I really hope (not just for your sake) that the new transfer case fixes the problem.
If it does, seeing that it has worked on other cars with similar symptoms, I hope that the next unfortunate person to get this defect will have an easier time in getting the proper diagnosis and repair and not have to go through the prostate exam you were put through. |

All my scientific training (!!!) tells me that two or more identical rare events are either not rare or not identical. This to me sounds like a possible faulty batch of cases. If so, a recall would require comparison of the component batch numbers from as many faulty units as possible. Looks like you early adopters are doing the rest of us a favour. So glad that at last something positive appears to be happening for you.

This is amazing diagnostic work and I am very happy this forum exists. Here's hoping that they do issue a recall if warranted because going through the same process Lotus had is not what I would call a satisfactory customer experience.
Many thanks to Lotus and Juddholland for taking the time (and the guts) to research this and post it here. BMW should ship you free cars to test! |

Bringing in my car for a suspension rattle. A friend of mine thinks it's a loose bushing. I think that acts as a sort of cartilage between two pieces of metal. Whenever I go over a significant road imperfection at speed of 40 or higher (often while accelerating), usually one that is parallel to the front wheels of the car, a tinkery "thud" sound makes itself known.
Not happy about this. $60,000 for a rattle I hear in my housekeeper's 8 year-old Jeep Liberty. |

I want the saga to go on and on. It's like a soap opera. Tune in next week when the dealer has some sensational news
Just kidding of course

I went to the dealership this evening and because none of the error lights shown, they have arranged a technical specialist to take a look at it on June 13...... In the mean time, I will take photos with my blackberry whenever the lights comes up...... I will check and see if there are any error codes stored...... |
