| 2008 | POWER TRAIN | OVER ONE YEAR AGO I BEGAN NOTICING A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE COMING FROM REAR END OF VEHICLE DURING STARTING AND STOPPING WHILE TRANSMISSION IS IN FIRST GEAR. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON INTERNET FORUMS AND DISCOVERED NUMEROUS REPORTS OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS. FINALLY PAID TO HAVE LR DEALERSHIP LOOK AT ISSUE ON 15 DEC 2012 AND THEY DETERMINED PROBLEM IS INDEED REAR DIFF. I OPTED TO ATTEMPT A REBUILD THROUGH THEM, AND THEY REPLACED THE PINION BEARING AND SERVICED OTHER PARTS AND FLUIDS. UPON A ROAD TEST THE NOISE STILL PERSISTED AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED ME THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE GEARS THAT COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A LOCK-UP OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, RECOMMENDING A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT. ASIDE FROM THE EXORBITANT COMPOUNDING COSTS TO REBUILD AND NOW REPLACE THE UNIT, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A POTENTIAL SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND LR APPEARS TO BE TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. *TR |
