THIS IS AN AWD VEHICLE WHICH IS SLIPPING INTO AWD WHEN IT IS NOT NEEDED (DRY PAVEMENT) AND THEN STAYS THAT WAY. IT IS NECESSARY TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AS THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HASN'T FOUND A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO IT. MY CONCERNS ARE: DECREASED STEERING CONTROL WHEN TURNING A SHARP CORNER ON DRY PAVEMENT BECAUSE VEHICLE IS IN AWD, THE DECREAED GAS MILEAGE BY DRIVING AROUND IN AWD AND THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE OR EARLY REPLACEMENT REQUIRED FOR THE TIRES WHICH WILL BE WORN PREMATURELY. SINCE GM IS DISCONTINUING ALL OLDSMOBILES, MY CONCERN IS ALSO THAT THEY WILL JUST CONTINUE TO HAVE THE DEALER RESET WHATEVER TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK INTO 2WD WHENEVER IT HAPPENS, INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM.*AK
