Consumer Description

DOUBLE FAILURE OF 4-WHEEL DRIVE INDICATORS. 4-WHEEL DRIVE FAILED BUT THE "SERVICE LIGHT" DID NOT APPEAR ON THE DASH AND THE LED LIGHT ON THE 2WD/AWD/4-HI/4-LO SWITCH DID NOT DISPLAY CORRECTLY. BECAUSE WE WERE UNAWARE THAT BOTH INDICATORS WERE NOT WORKING AND THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE WAS NOT WORKING WE ATTEMPTED TO GO OVER A MOUNTAIN PASS DURING SNOW CONDITIONS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE WAS WORKING CORRECTLY. I WAS BRINGING MY MOTHER HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL AFTER A HEART PROCEDURE. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING CAREFULLY, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID BEGIN TO LOSE CONTROL, BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CORRECTIONS. WE WERE FORCED TO TURN AROUND AND TAKE ANOTHER ROUTE, WHICH DOUBLED THE LENGTH OF OUR DRIVE. THIS NORMALLY WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR MY MOTHER'S CONDITION. *NM
