Consumer complained about a transfer case problem. When driving at approximately 40 mph there was a loud clanking sound coming from the front undercarriage. Consumer took the vehicle back to the dealer, and was told the vehicle had dusty brake pads, but that was not the issue. Then, consumer was told that the constant velocity joints were leaking. Also, consumer was told that the driveshaft needed to be replaced. Consumer felt that the dealership did not know what the problem was, and perhaps was covering up the real problem.

Vehicle has several jerks when decelerating and accelerating. Brake rotors(4) had to be replaced. Brake pads also had to be replaced. U-joint replaced. Ring gear and pinion problems. Transmission jerking. Sunroof vibrations when sunroof is open. Overall a nightmare of a vehicle purchase.

Whenever making right hand turns would get a clicking noise in cv joint. Vehicle would cutoff without warning. Speed not a factor. When in reverse, the vehicle would cut off. Had been to dealer 15 times for problem & nothing was found wrong.
