What NHTSA recorded

Composite graphite driveshafts are subject to overheating while idling, which may result in the driveshaft twisting and shortening causing the slip yoke to disconnect from the transmission. Consequence of defect: if the driveshaft disconnects from the transmission the vehicle would become immobile without warning.

Remedy

Install metal driveshaft.
