    My 2005 dodge durango 5.7 4wd hemi, has been kicking itself into 4 wd, 4 lo and even neutral while driving down the highway. The car will be off and you can hear mechanical mechanisms at work. The vehicle going into neutral has happened only while driving on the highway and the the other shifts happen all the time no matter what the vehicle is doing parked driving or no key.

    2005 dodge durango limited 5.7. My durango locks its self into 4x4 on it's own. I cant disengage it. This happens either sitting still or driving down the road. I have carried it to the local dealership and they charged me $2210+tax to fix the issue. They said it was the front control module and the wiring harness. I got my truck back and it was still locking in 4x4. I carried it back and they said the wiring…

    I was driving my vehicle while conducting a u-turn on boulder highway and the car shut off right in the middle of the street. Oncoming traffic was luckily able to see that my car was stopped and avoided hitting my vehicle which was stopped between two lanes. After a few min i was able to get the car to restart.

    Upon filling the gas tank since the first time on june 15, 2017, and every time since then, the fuel always spits back, and all over the place, including on the gas attendant, upon any one walking by, on the car, and of course, on the ground. It may or may not be the fuel tank inlet check valve (fuel filler tube), but the dangerous safety issue remains. I have read that 20,000 durangos have been recalled from 2005…

    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.

    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…

    The transfer case shifts by its self.the vehicle shifts into lock all on it's own, then the svc 4wd light comes on. Sometimes when the vehicle is turned off you can hear the transfer shift back and forth from awd to 4 lock now its stuck in 4lo this happens stationary and in motion.
