 Description of the problemI was leaving work when it happened. I left the driveway and got on the road and once i hit about 35 or so my truck began to seize and popped in the rear. My truck then began to bounce in the back and i had to pull over and get out to see what had happened, and didn't see anything. I was very confused. I started to drive and turn back to the street and it started violently bouncing again so i took it to my mechanic who then helped me figure that the problem was the rear differential. We took it apart and found chunks of metal gears all over the bottom. I had to have it rebuilt for $1800 total. I was very disappointed and confused as to how a rear diff. Could just give out so i looked it up and many others with the same year or close to it had the same problem i had. Some at higher, more dangerous speeds for something that vital to give out. I was shocked to learn about this many people complaining and having the same serious problem with this part that i had and that there has been no recall for it. It shouldn't have to wait for someone to be injured or worse for the problem to be fixed. The truck is barely broken in and i love it which is why i was heartbroken when this happened. I want a recall done to stop this from happening to others and to help those that it's already happened too. I'm very upset this problem is happening to so many and nothing is being done about it. I'm glad i wasn't going at highway speeds like some others that had the same thing happen. I want the whole problem fixed because i heard it has something to do with the driveline as well and if that shatters like the rear diff then i hope i'm as lucky the first time.
