2 Differential Unit problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2009

Front differential started making a very loud noise. It became even louder in 4-wheel drive. While in 4-wheel drive the vehicle didn't feel right. I brought to the dealer who stated water got into the differential, and it had to be rebuilt. This is the 3rd time I have had an issue with the front differential. All 3 times, including this one, was due to the failure of the pinion seal. The first repair on 11/06/09 was covered under gms manufacturers factory warranty. The next 2 repairs, including this one, cost me a total of $1,435. 49. I can only wonder how dangerous it was driving around in 4 wheel drive with a differential that was ready to catastrophically fail?.
