Transfer case switches from awd to awd low on its own which can cause a accident on the highway. The transfer case will not switch to awd low when button is engaged. This is a known problem that all the owners are experiencing of your vehicle. There should be a recall for this problem.

It goes into 4low without turning the switch on. Makes it unsafe to turn sharp and fast. We replaced the transfer case switch and it still does it.

My vehicle has 69,000 miles on it. It is very well maintained. Recently i have experienced when coming to a complete stop the vehicle for whatever reason shuts off. I have to push the ignition button to restart the vehicle and it runs fine. It's scary to think that your vehicle can just shut it's off without any warning. The dealership doesn't have an explanation and there is no recall. However; there are multiple…

The neutral button has became stuck which sends a message on the dash to shift in neutral for tow mode or to drive 3-5mph to put in low awd so i did according to owners manual and now the transfer case is stuck in neutral for towing behind rv neutral button is stuck so now it is unavailable to drive, which leads me to believe a faulty neutral switch if you read dodge forums others have had same issues

The transfer case in my vehicle recently had an issue. The internal chain would slip on acceleration and the rate of acceleration would be limited by this event. It would occur on mild to hard acceleration but slow acceleration it was not noticed or did not occur. My theory is on mild to hard acceleration more power is transferred to the front wheels thus putting more energy into the failing chain causing the slip.…
