While son was driving, he put vehicle into overdrive before passing an intersection. When he took foot off the accelerator to step on the brakes, vehicle accelerated out of control, crashing into another vehicle.
While turning right / left the vehicle vibrates in the rear of the vehicle. Dealer says it's normal. Also, while test driving vehicle dealer claimed it acted like the clutches in the position unit were grabbing. So they added a friction modifier to rear differential and transfer case. Problem somewhat diminished, but not entirely solved.
