Component | POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE) |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The vehicle has a hesitation on acceleration. It vibrates while on the expressway. The check engine light comes on intermittently while traveling at high speeds. Most recently, the transfer case seized up and the front wheels locked up while i was turning and i almost crashed. It is now in the shop getting the transfer case replaced and i'm told there are even more problems with the transmission. Please advise me on what to do so the company can possibly buy this vehicle back from me. *jb |
