Transfer case spontaneously fractured,mounting point on transmission broke. Unable to drive repair cost approximately $13,000.
I purchased this vehicle on January 5, 2026, from a family-owned dealership in broken arrow, ok. The vehicle was purchased “as-is” with a guarantee of sale and a carfax report. After purchasing the vehicle, I drove it home and it remained parked until January 8, 2026. On Thursday, January 8, 2026, the vehicle experienced an unexpected engine stall while I was driving. At the same time, the slip indicator light and traction control appeared to engage. I contacted the dealership immediately to report the issue, and the vehicle was towed back to jt wholesale auto sales on Friday, January 9, 2026. On Tuesday, January 13, 2026, I was informed by the dealership that the vehicle had undergone a complete inspection and that no mechanical issues were found. Relying on this representation, I retrieved the vehicle and drove it home. However, after retrieving the vehicle, I continued to have concerns regarding its condition. On Thursday, January 15, 2026, I took the vehicle to stellar auto service located at 2209 n. Yellowood Ave. , broken arrow, ok 74012 for an independent inspection. Stellar auto service specializes in Lexus and Toyota vehicles. During their inspection, they identified the following issues: • engine timing chain cover leak • worn drive belt stellar auto service was informed of the slip indicator light activation and the engine stalling that I had experienced. However, at the time of their inspection, they were unable to identify or reproduce any issues related to the slip indicator light or the stalling concern that I reported. On Sunday, February 15, 2026, the slip indicator light illuminated again, and the vehicle stalled while in operation. I was forced to safely pull off the roadway. I turned the car off, waited, restarted the vehicle, and drove home. The same issue occurred again on Sunday, March 8 and 15th, 2026. While driving, the slip indicator light illuminated and the vehicle stalled. I pulled off the road turned the vehicle off, restarted it.
Safety concern: engine timing cover oil leak. Blind spot warning malfunction.
