This is unfortunately a known issue, although usually it is caused by someone accelerating while one wheel comes off the ground-such as going over a pothole or speed bump, turning over a large lip, etc. The one wheel spins to max speed almost instantly, then when it touches down again all that force causes the drivetrain to rock to it's max position. If this is done repeatedly or in a severe enough manner, it causes one or both of the drivetrain mounting bolts to shear, allowing the drivetrain to move too far and causing damage to other parts around the drivetrain such as A/C lines, wires or modules.


Morale of the story is, don't beat on your i3. Not saying you did, just saying in general ;)
