Description of the problem	Waiting at stop light proceeded on green all of a sudden big banging noise underside of truck stopped in traffic by traffic light looked under truck to see drive shaft broke in half call 911 to help direct traffic called tow co. To tow vehicle to repair shop head mechanic confirmed drive shaft broke in half due to rust. Drive shaft cracked in half at the middle and not at the u joints head mechanic confirmed to me and also the dealership where i bought the truck said its the first for them of the rust and breakage. My issue is that i had a hard time finding a drive shaft and was told nothing in stock they had to make one special. I had to pay the price also was glad i was not driving on the hwy with my grand kids. My issue is that i believe the drive shaft was faulty not a wear and tear issue like ford customer service said. Further more they said they cannot do anything because my truck warranty expired.
