    My 2005 dodge durango hemi has started to behave oddly. First...it started with not being able to lift the gate in the back? Just locked up and we could not open it for months. It then progressed to an issue with the remote not working to unlock anything. We took it to the dealership who quoted us at $350 + to fix the remote...ummm no. Since then i have been opening my door using the key. Late last year i began to…

    My 2005 dodge durango shifts back and forth between 4wd and awd randomly. The 4wd light will come on and the vehicle shifts into lock without warning, making driving difficult and backups jumpy and jerky. It will shift back and run properly, but does not stay functioning long. There is a 'drag'' feeling to the vehicle when it slips into 4wd. This has made driving the durango a concern and nearly tripled the amount…

The 4 lock light was flashing on all by itself and the knob has been on awd i only rarely switch the vehicle to 4 lock in the winter time. This makes about a dozen times it has happened to this vehicle. Twice in one day is very scary. I am very afraid of what…

    My 2005 durango started this about 2 wks ago; searching other forums and my mechanic searched his sites, it's most likely an electrical issue having to do with the ac shorting out voltage to the transfer case...i am sending a letter off to dodge corporate as there are so many complaints about this issue from other dodge durango & ram owners, who like me, feel it should be a recall issue. I am not about to bring it…
