Torque Tube problem....recurring problem ??
Okay guys my 2012 Grand sport with only 15k miles, I was told by the service department has a torque tube issue.
My question is if the torque tube is a problem and needs replacing etc. is this an ongoing problem that will occur again and again due to this cars imperfections, flywheel, engine etc etc.
In other words does this torque tube scenario only occur on cars with problems and I should expect to have recurring problem forever?? Or is this problem one that they fix and your done....
Do most people with this problem get it fixed and your done or did I sign up torque tube school...

My main question is does this actually get fixed when they repair it or is this simply a temporary fix that is going to be a recurring problem for the lifetime of the car...
I seem to read people complaining about this being a recurring issue once you have it....
They fix the bearings, they wear down again, they then say its the fly wheel, then the shaft....for me I dont have time to be going back and forth to the dealership nor do I want to deal with an ongoing problem....
Has anyone had this fixed and it was actually fixed??!!

Stock car? Shouldn't be going through them that quickly with stock power on the street.
There are upgraded parts you can get for them like better couplers, and driveshafts to keep them from flexing or destroying themselves but if it is tearing it apart like that...something was either wrong from the start or there is another issue with it.
