Took truck in for lack of 4WD in 4WD Auto(truck went sideways with out either 4WD coming on or traction control activating). Service manager explained that 4WD Auto needed time to react. This would explain the 4WD issue, but not why traction control failed to operate when under other conditions, it comes on while turning a corner but not as intended. Since then, I have noticed intermittent issues while in full time 4WD. Sometimes the truck stays in 2WD when 4WD is selected and the 4WD light is illuminated. This is proven by the back wheels spinning in a snow covered parking lot and the front tires not turning when stuck. Selecting 2WD, waiting for the 4WD indicator to go out, then re selecting 4WD will it work most of the time. Repeating the 2WD to 4WD selection process will eventually correct the problem. This is a minor annoyance when in the parking lot, but a dangerous problem when shifting on the fly at any speed as the problem has occurred. I have had to pull over on 2 occasions to get the truck into 4WD by switching from 2WD to 4WD. This is not an error on my part as I have owned 4 other 4WD vehicles prior and not had this issue.
