Complaint Description: the getrag transmission/transfer cases on these cars is defect in that it is not built to handle the power and torque of the engine. replacement transmission parts are not available. our only option is to replace the entire transmission--often costing more than the vehicle's book value. the replaced transmission may fix the problem, but only temporarly until the splines are again stripped. first, we need a recall on the getrag transmission and transfer case. secondly, we need a better manufactured part so that the failure does not happen again. fortunately, this failure has not caused any deaths--but it is only a matter of time before a driver loses control of their automobile when the getrag component fails. .
