rear differential snapped while driving rear differential snapped while driving rear differential snapped while driving

ON JAN 8TH I WAS HEADING HOME ON UNION ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. A CAR INFRONT OF ME DECIDED TO TURN LEFT SO I HAD TO STOP WHEN I PROCEEDED TO GO AROUND HIM I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND MY JEEP STOPPED DEAD. WHEN I TRYED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, REVERSE, OR NEUTRAL THE JEEP DIDNT MOVE. HAD I HAVE BEEN GOING THE SPEED LIMIT OR GOT ON THE THURWAY IN WHICH WAS 200 FT AWAY WHERE I WAS HEADED TO GO HOME MY JEEP WOULD HAVE FLIPPED FROM THE SUDDEN LOCK UP OF MY WHEELS. I COULD HAVE DIED. THERE WAS NO WARNINGS, NOISES, ECT. IT JUST SNAPPED. NOT ONLY THE 1500 DOLLAR REPAIR THE TECHNICION TOLD ME THAT THERE HAD TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. I WOULD LIKE JEEP TO CONTACT ME 7162009019 ON THIS MATTER I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS THANK YOU SUSAN HEATER
