Differentials/gears/steering
When I drive, there is a grinding sound, like gears out of sync. After some time, the cars makes a LOUD THUMP and the "grind" sound goes away, for a while. At the same time, the SUV will flip between normal and 4 wheel drive.
Also, when trying to make a tight turn either direction, the car will NOT move
