Consumer Description

WHEN IN 4- WHEEL DRIVE MODE, I TURNED INTO A DRIVE TO CHANGE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. AS I BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVE, THE ENGINE BOGGED DOWN ANDS ALMOST STALLED. AS I FED MORE GAS, THE ENGINE STILL LABORED AND I COULD FEEL A BINDING IN THE DRIVE TRAIN AND THE STEERING. NOT UNTIL THE WHEEL WAS STRAIGHTENED WAS I ABLE TO FEEL THE NORMAL RESPONSE AND POWER OF THE VEHICLE. DURING THIS PERIOD OF BINDING, IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER AND MOVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ANALYSIS IS THAT THIS IS NORMAL. IT HAPPENS ON DRY, WET, SNOW AND ICE CONDITIONS. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE WHEELS ARE NOT ON THE STOPS WHEN THIS OCCURS. *AK
