Description of the problem	While driving at 25 - 30 mph a loud noise sounded from under the car. A repetitive banging sound then occurred. I pulled over to inspect the car but found no damage or anything unusual. When pulling away all was quiet but i then heard the sound of metal grinding noises and a short while later the wheels suddenly locked up. A similar event happened at 24,000 miles and this time at 48,500 miles. Both times the service department stated it was rear differential failure. The first time occurred driving straight on a rural road and the second while going around a slight bend on a rural road. The wheels locking up suddenly on the second differential failure occurred while going down hill on a straight road traveling at less than ten miles per hour while trying to get to a safe location to pull over. I traveled less than 1 mile from when the initial noise was heard. It was raining and the vehicle slid slightly sideways when the wheels locked up. Had i been driving faster an accident likely would have occurred.
