Most drivetrain and transfer case problems announce themselves well before they strand anybody. On a 2023-2026 Lyriq, these are the ones worth acting on.
1. A hum that changes with steering input, which usually points at a wheel bearing
This one is usually early, which is good news, because it is cheap to fix early. Start by looking at transfer case encoder motors.
2. A four wheel drive light that flashes and never engages
This is the symptom people put off longest and regret most. Start by looking at CV axles.
3. A clunk on the transition from drive to reverse
This is the symptom people put off longest and regret most. Start by looking at CV axles.
4. Vibration that appears above 55 mph and grows with speed
It rarely gets better on its own, and it usually gets louder before it gets expensive. Start by looking at front differential actuators.
What to Do Next
Transfer case and differential fluid on a schedule that tightens sharply if you tow or run in dust. Wheel bearings are replaced on noise, not on mileage.
Ride height, axle ratio and locking differential content all change these numbers.
