Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Had a small oil leak from the transfer case, inspection showed that it was the output shaft leaking next to the front drive pulley. Upon inspection discovered that the nut securing the drive pulley on the shaft was loose, the lock tab was still in place. Discovered that the splines on the front drive pulley were worn and the pulley now fit very loose. It is possible for the lock take to wear from vibration to a point where the nut comes off, if that happened the pulley and drive belt could come off and lock the rear tire. …”
