Consumer Description

SO I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE 4WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. I WENT ON THE DODGE WEBSITE AND IT SEEMS THAT EVERYONE THAT OWNS THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. SO ITS NOT JUST A RANDOM THING THAT HAPPENED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IT COULD END UP COSTING SOMEONE'S LIFE. RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED IT MADE A LOUD NOISE THEN WENT BACK TO 2WHEEL DRIVE. THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE 4WHEEL HI AND LOW WAS GOING HAYWIRE. THEN LIKE NOTHING IT TURNED OFF.AND THE CAR DROVE GREAT. BUT AS I WENT FURTHER DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT 3 MORE TIME SO I PARKED IT. I.WAITED A COUPLE HOURS WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING NOISES AS IF IT WAS ENGAGING AD DISENGAGING THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO. THIS IS CLEARLY A MALFUNCTIONING DRIVE TRAIN AND EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO OWNED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 4 WHEEL DRIVE HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS A GREAT CAR BUT THIS MALFUNCTION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
