I want to say that the information I am about to state is my personal experience and could be wrong. I am posting this in an effort to get others feedback and if I am right to help limi t possible damage to equipment.
This information has been reported to Auto, however, they neither confirm nor deny it.
I have experienced on several occassions the following:
IF YOU ARE IN FORCE 2WD MODE AND YOU START THE VEHICLE WITH THE REMOTE START, WHEN YOU SHIFT THE VEHICLE IN TO PARK OR REVERSE I BELIEVE THE AWD IS EITHER IN AWD MODE OR IT FEELS LIKE THE ER BRAKE IS ON. THE VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO MOVE AND THE STEERING GETS VERY TIGHT. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASSION IT SOUNDED LIKE THE FRONT END WAS LOCKED IN AWD DRIVE MODE AND TURNING THE WHEEL AND ACCELERATING FELT LIKE WHEN YOU USED TO DRIVE IN 4WD MODE ON DRY ASPHALT WITH HUBS LOCKED AND WHEEL TURNED.
AS I STATED BEFORE THIS IS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, HOWEVER, IT DID IT AGAIN TODAY AND IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE IT IS GOOD FOR THE EQUIPMENT.
HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS?
IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU USE REMOTE START!!
