NHTSA complaint: 2010 RAM 2500 — POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING WEST IN ROAD TX-375-LOOP HEADING THE I10, I TOOK AN EXIT FOR I10 EAST WHICH IS A BRIDGE. I TOOK IT AND THEN I HEARD A SOUND ON THE REAR WHEELS SO I SLOWED DOWN, AFTER THAT THE SOUND STOPPED AND I CONTINUED TO INCORPORATE TO I10-EAST. AFTER I TOOK THE I10 I WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY I HEARD THE SOUND AGAIN BUT THIS TIME AFTER A FEW SECOND A DIFFERENT SOUND APPEARED AND THE REAR WHEELS STOPPED RESULTING IN COMPLETELY LOST OF CONTROL. MY VEHICLE STARTED TO GO WITH NO DIRECTION AND THAN TOOK ME OUT OF THE HIGHWAY, ONCE I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE VEHICLE MAKE A 180 DEGREES TURN AND I STOPPED HEADING WRONG WAY. I WAS SO LUCKY BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME TRAFFIC SIGNS AND I DIDN'T CRASH ANY OF THEM AND ALSO BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THAT HIGHWAY IS ALWAYS FULL WITH TRAFFIC I DIDN'T CRASH WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. ONCE I TOOK A LOOK OF MY TRUCK I SAW THAT THE DRIVESHAFT WAS SEPARATED FROM THE REAR AXEL. I DIDN'T FILLED A CLAIM BEFORE BECAUSE CHRYSLER TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO FIX IT SINCE THAT INCIDENT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF A RECALL THEY DIDN'T FIX BEFORE. THE RECALL NUMBER IS M34 AND ITS BEEN 3 MONTHS AND AFTER I COULD HAVE DIED IN THAT ACCIDENT THEY HAVEN'T HELPED ME AT ALL. MY VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER WONT AUTHORIZE TO FIX IT. *TR
