While driving down the road the rear differential internally exploded , losing control of the vehicle luckily I didn't hit anything. It's been at the dealer for over a week and I can't get a hold of anyone. Going 60MPH and a loud bang. Got pulled over and looked under car. Differential pump housing was split in two with no signs of any external damage. Still at the dealer. ...updated 06/13/17 ...updated 08/29/17 ....updated 06/21/17 the consumer stated after the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred.
I was traveling to work on a busy, 3-lane road. I was in the far-right lane sitting at a red light, waiting to continue straight. When the light turned green, my car just shut off and the display informed me to put my car in p (park) and then back into the desired gear. I put my flashers on and coasted into the closest parking lot of the right side of the road, where I turned my car off and then started it back up again. After restarting the car, there seemed to be no further problems.
