The transfer case gremlin struck last night 180 miles from home. AWD was off and there were no warning lights.
I was driving down the interstate, slowed down below 20 miles per hour to go through a toll booth, and then gave it a little gas to get back up to speed when I started hearing a loud clunking from the undercarriage. Fortunately, there was little traffic on the road. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain..
I had it towed to the closest Nissan dealership. They are telling me that it's going to cost around $3500 to fix. It is out of warranty, at 117K miles, and, from what I can tell, the extended CVT warranty doesn't apply.
I've noticed that other people have had similar issues. Does anyine know if Nissan has issued a recall for this yet? or are they still blaming it on user error?
