ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHEN VEHICLE WENT IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, DEALER STATED 3 ENGINE MOUNTS AND THE TRANMISSION MOUNTS HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. ONE ENGINE MOUNT HAD BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY ON 8/5/97. IT APPEARS THAT THESE PARTS FAILED DUE TO A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT. THIS IS NOT AN ITEM THAT SHOULD FAIL ON A VEHICLE THAT IS JUST OVER FIVE YEARS OLD AND HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD. WHEN THE DEALER WAS QUESTIONED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS POORLY DESIGNED AND TENDS TO GO OUT ABOUT THIS TIME. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PARTS. THIS IS A MAJOR RIP-OFF ON A PART THAT IS FAILING PREMATURELY BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURING FLAWS.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES, THE TRANSFER CASE LOCKS UP, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE ANY TURNS. IT IS SCRUBBING RUBBER OFF THE EDGES OF THE TIRES, AND THE TRANSFER CASE MAKES A RACHETING SOUND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN. I WROTE DAIMLERCHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE ON JULY 18, 2000 BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REPLY FROM THEM. THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT, THE FIRST AT 17167 MILES ON 07/09/96. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE OVER 25 MILES UNTIL I GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED.
