Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TO GO PLAY GOLF WHEN I NOTICED AN ODD SOUND FROM THE REAR END OF MY 2005 GRAND LIMITED W/HEMI. ON THE WAY HOME I NOTICED THE SOUND WAS IN ALL GEARS AND ALL SPEEDS BUT MUCH MORE NOTABLE AT LOW SPEEDS. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND TOOK A MECHANIC FOR A RIDE AND HE THOUGHT THE NOISE WAS A BAD PINION BEARING. AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION THEY DETERMINED THE WHOLE REAR END OF THE CAR NEEDED TO BE REBUILD. 15,000 MILES AND I NEED A NEW REAR END? FOR A $42,000 SUV THIS SURE IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. SO NOW I AM OUT OF MY CAR FOR A WEEK TO TWO WEEKS WHILE THEY GET THE PARTS AND REBUILD. SO NOW I HAVE A NEW "REBUILT" SUV FOR THE SAME PAYMENTS...DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AT 15,000 MILES. RKM. *NM
