Ick!

Those are some surprisingly beefy shafts. Dang.

That wasn’t just an early production run problem, it still happens from time to time... If that makes you feel any better.

Coolant?

But the question is will it be covered under the 5 year power train warranty or is it part of the expired 3 year standard warranty.

I want to say CV axle failure. It’s a problem that can come up.

I didn’t know the Fiesta runs on Oobleck.

Since it’s part of the powertrain and not technically a wear item, it should be. If the dealer denies it, contact Ford corporate.

I would agree with you.

Overly beefy shafts just moved the failure point to the joints apparently

And I was just thinking of financing one of these...

Or a bean counter compromise. “We’ll give you the better shaft but you have to use 1993 Festiva tri pots.”

Bleeeeeech :(

I traded mine in but right before that I had mine aligned. Thankfully everything still looked good. Which is amazing considering what it went through...

Mine was one of the last of the ‘14 model years, made in March of 2014. WHen was yours made?

Just to clarify this is something with the CV? The green stuff looks like coolant milkshake. What’s going on here?

... one of many reasons I don’t buy prototypes. If a car isn’t at least one facelift iteration into a design, it likely still needs bugs worked out.
