Consumer Description

AT VARIOUS TIMES FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON, THE VEHICLE SWITCHES IN AND OUT OF 4-WHEEL HIGH AND LOW. THE ISSUE BEGAN WITH IT OFF, THERE WAS A AUDIBLE MECHANICAL SHIFTING COMING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE TRANSFER CASE. AFTER THAT THE ISSUE BEGAN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE, SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AT 45 MPH+, AT THAT POINT A LOUD METAL GRINDING SOUND BEGINS AND DOES NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED TO < 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SLAMS INTO GEAR, WHICH IS USUALLY 4 WHEEL LOW. THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER SHIFT INTO ANY CHOSEN MODE, IT CHOOSES ITS OWN MODE AT RANDOM. AT TIMES IF THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN 4 WHEEL LOW PUTTING IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN INTO REVERSE CAN HELP TO SWITCH THE VEHICLE BACK INTO AWD OR AT LEASE 4 WHEEL HIGH. *TR
