Description of the problem	Our granddaughter's husband was driving the truck. While driving down the road, the truck started shaking. He pulled over and checked for a flat tire and looked under the truck. The tires were fine and he didn't see anything leaking. He started driving again and the truck started shaking again he pulled into a gas station and checked under the truck again for leaks, but nothing was leaking. The engine was running fine so he started driving again. The truck was still shaking and then started humming and making grinding noises. Then the engine stopped running but kept moving as if it were in neutral ( but still in drive). He pulled off the road. He called the closest chrysler dealer and had it towed there. The technician said the pinion seal had leaked and there was no fluid in rear differential. The truck had a full service check in october and there were no signs of leakage. There were no signs of leakage on the garage floor either. After research, i've read of many others who have had this same problem. After doing everything we should have to care for the truck, we still ended up paying $5940. 75.
