Are you saying that if the transmission and rear wheel locks up while doing 80mph down the interstate, it can throw the driver out of control, possibly causing severe injury or even death?
 You learn something new every day. I just hope no one has been hurt.

All of mine are too old for recalls. Yep a lockup can be a very distressing if not painful experiance.
