Description of the problem | Vehicle has "growling" noise coming from front differential. Noise is also associated with vibration in steering and affects stopping and acceleration as faulty parts bind in gearing. This faulty equipment has occasionally locked one wheel while turning, forcing vehicle weight to one side. In wet road conditions vehicle has slid while cornering. Manufacturer is aware of this issue, as several owners report the same issue. Differential is replaced as a last resort by the manufacturer and only covers this faulty part(s) under the factory warranty. *js |
