Consumer Description

The power transfer unit, and yes it is available for inspection. I had it inspected by two auto mechanics. The problem appeared back in 2023. The issue I have been having is when turning, backing up or accelerating the back wheels are kicking in, it does not have as much power during acceleration. There is already a recall for this issue but vehicle isn't on this recall list. There is always a margin of error in manufacturing dates due to multiple possible issues it is possible that any car manufactured out side of the recall date could have been missed.
