Transfer Case problems of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and making a turn, the rear wheels suddenly locked. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle and was able to continue driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transfer case had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer determined that the failure was related to an unknown recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 167,000.

Vehicle shudders when accelerating, mainly low speeds. Jeep dealership investigated and stated transfer case needs replaced.

Defective transfer case gear motor and transfer case control module. This causes vehicle lurching while at slow speeds I. E. In a parking lot in drive or reverse driving straight but worse when turning. Also caused loss of abs, traction control and forward collision warning systems.

I heard a rattling noise and immediately made an appointment with a dealership. They ran diagnostic testing and whatever they did during the test, it caused the vehicle to lock up and become not drivable. They informed me it's the transfer case, which is a known and costly issue.

Started to hear a loud clicking noise coming from the engine compartment. Took it to byers Jeep dealership in columbus ohio to have it evaluated . Mechanics say that the transfer case is bad and the transfer case module needs to be replaced immediately. The Jeep Grand Cherokee clicking noise was heard while both in stationary and driving mode.

Vehicle had faulty dtcm (transfer case control module) at 73,000 miles. Faulty unit resulted in misreadings sent to transfer case causing transfer case to fail mechanically. No codes or artifacts left behind from fault. Dtcm and transfer case both needed to be replaced due to faulty control module. This issue is commonly reported online across Jeep forums for vehicles using this dtcm, and fails commonly. When inquiring with dealership on repairs, dealer stated this part is known to fail commonly but no TSB has been issued. Opened warranty case with fca regarding failure of mopar branded part on vehicle. Fca warranty department was only willing to split repair cost 50/50 (vehicle outside of power train warranty) even after noting this is a known issue.

Vehicle was in for 100,000 mile service at dealership. During inspection tech noted there was seepage coming from the input/output shaft seals on the transfer case. After reading Jeep forums I noticed this seems to be a common occurrence.

I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee srt. In the last year and a half, I have had to have the transfer case & rear end replaced. This is just uncalled for on a 4 year old car. It is currently sitting at the dealership (has been there for a week so far) to have the lifters/cam replaced. The parts from Chrysler are so far on back order there's no hope of getting them. The aftermarket parts are also on back order. Those 2 things tell me that this is a widespread malfunction with this engine & seems to me to be a design flaw.

The Jeep was stationary, started, put into neutral, put into 4 wheel drive and it locked into it. Unable to get it out of 4 wheel drive . Dealer says its transmission sensor and clutch on transfer case.

I was informed by a supervisor at the Chrysler corporation that the reason that the transfer case (part of the drivetrain) on my all wheel drive Jeep broke while I was driving was because there was a difference in tire tread depth of greater than 3/32 of an inch (2. 3mm). They were kind enough to reimburse me $1000 towards the repair, however, I do believe that this is a safety issue.
