“2007 durango with hemi engine. The 4lo light flashes and, you can hear it switch under the car even when it is off. When, I unlock my doors you can hear it again. When you switch the dial over to 4lo the svc 4wd light just blinks. While driving this engaged as I was making a turn it almost stalled me while traffic was coming.”

“I was traveling on i99 southbound and all of a sudden my vehicle downshift from 4th gear to 3rd. I pulled over to investigate but couldn't find anything wrong. I turned the vehicle off waited about 5 minutes and turned my vehicle back on. I positioned the gear shift lever to drive (d) and started driving again. I noticed a lack of acceleration as though the transmission was stuck in a high gear. I had the transmission fluid drained, the filters replaced and had the transmission refilled with new transmission fluid. …”

“The service 4wd light has been coming on and going back off. It is an awd model durango. I've read forums and a lot of people are having this problem. The transfer case will sometimes shift into full time 4wd on its own, you can here the transfer case shifting with the vehicle off, when you activate the power locks. But last night on the freeway at 70 MPH it decided to shift into 4wd low on its own, my engine went up to 6000 RPM on the tach and I lost speed, almost lost control of the vehicle. I thought the drive train was going to blow up. …”

“The vehicle suddenly accelerated out of control causing it's speed to increase resulting in crash into a fixed structure. I purchased the vehicle new in 2007 and after nearly 2 years in april 2009 the gas pedal began to stick and make a clicking noise. The Dodge dealer found the problem and replaced the entire pedal assembly under warranty. Nearly in the same time period again 2+ years later in nov. 2011, the gas pedal apparently stuck again but this time the vehicle accelerated out of control resulting in an accident.”

“Driving in a parking lot and vehicle shifted into 4x4 low on its own. Shifted back out of 4x4 a few minutes later. Started driving it again and it shifted into 4x4 and as I made a turn, it shifted into 4x4 low. Stayed in 4x4 low for about 30 seconds and jumped back out of 4x4 low. Not sure if it jumped into 4x4 or regular all wheel drive. Went to turn into my drioveway and it again shifted into 4x4 low. Unexpectadly shifting into 4x4 or 4x4 low when driving.”
