Jeep dealer diagnosed and replaced transfer case actuator. Fix lasted 1mo. Returned to dealer; trouble codes cleared. Problem returned in less than 24h. …”
NHTSA complaint #10568861, filed 2014-03, 86,241 miles“Traction control light (skidding car) flashes, feels like ABS is being applied to passenger front wheel even though I am not applying the brakes and even when accelerating. Usually only stops when the eas/bas lights come on. Always worse on warm days. Jeep says theres no issue but after 5 minutes on the internet, thata clearly not true.”
