This SUV automatically locks into 4-wheel drive while you are driving the vehicle. I have had the SUV in the service garage 3 times. Nov. 13, Dec 19, and Dec. 27. all three times they replaced the transfer case switch. The SUV is still locking into 4-wheel hi while driving. Jan.2 I almost wrecked because it engaged at 35-40 miles per hour while going around a bend. The vehicle had to be shut off to disengage the 4-wheel drive system. I have contacted GM about this problem and they are basically ignoring it. Please help find out what the problem is before someone is hurt.
