What owners wrote

My car had broken down in october. The transfer case in this car was completely shot, and could not even be repaired. The dealership would not fix it under warranty. When the transfer case broke, it leaked fluid onto the exhaust on my car, and was catching fire. I was just able to get my car fixed, and put 400 miles on it, when it happened again. There needs to be a recall as I have spoken with dealerships who have told me that this is a recurring issue.

The vehicles battery drains overnight with nothing left on. The horn goes off on its own weather the vehicles is in motion or parked. The vehicles cut off in the middle of the freeway and mechanic guy can not find anything wrong. I have seen many complaints from customers with same problem on other platforms online.
