POWER TRAIN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
04/12/2010	12000
	Was driving slowly in a parking lot and was starting the turn into a parking stall when the steering became very difficult and the vehical had difficulty moving forward. transmission had gone into 4x4 low without anyone pushing the button on the dash. i had a 2007 canyon and it did the same thing about 3 times while driving in a parkade. when i contacted the dealer there comment was to bring it in while the incident is occuring. when i did take the 2007 in for service they could not find anything. i will mention the incident on 2009 when it goes in for its next service.
