Transfer case failure 2017 Traverse 74,000 miles, part on indefinate backorder nationwide

[Summit118]

The car just stopped moving forward without warning, luckily I was pulling out of a parking lot, making a horrible grinding noise. After having it towed to my garage 4 weeks ago, I'm told the transfer case part is not available, with no idea as to when it will be. I'm in Massachusetts, and even the dealership I bought it from has no access to parts. Has anyone had this happen, and how long did you wait for the part to come in

There are a sh1t ton of them available. And they are super cheap.

 

The dealer does not look for the cheapest option, they look for the most profitable option.

Out of curiosity, what does the dealer want to replace this part?

 

$3,800.00?

It's not at the dealer; it's at a local mechanic I've been going to for years. $2700.

I see.

 

So $372.73 or Best Offer on eBay (without sorting by best price).

 

You pay a local mechanic $500 to install it, and your good to go for Under $1,000 total.

 

Why not just do that?
