Description of the problem | Takata recall i was traveling down the highway at approximately 75 mph when i was accelerating over an overpass the vehicle began to vibrate with an associated humming noise and after about two seconds after theach vibration started a very loud and violent banging sound came from under the vehicle that was felt from the inside. I immediately steered to the highway shoulder, because i could see metal chunks tumbling from behind the vehicle from my rear view mirror. Once i was on the shoulder i looked under the truck to see the drive shaft had come apart from the transmission with the u-joint still connected on the transmission side. The drive shaft was mangled on the transmission side, and the exhaust was crushed with holes in it. The tool road authority stopped to render aid and kindly towed my vehicle off the tool road to the nearest gas station. Images were taken of the damage, but we're to big in size to upload. |
