Description of the problem	Driving on 390n in rochester n. Y. At approx. 5pm heavy traffic . Loud bang and rear tires locked up,, both granddaughters began to scream" whats happening". I had no clue. Looked to right to try to get out of traffic and saw what i thought was my driveshaft spit out from under r r tire.. We were lifted up in air at back of truck and i lost all propulsion, mind you my 5 and 6 year old are screaming as the other half of the drive shaft pounds on the pavement and bottom of truck . I still have no idea what is happening. Somehow and that's what i told the sheriff i got the truck which was now freewheeling off to the side of the road approx. 75-100 ft from my driveshaft that hit the bridge guardrail and stopped from hitting anyone in traffic. I collected myself ,calmed the girls whos big concern was now,, someone is going to smash us and called 911 and my daughter. Then i looked. My driveshaft was torn in two ,oil and parts were everywhere we should be dead but we are not honestly i have no clue how i got that truck over and stopped. Me and the girls pray every night for god to protect our family and angels road in that truck that day. The tow truck driver had to skid the truck up onto the flatbed it was seized so badly,, and my daughter came and safely got the girls off the busy highway and home. The help truck said he had never seen anything like it.. The dodge dealership has been helpful but chrysler has been unhelpful to its dealer and myself with an indifference that discussed me. I hope you do something before someone dies!!!!
