Rear differential making loud whining sound. Used metal conditioner hoping to solve the issue. Still under observation. Update: the metal conditioner didn't help. Apparently what happened was the rear diff oil seal worn off causing oil from ayc mixed with rear diff oil.  Installed new (reconditioned) rear differential.

no repair done... Somehow, Driver side Fender either got loose or moved a tiny bit towards the door. Whenever I open the driver side front door, it rubs against a small piece of the fender, causing a squeak and a loss of paint where the door is rubbing.

Check Engine Light and car jerks and hesitates when pressing gas at low speeds below 15 mph. O2 sensor code. Bank 1 sensor 3. Replaced one sensor and fuel injectors, but did not resolve the issue. Will be taking to mechanic next month. Car started shaking when accelerating. Turned out to be a cylinder misfire. Mechanic replaced all spark plugs and one coil.
