Consumer Description

viscous unit for AWD dodge journeys has been failing causing a clunking and chunking noise. Causing the car jerk on takeoff or on turns. From what others been having issues with is the same thing. Causing a risk of a crash of the rear differential cracking and breaking free from the car. I had to replace the Rear Axle Bdorc/Viscous Unit on my car already, again from what I read from other owners, they have been having the same issue. and some are worse than others. I fear that it may cause danger to the occupants inside the car and around.
