Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Recently began hearing a noise from the rear when driving. Thought it might be from the rear alignment causing the tire tread to make this sound. Driving faster the noise would get louder. Took to my mechanic for alignment and they said it was the rear differential going out. The bearings were making the loud noise. The vehicle only has 70,400 miles and is driven 10 miles a day and never off road. Looked for any recall notice I may have missed and then discovered this same situation from several others. I entered my VIN to check for any recalls and there are none! …”

NHTSA complaint #11390556, filed 2021-01, 70,400 miles

“Noticed a loud noise from rear of vehicle while driving. The greater the speed the louder the noise. Dealer inspection confirmed rear differential failing and needs replacement. Vehicle has 38,000 miles and still has the original factory tires. Rear differential failing before original tires are wore out! Potential total failure of rear differential during operation a real safety concern.”
