NHTSA Complaint #10628806 — 2005 DODGE DURANGO

THIS VEHICLE CLICKS INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE RANDOMLY AND WON'T COME OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 55MPH WHEN IT KICKED OUT OF GEAR AND QUIT. IT SOUNDED AS IF THE TRANSFER CASE DROPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND DRIVER FELT AS IF GOING TO GO THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE 4X4 KICKS IN AND OUT, AND WON'T STEER. DRIVING IS DIFFICULT AND VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. WHEN CALLED CHRYSLER THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS AND SUGGEST TRYING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT THINGS BUT NOTHING IS GUARANTEED, AND WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX MORE THAN THE COST OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE VEHICLE IS NOT TURNED ON BUT KEY IS IN HAND YOU CAN HEAR THE ACTUATING MOTOR CLICKING IN AND OUT. VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND WHEN VEHICLE STALLS WON'T START BACK UP. A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY, AND APPARENTLY THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME KIND. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. *TR
