table saw noise from the electric transmission
This plastic bearing cage fails at all sorts of mileage numbers. It is not question of if it will fail, it is a question of when will it fail. The manufacturer is banking on the majority to fail after the warranty is over, the dealerships will earn a hefty payday when the bearing cage fails. See this website for more details: http://sandyblogs.com/techlink/?p=1500 . Rumor is this part was changed from brass to plastic when the test drivers reported a slight noise in the drive train, so now we owners get to pay the price of having it replaced with a brass part, when the plastic one fails. We should not have to suffer from a part failure after the warranty is over, considering using a plastic part was/is a poor engineering decision. They know it was a poor engineering design, since the replacement is now brass. As these 2011 to 2013 vehicles age with mileage, I suspect there will be more and more of this particular failure. It needs to be tracked, so a recall can be issued.
