2004 Dodge Durango Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Truck svc 4wd light on. Truck goes into 4lo by itself while I'm driving. Later when I went out in truck svc.4wd is off I get to stoplight & I feel a loud thud like I'm being hit from behind. Now svc.4wd light stays on & car is hard to turn.”

“The transfer case randomly shifts into 4 wheel lock and even 4-lo. This happens even when driving. I currently only drive on city streets as I am concerned that it will cause any accident or damage the vehicle if it shifts into 4-lo at higher speeds. The transfer case is currently stuck in 4 wheel lock, which makes it very hard to turn. I have read in forums that most people disconnect their transfer case motor, losing functionality but making the truck safer. I cannot disconnect the transfer care motor while it is stuck in 4 when lock. …”

“While sitting at a red light the vehicle stalled. I put it in park and it started right up. There was no sign of running rough before the stall, it just was idling and cut out. A week later on the highway at approx. 60 MPH the vehicle bucked like it wanted to stall but didn't. It did this three times in less than a minute. I accelerated and it seemed to help.”

“I have a 2004 Dodge Durango slt in which the engine stalls and the vehicle cuts off. This normally occurs when braking, deceleration, traffic lights, low speeds. Also the passenger seat airbag is not working according to the visual lighted display in that area. I recently purchased this vehicle this year.”

“Had driven truck earlier in day had no issues at all. Drove and sounded like it always did!! Went to start it that evening to get daughter from school event and it made a horrible noise and wouldn't start! Mechanic said it was starter. After 2 days of waiting for a starter that noone keeps in stock! Put it on and nothing! Mechanic said it was stuck flywheel. He got it to turn over but the motor was knocking very loud!! Now I'm without a car because I do not have the money for a new motor!!”
