Consumer Description

WE HAVE THIS ROARING NOISE IN THE REAR END WHICH IS SO LOUD YOU CAN'T HEAR THE RADIO IF IT'S ON ALL THE WAY. ALSO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE SURGING AT HIGH SPEEDS OR GOING UP A HILL. ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT HOME THE LAST TIME WE DROVE IT 40 MILES AWAY. SINCE MY HUSBAND HAS A HEART CONDITION WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT ANY MORE. AFTER READING THE LETTERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS REAR END NOISE FIXED AND IT COMES BACK NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. *NM
