1 Transfer Case problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2020

I was driving down the interstate and my Mazda Cx9 caught fire! I didn't realize it since it was under the car and the car beside informed me of it. This was due to the transfer case issues that Mazda had to extend the warranty on them because of so many issues with them. They are covered for 90 thousand miles or 7 years. My transfer case was already replaced once and do to issues and now since my car is past the 7 years but only has 60 thousand miles they will not pay for it. Even though the transfer case they replaced a few years ago should still be under warranty. This situation could of been a lot worse and thank goodness my children were not in the car with me.

2 Transfer Case problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2013

Purchased this car new, went to have oil change and there was oil underneath. The right piñon seal was out. Had car towed and I contacted the dealership I found out the transfer case is out. Prior to this I smelled something like burning oil, but when I contacted the dealership I was told it was probably the undercoating that is used to ship these cars over the ocean.
