NHTSA Complaint #10691543 — 2006 DODGE MAGNUM

I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY 2015 AND HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CAR (2006 DODGE MAGNUM SXT) DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES UPON A 23 POINT INSPECTION ON 2/7/2015. THE CAR BEGAN TO LEAK FLUID, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON 2/14/2015 AND THE LEAK COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT NO LEAKS WERE PRESENT. ON THE DATE IN QUESTION, I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 30 AND 45 AS THE CAR WAS SHAKING TOWARDS THE BACK WHEELS. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND COMMENCING TO DRIVE AGAIN, THE DRIVE SHAFT OF THE CAR BROKE OFF AND I STOPPED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. UPON REPORTING THIS TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH THE DODGE MAGNUM AND THIS IS AN ODD OCCURRENCE. THE CAR WAS MISDIAGNOSED TWICE BUT MORE THAN THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAVE SOMEONE FROM GETTING HURT AS THIS COULD A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAD THE CAR BEEN OPERATING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS THE DRIVE TRAIN SEPARATED FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL WITH GREAT FORCE. *TR
