My vibe started making some noise from ther rear differential this morning. I'm bringing it in tomorrow to get serviced. Hopefully, it's nothing major. My Bumper-to-Bumper warranty just expired last week, but luckily I do have an extended warranty. It has a deductable though.

Hmmm...good luck with that!

BCHope its not to seriouslet us know.might squeeze the bumper to bumper since it was so close

if you have gotten most of your services done by the same dealer they usually would extend you the courtesy of covering it under warranty.Keep us posted B.

Good News. The rear diff has some minor wear but nothing major according to the dealer. They changed the rear diff fluid(?) and the noise is gone. They said the fluid looked a little low and may have contributed to creating the noise. (It was kind of a "whurring" noise, btw) There were no leaks either. So, now I'm good to go.

same noise i had! of course, instead of fixing mine, i ditched it out of paranoia and got the maxx!

Good to hear all is well!

Good news!

Glad to Hear it B... I am currently shopping to change out my rear diff fluid.. I hit 16,000 already...

Great news and reasuring!!I may need to check mine out. I had the rear fluid replaced about 10K miles ago.I'm now in a place where i can do it myself.

Thanks, guys. I am very glad it was only a matter of getting the fluid changed.
