So I brought it to my local chevy dealer for a 4 wheel alignment. I was told that both rear spindle rods needed replacing to the tune of $700. 00. The service dept. Told me they could not get enough adjustment in the current spindle rods to bring the alignment into spec. And there is an updated part to replace them. Gm has known about this problem since 2009 and it effects both 2007 and 2008 chevy Impalas. They did a recall on 07 and 08 police versions of the Impala but not on the civilian version. The nhtsb needs to take a hard look at this design problem before someone is hurt or killed due to a blow out. This problem occurred on Monday, February 3, 2014.

Rear Axle Spindle problem of Ford Fusion
The car involved was a 2013 Ford Fusion. Vehicle driver was driving on a public road approximately 35 miles per hour when a thud was heard and the right front of the vehicle went down similar to having a flat tire. The driver stopped the vehicle as the steering and braking was adversely affected. After getting out of the vehicle and seeing what happened the driver saw that the right front wheel was out of its normal configuration with the wheel at approximately a 45 degree angle with the top of the wheel pointing inward toward the engine and the bottom of the wheel point outward toward the right. After a tow vehicle was called and picking up the vehicle, it was discovered that the right front aluminum lower control arm broke straight across where the lower ball joint was pressed into the control arm. This caused release of the lower axis connection of the wheel spindle and broke the right front driveshaft , tie rod, and bent the strut. This is a catastrophic failure of the lower control arm with potential to cause serious injury to the driver and any other vehicles or pedestrians. Ford is trying to disclaim and play down this failure saying that is not the fault of their defective lower control arm. I feel all vehicles of this kind have the potential to fail in the same way and should be immediately inspected for signs of cracking on the lower control arm. It was Thursday, November 14, 2013 when this rear axle spindle issue happened.

Rear Axle Spindle problem of Lincoln LS
The vehicle had a crash. Without any warning, my daughter was driving her 2000 Lincoln Ls and the left front lower ball joint stud broke and the wheel jammed under the fender and the car swerved to the rt side of the road. I called the local Lincoln dealer and they stated that this happens quite often on the Lincoln Ls ball joints and they sell a $500 part to replace the ball joint and spindle. This is a very dangerous design and flaw if it breaks straight off with no warning. Good thing she was only driving 25mph when it happened and not 65 mph, who knows. I can only now worry that the right side might break too without warning??. It was Monday, June 21, 2010 when this rear axle spindle issue happened.

Rear Axle Spindle problem of Mazda Tribute
I have a 2008 Mazda Tribute with 13,000 miles on it. Last week I noticed the right rear wheel was tilted out or in technical terms it had extreme negative camber. I got underneath the vehicle and saw that the lower ball joint had come out of the control arm. The lower control arm is designed for the ball joint to fit in a stamped steel sleeve then bolt tight to the rear spindle once the ball joint is dislodged from the control arm the integrity of the ball joint and the control arm are compromised. I called the dealer and explained what had happened and he told me to bring it in right away for fear that the rear wheel could collapse under the vehicle. I'm well aware of what could happen but I'm more concerned that a warranty repair would not solve the cause of the problem. I'm also concerned the problem would die at the dealership and not be brought to the proper personnel attention. I'm going to take pictures of the ball joint and control arm before I take it in for the repair. I really don't feel safe driving the vehicle now that I know what could possibly happen. I can't believe that this has never happened to any other Tribute or escape. I don't plan on driving this vehicle until I receive a return response from your department. This problem occurred on Wednesday, April 1, 2009.

Rear Axle Spindle problem of Mazda MAZDA3
The vehicle is a 2007 Mazda Mazda3. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is JM1BK34417_. Hard knocking noise occurs when attempting to turn the vehicle. Dealership has made multiple failed repair attempts to fix the vehicle (a motor mount, rear sway bar bushings, front strut bar bushings, front sway bar, stabilizer plate, control rod, upper strut bearing and mount) as drivability and handling issues have become worse. The dealership recently determined that the vehicle has a bent lower a-arm which is of no fault to external influence. As the vehicle is now out of warranty the manufacturer is refusing to fix the vehicle. The defect in the lower a-arm is as a result of a failure in material. The front end geometry is now severely out phase by 30 degrees (per the dealership) which can cause undue stress to the lower ball joint causing premature breakage. The result of the lower a-arm separating from the spindle can cause an accident. The vehicle needs a new a-arm and possibly other related components. This rear axle spindle issue occurred 04/10/09.

Rear Axle Spindle problem of Mercedes Benz C Class
The vehicle involved is a 1999 Mercedes Benz C Class. The vehicle identification number (VIN) of this Mercedes Benz C Class is WDBHA24G0X_. Spring perch (mount) for the front spring on driver's side failed due to corrosion causing spring to be ejected under the car and fender to drop onto tire. Corrosion is undetectable by normal inspection because manufacturer uses a heavy, rubberized coating on underbody parts. Car was traveling at low speed so damage was minimal. At higher speeds, consequences could be severe. Investigation reveals that this is becoming a fairly common occurrence on Mercedes Benz w202 and w210 chassis. Failure has not been repaired, but is believed to require removal of remnants of the old perch, grinding of the frame to remove corrosion, and welding a new perch onto the frame. The spindle assembly and control arms will have to be disassembled to accomplish this and then reassembled and the suspension realigned. It was Feb. 28, 2009 when this rear axle spindle issue occurred.

