LET ME FIRST START OF BY SAYING THAT I GET MY CAR SERVICED ON TIME, EVERY TIME. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN SHAKING BADLY. NOTICED THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY AND LOOKED IT UP IN THE OWNER MANUAL. BASED ON THE INFO, I CALLED TO SCHEDULE TO TAKE MY CAR IN THE NEXT MORNING. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND EXITED THE HIGHWAY. I DROVE LOCAL SO I COULD KEEP MY SPEED TO 20 MILES. THEN WHEN 4 MINUTES FROM HOME, WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE CAR WENT DEAD. I TRIED TO START IT, BUT NOTHING.

WE NOTICED AN OIL LIKE SUBSTANCE LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

WE CAUGHT OURS EARLY, SO NOT SURE WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED IF WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE OURS AROUND. *TR
