What owners report
IN 1998 LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP IN THE SOUTHTOWNE AUTOMALL IN SANDY UT PERFORMED THE RECALL REGARDING THE TRANSFER CASE. THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO CHANGE THE TRANSFER CASE JUST LOOK FOR LEAKS. THEY SAID THE TRANSFER CASE WAS LOW ON FLUID AND FILLED IT BACK UP. I REQUESTED A NEW TRANSFER CASE BUT THEY DECLINED. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL NOR WHAT CONSTITUTED HAVING THE TRANSFER CASE OR YOKE CHANGED. FOUR YEARS AND 30K MILES LATER ON 3/21/02 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY TRANSFER CASE FAILED GOING 65 MPH. THE TIRES LOCKED UP AND THE CAR CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT. IT SCARED ME TO DEATH. I BARELY GOT MY CAR OFF OF THE FREEWAY. I
I BOUGHT FALKEN ZIEX 502 TIRES OFF OF EBAY. THE BELT SNAPPED AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT VIBRATION SINCE. I WOULD ASSUME THAT A BROKEN STEEL BELT IN A TIRE IS NOT A GOOD THING, IF TIRE FAILURE WAS TO OCCUR; LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WOULD BE INEVITABLE. I AM IN A CAR CLUB AND I ASKED ABOUT THIS, A CLUB MEMBER INFORMED ME THAT FALKEN ZIEX 502'S ARE DEFECTIVE; THAT HE ONCED OWNED THEM AND HAD PROBLEMS OUT OF 2 TIRES. HE MENTIONED HOW 502'S WERE PULLED FROM THE MARKET AND 512'S WERE INTRODUCED. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY RECALLS OR COMPANY INFORMATION ON THIS AT ALL. I AS WELL NEED TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY TIRES IN WEEKS TO COME.*AK
DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER IS NO LONGER HONORING TRANSFER CASE RECALL 98/V/069/002.*AK
I HAD ALREADY DONE THE TRANSFER CASE RECALL 3 YEARS PRIOR. DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS, ONLY THE FLUID IN THE TRANSFER CASE. I WAS ON A BUSY FREEWAY GOING 65MPH IN THE SLOW LANE WHEN ALL OF MY TIRES LOCKED UP WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. I BARELY MANAGED TO GET THE CAR OFF THE FREEWAY. POLICE OFFICER SAID IF I WAS IN A DIFFERENT LANE I MAY HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AND DIED. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AS I TRIED TO PUSH IT FURTHER AWAY FROM THE ROAD.THE TRANSFER CASE FAILED AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND BOTH REAR AXELS BROKE. THE DEALER ONLY COVERED THE TRANSFER CASE AND YOKE FOR REPAIRS, SAID THEY WOULDN'T COVER THE REAR AXELS AND DIFFERENTIAL. DEALER SAID I WAS DRIVING W/ A B
WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH WHEELS LOCKED UP. TOWED VEHICLE TO GARAGE WHERE TRANSFER CASE HAD TO BE REPLACED.*AK
