At 65 MPH on interstate 90, the electronic shifter did an uncommanded transition from automatic-4-drive to 4-wheel-low. Driver managed to maintain control and avoid a crash at largely due to the fact that the incident happened at 11pm under very light traffic conditons. No indication of why was found by the dealer although the computer codes verified the shift transition. Dealer indicated that some corrosion was found on the electronic shifter contacts and it was replaced. At the present time, dealer maintains that no damage was done to the engine or drivetrain although loud bangs and metal grinding sounds were heard when the incident occurred. The engine also indicated momentary redlining. The explaination of "corrision" still indicates a serious control system design flaw whereby an uncommanded operation on the unit operating at highway speeds can force the transition from automatic-4-wheel to 4-wheel-low at cruising speeds.
