The vent for the rear differential clogged and a back up of pressure pushed the seals on the axle causing extensive damage to the axle and brakes. I do not drive off road or submerge the drive train.

Brake rotors have developed severe rust along brake pad surface. Not superficial rust. The surface is "pitted" with rust. Vehicle has 17000 miles. All 4 rotors require "turning" or replacement way too early. This confirmed by two reliable mechanics. *tr
