| I was at a stop light and when the light turn green i was about to go when i heard a loud bang and the side air bags deployed. my truck never moved.the drive shaft completly broke in half ,it looks like when i was about to take off the drive shaft broke , shot up and hit the floor board and that caused the air bags to deploy. the drive shaft looks like it twisted. i havent fixed the vehicle yet and im hoping dodge will cover the expenses. luckily i wasnt in the highway because it could have caused my truck to flip. | |||

| I was taking a left turn at an intersection traveling approximately 5mph. at the completion of the turn i heard a loud bang and the side impact airbags deployed. upon inspecting the vehicle it was found that the drive shaft had twisted and fallen out of the transmission. the casing along the top of the nitro cracked, and caused damage to the interior headliner and windshield. the car would not go into drive or park indicating damage to the transmission as well. upon inspection by two separate body shops (one being a dealership) it was determined that there was damage to the drive shaft that resulted in the incident. at this time the warranty is in the process of replacing the drive shaft. | |||
