Consumer Description

I NOTICED OVER THE WEEKEND THAT THE CAR STARTED MAKING A WEIRD TICKING NOISE. ALSO WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE IT SEEMED LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL SOMETIMES. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND IT STARTED TO BUCK AND SPUTTER. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT PULLED OVER AND THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CRACKED TRANSFER CASE WHICH CAME WITH A $2400 ESTIMATE! AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR AND FOUND MANY ACCOUNTS ON DODGEJOURNEYFORUM.COM. SOUNDS LIKE A RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY! *TR
