POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
WE WERE TAVELING ON HWY. 400 AT APPROX. 65MPH, WHEN THE DRIVESHAFT FELL OUT OF THE TRUCK, DUE TO A BROKEN BOLT HEAD. BEING THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY , CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANY THING ABOUT IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER SOMETHING OTHER THAN A TYPICAL WARRANTY, SINCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF. BY THE GRACE OF GOD WE WERE ABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK INTO THE MEDIAN WITHOUT GETTING HIT.
