The transfer case make clicking counts when driving and while car is idle. It also makes these clicking noises while the car is off putting the car into 4 lo on its own. The car will sometimes shut off while driving low speeds and attempting to make a turn. The battery dies frequently after a week of not is use.

It is a awd car but sometime the 4lo light comes on with a very annoying noise from the bottom of the car or engine, then the speed being slowed down significantly, the car becomes hard to keep going. The streaking sound and the speed being reduced like the break being stepped on abrubtly makes me pull over for safety.

When i unlock the doors with the remote or open unlocked doors, the shift motor activates, i can hear it engaging and disengaging. There is a delay upon starting my truck before the drive gear kick in and i can proceed to drive vehicle. When i make a sharp turn going forward or backing...the rear tires lock up. The awd lights flickers on/off. Constant smell like something is burning.

Today my durango lurched forward uncontrollably, hitting 3 cars in the parking lot at the elementary school where i work. My foot was not on the accelerator. There was no way i could have accelerated that quickly in 12-14 feet to cause that kind of damage. If there had been any children out there, they could have been killed! It was the most terrifying thing that ever happened to me. A recall needs to be issued…

Vehicle misfires during acceleration. Almost caused vehicle to be rear ended pulling out into traffic. After having it looked at by the dealer, found out i am not the only one with the problem. It stems from a design defect in the rain cowl that allows water to pass through the windshield wiper opening where it runs onto the engine and pools in the spark plug holes, causing a short. Chrysler redesigned the cowl to…

On 3/19/2014 i was driving in the middle lane of a very busy street called gratiot ave with heavy traffic and the engine just stopped. I could not accelerate and had just enough speed to slowly merge right and turn into a shopping mall off the street in order to miss oncoming traffic. My truck had completely stalled. *tr

While in awd the vehicle switches to 4 lo by itself. This makes it hard to make turns, forward and reverse. The 4 lo light blinks and service 4 wd lights stays on. I do not manually switch out of awd, as 4 wd is not needed. However, as i stated before, it switches on its own. On the date of the incident, the vehicle would not return to awd from 4 lo. I was told to unhook the battery terminals and after i replace…

The car begins to sputter and stall at constant speeds, then stalls while running which disables the power steering and brakes. This situation is profoundly dangerous as it renders the car nearly unable to stop. The only way you can stop is if you can get the car into neutral, coast off the road and quickly restart the engine. The engine light does come on during. I have gotten this issue repaired four times and it…

Vehicle stalls during at low speeds, often during parking lot or driveway maneuvers; - they occur during decelerations, such as braking for a stop sign or traffic signal. Happens multiple times without warning which has led to near accidents. Extremely dangerous. Surprised that there have been two investigations that have both been closed. There needs to be a recall asap. *tr

This vehicle on numerous occasions shuts off while moving down the road. Started out only during slow speeds, but has started to do it while actually cruising down the road. No warning, just total loss off steering, brakes and engine. Luckily it has cranked back up and able to get out of the road. I also have had on several occasions the temperature gauge indicate that the engine was overheating and the car will…

First, the cruise control stopped working. Then, the speedometer and odometer quit working when the abs, parking brake, check engine, and traction control lights all came on. Took it to the dealer to repair the instrument cluster recall, and was told that it needs a new abs control module and wiring harness. The wiring harness is completely melted, probably because of a short in the control module - at least that's…
