TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON IT'S OWN AS I WAS PARKED AND WOULDN'T SHIFT BACK TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE ACTUATOR OR THE CONTROL MODULE OR BOTH AND THEY ARE A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND HAVE FIXED MORE THAN HE CAN COUNT. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE TO THE POINT HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS JUST BY ME TELLING HIM IT SHIFTED ON ITS ON. THE SHIFT KNOB TO SHIFT FROM 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE DOESN'T WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT SHIFTED BACK TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE A WEEK LATER ON ITS OWN AS I WAS DRIVING. NOW I'M SCARED TO EVEN TOUCH THE SHIFT KNOB.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2014 Chevrolet N300 verdict →
