This is in regards to a 2004-2005 awd Chrysler Pacifica. There is TSB 21-020-05 out on the transfer case (ptu). This vehicle had approximately 40,000 miles on it when the problems started occurring. Chrysler recommends replacing the ptu if making noise. Chrysler was contacted on this problem by the consumer, and was denied any assistance in repairing this problem. They site it as normal wear and tear of a vehicle. With such low mileage on a major component on a vehicle, this seemed to be an easy way out for Chrysler to pass this problem off to the consumer. Chrysler also states that unless you are the original owner, the 75,000 mile warranty is void. Considering how many vehicles are on a lease, this would be a very large number. This leaves many people in an unsafe condition that Chrysler has shrugged off. . Read more...
Cluncking noise when backing up and turning. Chrysler has issued a TSB to replace the transfer unit in the awd vehicles. A large number of customers have this issue, and after the warranty expires, the consumer has to pay for the expensive repair.
