While shifting from 2wd to 4wd at any speeds above 15 mph, it makes a terrible grinding noise. Nissan techs says it's normal for this vehicle. Also, extremely poor gas mileage.
Gas mileage is below average. Got 12 to 14 miles per gallon.
Shifting from 2wd to 4wd above 15mph??? c'mon now, that's like rule#1 in Four Wheeling 101: do not shift between drives above 15mph!!!
"Shifting from 2wd to 4wd above 15mph??? c'mon now, that's like rule#1 in Four Wheeling 101: do not shift between drives above 15mph!!!"
That's untrue. On my 1989 Toyota 4runner I've shifted into 4wd over 30mph many times and it doesn't make any sounds.
I really like this vehicle, but the gas mileage is horrible!
