| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: During normal driving my truck will shift into 4wd-high. i cannot determine if it occurs at highway speeds or low speeds (<30 mph), i only notice it when i go to turn. the occurance is intermitten since i bought the truck new in september 2005. it has almost cause me to have a head-on collision with an oncoming car and a building because the turning radius is affected when it shifts into 4 wd. since the truck has push butten control to change to 4 wd, for several months i thought i bumped or pushed the button by accident, but that is not the case. i have been to the dealer 4 times, the 4wd control head has been changed (fault indicated), transfer case control module has been changed (internal fault indicated), all electical wire harnesses to the transfer case module-control head were checked for shorts. problem not identified or solved and gm service told dealer to quit trying different things since the problem could not be identified. the vehicial is still under new car warrantry. in another drive train issue that may or may not be related to the automatic shifting into 4wd is a complete rebuild of the automatic transmission at 4200 miles. the transmission had to be rebuilt because no new transmission was available in n. dakota. i have had no other problems with this truck. *nm |
