When the drive shaft broke loose and folded in half and i ran it over which propelled me into the ditch i contacted the dodge dealership and had the vehicle towed to advantge dodge in mt. Dora where at first they tried to deny that it had anything to do with the recall p77 until they confirmed that the pinion nut came looseand that is what caused the incident. |
