Description of the problem	Rear differential has been making a grinding noise since day of purchase. Pinion seal has had to be replaced by dealer. The noise and loss of power has become unbearable. Dealer refused to fix under warranty because of unprofessional assesment of axle. Professional repair shop said i was lucky to have made it as long as i did without it locking up and causing me to crash. Still has over 6000 miles left on factory warranty. What good does that do when i live 50 miles from dealer and have to drive home because of an unconcerned, unproffessional and absolutely wrong assessment of my axle ???? Failure was due to premature axle bearing wear. Assessed by a real professional.
