Differential Unit Problems of Chevrolet Camaro

Vehicle was two months old with approximately 1,800 miles and the rear differential began having gear whine. Dealer told me to drive it more and see what happens. Gear whine got louder and posi unit clutches began chattering. This resulted in the rear differential being replaced at 6,000 miles. The replacement differential lasted about 2,000 miles and began chattering, so another differential was installed in the vehicle. So with 8,000 miles, I've had two differentials replaced due to internal problems. The noise was heard when temps got down in the 50's and turning left.

Grinding sound out of the rear differential. It has been back to the dealership 4 times for the same issues. Has been replaced once and it still has the same grinding noise.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated upon starting the ignition the engine warning light illuminated continuously. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they detected the rear differential was severely damaged as a result to excessive metal fragments in the gear box oil. The vehicle was repaired for the engine warning indicator and the gear box oil was replaced. The engine warning indicator malfunction persisted after the repair. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer three to four times for the engine warning failure and unknown repairs related to the rear differential. The other repairs performed consisted of the replacement of the rear differential bearings and, rear passenger side wheel hub. An inspector diagnosed the vehicle which there was no resolution. After the most recent repairs were performed, the contact was driving and a loud rattling noise emitted from the transmission with multiple engine misfires. The vehicle suddenly stalled and was towed to the dealer who detected the rear differential housing was leaking. In addition, there was damage to the cam-shaft and cylinders. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defects. The approximate failure mileage was 3,608.

Rear torsion differential pops/creaks/knocks/ticks . . . Dealer says it is normal. Torsen (manufacturer of unit) says diferential. Is floating in the housing. Rear diff. Needs to be repaired/replaced. Dealer refuses stating noise is normal.

Noticed rearend noise at highway speeds. Turned vehicle into dealership for repair. Bad pinon seal was cause of rearend to leak fluid. Was replaced under warranty. Same problem has occured now 5 times in the last 14 months. Twice the entire rearend had to be rebuilt with new gears, bearings, and seals. Again all 5 causes were the pinon seal leaking and causing loss of fluid in the rearend. Rearend must have a manufactuer defect to cause 5 pinon seals to leak in less than 14 months and only 8,000 miles.
