I was driving 40 MPH (normally 55 as it is a downtown corridor) down a main highway in my area, where there was on-going road construction and felt a slight "shimmy" and then a drifting, similar to hydroplaning. I exited off the highway, onto my pre-planned exit and drove another mile or so. I was then going around a traffic circle (in a bearing curve to the left), at approximately 15-20 MPH, and began to feel a hard "shimmy". Within seconds, it progressed to a lurching and shaking...as I watched my rear drivers-side wheel and tire spin around in the road/traffic circle behind me. I pulled to the side of the road and discovered that the rear drivers side of my truck was sitting on the rotor. The tire was approx 25-30 feet behind me, and all 5 lugs were found at the location that I entered the traffic circle.

Severe noise in rear pinion area, possible damage to rear differential; from previous problem when rear pinion nut backed off causing rear pinion flange & drive line to fall out of the rear end. This occurred less than 300 miles after incident associated with conformation number 10763197. As well as I forgot to mention this at the time of filing the other incident, when in the middle of the road I was unable to move the vehicle forward due to a locked differential, we had to push the vehicle in reverse to get it safely off the side of the road, if I hadn't of had help I wouldn't have been able to move the vehicle safely to a safe location to wait until road side assistance arrived. I had complete loss of controlling the acceleration speed of the vehicle. The same part issues were associated with prior and latter year recalls, 13v038000, 14v796000. I was lucky with my son to have not been on the freeway if the drive shaft had fallen out at faster speeds, it could have caused a bad crash to my vehicle, or another person who would have been behind me in the same lane due to a loose drive shaft.
