| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After only 8057 miles on my 2003 mitsubishi lancer evolution, my transfer case started to whine quite badly. after reading some tech articles, i found that this is not an uncommon failure. i also know that mitsubishi has had transfer case recalls in the past due to their poor rear seal design. the recalls were based off of lawsuits and deaths to individuals driving their vehicle at highway speeds when all four wheels have locked on them causing catastrophic loss of vehicle control. based on mitsubishi's track record, and their knowledge of life threatening conditions under transfer case failure, it is a negligent act for them to overlook this problem. a recall is necessary for public safety! *jb |
