Consumer Description

THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE BUTTONS FAIL TO WORK EVERY SO OFTEN. I WAS COMING HOME FROM ANN ARBOR, MI. ONE NIGHT AND MY INDICATOR LIGHT SAID I WAS IN NEUTRAL FOR SOME REASON. I PLAYED WITH IT FOR A BIT AND NO LUCK. MY FRIEND WAS WITH ME AND HE OWNS A REPAIR FACILITY IN SOUTH LYON, MI. HE KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG! THE ENCODER MOTOR FOR THE TRANSFER CASE IS BAD. IT IS AN ELECTRIC ITEM AND FAILS. THE ENCODER MOTOR IS WHAT SHIFTS IN TO 4 HI, 4 LOW, AUTO 4 WHEEL AND 2 HI. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TOWARD THE END OF FEB 2010 WHEN MY TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL, 2 HI WAS MY ONLY OPTION. ANOTHER FRIEND OF MINE HAS A 2004 SILVERADO AND HER ENCODER MOTOR WENT BAD ON THE FREEWAY. HER PROBLEM WAS THAT HER TRUCK THREW HER INTO 4 LOW WHILE SHE WAS AT 70 MPH. OMG IS THAT SAFE???? GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE PEOPLE START TO CRASH OR WORSE GETTING HURT AND DYEING AS A RESULT. *TR
