The four wheel drive will not work. This is the fourth time this has happen to me. I live on a hill and in the northern N.H. I brought this car because I need the four wheel drive and I have not been to in pressed with it so far and I have owned it going on three years. In those three years I have had to get it fixed every snow season and sometimes had it fixed twice in on season. I would like to get this problem fixed once and for all. I no longer have the warrenty on this car. Now to get this fixed again will cost me some money. I will never buy this kind of car again. I like the way it handles and all but not happy with the four wheel drive. I would like to get it fixed and have it stay that way through the whole seasons. If you know how that can be done let me know.
