Consumer Description

THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT AND DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY LOCKED UP CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND SMOKE FROM OIL COMING FROM THE BUSTED SEAL . LUCKILY THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO STOP IMMEDIATELY ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. THIS IS VERY UNCOMMON ACCORDING TO 2 DEALERS AND 3 REPAIR GARAGES, OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART. THERE HAD BEEN NO LEAKAGE IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS OR SHAKING/SWAYING WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED CHECKED AND THERE HAS BEEN A BACK ORDER ON THIS PART FROM DODGE FOR THE PAST 3-4 MONTHS SO THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. WE WERE LUCKY THIS DEFECTIVE PART DID NOT CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY SAID THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED, BUT REITERATED THIS WAS VERY UNCOMMON. *TR
