Consumer Description

THERE IS A NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE AND BACK. THERE IS A GROWL COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHEN THE DIFFERENTIAL IS WARMED UP AND A TURN IS MADE AT ANY SPEED. ACCORDING TO A MECHANIC, ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE DUE TO DRIVE/POWER TRAIN LOOSENESS. WHILE THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT YET, IT APPEARS THAT ONE IS LIKELY.
