While proceeding to enter the highway, the driver heard a loud bang. The vehicle started to lose power. Took vehicle to mechanic, and he said that the bolts sheared off the from driveshaft to the transmission. The transmission, driveshaft, and the cv joints were replaced due to the incident. The vehicle started to have problems again with the front brakes, where the rotors were replaced again. (the problem returned again)
