Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In the lincoln aviator, a loud whining noise is coming from the rear end of the car. it appears to be a rear differential problem. in the front seat the noise is pretty loud but can be overcome by turning the radio up real loud. in the rear seats the noise is more intense. i have read many complaints about this problem. a simple search on edmunds, google, deja news, etc. shows that this problem has been around a while and ford motor company refuses to correct the issue. the dealership says it is a known problem without a fix and that i should just live with the problem. i am going to pursue legal action under the lemon law to try and correct the situation. *la
