CV stands for constant velocity joint. Like anything else mechanical, it fails with wear. It has balls and a cage inside it. It will pop and have slack in it. The boot can also fail, leaking the grease out of it and causing it to fail quicker. If it fails completely, the car will not pull and it can cause massive damage.

Yes. What usually happens is the neoprene boot that covers the joint wears out and breaks. This allows contaminants to enter the joint and grease to be washed away. The CV joint's days are numbered after this happens. You have a limited amount of time to get it fixed before it fails. If it does fail, it is a safety issue.
