| Description of the problem | Transfer case failed the first time around 75,000 miles when i was driving. Suddenly slowed down and hear loud bang noise. Noise continue as i coast the vehicle to a stop. Loud bang noise, and the vehicle would shake. Got it replace $3000. One year later at around 96,000 on 3/26/2012. It happen again. Same exact symptoms. Never buying a nissan ever again. There is a service bulletin about it, so they are aware of the problem but yet they aren't doing anything about it.
