While operating this vehicle on my property in 4wd the transfer case became stuck in 4wd. It still is stuck in 4wd and won't return to 2wd as it should. I've been forced to remove the front driveshaft (no easy task) to prevent unnecessary wear and tear on the front differential. After reading numerous forums relating to this subject I've determined that this is a common occurrence with this model transfer case.

The dealership known as ramey Toyota has my truck and charging me with unnecessary charges on towing the vehicle to their facility due to a spring clip become loose allowing the vehicle's right rear wheel to sway therefore it had to be towed.

Transfer case seized, causing vehicle to come to complete stop in the middle of intersection. Vehicle was rendered immobile. Dealer stated that such operation "is normal on hard surfaces. " in my opinion, upredictable driveline seizure is dangerous and indicative of a manufacturing defect which will cause an accident if not corrected. Northcutt Toyota will not fix the problem.
