Consumer Description

A WHINING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM SOMEWHERE ON THE VEHICLE APPROX 30 MIN BEFORE THE REAR END EXPLODED LOCKING THE VEHICLE UP AND CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO FLY ACROSS TWO LANES OF HEAVY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC. THANK THE LORD NO ONE WAS INJURED OR ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED DUE TO THIS FAILURE OF A LOOSE PINION NUT ON THE DRIVE SHAFT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WILL COST OVER 4500 DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING CAR RENTAL TO GET IT REPAIRED, THE DEALER SAID THEY CONTACTED THE MFG. AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEALER MAINTAINED SINCE NEW AND SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITHOUT A RECALL OR WARNING.
