| Description of the problem | Drive shaft failure/. Started making horrible sound. Next thing i know drive shaft comes out!!!! Traveling 70 mph on the highway. Almost died when i lost control of the vehicle. '05 suburu baja w/ 90,000 miles on it. Very scary event!!!! This does not seem right that a car that has been maintained and serviced regularly would have this type of failure and that suburu is not more concerned about my situation!!!! |
