Hi,
I have a 2013 Wrangler Unlimited with 52k miles. I started hearing some grinding noise, had a mechanic replace brakes and rotors which were down to the metal. When he took off my tire, he noticed seal on axel of my rear wheel was leaking. He took off hatch on axel to get in and saw the gears missing chunks of metal. I bought the Jeep brand new and low mileage. I took it to the dealership and of course my warranty expired 2 weeks ago. . Mechanic gave me a quote for rebuilt rear differential parts and labor $2,200. Does that sound reasonable? I’ve only taken my Jeep camping, Tahoe for snowboarding and Yosemite in the snow. No crazy 4x4ing. Seems weird for all that to break.
Thank you,
Bea
