HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE GOING ON FROM OTHER DODGE OWNERS FOR '04 AND '05 DODGE CARAVANS FOR SAME ISSUE. APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO FAULTY CHINESE MANUFACTURED PART DODGE WAS INSTALLING AND FAULTING OUT CONNECTIONS CAUSING POWER LOAD TO NOT BE SAME POWER LOAD AS ORIGINAL SPEC (EASILY CORRODED WIRING) AND THEN SCREWING UP THE CONNECTION AND FAULTING THE UNIT OUT TO START TO SHIFT ON ITS OWN. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF OCCURRING ON MANY DIFFERENT PERSONAL OVER THE PAST 5 YRS HISTORIES SEEN FOR SAME VEHICLE MODELS. WHEN VEHICLE IS SHUTOFF CAN ALSO HEAR THE 4WD SELECTOR CLICKING / ENGAGING BACK AND FORTH THE 4WD SYSTEM IN / OUT FROM AWD TO 4WD. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STUCK IN 4WD LO NOW.
