I would hope so, warranty that is. I just hope something was wrong with my car, and this isnt a sign of a crappy made line. I havent seen anything about people busting boots. I dont know if it took some damage from potholes, and this was just icing on the cake or what, but its irritating that now I have to arrange transportation to work and taking kids to daycare in the morning and its 11 at night. I have a pic on my phone ill post up in a few but the battery has to charge

Early production cars (2010) had issues with axles snapping. This is the first 2013 I've heard of with the same problem.

there's a couple guys on here recently that have threads about their axle/boots having issues, leaking or having damage to them.
Hope this isn't the 2013 version of the V6 engine oil loss or vert top issues :( |
