Wow, 3rd failure in 7 months? Shamrock, I would ask the dealer to look into possibly other issues causing the failures. You're the only one I know of who has had torque tube failure after the first replacement. It almost sounds like the dealer isn't doing the install correctly, or is using sub-standard parts. I would also get hold of Chevrolet Customer Service directly and let them know what's going on. Your situation is far from normal and I suspect more is happening than just torque tube failures.

As a final thought, you may want check into your state's Lemon Law. That may give you additional leverage when discussing things with the dealer and GM. Consult an attorney, they may have better insight on the law's details.

My heart goes out to you. Little is worse than having a hard-earned dream give you a lot of headaches. Good luck!
