“My 2005 yukon xl will, at random, shift itself into 4 wheel lo. It happens while driving and at speeds of 30+ MPH. All of the lights on the push-button 4wd control module will light up or flash. No amount of button-pushing will disengage 4 wheel drive. I the car will slam to a 5 MPH crawl when it does this. Also the traction control system deactivates at the same time. Has happened over 40 times now.”
