What owners wrote

I was driving up a grade during a snow storm and when I tried to select 4wd I had to take my eyes off the road to find the 4wd control knob,which is hidden behind the steering wheel. I consider this a serious problem because I nearly wrecked while trying to locate the 4wd control knob. I blame this on faulty engineering by GM!
