After putting the vehicle into four wheel drive, the vehicle suddenly stopped. When this happened, the vehicle flipped and ended up on its side. Contacted dealer, and dealer not willing to do anything. The dealer could not find the cause that made the four wheel drive to thump and lock up, dealer replaced the right and left hubs and the seals. The vehicle also had its heating system fixed twice. The rear brake parts also fell apart and were replaced. One person was injured in accident mentioned.
