  SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN

  AFTER A REPAIR TO THE TRANSMISSION BY A LICENSED FACILITY, THE PROP SHAFT DEPARTED THE REAR AXLE DUE TO A FLANGE BREAKING. THE PROP SHAFT FAILED AROUND AND TORE OFF THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE REAR BRAKE LINES; THE CABLE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ALSO COMPROMISED. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE STOPPED. ALL POWER STEERING AND ALL BRAKING WAS LOST; THE TRUCK ROLLED TO A STOP, AND THEN ROLLED BACKWARDS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE INTO A SNOW BANK. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS A FAILURE LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED SUCH A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF CONTROL- THE FRONT BRAKES AT LEAST SHOULD HAVE WORKED. *TR
