Consumer Description

Have a 2014 GMC Terrain SLT AWD. Just rolled 81,000 miles. Heard some catching in what I thought was front left tire while turning right. Almost sounded like wire wrapped up. Looked under car didn’t see anything. Continued to drive and began to hear really loud grinding noise. Could smell the car getting hot. Get it to body shop and they have identified the transfer case was blown out for unknown reason. No fluid and gears are just walking around. Caught it before it locked up. Needs new transfer case, when we can even get one. Looking at about $2500 in repairs. Of course just out of extended warranty. This appears to be a common problem and needs to be addressed by GM!
