TRANSFER CASE FAILED, DEALER OKED REPLACEMENT UNDER RECALL, A WEEK LATER THEY SAID THE PART THEY GOT WASN'T RIGHT AND THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SHAFT IS DAMAGED AND THEY CAN'T REPAIR. CONTACTED MITSUBISHI 4/6, BACK & FORTH VIA PHONE, ON 4/20 WAS TOLD "WAITING FOR A REPLY FROM LEGAL", WILL GET BACK TO ME IN COUPLE DAYS, NOTHING SINCE THEN. THE TC IS A RECALL AND THE TC FAILURE COMMONLY CAUSES OUTPUT SHAFT DAMAGE. THEY OKED THE RECALL, HAVE HAD THE CAR WEEKS, AND DONE NOTHING.
