I live in AB Canada and it was about 10 below zero Celcius today. I put the unit in AWD because it was really icy and was driving around town shopping for about an hour. Suddenly, all the dash warning lights went on and the unit lost all engine power. I shut it off and restarted it and the engine light stayed on. I just had the oil changed but checked the oil and it was good. Both the oil pressure and temp gauges were at normal, and the engine regained power so I drove home. When I got to the house I shut the unit off and then restarted it, and the engine light did not stay on this time....any ideas as to what the problem may have been?? Oops - it's a 2004 GMC Envoy - 6 cyl.

I have had this issue occur on mine as well. It has nothing to do with the AWD. From what the dealer told me the warning lights will come on and the engine will actually shut off if it "detects" bad fuel that could harm it. Perhaps you got water in your tank or just some low grade fuel?????? I know it does not quite make sense. This has happened to me twice in 3 years of driving this vehicle.

Overheating when driving around town with the AC on--how do you fix the propblem?
Now What !

You should have stopped using it when it first overheated,
& had the issues diagnosed.

You need a dealer or repair shop, unless you have a full set
of factory work shop manuals & powertrain control & emissions

Ether way it sound like the battery is low on power. If it is a new battery then it may be the alternator.

ON THE 2008 FORD ESCAPE, WHEN THE ROADS ARE COVERED IN SNOW AND ICY, SHOULD THE TRACTION BUTTON BE PUSHED IN SO THAT THE DASH LIGHTS UP WITH "TRACTION". THIS BUTTON IS ALWAYS OFF, WHEN SHOULD IT...
This button turns the All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) function on and off. When the "TRACTION" light is on, the AWD function is on -- AWD should be on in snow / ice.

Could be a thermostat issue?
Could be a faulty thermostat. Take a piece of cardbourd and cut it so you can put it in front of the radiator and fix it so it will stay there. Drive the car and watch your temperature gauge to see if it warms up faster but be careful as to not let it overheat. If it starts to heat up cut a 1/4 of the cardboard so a little more of the radiator shows then watch the temperature gauge. Leave it there for the winter then take it out. That is the cheapest remedy when it is cold. I take it when your heater blows it is not not every warm is that correct?

Buick 2004 Rendezvous AWD problems
The fluid in the versa trak AWD in the rear is old and needs to be drained and refilled. After you drain and refill it, make a bunch of sharp left and right hand turns, then drive it for 10 minutes. Drain and refill it for the second time and problem solved. Use only versa trak fluid available at any GM dealership.
