2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

MY DURANGO HAS STARTED TO ENGAGE INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON ITS OWN. IT DOES THIS WHEN PARKED AND WHEN DRIVING. IT NOW IS STUCK IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND CANNOT DRIVE ON THE PAVEMENT. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY DODGE.

I PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE AND COULD FEEL THAT IT HAD SHIFTED INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF. THE DASH WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY ON THE DRY PAVEMENT. AFTER PARKING AND SHUTTING DOWN THE VEHICLE I COULD HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR SHIFT THE TRANSFER CASE WITH NO KEY IN THE VEHICLE. NOW I HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCHING MODES AFTER THE VEHICLE IS SHUT DOWN, AND IT HAS SHIFTED TO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AT LEAST TWO MORE TIMES ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING.
