THEY REPLACED THE SEAT BELT THAT NIGHT. 5/4/2015, DRIVING HOME THE REAL DIFFERENTIAL FAILED (MILES 48806) BOTH FRONT AND REAR WERE LEAKING. I WAS DRIVING AT RATE 50 MPH. THE CHAIN OF EVENTS OF THE FAILURE AFFECTED THE FLANGE AND YOLK OFF THE DRIVE SHAFT. I TOOK IT BACK TO EAST HILLS CHRYSLER. THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY COVERED THIS REPAIR HOWEVER, DURING THE FAILURE, I COULD NOT SHIFT TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, I HAD A LOT OF VIBRATION IN ON THE MANUAL STICK. I EXPRESSIVELY ASKED THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE CLUTCH, GEAR BOX AND TRANSMISSION FOR DAMAGE AS A RESULT FROM THE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD.

THE NOISE WAS AND IS THE THROUGH OUT BEARING. APPOINTMENT DATE 6/2/2015. THE CAR WAS THERE FOR 2 WEEKS. RESULT, THE TECH SAID THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. THE CLUTCH WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE COULD NO GUARANTEE, THE NOISE WOULD GO AWAY. AGAIN I EXPLAINED IT THE CLUTCH DAMAGE WAS AS A RESULT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL FAILING.
