| Description of the problem | While driving the vehicle came to a complete stop. It felt like someone had hit me from the back. When i got off to look i saw that no one had crashed into me. A bystander says that my drive shaft is on the floor. Had to call a tow truck to take home. Went to a dodge dealer about the issue and stated that there was a recall on it. He said that the vehicle was taken to dealership 5 years ago. The problem was previously fixed. They can't do anything about it. I looked up some information and found that this has happened again to other drivers. All owners stated that issues were never resolved. My dad owns a 1999 dodge 1500 and the drive shaft has never fallen off. |
