Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW ON 1/08/05. THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A HOWLING NOISE AFTER SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES, GM TECH'S INDICATED THAT IT WAS COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE ORIGINAL REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED AT 3220 (7/1/05) MILES DUE TO INTERNAL FAILURE OF DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY. THE HOWLING NOISE OCCURRED AGAIN AT 5.565 ( 12/08/05) MILES. AGAIN, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED AND THE REPAIR ORDER NOTED THAT IT WAS ALSO LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. I CONTACTED SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF CAR AND THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A RE-OCCURRING PROBLEM DUE TO A UNDER RATED DIFFERENTIAL. *JB
