Consumer Description

THE HEAT SHIELDING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE DISLODGED IN A FEW PLACES CAUSING IT TO RUB AGAINST THE DRIVE SHAFT. IT WASN'T LOUD SO I DIDN'T NOTICE IT UNTIL I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND MY DRIVE SHAFT BROKE IN 2 PIECES. I BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING PLACE AND WHEN I SHIFTED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, IT SNAPPED. THIS WAS RECALLED ON CERTAIN 2007-2008 DODGE NITROS, BUT NOT ON THE 2011. HAD I BEEN IN MOTION AND NOT AT A STAND STILL, IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD.
