I have a 2008 chrysler pacific that has been in the shop on and of for about 2 months. They fixed the dry shaft first and I drove it for 2 days and had to take it back. They then fixed it again and I got it back, a week later it broke down on the side of the road. Towed it to the dealer they fixed it and a week after I was broke down again, with the same problem. The dealer says they don't no why it keep breaking. They now have took the complete rear apart and found nothing. Yet instill I am paying a car note with no car to drive. And they cant seem to fix it. What is one to do?

You could actually feel the bump in the steering wheel at initial acceleration as the motor mounts continued to get worse. Generated a very metallic noise in the transmission as well. Motor mounts had to be replaced. It's hard to tell what residual effects this will have on the vehicle since this has affected the overall alignment of the transmission, steering etc. I've spoken with other owners this has happened to. Apparently, this has been going on since the inception of the car model, 04-05.
