Maybe you can just try not turning the steering wheel full lock- idk if there is something wrong with your 4WD but I don't ever turn the wheel full lock on any of my cars- at all- at full lock, when you give it the gas, it puts a lot of stress on suspension and steering components- maybe just trade it in on a Chevy Cruze?

Dude I did lot of research on this after experiencing myself. You should always use the first switch 4D (unlocked) for regular driving and on highways. 4D up arrow locked or down arrow locked will increase the traction and will avoid taking sharp turns.

I have the same exact problem! Hoping it's just the 4wd. I've had a lot of problems with this h3! I would never recommend it to anyone!

Take it out of 4 wheel drive. Its on the instrument panel in the middle. You'll see a big difference.

I just wanted to know if you found the problem, I have the same problem, it activates the 4WD by itself and it's not suppose to do it if you don't press the pushbuttons in the center of your console, somebody old me if I have any problem with one of my rear wheels specifically the emergency break the computer can activate the 4x4 because is electronic. is that true?
