 There is a safety recall for the transfer case. i have all the symptoms transfer case failure. there is oil leaking and the transfer case locks up, making it impossible to drive the car, the wheels will not budge. i have talked to two dealerships. neither will honor the recall because it has been performed before. i have talked to chrysler and they will not allow the recall to be performed. the person i spoke to said it could not be done because it is not a faulty part.even though what is wrong with the car is exactly what is stated in the recall. this is a safety recall. if the transfer case would have locked up when i was going at a high rate of speed, it could become a very serious medical emergency and even cause a totaled car. i am not sure what was replaced when the recall was performed before, but the symptoms of the car make it seem like it was not done correctly before. *tr

 Transfer case leakage.

 The leak on the yoke of the transfer case allows enough of the gear lubricant in the transfer case to seep out that it will eventually have no lubricant and will seize.
