Wheel Lock up all 4 even in neutral !!!

[UserNotFound]

Ok so here's my problem i come home late night well at least on my way home going up a hill in 3rd gear, just normal drive mode i hear this "BOOM" decently loud, sounded like a semi truck tire blowing up. The car went on for about lets say 300 feet with no unnormal sounds, smoke, or problems what so ever car just comes to a stop. Motor is fine but when i tryed to hit the gas the car wont move at all, so i immediately turn the car off. Now heres my problem the car wont move for shit, even in neutral with the brake off all 4 wheels are locked up the car can rock back and forth about meh 3 inchs back and forth but the car will not move after that, Tranny still goes in and out of gear just fine with no sounds but normal shifting noises, car still starts up like the day i got her idles just fine. SO ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS WHATS GOING ON? maybe transfer case? the car was making a small whinying sound for about a week during deceleration till she blew also there was no oil, water, or any fluids that where leaking when it happen.

You have to check your transfer case or center differential... one of the two have gone...

Lol welcome to the wonderful world of dsm's... Even if your not paying for some sort of repair then your saving for the next time it does break haha..
Sounds like the t-case seized up though man, drop it and turn the input/output shafts and see if they turn.. If so then its a tranny issue if it is the t-case then it will not turn by hand..
The whining points to the t-case too.. Although my t-case/rear diff has been whining since i ran the car for the first time after my build it still not seized(knock knock i know its coming haha..)

Sounds like the transfer case to me too. Good thing about this is that, if this is what it is, its a safety recall and should be fixed for free by the dealer regardless of the year or mileage.

Lol ya i know how you feel i beat the shit out of my jeep and crx i owned before i got into the dsm scene and never had any issues..

These cars are worth it too me though haha..

I know the feeling about not driving it i haven't had many issues with my gsx(one im dealing with now is the most serious and that's i just broke my carrier barrings for left cv axle off inside block) but the few ive had set the car in my driveway for a month haha..

Ya they DO turn heads i love the attention i get with my gsx.. Especially when i clean the wheels up really nice and wax her down im always getting rubber-band necked and told what a nice car i have...

The recalls on these cars are pretty much not gonna happen.. It has to be within 10 years for it to be valid.. You can try but im willing to bet you get yanked around and it goes nowhere ..
