VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
07/14/2012500001
 I was driving vehicle at 55 mph along undivided 2 lane highway. differential began to make whining noise and then within 1-2 minutes the rear differential locked up and the drive shaft yoke broke causing the drive shaft to drop to the ground. due to the speed, vehicle control was difficult while attempting to stop. once stopped, drive shaft yoke was obviously snapped off and passenger side rear tire had melted rubber from being dragged for a few hundred feet when differential locked up. vehicle was taken to deal and after 2 weeks determination was made that something seized in the differential and caused internals to be destroyed. dealer has not mentioned current recalls or investigations. as of now, i have been told that dodge is not making the parts needed and that a minimum of 1 month lead time is expected before parts become available. i am told no loaner vehicle or rental car will be provided. *tr

 I pulled onto a major highway after stopping at a yield sign. the truck reached about 35 mph and suddenly it felt like something was holding the back of the truck and wouldn't let it go any faster. i pushed down on the accelerator but the truck wouldn't go any faster. i took my foot off the accelerator and stepped on the brake and almost came to a complete stop. when i stepped on the accelerator again the truck seemed to be normal. *tr
