First the drive shaft broke in half while going down thew road. then a year later the 8 speed auto transmission blew up the output bearing and had to replace the tranny. been one yer now and something is whining like road noise and I think its the tranny again. all because of the poor design of that drive shaft as far as I can tell. are there others who have this problem.
