Description of the problem | On june 28, 2014, i brought my chevy cruze to the dealership for a safety recall inspection (n140079) to inspect the front axle right half shaft. I was told my vehicle did not have a faulty axle and no further action was required. Then on october 20, 2014, as i was exiting a highway off ramp and merging on to a main road (at approximately 10 mph) the vehicle stopped moving forward. The car was towed to the same dealership that performed the safety inspection on june 28th. The dealership stated the cv axle was broken and the sway bar link was broken in half. The dealership admitted that this was the same part that was inspected and involved in the recall. The dealership stated that the technician who inspected the axle on june 28th made a mistake. The dealership apologized and assured me that they would call in all other applicable customers to have their axles re-inspected. |
