problem #2

Nov 032012

Rainier 4.2L L6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,123 miles

The AWD warning light comes on sometimes. I can still drive the vehicle but notice problems when making a turn at slow speeds (<5 mph). The vehicle bucks and lurches like when a 4WD system is engaged on dry pavement.

problem #1

Jan 202007

(reported on)

Rainier CXL 4.2

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles

Warning light will come on with or without other symtoms, dealership very cooperative in

taking care of problem, however not knowing if a real problem exists and the inconvenience

of being without vehicle is annoying. This normally occurs on trips of more than 400 miles.
