broken rear axle

Complaint Photos

I was driving on the highway, 60MPH and I felt like I was hydroplaning, as it just began to rain. I slowed down to 45 MPH and still was feeling like I was loosing control of the vehicle. As I slowed down to 20MPH, it got worse, almost hitting the car next to me. I pulled off the road, as I thought I had a flat tire. Left rear tire was crooked and I then discovered the axle was broken. This should be a recall, as it's a severe safety issue.
