Consumer Description

THE REAR AXLE BROKE AT THE WELD. DRIVING UNDER NORMAL SPPED AND DRIVING CONDITIONS, I NOTICED A STRANGE RUBBING SOULD COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AFTER I GOT HOME I NOTICED THE CLEARANCE ON REAR WHEEL AT TOP WAS MUCH LESS THEN OTHER SIDE, AFTER TAKING TO SHOP I WAS THEN INFORMED OF THE CRACKED/BROKEN AXLE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THERE WERE OTHERS WHO'S CAR'S HAD REAR AXLE'S THAT WERE BREAKING AT THE WELDS AROUND THE SAME YEARS 2007-2009 THIS COULD BE A POTENTIALLY DEADLY
