My 4 LO light is constantly flashing, and I lose power when trying to accelerate. 1.Loss of Traction Control: If the 4WD system fails while engaged, it could lead to a sudden loss of traction. This can be particularly dangerous in conditions where 4WD is necessary, such as on slippery roads, steep inclines, or off-road situations. 2.Unexpected Vehicle Behavior: A malfunction in the 4WD system could lead to unpredictable vehicle behavior. For example, if the vehicle unexpectedly shifts into or out of 4Lo mode, it could disrupt the driver's control over the vehicle. 3.Increased Wear and Damage: Operating the vehicle with a malfunctioning 4WD system can lead to increased wear or damage to the drivetrain. Over time, this can result in more significant failures, potentially leading to unsafe driving conditions. 4.Difficulty in Handling: If the vehicle is stuck in 4Lo mode, it might become difficult to drive at higher speeds. The 4Lo mode is designed for low-speed, high-torque scenarios, and driving in this mode on regular roads can affect handling and control. 5.Increased Risk in Emergency Maneuvers: Should an emergency maneuver be necessary (like sudden braking or evasive steering), a malfunctioning 4WD system could impede the vehicle's response, increasing the risk of an accident.

ON DECEMBER 12, 2017, ABOUT 5 PM. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. THOUGHT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT WAS SO LOUD IT SCARED ME. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED MY SPOUSE. WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE MY SPOUSE AND I DISCUSSED WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN SINCE NO TIRE WAS BLOWN. I PICKED UNDER THE VEHICLE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING LEAKING OR DAMAGE. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR WITH MY SPOUSE STILL ON THE PHONE AND STARTED THE VEHICLE TO CHECK DUMMY LIGHTS ON THE - NOTHING THERE. I STARTED THE CAR AND KEPT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I COULD HEAR AIR COMING THROUGH MY SUNROOF. LUCKILY THE MOON ROOF SLIDING DOOR WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS HAD ENTERED THE INSIDE. BUT COULD TELL THAT THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WITH NO ONE NEAR ME IN FRONT OR BEHIND OR PASSING FOR A GOOD 200 TO 300 YD BEFORE I PULLED OVER.
