Driving 75mph on interstate, while passing semi trailer, suddenly a loud thump and loss of drive to wheels, lost of power and sudden lost up hill I lost control of vehicle. Semi avoided me, and I was barely able to control body roll but safely brought vehicle to stop of the side of road. Towed to my mechanic, he reported that differential along with prop shaft had failed. He believed this was a recall issue. Dealer in santa fe, nm says no active recall. I have read otherwise and that the issue can occur even after initial recall work done.

What owners say
It started about 2 months ago after I brought my car in for a recall issue I received in the mail regarding the differentials and front drive shaft. I figure it was a good idea to have it fixed as a preventable measure. Shortly after (about 2 weeks) I started noticing "trans prog error" appear on my dashboard display but it would disappear and reappear and figure if the light does not stay on it should not be an issue. Than my car one day while driving on the fast lane of the highway just lost power and displayed to put car in neutral. I had to get the car towed to a repair shop. They told me that it was a sensor and that I should try a transmission fluid change first. That did not help, I continued driving for another 2 weeks with getting stuck in the middle of the highway several times at very dangerous times (ie. After 2am) with close calls, fortunately nothing happened to me but I would like to see that this does not happen to anyone else. I took the car to lr dealership repair and they told me that I needed a new transmission and transfer box among other things that would bring it to a $11-15k job. I find this ridiculous for such an expensive car that was well taken care of with 65,000 miles. I was out of warranty but a transmission should be the life of a car. Please help! I would like to have a recall and/or class action suit to remedy this issue as soon as possible.
