While driving, the driveshaft made a loud noise and broke. When this occurred, the consumer pulled over and called a towing company. The dealership replaced the driveshaft, but it failed again. The drive shaft was replaced three times within three years. The vehicle would make rattling sounds that would get louder and the vehicle became too loud to drive. The service dealer found the center bolt stripped, the sop propeller was replaced for noise, the brake light was on due to 25% left on the pads and the transmission seal was replaced due to leaking.
