Driveshaft disconnected while traveling at highway speed of 75 mph, causing damages to transmisson and engine block. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was out of its warranty, and nothing would be done. Consumer complained not about warranty, but damage of driveshaft at less then 19,000 miles of wear. Asking for NHTSA to look into this matter. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
