Consumer Description

DRIVERS SIDE CV SHAFT SHEARED UNDERNEATH VIBRATION DAMPENER. I WAS TRYING TO TAKE OFF FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE SHAFT BROKE. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A RURAL STATE ROUTE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN QUITE BAD IF ANYONE WAS COMING. AFTER PUSHING THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IT WOULDN'T STAY PUT IN PARK ALMOST LEADING TO IT ROLLING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE I WAS HALFWAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE BREAK ALSO HAPPENED INSIDE THE VIBRATION DAMPENER SO IF THERE WERE ANY CLUES OF THIS PART STARTING TO FAIL THEY WERE HIDDEN AND WOULD HAVE BEEN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR A MECHANIC TO SPOT.
