| Description of the problem | Pulling away from a stop sign a loud bang was heard and all forward propulsion was gone. I was able to drift to a safe location but the car would not hold in park it was later found that the splines in the ptu had striped and the transfer case would need replacing. Chrysler knew this could happen and issued a recall that included telling the computer to engage the 4 wheel drive low to engage for forward movement and to engage the parking brake to hold the car when stopped. This is a band-aid. They refuse to repair what they themselves discovered was a design flaw. Ref. Odi# 11340866 |
