NHTSA Complaint #11119287 — 2017 RAM 1500

LAST WEEK ON MY WAY HOME FROM A LONG DAY OF WORK I WAS DRIVING ON I15 IN LAS VEGAS NV. AS I WAS DRIVING ROUGHLY AROUND 75MPH I STARTED TO HEAR A CLICKING NOISE THEN I HEARD A LOUDER BANG LIKE SOMETHING BROKE, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK SO I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL TO THE SIDE. WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO INTO PARKING I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND IT IT CONTINUES TO ROLL SO I PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BREAK. I GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND MY DRIVE SHAFT WAS BROKEN IN HALF. THE NEXT MORNING THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A RAM DEALER AND THE ISSUE WAS BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD HAPPEND AGAIN BECAUSE THAT IS A COMMON ISSUED WITH RAM 1500 SINGLE CABS WITH 3:92 GEARS AND 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. IF RAM AND CHRYSLER ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WHY NOT FIXED IT. I'M SCARED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AS I WAS TOLD AND AT THAT TIME I WILL NOT HAVE FACTORY WARRANTY AND WILL COST ME A LOT OF MONEY IN ORDER TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY THE AUTOMAKERS
