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
