| Description of the problem | On my way to work when i heard a pop, lost all power and saw my drive shaft on the ground behind me. I had to pull over and had no way to keep the truck from rolling away. I had to remain inside my vehicle until help arrived. This is definitely a safety issue. I am lucky i didn't completely lose control when it happened and that i wasn't hit when i had to sit on the side of the highway inside my broken down truck. I see there are multiple incidents similar involving my year truck, yet dodge has only recalled the 2005 model. My truck was manufactured december 30, 2003. |
