Consumer Description

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES BY ITSELF. IT DOES IT SOMETIMES WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH REMOTE AND OTHER TIMES WHEN NOTHING IS DONE. THERE IS NO CERTAIN THING THAT I DO TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. IT DOES IT IN DRIVE ALSO BUT I HAVE ONLY NOTICED IT WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IN MY DRIVEWAY. ENGAGING 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHILE DRIVING OR IN DRIVE, I BELIEVE FALLS UNDER UNSAFE CONDITIONS. HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON DIFFERENT DODGE FORUMS AND FOUND THAT 04-05 DURANGOS AND DAKOTAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
