Description of the problem	I was driving down the road to go play golf when i noticed an odd sound from the rear end of my 2005 grand limited w/hemi. On the way home i noticed the sound was in all gears and all speeds but much more notable at low speeds. I drove it to the dealership as soon as possible and took a mechanic for a ride and he thought the noise was a bad pinion bearing. After closer inspection they determined the whole rear end of the car needed to be rebuild. 15,000 miles and i need a new rear end? For a $42,000 suv this sure is not what i expected. So now i am out of my car for a week to two weeks while they get the parts and rebuild. So now i have a new "rebuilt" suv for the same payments... Doesn't seem right at 15,000 miles. Rkm. *nm
