Vehicle looses all forward drive when drive shaft and differential spines sheer off. This has been reported on the internet by a large population of owners of this vehicle. I was traveling in heavy traffic on I-75 North at the I-75 and I-10 interchange when without any warning the shaft failed leaving me without the abiliy to do anything other than stop. I was nearly hit by a tractor trailor as I was on an up hill grade and was not able to get completely off the express way before the vehicle came to a stop. The vehicle's park selector on the shifter was inoperative and the vehicle could only be held in place using the parking brake. The dealer said this was a common problem and that a retorfit was in the works and would be available within 30 days. The dealer had to install an original part which according to him does not contain the re-engineered fix. This leaves me out $3,000 and with a part I know will fail again in the future without notice.

A couple of months ago my vehicle just stopped on bw parkway. I had been hearing a grinding noise but thought it was my tires. I went to my mechanic who told me it was the driving shaft. He replaced a part that cost me $1200 alone. Now I am experiencing that same grinding noise especially if I go over 40 miles per hour. I have a feeling that it is the same issue again which is why my frustration has led me into doing some research on possible recalls. It appears that this is a common problem with my vehicle.
