- Summary
- Some vehicles may exhibit a creak noise from around the rear differential when the clutch is engaged quickly or the vehicle accelerates/decelerates rapidly. This is caused by a stick-slip noise occurring at the contact surface between the power plant frame (ppf) (a) and the rear differential. To eliminate this concern, the tightening torque of the stud bolts and nuts has been increased.
Owners of these vehicles have filed 11 complaints in the transmission category.
