This seal should have lasted 100,000 miles and went bad at 24,000 miles. the dealership had my car for a week. They ordered the seal, said they got the wrong part so had to order the part again. All the while I had to pay for a rental vehicle because I wasn't gonna drive a little piece of crap rental that my insurance company would cover.

The transfer case is leaking again. Now the dealership says I have to pay for the repair because the seal they put in in 2013 only had a one year warranty. WAIT A MINUTE!!! The first one shouldn't have gone bad in the first place at only 24,000 miles. So in 5,000 miles and 5 months my warranty will be up. Does that mean that I'll have to expect to make this repair about every 25,000 miles????? WTF??? I'd rather dump this vehicle and buy something else!
