POWER TRAIN
TRUCK SHIFTED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF. EVENT OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATION IT WAS 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I NOTICED TRUCK WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN I WAS SLOWING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND THE STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND FRONT TIRES WERE HOPPING AND JERKING UNTIL I STOPPED. I THINK THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND THAT THE TRUCK SHOULD FAILSAFE AND NEVER ALLOW THE TRUCK TO GO INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IF SOME COMPONENT IN SYSTEM FAILS. A WARNING LIGHT SHOULD COME ON AND THE SYSTEM SHOULD BLOCK ANY ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. LUCKILY THIS EVENT OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED AND WITHOUT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.

STEERING
ISSUE WITH THE STEERING, APPEARED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP. OCCURRED AT ABOUT 50K MILES, 6 YRS. WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WOULD GET HARD LIKE THE PUMP HAD FAILED, AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING, WOULD RETURN TO THE POWER ASSIST AND OVER STEER DUE TO THE PRESSURE I WAS ALREADY EXERTING. THIS TOOK PLACE AT ALL SPEEDS AND UNDER CITY AND HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. VERY DISCONCERTING. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A FAILING FLUID CONTROL VALVE IN THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND REPLACED IT. IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAD PURCHASED BUT WOULD HAVE COST OVER $1500.
