Vehicle is switching into 4wd low while in motion. I have also heard the actuator activating while the vehicle is not running and without the key in the ignition. I believe this to be an electrical issue based on research that appears to be happening in multiple vehicles for dodge. I am concerned that the system could change into 4wd or 4wd lock at a highway speeds causing dangerous and unsafe driving conditions.

Vehicle shifted into 4wd and then to neutral and would not shift back. Had to pull to side of road to avoid a collision. The problem here is actually the transfer case motor. On the awd model it is a 2 speed motor on 2wd it is a one speed motor. This is important because you need to know which you have if you are looking to replace it

2007 dodge durango slt 4x4, stalling and engine failure without warning while driving down the road. The first few times the engine stalled it would lose all power and stop in the intersection with little to no way of controlling the vehicle. Once the vehicle stalled and several more times in an attempt to get safely out of the road the engine would no longer start. The dealership has had the vehicle for several…

I will be driving and my 4wd lock will engage without me turning it on causing my tires to stick to the road. It prevents me from turning my steering wheel without the car acting like it is going tip over. It seems like the same problem that was experienced with the 2006 dodge durangos. *tr