Rear Axle Spindle problem of Nissan Sentra
The car involved was a 2010 Nissan Sentra. I don't know if this is a one-time,only-thing, but felt I wanted to mention it. My mother drives a 2010 Nissan Sentra, built about 2/10 it has never been serviced by the dealer except for 'included' oil and filter changes, as part of the new car 'sell' I took the front left wheel off, to rotate the tires and, since I have replaced control arms, and cv axles myself in the past, looked around. The 32 mm spindle nut was loose enough to turn by hand, the original cotter-pin (painted black while the car was built) was original-properly intact. I consulted my technical manual and it said that this 32 mm spindle nut is usually torqued to 92 foot-pounds-not finger tight. In fairness as I write this-to leave no stone unturned-and to the manufacturers defense-the car did hit a curb on that side-and the tire blew-it was replaced by etd tire service in NJ. But that cotter pin is original-never removed. So a socket could not have been put on it to loosen it from the original torque setting. Unless the shock of the tire impact jarred it loose? knocked the wheel bearing and loosened the spindle nut? either way-I am glad I spotted this. I wonder if this torque specification is adequate? 92 foot lbs. ## VIN failed ## 2010 Nissan Sentra sr ##. This rear axle spindle issue occurred Jul. 9, 2012.

Rear Axle Spindle problem of Volkswagen Golf
The vehicle was a 2013 Volkswagen Golf. There was crash involved with this Volkswagen Golf. On July 16th, 2013, at 9:10 pm, I had driven, my vw Golf, 11 miles, at freeway speeds, of 59 mph. I was using the cruise control. Upon arriving, at my freeway exit, I believe I turned off the cruise control, or tapped the brake. I dont recall which. I had been driving my 2013 Golf, for 11 miles, at the freeway speeds, of 59 mph. Other vehicles were passing me, with these other vehicles going faster, than my car. I was going slower than them. My car was new, and I am retired. So I do not need to travel so fast. After allowing the 2013 vw Golf, to slow down, I pushed the service break pedal. The sevice brake pedal, went all the way to the floor. I quickly though, air was in the brake system, so I tried to push the service brake pedal, an additional 2 times. So I had to deal with this fast vehicle traveling, at 59 mph. The car became airbound. So I was able to swerve the vw Golf, in a right turn manuver. To avoid, crashing, actually, t-boning, the cross traffic. The 2013 Golf, did not roll over, it just slid sideways, the vw became airbound. And hit the middle median, sideways. The left front wheel, snapped off, at the spindle. The brake hose snapped, but there was no brake fluid, leaking out, of the brake hose. It is my opinion, there was zero brake fluid, in this new vw car. Nothing is being done. I hope, the car, will be picked up, very soon. The crashed vw, is parked right here, in front of my home. I first thought, that some person sabatoged, my car. But, here in front of my home, there are no leaks. The tow truck, driver, wayne is his name, he declared, to me, that he did not have to clean up, any brake fluid, and the vw of America, greg peters representitive, told me, that there was zero brake fluid, in the car. It was Jul. 16, 2010 when this rear axle spindle issue occurred.

Rear Axle Spindle problem of Volkswagen Passat
The vehicle was a 2002 Volkswagen Passat. Vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle is WVWPD63B42_. I had problems with the faulty ignition coil two times and the second time, they replaced all the coils. Here in texas, when the temperature goes down below 28 f ( which is very rare) I am afraid. I can be stuck in the road. Hope the coil problem wont happen again. I also have problem with the brakes. Its making creaking sounds with the parking brake / hand brake. The technition told me that its natural. . I cant beleive that. I gues I have to spend lot of money in near future to replace all those brake parts. Also the metal beeding on the roof is coming up. It is not causing any problem, but I have to push it hard almost everyday. I guess vw never tested the car for long time. So far I found so many complaints about Passat. Hope they will improve it. This problem occurred on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2002.

Vehicle identification number (VIN): 1G6KD54Y7X_. I have a 1999 Cadillac Deville, there is a problem with the rear suspension knuckle assembly, I have had this car to 2 different dealers, the second dealer, last summer, replaced the rear struts & stabilizer bar which did not rectify the situation when ambient temperatures are above 60 degrees, I hear a "fierce" screech/scrunch sound from the rear suspension, I have gone round & round with Cadillac customer service & the dealers, now that the car is no longer under warranty Cadillac doesn't want anything to do with it. I had my oil changed & the tires rotated last week & while they were under the car I had them to look at the rear suspension, they said it needed a new knuckle assembly & the dealer knew better than replace rear struts with this type of noise. It seems that nourse Cadillac in delaware ran up a big tab & billed it to Cadillac (warranty) and as soon as they made their money they wanted nothing more to do with the car so now I am stuck. A car of this magnitude & price should not have rear components wearing like this, I only have 77,000 miles on the car & I do not drive it hard. . . . What do I do?.
