Description of the problem | I was going down i-81 north at 11:30 pm temp was 43 and dry i had the cruise set at 70 mph and the car was shaking real bad it started jumping and then the car revved to 5000 rpm and stopped pulling i put the car in neutral and coasted to try to get off the highway was able to get to the gardrail at the 124. 7 mm and sit there the car would not sit in park it would roll backwards so i applied the parking brake until wrecker arrived ,i have gotten my car assessed at berglund dodge in roanoke va the problem was the pinion nut has backed off and because of the rate of speed the pinion yoke has been destroyed . It is going to be a 650. 00 repair i called dodge and the warranty ran out on my car on june 22,2015 this car only has 31,152 miles on it and thought they may fix the problem because there has been several recalls about the pinion nuts backing off the car hasn't been driven because of the shortage of the air bags not available to be replaced and i'm somewhat scared to drive it and the thoughts of being hit on the side of the highway was some uneasy. |
