Consumer Description

SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF UNCOMMANDED ENGAGEMENT OF THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE FROM THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE MODE. NO INDICATION AT THE DASH OR AT THE SWITCH LOCATED ON THE DASH. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND TURNED OFF (THE SOUND OF THE TRANSFER CASE SERVO MOTOR OPERATING IS QUITE OBVIOUS). THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE ENGAGEMENT OF THE 4WD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, PARTICULARLY WHEN THE ROAD SURFACE IS SLIPPERY, COULD EASILY RESULTS IN LOSE OF CONTROL.
