Consumer Description

ON JULY 4TH 2012 I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND AS I STARTED TO TURN THE CAR JUMPED IN THE AIR THE AIR BAGS ON THE SIDES DEPLOYED. I STOPPED THE CAR TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. AS I GOT OUT I CHECKED THE REAR TO MAKE SURE I DID NOT GET HIT. NO CARS AROUND. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS BROKE IN HALF. I DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. I TOWED THE TRUCK HOME STARTED LOOKING ON LINE AND SEE MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. JUST AS THE OTHERS IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING MAY HAVE RUBBED ON IT MAKING THE SHAFT THIN AND BREAKABLE. MOST PEOPLE THAT I HAVE TALKED WITH SAID IT WAS THE HEAT SHIELD. I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT CAUSED MY ISSUES. IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE I BELIEVE MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY KILLED. *TR
