Owners/service Manual Problems of Chevrolet Avalanche

While driving on a 1200 mile trip, the message "service 4wd" appeared and my 2wd yellow indicator light went out. I called onstar and they performed a system diag. Could not pull any codes, so they connected me with gm. The customer service person at gm told me to reset the warning light and if it came on again to take the vehicle to a chevy dealership. The next day the light came on again and I took it to a dealership. They wanted $990. 00 to fix the problem. I did not have that kind of money while on my trip. They also would not verify if the vehicle was safe to take on a 1200 mile trip back home. Today (3 days later, and after I drove another 1200 miles back home), the service 4wd light is back on and now a red light is showing in the neutral position of the transfer case. I looked in the owners manual how to get the truck out of the neutral position in the transfer case and performed these actions. Not sure what will happen tomorrow with the truck. In my opinion, this should have been an open recall as I have noticed many other Avalanche owners with the same problem. My confidence is shaken now with my gm truck.
