| Description of the problem | Update on my vehicle..... I just had to take my vehicle back in on 6/22/14 and heard back from the service center on 6/23/14. Apparently somehow my passenger side axle broke which caused the loud bang and my vehicle to stop running and/or from going into gear. They are not sure what caused this or why. Now they have to replace it. I got my vehicle back on 6/25/14 and it does not drive the same, does not have that smooth shifting like it did before, and can still hear a very faint clinging sound when driving. I do not feel safe with this vehicle any longer. It really upsets me that the manufacture let something like this get passed them. They need to do a better job on inspecting these vehicles before they send them out to consumers and do a better job on inspecting all parts. This incident along with my last one i posted about my transmission were told to the manufacture. Now i really do not feel safe with this car, really i don't. |
