Consumer Description

The 4X4 system stop working. the driveline from the front PTU to the rear differential is rotating but the wheels are not! no indication of any failure in the dash board while driving regular road. Under load, when trying (unsuccessfully) to climb a small hill, the 4X4 system gets "heating warning and shuts down. I was advised to take off the 4X4 fuse in order to not increase the damage. Bottom line - my jeep trailhawk is now a regular 2X4 car :-(
