What owners wrote
1st time/rear differential leak over 1-1/2 quarts of rear diff.gear oil all over driveway. Dealer replaced with complete new rear housing assy. 571 miles later, which was 05-20-02 rear diff. Leaking again. Car is at dealer, and I called general motors, they are looking into the problem. I don't want the car back. Calif. Has lemon law 2 times for same repair, which could cause bodily harm or death we are to get another car. If the rear end locks up at 65 MPH and I live thru it there will be a major law suit.
