Consumer Description

AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT THE VEHICLE HAD 660 MILES. MOST OF THE ACCUMULATED MILES ARE: 60% STREET AND 40% HIWAY. I WAS INSPECTING THE WHEELS AND TIRE WHEN I SPOTTED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GREY/BLACK COLORED GREASE RANDOMLY COVERING THE INNER WHEEL. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT THE GREASE WAS SPLATTERED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE UNIT, SENSORS AND WIRING HARNESS. THE GREASE WAS ISOLATED TO THE REAR PASSANGER AXLE. I SUSPECT THAT THE GREASE CAME FROM A DEFECTIVE CV BOOT. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO CHECKOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY DETERMINED THE GREASE WAS FROM A DEFECTIVE CV BOOT. NEW AXLE WAS ORDERED.
