Just towed
 

Well, just had my Stang towed to the dealer. I had just taken it out for a brief drive down the highway when I heard a whining sound out of the rear end and then a brief "pop". Then it seemed to cruise on as normal until I downshifted, then heard another odd sound. Although it didn't feel like it, it sounded like a blown tire. When I pulled over, I checked the tires and everything was fine, then I saw the liquid, draining like a faucet out of the rear differential area. Not sure what would cause this on a vehicle that has 7700 miles on it, but I guess I'm soon to find out.

suxxxxxxxx. Well at least it's under warranty

Yeah....let's hope I don't get any hassle from them on that!

Oh my! Let me know if you need me, 2010BLKSTANG.

Thanks! Sounds like they are ordering parts and fixing it. Blows my mind that something would happen like this. I have a sort video on my iPhone, if I can figure out how to post it on here, I will.

I can't even imagine it, 2010BLKSTANG. I'm happy to learn your dealer is working with you on this. Again, if you need me, let me know.;)

Well, new ring, pinion and carrier are in. Sadly, when installing this the found out it needed a new Axle Housing as well. All this was supposedly caused by a loose nut from the factory. Pretty upsetting having this happen, especially to a car with 7700 miles on it.:(

While its not something you want to hear or will like, it is a mechanical device. Things will happen. If a bolt wasn't tight from the factory and it backed out, it would get between that ring and pinion and just cause all kinda H_ell. I'm sure it'll be good as new in no time.
