| Description of the problem | While driving at various speeds and also sitting at an idle, the truck tries to engage 4wd low. Dealership has replaced the front actuator, flashed the tipm on 8/28/15. Didn't leave the dealers lot and the truck was still shifting into 4wd on its own. Back to the garage it went. I would have thought the truck would have a built in safety so that it can not shift into 4wd low at high speeds... Been told it could be the ac pressure switch, tipm, transfer case actuator motor. Awaiting transfer case motor to be replaced at the moment. Still waiting for dealer to say that it is fixed. The truck is presenting unsafe driving conditions and the dealership can't find whats wrong with it. The problem still happens as of 9/20/15. Dealer has had my truck since 8/26/15 and still has it as of 9/20/15. |
