Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING I WOULD HEAR RATTLING NOISES COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PROPELLER SHAFT BOLT INSIDE THE TORQUE TUBE ASSEMBLY CAME LOSE AND DAMAGED THE BEARING INSIDE THE TORQUE TUBE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FREEZE/FAIL, LOSE CONTROL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE TORQUE TUBE ASSEMBLY REMOVED AND REPLACED. THIS OCCURRED ONE WEEK AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF GM'S FIVE YEAR DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY.
