| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: If the vehicle is placed in 4-wheel drive on a high traction surface and you attempt to turn, left or right, the drivetrain locks up and the vehicle will not move. i have taken it to the dealer and had many conversations with gm customer service and they tell me i should not be driving in 4-wheel drive on a high traction surface. the service manager did agree that the vehicle will not turn in this situation and that there was nothing he could do. i have owned numerous 4-wheel drive trucks and never have i had one that would not turn will in 4-wheel drive on a high traction surface. they may skip or hop a little but they always turned. if you happen to turn left and the vehicle stops you would be placing yourself and the passengers in harms way with on-coming traffic. i have a safety issue with my vehicle and it may be a generic issue. gm says it is caused by driving in 4-wheel drive on a high traction surface but when asked where it states in the owners manual that i can't drive in this situation they say it does not specifically state it. if this is a generic issue then there may be alot of owners that may not be aware of an extreme saftey concern. if your organization has a local office i would be happy to demostrate this safety issue. |
