| Description of the problem | Rear end locked up going down highway at approximately 45 mph, sent me sliding into the slow lane and then off of the highway into a driveway coming to a halting stop with my tailgate was still partially in a heavily traveled highway. The driveshaft also dropped down and eventually came completely off and i had to call a roll back to come get truck. I have had this 2002 truck for the past 11 years and i have never been notified by dodage that this could be a major issue. All in all it has been a good truck. This incident really scared me, as i work out of this truck with my business and now i have to suffer a loss for not being able to work until i spend a good some of money to fix this issue so i am able to use it again. |
