NHTSA Complaint #10572526 — 2005 DODGE DURANGO

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE 4X4 ENGAGES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO JUMP EVERY 1/4 MILE OR SO, SLOWED SPEEDS TO 25, CONTINUED TO JUMP UNTIL I PULLED TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PARKED. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR EVERY TIME I DROVE EVEN IF I NEVER WENT ANY FASTER THAN 25MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WHERE I HAD A WARRANTY AND AFTER THEM KEEPING MY DURANGO FOR OVER A MONTH AND A HALF THEY SAID THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN COMPARTMENT FOR THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY, HOWEVER THERE IS A TRANSFER CASE SHIFT MOTOR THAT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS OUTSIDE OF THE TRANSFER CASE. THEY SAID EVEN IF I PAY THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS PART, THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. I WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING DODGE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BECAUSE IT IS A DEFECT OF THEIR VEHICLE. *TR
