Vehicle seems to downshift, or not get enough gas, driving it will go into lower gear, engine will rev, odometer goes over 5, in order to keep it from shutting off, I drive it in lower gear. First started after driving app. 50 miles, now it won't stay running. Have replaced the coil, did not help

This particular problem has occurred on two similar vehicles, also on every spirit, acclaim, sundance, shadow I've seen on the road or in the junkyard. This piece of conduit running between the spindle plates has cracked on every one I've come across. I bought this car, thinking it was ok but the dealer or previous owner had shoved rubber hosing up into the voice between axle and tube to keep it quiet. The manufacturer/dealership wants over $1200 to fix by complete replacement, says it has to be done but won't explain what this tube is supposed to accomplish or what could happen if not replaced. Could this be a safety issue? I could afford to fix if I knew it wasn't just going to bust again, but how about all the poorer folk out there who will jimmy it up and pass it along? This is a case of really poor design. I've heard of these failing at 40,000 miles or less. The weld cracks or the tube cracks at either spindle plate. If it's not a safety issue, why have the thing on there at all? Thanks for listening.
