| Description of the problem | i am writing this because i received a recall (n26) for my 2006 jeep commander. I took my car in to get the recall fixed to huntington beach jeep off beach blvd. On nov. 7th 2013 and they did the service, but ever since they "fixed" the recall my car has now been saying ? Service 4wd? And not shifting into 4wd. I took the car back into huntington beach jeep on jan 7th 2014 and i thought it could be an easy fix but i got a call saying it could be the ? Main transfer case? And once that is fixed it could also be the front and/or rear transfer cases as well. They recommended i start off with replacing the main transfer case and then go from there which would cost me around $800+. So since all my car needs all these parts replaced, i started becoming very concerned and i just don? T understand how these parts could ware out or brake when just about a month ago during inspection hb jeep passed all these transfer case parts with a green (excellent) service review. How could in one month all these parts break when i couldn? T even use my 4wd, and its frustrating because my 4wd was working fine before i took it in to get this recall update and now all these problems seem to be appearing. Last but not least i know with my car being a 2006 its anything but new but i probably use my 4wd a hand-full of times a year and to think that these parts are worn out or broken just seems very unusual. I spent sometime online researching to see if anyone else has had this ? N26 recall issue? And there is thousands of people who are having this same situation. I? M writing this e-mail hoping that someone can please help me and everyone else having this ? N26 recall issue? Problem get settled. I am just a 23 year old college student and to hear that all of a sudden your car needs hundreds of dollars invested in it when it was working fine before i took it in to this recall is just frustrating. |
