MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WILL GO INTO 4 WHEEL LOW WITH OUT WARNING AND WILL SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL LOCK WITH OUT WARNING THERE IS SOMETHING GOIN ON WITH THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS WITH 500 PEOPLE SAYING THE SAME THING . PLEASE MAKE DODGE RECALL THIS AS IT IS GOING TO RESULT IN FATALITIES . A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CHANGING THE TRANSFER CASE , TRANSFER CASE MOTOR AND ELECTRICAL AND IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES UNRELIABLE AND CAN CAUSE DEATH TO MY FAMILY AND OTHERS AS WELL PLEASE MAKE DODGE RECALL THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE . THANK YOU *TR

TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ENGAGES WHILE DRIVING GOING FROM AWD TO FOUR WHEEL LO. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. 4WLO LIGHT FLICKERS AND TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ENGAGES EVEN WITH VEHICLE SHUT OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V354000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

MY 2005 DURANGO STARTED THIS ABOUT 2 WKS AGO; SEARCHING OTHER FORUMS AND MY MECHANIC SEARCHED HIS SITES, IT'S MOST LIKELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE HAVING TO DO WITH THE AC SHORTING OUT VOLTAGE TO THE TRANSFER CASE...I AM SENDING A LETTER OFF TO DODGE CORPORATE AS THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER DODGE DURANGO & RAM OWNERS, WHO LIKE ME, FEEL IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. I AM NOT ABOUT TO BRING IT IN ONLY TO HAVE A MECHANIC "TRY" TO FIX THE ISSUE AND REPLACE THE WRONG PART SO I HAVE TO GO IN REPEATEDLY AND SPEND MONEY I DON'T HAVE UNTIL (IF EVEN) IT IS SOLVED. I WOULD RATHER TRADE IT IN FOR SOMETHING ELSE. HOPING BY SENDING A LETTER TO CORPORATE THEY WILL CONSIDER A RECALL NOTICE OR HELP ME TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 4LO BY ITSELF. ALL EFFORTS TO SHIFT BACK OUT OF 4LO FAILED. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. SERVICE SHOP DIAGNOSED TRANSFER CASE AS THE PROBLEM, AND REPLACED IT. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHIFT INTO 4LO BY ITSELF WHICH IMPACTS THE ABILITY TO TURN THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THAT MY 4 LO WARNING LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. ONCE I CAME TO A SAFE STOP, I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE ACTIVELY TRYING TO ENGAGE ITSELF BY MAKING A CLANKING NOISE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING, ONLY THIS TIME, IT SUCCEEDED IN SHIFTING ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE BUT ONLY FOR A BRIEF PERIOD. NOW IT DOES THIS ON A DAILY BASIS AND WILL EVEN DO THIS IN MY GARAGE WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT WILL ALSO DO THIS WHEN I USE THE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK MY DOORS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER DURANGO OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. MY WORRY IS THAT IT WILL FIND A WAY TO SHIFT ITSELF INTO 4 LO WHILE EITHER MY WIFE OR MYSELF ARE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. IF THAT HAPPENS, IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL TO PREVENT ANY INJURIES OR DEATHS. PEOPLE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE, REPLACE WIRING, AND SEVERAL OTHER FIX ATTEMPTS BUT TO NO AVAIL. AS A 16-YEAR CAREER FIREFIGHTER, I AM PLEADING WITH YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS. *JS

WHEN I PUT GAS ON MY CAR THE VALVE IN THE FUEL THANK DOES NOT CLOSE AND LEAK GASOLINE TO THE FLOOR. *JS
