Failure Date: 07/01/1999

I own a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse gsx all-wheel-drive. I have a leak in the transfer case, which prematurely causes wear on the case housing and can lead to a part failure resulting in wheel lockage while driving. This is a huge safety hazard and the dealership in my area has ignored my concerns and causing me grow very concerned when I drive my vehicle. Can you please intervene here and have them fix this problem?.
