Buenos dias, good morning in spanish, I was born during WWII and the 2010 is a great vehicle new, once the repairs start get rid of vehicle. I purchased a used 2010 for 2000+ and now comes the problems. The transfer case is stuck. In front wheel drive cars the mechanic must remove part of the engine, transmission to get to the transfer case. Online estimates are over 3000+ to replace transfer case. A used one is a gamble because the labor cost to R&R are exorbitant, a rebuilt case is 900+ and still a gamble, a new one will cost more than the car is worth. Also, the battery removal is a nightmare, you have to remove front tire, remove the cover, and the battery in hidden in a dark place and hard to get to. My 2010 wouldn't start so I removed the battery and charged it. Still no help, the mechanic came and in less than 5-10 minutes removed the battery parts and started the vehicle for $80. If you insist on the 2010 get a mexican mechanic to do the R&R for about $1100+ and hope the repair last. Buena suerte, good luck on your bad luck. Karl 6-4-25.
