Vehicle shudders under acceleration no warning lights or errors . Changed transfer case oil and same problem continues. No recall from manufacturer for issu.

2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 02/13/2026

I am reporting a premature failure of two critical engine components: the heat management module (coolant pump/thermostat assembly) and the oil filter housing. Despite the vehicle's low mileage (40,000 miles), the heat management module began leaking coolant, posing a significant risk of engine overheating and sudden loss of power while driving. Simultaneously, the oil filter housing has developed a leak, allowing oil to seep onto the engine block and potentially onto the serpentine belt. Both failures represent a safety hazard: coolant leak: risk of thermal engine damage and being stranded in traffic due to overheating. Oil leak: risk of oil contacting hot exhaust components (fire hazard) or causing the serpentine belt to slip/fail, resulting in a sudden loss of power steering and charging systems. These components appear to have failed due to manufacturing or material defects rather than standard wear and tear for a vehicle of this age and mileage.

3 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 05/23/2025

While traveling at approximately 20 mph, the vehicle experienced a sudden loud pop from the engine bay, immediately followed by multiple dashboard warning lights. The vehicle was safely brought to a stop, and aaa was contacted to arrange towing to the nearest available repair facility. A diagnostic inspection identified the failure of the crankshaft vibration damper. According to the repair facility, this component is essential to maintaining the structural integrity and operational balance of the engine. At the time of failure, the vehicle had approximately 37,000 miles on the odometer—well below the expected service life of such a critical part. Had this failure occurred at highway speeds, the resulting mechanical disruption could have led to a loss of engine function and increased the risk of a serious accident or death. The nature and mileage of this failure raise concerns about a potential defect or design flaw. I am requesting that the national highway traffic safety administration review this incident and consider whether similar cases have been reported. Failures of this type should be reviewed for broader safety implications.

4 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 01/20/2020

When I was driving the car on high way yesterday afternoon, about 6 pm (Jan 20, 2020) in left most lane, the car's all led dashboard completely shutdown (black) and engine stoped. I had to slowly move the car the the road side and tried to restart the engine. The engine started with lots of warning signs.
