Hi,
We just took our 2015 NX200t AWD to Tahoe over the break and as soon as we encountered a little bit snow and the slightest ice a message appeared:
"AWD system has overheated - switching to 2WD"
Continued to drive in 2WD up until we reached the cabin.
Parked the car in the garage over night.
Backed out of garage in morning on to the main road, the temp was about 5 F. After 10s a new message appeared:
"AWD system Malfunction - 2wd mode engaged"
Then we got stuck on the road - only front wheels spinning. Then we started sliding backward into ditch.
Very disappointed.
Dealer took a look at it after we got back to the Bay Area. Cleared the codes and said it passed all tests. I.e. no repair. Sigh.
Don't want to take it up in the snow anymore. Useless.
Still working with the dealer for some sort of resolution.
R.
