| Description of the problem | While driving down the freeway at 65mph i heard a whining sound. I reached my exit and there was a clunking sound and i immediately pulled over and turned the truck off. When i inspected the truck the drive line was on the ground disconnected from the rear axle. The gears were locked up and the truck could not move. Truck was towed to the dealership the next day. After 5 weeks there are still no replacement parts. They are repairing the truck and using stock replacement parts that contain the same defect that caused the failure. 8/15/13 the warranty center said the non-defective replacement parts are on national backorder. |
