Consumer Description

TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A CHATTER NOISE AT IDLE AND WHEN STATIONARY. I'M TOLD THAT THE TORQUE TUBE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THE CAR ONLY HAS 27,000 MILES AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO HAVE HAPPEN IF IT FAILS WHY YOU ARE DRIVING IT AND IT CAUSES MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE REST OF THE DRIVE TRAIN. IT IS A MAJOR PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN AND AN OBVIOUS DEFECT WITH THE CORVETTES AS NOTED IN THE FORUMS. A RECALL IS IN ORDER AND CHEVORLET NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND REPAIR THESE TO MAKE THIS CAR SAFER BEFORE SOME ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE AT AROUND 3,000. A REPAIR THAT SHOULD NEVER NEED TO BE DONE ON A LOW MILEAGE CAR.
