2 Differential Unit problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2020

Car began losing power when accelerating and shuttering before finally catching gear and moving. Car would also exhibit a "whining or whirling" noise when accelerating. Eventually the car began vibrating from the back end at approximately 60 mph. Took car to abc Nissan in phoenix and they diagnosed with failing rear differential. Was advised to contact Nissan customer care as car was 4 years old and 70,000 miles. Customer care dragged out a "nothing we can do for you" response" for nearly 1 month. This is a very dangerous problem when turning into traffic as intermittently, the car will not accelerate when making a turn. I am worried now that the notorious cvt transmission will go out next.
