CONTACED DEALERSHIP, WERE VERY DIFFICULT SAID NOT TRANSFER CASE SAID IT WAS CLUTCH, WAS REQUIRED TO PAY FOR CLUTCH, THEN CAR STILL DID NOT WORK, THEY THEN PUT ON NEW TRANSFER CASE EVEN THOUGH STATING IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE AND STILL THERE IS REAR WHEELS MAKING NOISE AS IF THERE IS SOMETHING INTHEM.

A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR A DRIVESHAFT YOKE/SEAL RELATED TO THE TRANSFER CASE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DEFECT CAUSES THE FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. WHICH RUN ON LOW AMOUNTS OF FLUID DUE TO THIS LEAK, DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO THE TRANSFER CASE MECHANICALS. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WITH THE NHTSA, CHRYSLER, & MITSUBISHI. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE SUBJECTIVE WORDING OF THE RECALL AND LACK OF PROTOCOL(AND DEALER KNOWLEDGE), THERE IS NOTHING TO OBLIGATE THE DEALERSHIPS TO INSPECT OR REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE UNDER RECALL. I HAVE A VERY SUBSTANTIAL COLLECTION OF INFORMATION REGARDING THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. DEALERS ARE PROMOTING BUDGETS OVER SAFETY.
