Consumer Description

I'VE HAD MY ENCORE FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. IT IS A 2015 AND JUST UNDER 50000 MILES. FOR THE LAST MONTH ITS BEEN SAYING AWD OFF. THIS IS AS SOON AS THE CAR STARTS. IT ALSO DIBGS AND COMES UP AGAIN EVERY 10 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING. I'VE.CONSULTED THE MANUAL AND IT SAYS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN BACK ON. THIS DOES NOTHING. IT'S BEEN ICY HERE AND I'M STARTING TO FEEL UNSAFE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT.TO DO. I CANT SHELL OUT HUNDREDS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT.AND HAVE SOMEONE NOT BE ABLE TO FIX IT.
