1 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2015

I had bought the car in January 2015 and had the car serviced at Dodge dealer and was told the car (2006 Dodge Magnum sxt) did not have any issues upon a 23 point inspection on 2/7/2015. The car began to leak fluid, I took the vehicle back to the dealer on 2/14/2015 and the leak could not be identified and was told by the dealer that no leaks were present. On the date in question, I was driving between speeds of 30 and 45 as the car was shaking towards the back wheels. After coming to a stop at a light and commencing to drive again, the drive shaft of the car broke off and I stopped the car immediately. Upon reporting this to the dealer I was informed that this does not happen with the doge Magnum and this is an odd occurrence. The car was misdiagnosed twice but more than that I would like to save someone from getting hurt as this could a very dangerous situation had the car been operating at higher speeds as the drive train separated from the differential with great force.
