STS

  • 62,000 miles
Daughter driving on concrete hi-way at 50 mph., hears noise by passenger side rear tire area. Rear end locks as if brakes were applied but were not. Car slides out-of-control. Her and her passengers are not injured. Had to shift car from forward to reverse 2-3 times, car makes clunk noise, then it frees itself she drives out of ditch. Not sure what happened they drive at lower speed cars rear end locks again for 2-3 seconds then frees itself but makes grinding noises.take to gmac service center told rear differential failed.
