Consumer Description

MY WIFE AND I WERE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN VIBRATION THEN A LOUD BANG, AND THERE WAS SOMETHING HITTING UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT WAS MISSING AND MOST OF THE TRANSFER CASE. I WENT BACK AND CLEANED ALL THE STUFF OFF THE ROAD. ALSO AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING FROM THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT HITTING IT AND THE BRAKE LINES AND OTHER LINES AND HOSES IN THE VICINITY WERE DESTROYED.THE INS CO. WOULD NOT COVER IT AND THE REPAIR BILL WAS IN EXCESS OF 10,000.
