Consumer Description

I WAS ON MY WAY TO A CAR SHOW AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. AS I CONTINUED ON AT ABOUT 3/4 THROTTLE O WAS SHIFTING GEARS AS I WENT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR I HEARD AND FELT A LOUD BANG ON BOTTOM OF CAR. I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND PULLED OVER. I PICKED UP THE PARTS FROM THE ROAD. AFTER HAVING CAR TOWED TO A FRIEND'S SHOP WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT ON A LIFT AND SEE THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD EXPLODED AT THE MID POINT. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION WE FOUND THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLES HAD BET COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THE DRIVE SHAFT THAT WAS LEFT ATTACHED TO TRANSMISSION HAD RIPPED INTO THE TUNNEL OF THE CAR. I COULD SEE THE CARPET AND PLASTIC TO CENTER CONSOLE THROUGH THIS HOLE.
