NHTSA Complaint #11072210 — 2012 DODGE RAM 2500

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 RAM 2500 CUMMINS DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70-75 MPH. THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY MULTIPLE VIOLENT SOUNDS COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE JUST BELOW MY FEET. THE FLOOR BOARD BELOW MY FEET WAS PUSHED UPWARD NEARLY 1 FOOT FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENTS SLAMMING INTO THE CAB UNTIL I COULD GET PULLED OVER. THE DRIVETRAIN NEARLY PENETRATED INTO THE CAB. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE TRUCK THE TRANSFER CASE HAD EXPLODED LEAVING METAL COMPONENTS ALL OVER THE INTERSTATE. THE EXPLOSION HAS CAUSED FROM EARLY ESTIMATES 15-25K IN DAMAGES. THE TRANSFER CASE, TRANSMISSION, DRIVESHAFTS, BRAKE LINES, WIRING HARNESSES, EMISSIONS COMPONENTS AMONG OTHER PARTS ARE COMPLETELY RUINED. THE TRUCK MAY BE TOTALED. THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER ISN'T BEING VERY HELPFUL. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE CASE NEXT TIME.
