MY 1993 FORD BRONCO HAS AN ESOF (ELECTRONIC SHIFT ON THE FLY) TRANSFER CASE. WITH FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED, ON ROAD AND OFF, WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS COASTING THE TRUCK WILL SUDDENLY ACT LIKE IT IS NO LONGER IN GEAR. SHIFTING INTO PARK AND AND BACK WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. THE TRUCK MUST BE TAKEN OUT OF FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IN ORDER TO START DRIVING AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE DANGEROUS AS IT COULD ALLOW ME TO NOT REACT IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. IT THINK THAT IT IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM TO THE RECALL 93V089000.
