TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. UPON RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WOULD NOT FULLY CLOSE OR THE FILLER NECK MAY HAVE FRACTURED AND CAUSED A LEAKAGE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WAS TO RE-FUEL THE VEHICLE TO TEST THE FAILURE, AND THAT THE CONTACT DID NOT COMPLY WITH WHAT THE DEALER STATED. THE DEALER PERFORMED A SMOKE TEST, BUT FOUND NO FAILURE. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

THE VEHICLE TRANSFER CASE CHANGES FROM AWD TO 4HI AND 4LO WITHOUT THE SWITCH BEING MOVED. THIS HAS MOST OFTEN HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, BUT WHEN SWITCHING TO 4LO CAUSES DIFFICULTY STEERING DUE TO THE FRONT WHEELS BEING LOCKED TOGETHER. TWICE I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PARKING DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCHING BETWEEN MODES WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SWITCHED INDEPENDENTLY TO DRIVE AND IMMEDIATELY DECELERATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE 4X4 SYSTEM SHIFTED INTO 4WD LO NEARLY CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL. WHEN PARKED AND NOT RUNNING VEHICLE WAS HEARD MAKING A CLICKING SOUND NEAR THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE, THE SOUND WAS THE SAME AS WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 4WD MODE. SAME SOUND, SHIFTING INTO 4WD MODE WAS REPEATED WHEN PRESSING UNLOCK ON THE KEY FOB WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, NOT RUNNING, WITHOUT EVEN THE KEY IN IGNITION.... I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED THAT THE DEFECT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY IF THE 4WD SYSTEM DECIDES TO ENGAGE AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME...UPDATED 09/11/15 *BF UPDATED 10/13/15*JS
