2 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2016

My drive shaft is coming apart, I understand this is one of over 100 recently having this same problem. The Jeep is unsafe to drive (vibration and knocking sounds) and the delivery time on the replacement is 3 months. Jeep are suggesting the vehicle is safe to drive while waiting for the part and therefore not providing temporary transportation until the new part comes in.
