MY DURANGO HAS STARTED TO SWITCH TO 4WHEEL DRIVE ON IT'S OWN WHILE I'M DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING. IT MAKES STEERING AND MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

ENGINE, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
I TURNED LEFT SHARPLY INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME UPON DOING THIS. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND PARK THE VEHICLE. FOR THE PREVIOUS 3 WEEKS OR SO THE VEHICLE HAS SPUTTERED AND BEEN SLUGGISH WHEN TURNING SHARPLY INTO PARKING SPOTS OR AROUND SHARP CORNERS BUT HAS NEVER STALLED. 8/19/15 WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLING.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO SWITCH ITSELF INTO 4WD WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, USUALLY DURING OR SHORTLY AFTER AN EXTENDED TURN SUCH AS A RAMP. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON BUT I BELIEVE BASED ON THE WAY IT DRIVES THAT IT MUST BE IN 4LO. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN 4WD IT WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE 4WD SWITCH AND SO FAR IT HAS TAKEN TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF TO DISENGAGE THE 4WD.THE SVC 4WD LIGHT HAS COME ON 3-4 TIMES, BUT NOT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OTHER ISSUE, AND NOT FOR MORE THAN 2 MINUTES AT A TIME.

POWER TRAIN
IT IS SWITCHING BETWEEN AWD 4X4 LO AND HIGH ON ITS OWN. BACKING UP IT FELT LIKE A SPRING PROPELLING ME FORWARD. FEARING THAT I COULD LOSE CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY. MECHANIC IS LOOKING INTO LOWER THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE ISSUE BUT ONLINE I FOUND A FORUM UNDER TOPIX AND THE ISSUE WAS VERY CLEARLY A $200 PART THAT CAN BE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED IN UNDER AN HOUR OF LABOR. ITS THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCH WHICH HAS ALL THE SYMPTOMS MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING.

AIR BAGS
FOR MANY MONTHS DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY SPONTANEOUSLY. (I CALLED THEM THEN WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON THE NEWS) I FINALLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND IT ADVISED ME OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM BUT THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT FOR AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAVE HEARD REPORTS THAT IT COULD BE 2 YEARS BEFORE IT MAY BE FIXED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A RIDICULOUS LENGTH OF TIME TO SECURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. IS IT POSSIBLE TO EXPEDITE THIS REPAIR OR TO MAKE MY CAR A PART OF THE NEW DECISION AGAINST CHRYSLER TO BUY BACK THE CAR? THERE WASN'T A SPECIFIC INCIDENT THAT PROMPTED MY COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK, WHEN THE PUMP KICKS OFF FUEL SPITS BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK ON THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE, AND ME (IF I AM STANDING CLOSE). I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND CONVERSATIONS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. SOME ARE REFERENCED BELOW: NHTSA INVESTIGATION #RQ08005 LED TO RECALL #09V003000 NHTSA REFERENCE #10051769: TSB #SB-14-002-13; CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN #CSC-10051769-3696 WARRANTY BULLETIN #D-13-09: SUBJECT: (X48) FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE (FUEL FILLER TUBE) PURPOSE OF BULLETIN: TO ANNOUNCE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE ON 2005-2006 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES STATING: "THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION COVERAGE IS UNLIMITED TIME AND MILES." I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BENCHMARK-CHRYSLER-DODGE-JEEP-RAM, 1313 GRANTS MILL WAY, BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA 35210, (205) 957-1313 FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED ME UP FRONT THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED $105 TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT I WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF THE PROBLEM WAS COVERED UNDER ANY RECALLS OR WARRANTIES. AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO START BY REPLACING THE FILLER NECK AND IF THAT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THEY SAID THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY NOR THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AFTER LEAVING BENCHMARK I HAD TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE AND I VIDEOED THE FUEL SPIT-BACK WHEN THE PUMP SHUT OFF. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS DOCUMENTED THAT THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM, BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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.

POWER TRAIN
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.
