Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER COMPLAINING OF A RUBBING/CLUNKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE EXHAUST WAS BENT AND WAS RUBBING ON THE DRIVESHAFT. DEALER REPLACED COMPLETE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND DRIVESHAFT. I WAS TOLD THIS COULD ONLY HAVE HAPPENED DUE TO REAR END IMPACT. NO IMPACT OCCURRED THAT I AM AWARE OF AND NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF REAR END DAMAGE. THEY SUSPECT DESIGN/SAFETY DEFECT AND ASKED THE DEALER TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THE DRIVE SHAFT. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN ONE OTHER TIME. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE
