Consumer Description

ONE OF THE FRONT AXLES SHEARED (BROKE IN HALF). THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR STARTED MOVING FORWARD WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. AN ACCIDENT DIDN'T RESULT BUT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THE AXLE WAS MADE WITH WEAK METAL. THE CAR HAD 122,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS SINCE BEEN SOLD TO CARMAX. THE OTHER FRONT AXLE HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED BUT LIKELY IS MADE OF THE SAME WEAK METAL. I HAVE THE BROKEN AXLE AND WILL SAVE IT FOR ANOTHER MONTH.
