I just purchased the vehicle right before this happened. I was pulling out of my drive way with my infant daughter in the vehicle. We were going approximately 20 miles an hour max. The truck made a horrible winding noise than a crashing noise. It was so loud people came out of their houses thinking it was an accident. Right when it happened the truck just abruptly stopped without warning. I looked at the dash and the 4 wheel high light came on followed immediately by the 4 wheel low light and then no lights. It was towed. I am concerned because the dealership has given me conflicting stories on the safety of the vehicle. Before they knew the problem they told me if it was the transfer case it could cause an accident on the highway for me and my baby. Then once they found it was the transfer case that cracked when the truck supposidly shifted into four wheel low on it S own, they then decided the vehicle was safe if they fix the transfer case and that it wouldn't happen again. Well, it happened in the first place. I spoke with several other mechanics and they said the vehicle is unsafe. I do not know who to believe.
