POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS A MAJOR OVERHAUL AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND. IT WAS REPLACED AT 21000 MILES AND NOW, LESS THAN 40000 MILES LATER IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACED THE MANUFACTURE AND THEY REFUSE ACKNOWLEDGE ANY TYPE OF DESIGN PROBLEM. SINCE I HAVE EXCEEDED THE MFG WARRANTY, THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME. I RESEARCHED IN NHTSA AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS IS BECOMING COSTLY.*AK
