Just driving down the road and on left turns heard unusual noises coming from the rear of the vehicle. Returned to work and looked under the car and visibly saw that the rear axle had cracked and split in half. The right rear wheel was cocked into the fender well where the tire was rubbing on the inside of the well and had worn the tire to the white wall. So far the cost of repair has been minimal - 125.00 (for towing and weld on axle) but I haven't taken it in to the dealership to have the complete repair estimated. I'm sure it's not going to be cheap as all parts have to be shipped to the island and paid for prior to installation.
