Description of the problem	My complaint along with thousands of other chevy colorado and gmc canyon owners is the lack of a 4wd indicator reminder light in the gauge cluster. It seems that gm decided that just a tiny led light which is basically impossible to even see in daytime was enough. The only thing that comes up on the dash is a message that reads "shift in progress" but no other indicator to let you know that the transfer case has in fact made the shift or what drive mode it shifted into. The other problem is the location of this 4wd shift knob. It's located to the left, below and behind the steering wheel next to the headlight control knob as my attached photos will show. It is impossible to see while driving since it's view is blocked by the steering wheel and in order to actually see what drive mode the vehicle is in you must take your eyes off the road while driving, try to either look through the bottom of the steering wheel, around it or below it to see the position of this knob. I myself was driving on the beach in 4wd when i went fishing. When i left the beach my truck wasn't driving normally and i realized i never shifted back into 2wd. I literally had to take my eyes off the road to look at this knob to check to see what position it was in and i came very close to having an accident. Also driving on pavement in 4wd can cause serious damage to the driveline and also effecting the stability control system and abs. This is the first 4 wheel drive vehicle i've owned that lacked a 4wd indicator reminder light. Gm actually has an off-road 4wd information screen in the dic on some models but for some reason they didn't make this screen available on the colorado. This feature should be standard on any of their 4wd vehicles or at the very least a 4wd reminder indicator light on the dash due to the unsafe location of the 4wd control knob. This is just an accident waiting to happen!
