Consumer Description

REAR LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL STARTED HUMMING. CURRENTLY (WITHIN 1000 MILES) IT GOT VERY LOUD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT $3,200 OUT OF POCKET COSTS. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE FORUMS SEEMS LIKE THIS IS VERY COMMON ISSUE AND KNOWN TO MANUFACTURER. THEY SHOULD MAKE NATIONAL RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
