My vehicle began to make a knocking noise in the rear when turning. I took the car in to be assessed and was sold a new set of rear shock-absorbers. It was immediately evident that the problem was not resolved, so I took the vehicle back to the dealer service department. They found that the rear differential was failing and shards of metal had broken off. The vehicle was repaired under warranty. The failure occurred at about 50000 miles.
