Consumer Description

VEHICLE MADE A PROGRESSIVE NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VAN. IF SOUNDED LIKE OVERSIZED MUD TIRES WERE ON THE VEHICLE. BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY. THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW BY MYSELF AND ONLY HAS 22,508 MILES ON IT.. AT THE SAME TIME THE AIR COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. THIS WAS ALSO REPLACED. THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS EARLY ON A NEW VEHICLE. *TR
