Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transfer case failure when transferred from normal operation to 4 wheel drive. if this had happened while i was on the road instead of in front of my home, i believe an accident most surely would have occurred. thank god i tested the 4 wheel operation before i took a trip to the snow country. there is the possibility that thousands of 4 wheel drive owners are at risk of serious accidents and completely ignorant of this danger. *jb
