Reported at 52,000 miles, July 2016 Fire

4th and most dangerous of 4 incidents in 3 weeks of ownership of 2015 chevy tahoe lt. Without driver instruction or interference the 2015 tahoe shifted itself into 4wd despite dial on 2wd. Steering difficult, car jerked, engine revved differently and trouble in reverse. No warning signals on display and I didn't know what was happening. Drove .5 mi., pulled over restarted, and then "4 wheel drive, dismiss" on display over steering wheel (no seat vibration, flashing lights as with lane drifting).

Reported at 600 miles, September 2014
