Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR STARTED SKIPPING AND JUMPING, VEHICLE WAS HARD TO STEER AND IT ALSO HESITATED TO GO, TURNING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. 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 MIGHT HAPPEN IF I AM GOING A HIGHER SPEED AT THE TIME IT DECIDES TO MESS UP. I HAVE TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE BUT SAYS IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT WOULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE SEARCH ON LINE BY TYPING '05 DODGE DURANGO 4 LOCK BY ITSELF' AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO WITH NO LUCK FIGURING THE PROBLEM, ONE PERSON HAD REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE 3 TIMES AND IT WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. *TR
