“4x4 drive shaft failed. While traveling on interstate the front drive shaft broke at the u-joint. I've only used the 4 wheel drive option 2-3 times and the transfer was in 2h at time of failure. Front aluminum wheels fractured. Both front wheels got hairline cracks. One at about 145k miles and the other at about 160k. 90% of miles are highway miles.”
