ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES WITH MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO AS OTHER POSTS. THE 4LO AND SVC 4WD WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL PERIODICALLY FLASH ON AND OFF, AND FREQUENTLY WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT OR DRIVEWAY I HEAR A CLUNKING SOUND AND THE TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY SHIFTS ON ITS OWN INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE WHEELS WILL LOCK AND WHEN I ACCELERATE IT ACTUALLY JERKS THE CAR AND DRAGS THE TIRES. RECENTLY I HEARD A LOUD THUMP AS IF SOMETHING BROKE AND IT SHIFTED INTO 4WD ON ITS OWN. IN ADDITION, WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF IT WILL OCCASIONALLY START CLICKING AS IF ITS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE CAR DOORS. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR 10-15 SECONDS BEFORE STOPPING. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SERVICE BUT THEY CLAIM TO HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE AND SEEM BAFFLED AS TO WHAT'S CAUSING IT. CLEARLY THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS I'VE SEEN FROM PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. AFTER WAITING 6 WEEKS FOR AN AFTERMARKET INSTRUMENT PANEL THE DEALER REPLACED IT, BUT THAT MADE ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE AND I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS BEFORE.

THE DURANGO SWITCHES INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE CAR USE YOUR KEY FOB TO LOCK THE CAR AND YOU CAN HEAR IT ENGAGE IN TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT ALSO DOES THIS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. IT IS REALLY BAD WHEN IT SWITCHES INTO 4 LO. I HAVE READ SO MUCH ABOUT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THESE ISSUES, YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE. IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED! THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR 3-5 MONTHS NOW AND IT IS JUST GETTING WORSE.

TAKATA INFLATORS-I HAVE REPEATEDLY CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL & I HAVE BEEN TOLD EACH TIME THE PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ARE ON BACKORDER & THEY HAVE NO TIME ESTIMATE FOR THE PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE. MY 1ST CALL TO THE DEALER WAS 6/22/2015 & I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 3-4 WEEKS FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE. I CALLED AGAIN ON 7/24 & WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE STILL ON BACKORDER & THERE WAS NO TIME ESTIMATE FOR PARTS AVAILABILITY. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY & STILL THE SAME MESSAGE. 6 MONTHS SEEMS A BIT LONG TO WAIT FOR A RECALL ITEM.
