NHTSA Complaint #11572904 — 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

The transfer case blew out. (2) in seven months. Every mechanic that has looked at it says that the bearings sheered and caused metal fragments into the gears causing the transfer case to fail. There was no warning when this happened, no dash lights, just severe grinding and I parked the car. The mechanic pulled it into the bay to further investigate and that is when it blew out and all of the fluid poured out. In July, the same thing happened. Had it replaced and 7 months later it happened again. I had only driven the car 15k miles in 7 months when the transfer case blew out again. After reading forums there are many people that have been effected by the transfer case blowing out.
