About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Out of nowhere the rear end of the vehicle started making these loud, roaring and humming noises that eventually turned into a grinding noise. First thought the problem was the brakes; inner & outer brakes as well as the rotors were replaced with no changes, noises still continue. After that; all 4 tires were replaced with a full alignment, nothing seemed to help the noises at all. After further research of this problem; it seems there has been an issue with the rear end differential on this make/model vehicle for the last 5 years, that the manufacturer is highly aware of. I'm a mother of small children and my main concern is their safety in this matter; if this problem is allowed to continue, it could end up with the rear wheels locking up. This issue is very serious; better yet, very dangerous and needs further investigation.
