I have experienced two incidents of stripped splines on the transmission output shaft [that goes to the transfer case]. The bevel cut gear in the transfer case has also stripped in both instances. This has resulted in considerable expense having the transmission torn down to replace the shaft [not to mention rental car needed during the repair]. Once the shaft splines strip out - the car will not move and presents a clear and present danger to the driver who is out on the road!
Output shaft in transmission has broke twice, once when I bought the car and the whole transmission was replaced, no more than a few hundred miles later the shaft snapped again. The shop that replaced everything the first time stated that the shaft is very weak under pressure. The vehicle has been babied and taken well care of, never driven very hard, but a few times of taking off and the shaft has broken on me 2 times. This time, the car has been sitting for months because I cant afford to buy another $4000 dollar transmission, which would probably break again. Its not much cheaper to install a performance output shaft, which costs around $600 for the shaft alone.
Dt: consumer states that transfer case locked up while going around a corner, which caused the wheels to lock. It felt like the clutch was slipping. When he took the vehicle to the service dealer, they initially thought it was part of a recall for the transfer case, they ordered the parts. The service dealer states that because the vehicle isn't locked up right now it isn't part of the recall. It occurred because the transfer case was low on fluid. The service dealer refused to fix the recall for free. Consumer called daimler-chrysler, and was told according to VIN this vehicle was part of the recall.
