Description of the problem	I own a 2009 dodge ram 1500 this incident happened in southern california on the 605 north interchange with the 91 east. I was heading north on the 605 north. Merging onto the 605, i hear a grinding noise coming from under the vehicle. So i begin to slow down, i then tried to accelerate a bit and notice i have no power. The grinding stops and then i can hear the drive shaft bouncing on the ground below my vehicle. The drive shaft was still attached in the front dragging along the freeway. I immediately pulled over. I get out of the vehicle, and there it is the drive shaft snapped. Ripped right away from the pinion in the rear end. Everything ripped out there were no bolts left on the rear end. I got towed to the nearest dodge dealer. They inform me that there has been a recall on that particular part. I had never received a recall notice or i would have taken my vehicle in immmediately. Luckily there wasn't anything further damage to my vehicle that i know of. I have just received knowledge of this website. Or else my complaint would have been filed quite some time ago.
