Driveshaft problems of the 2016 Dodge Charger

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for an oil change and when the mechanic inspected the vehicle, he noticed that the universal driveshaft was corroded and needed to be replaced. The mechanic referred the contact to the manufacturer to see if the VIN was under recall. The contact notified the manufacturer of the issue and was informed that there was no recall on the vehicle. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle would be repaired under warranty. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer who replaced the driveshaft on the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000. The VIN was not available.

The entire driveshaft of the vehicle become extremely loose. The entire driveshaft had to be replaced as it was completely unsafe to drive with the shaft being as loose as it was. I was informed if the driveshaft separated while driving at highway speeds, it could very likely lead to loss of control and be fatal.

This car has been nothing but problems and a nightmare. While driving around 30 and over the car jerks and shifts when I am coming to a stop and or pressing on gas to increase speed. I had some similar issues in 2019 and reported them to the dealership westherr orchard park. Westherr claims it was issues with the drive shafts, gasket, engine oil filter adaptor housing, drivetrain control module and axles. Most of all of these repairs have been done by them and where not fixed correctly and with defective products and parts.

One day when I was driving, I heard a really loud sound coming from my car that hurt my ears so I drove back home under 5 miles per hour because whatever was hitting under the hood of my car was way too loud. As I was parking in my spot at home, my car shut off completely. Couldn't even put it in park and said to check engine. I ended up having to get my car towed to lithia of Dodge to look at it to see whats wrong because I couldnt even turn my car back on at all or do anything with it it was undriveable. I was told the driveshaft broke and slammed against the engine, transmission, anything basically connected to the driveshaft was damaged. They didn't total it out and told me to call my insurance but then they sent me elsewhere too and for 6 months I could not get anything worked out. Come to find out, there was a safety recall on 2016 Dodge Chargers for one of the reasons being the driveshaft not being tightened enough when made or something that it broke and could potentially lead to an accident that could cause injuries! I am lucky that I did not get in an accident or hurt because it happened when I was driving. It said that the recall was completed but of it was, it shouldnt have broke on my car. I stopped paying my loan and everything because no one was totalling it out or sending me to someone who could help so now my car is repossessed and says I still owe on it which I feel is wrong and I shouldnt have the repossession or be having to pay anything on it.
