectly but won't move my mechanic said something in the transmission has malfunctioned
