Consumer Description

WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, I HEARD A CLUNK FROM THE BACK OF THE VAN. I DID NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT, BUT THE VAN STARTED TO DRIVE LOOSE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING OVER HOLES AND BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE VAN STARTED TO SWAY, MORE SO THAN NORMAL, WHEN CORNERING TURNS. AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE CAR STARTED TO FEEL MORE OUT OF CONTROL, SO I LOOKED UNDER THE REAR OF THE VAN AND FOUND THE AXEL WAS SEVER TO SHEAR ABOUT 60%.. I STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WILL CALL OUR MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. *TR
