My vehicle started an electrical problem. it's switching my tires from all wheel drive to either 4low or 4lock while i'm driving and i can't hardly get my vehicle to turn while driving when it does this. i had my engine on and in park and heard the noise from underneath. it's the same exact noise that's made when i switch from awd to either 4low or 4wd. this issue is occurring while i'm driving and i feel it mainly when i'm making a turn.

Transfer case can be heard engaging even when vehicle is locked and unoccupied. engaging is sometimes triggered by the remote when locking/unlocking doors. 4 lo light started to flash then my back wheels locked up when i was driving 70 mph on the bypass with children in the truck. it is a miracle we didn't roll over, but another truck was forced off of the road while i used two lanes to try to control the durango. i took the truck to the dealer and no one could find anything wrong with it (no active code)... it drove fine for a few days then the srvc 4x4 light came on and the truck switched into neutral while trying to cross a street... i couldn't move in the middle of a busy intersection. towed the truck to the shop. shop stated they didn't know what to fix. still no active code, truck seems fine. i drove it a few more days and now it has slipped into a lower gear. cannot travel over 35 mph.. parking, reverse and tight turns are very difficult. my take off speed is nearly nonexistent. truck shifted back into neutral on its own as ...

The traction light and service 4wd lights stay on, you can hear the 4wd kicking in and out when the car is sitting the driveway. dodge acts like they have no idea what is causing this problem. you can google the symptoms and everybody that has a 04 to 06 dodge is having the same issue. this should be something covered under a recall, there is to many people having the same issues. *tr

Vehicle has stalled several times in the middle of the road as well as not starting at irregular moments. i have taken it to the dodge dealership and auto repair shop. each time to have something different fixed, first time it was battery and leads, next it was alternator, then new belt , and after each fix the problem would come back, finally an honest mechanic explained that i had to remove leads to battery for 5 minutes before car could crank again. this makes no sense. he checked cam sensor and crankshaft sensor - all good too. this has been a problem for over two years. the worst time was when i was not principal city street at rush hour with 3 children in the vehicle. of course, i was more worried about getting the children out of the stalled vehicle and safely to the side of the street before pushing the vehicle to a nearby dodge dealership. it seems older dodge durangos like mine from 2006 have this come problem. why hasn't a source to this problem been identified and a manufacturer recall solution been provided? ...
