Consumer Description

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT THE LUBRICANT LEAKED OUT. I UNDERSTAND TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS A COMMON PROBLEM ALONG WITH THE FRAME RUSTING. IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE OIL PUDDLE ON THE GROUND I WOULD HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEARS SEIZED. NEED I SAY MORE? IF THE REAR END BECAME INOPERABLE THIS VEHICLE WOULD GO OUT OF CONTROL. *TR
