Description of the problem	Driving down the freeway the truck became harder to steer and it felt like it was in 4 wheel drive. The indicator light did not show that it was. A little farther and the transfer case fell out on the freeway. About 3 weeks previous i also had the same feeling of it being hard to turn like it was in 4 wheel after i started it up, but it went right away. I was on vacation and had to have it towed 75 miles to dealership. They have said they don't know how this could happen,unless there was no fluid in the transfer case or it got put into reverse. Neither was the case. I was going down the freeway at 65 miles per hour and there was fluid all over the road after i got it pulled over. I have two tow truck drivers who can verify that. I feel that it went into 4 wheel drive mode on it's own and am lucky to be alive. I just had to have the whole computer system replaced about six months ago on this same vehicle and feel that i have an unsafe and dangerous vehicle. The resolution is a bill for $4028. I do have the old parts.
