Why does the "AWD Lock" not stay on when driving my Nissan Murano?
So when I was in Lake Tahoe this weekend, the conditions were rather bad. Snowing, Ice and snow on the roads, etc. Chains were required on the highway we were on, so you know the conditions were bad. While driving my 2007 Nissan Murano, the "AWD LOCK" would constantly turn off, forcing me to pull over and turn it back on. I was going 15-20 mph at most. These were definatly NOT the conditions to not be in AWD.
I can understand why the "AWD LOCK" may turn off if you hit 50-60 mph, but why would it turn off at slower speeds in very harsh conditions? This even led to me sliding out and hitting a pickup truck with a tow hitch. This caused a huge dent on the driver side bumper by the fog light. Needless to say I am really ticked off.
So does anyone have any information as to why it would just turn off in harsh conditions? Has anyone else had this issue? Why would it be labeled "AWD LOCK" if it dosen't do what it says (LOCK)??? HELP!!!!
