UPDATE: it went into the shop on Thursday and by Friday morning it was determined that something in the transfer case (high range side) is failing. The “clunk” does not happen in low range. There is only 5 degrees of driveline “take-up” in low range (normal) and nearly 45 degrees of FRONT shaft rotation until take-up in high range. I suspect I’ll be getting a new t-case. Again, only 5100 miles (with about 500 miles of Colorado off-road use).Year: 2024 Station Wagon
Miles: 5100
Suspension: STOCK
Failure: As indicated by service manager: “pronounced/severe pre-failure ‘clunk’ when getting on / off throttle” at low speeds.”
Went in the shop today. Awaiting result. Meanwhile enjoying a QM loaner.
