While driving my new Pontiac GTO the bolts that hold drivers side half shaft in fell out causing the half shaft to fall out if I would of been going faster then 20 mph it could of caused serious damage and or injury. When I shifted from first to second that's when it fell out. It is at dealer currently will call to see what's going on. Do not know why they were not tight in the first place as I was on www.ls1gto.com and found people with similar problems I do believe six of them all had the driver's side inner half shaft bolts fall out!

Driving in 2nd gear (manual transmission), 25mph, I heard a loud clunk and the car no longer accelerated. Got out and found 6 bolts that hold the drivers side half shaft to the differential were lying in the road. Had the car towed to ultimate Pontiac, fredericksburg, va. It has been there since August 9th with parts on back order.

When proceeding normally from a traffic light the car stopped accelerating right after shifting into second gear. Car was towed to local dealer. Found that all 6 bolts and 3 retainers holding the driver's axle shaft to the differential had fallen out. Next day I found all bolts and retainers within 50 feet of each other on the side of the road. I was severely harassed by the dealer and they refused to fix it. Had the car towed to the selling dealership and I was harassed there also, but they fixed it under warranty as a "favor". corrected by replacing the inner cv joint, output hub and installing new bolts and retainers. Since my mishap, this has happened to at least 3 other cars. Both dealerships are incompetent and do not know the car, their customer service is horrible.
