problem #1

Mar 072006

Corvette 8-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 4,191 miles
: the contact stated the passenger side rear axel failed multiple times. The first failure occurred on November 26, 2005 at 357 miles. While driving over a pothole the rear axel fractured. The second occurrence was on December 13, 2005 at 1,305 miles. The third was on January 11, 2006 at 2,316 miles. After each failure the rear axel was replaced by a dealership and the part number of the replacement axel was different. The contact felt the change of part numbers could have reflected a different axel manufacturer. While driving at 35mph on March 7, 2006 the rear axel broke again. The vehicle is awaiting repairs at an independent repair shop.
