What owners wrote
As I started up from a stop at a light I felt a clunking in the front end. I started to increase speed and attempted to make a sudden turn to avoid an obstacle in the road. The front end froze up.
Oct. 5, 2007 at 8am- my family and I were riding on I-94w, 100 miles from home, at approx. 65MPH, and there was a grinding noise. Then suddenly the vehicle lost power. Luckily we made it partially to the side of the road. Vehicle was immediately towed by state tow, because location of vehicle was unsafe, to the nearest dealer 20 min away. Because I was at 56k miles dealer required me to pay for rental. Two days later on monday, diagnosis was front differential failure.
