Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have had two front end shafts sheer off the retaining nut on my car. The first incident was last summer (2009) and the latest incident occurred last night. At the outboard end of the drive shaft, there is a threaded shaft that accepts a (I believe) 22 or 24mm nut. In both cases, the shaft snapped and the retaining nut fell totally off the shaft, leaving only the disc brake caliper to keep the tire from falling off. Yesterdays incident occurred when backing out of a parking place, so this was not a high speed incident, but one that occurred when minimum forces were at play on the car. …”
