What owners report
VEHICLE ENGAGES 4WD LO AND 4WD ON IT'S OWN AT ANY TIME. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AT THE TRANSFER CASE ENGAGES AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING. I CAN ALSO HEAR 4WD ENGAGING WHILE LOCKING THE VEHCILE WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF STORIES OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE/CHRYSLER WILL REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR WHICH TEMPORARILY ALLEVIATES THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL AND DANGEROUS. AT THE VERY LEAST, THIS PROBLEM CAN DESTORY A DIFFERENTIAL AND IN THE WORST CASE, CAUSE A VEHICLE TO GO OUT OF CONTROL ON A HIGHWAY/MOTORWAY. THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT IN DODGE DURANGO AND CHRYSLER ASPEN VEHICLES.
STEERING PROBLEMS HAD RACK AND PINION REPLACED, INNER TIRE RODS REPLACED, LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, OUTER RIGHT TIRE RODS BROKEN, VERY FORTUNATE MY FAMILY AND I NOT HURT (70MPH ON I95), REPLACE OUTER TIRE ROD, PLAY IN STEERING REPLACE STEERING YOKE. ALSO WATER GETS INTO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTING OUT COMPUTER. DO NOT KNOW HOW WATER GETS IN, CAN NOT SEE FROM INSIDE OF VEHICLE, BUT CAN SOMETIMES HEAR WATER SLOSHING AROUND.
VEHICLE SHUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE ENTERING ONTO AN EXPRESSWAY. LOSS OF POWER STEERING MADE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL TO SAFELY GET ONTO THE SHOULDER. SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED MADE THE VEHICLE A FURTHER HAZARD. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER, THE VEHICLE COULD BE PHYSICALLY KEYED OFF, THEN RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. CAUSE OF FAILURE IS UNKNOWN.
WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SLIPPED INTO 4-WHEEL DRIVE LOW. VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BECAME HARD TO STEER/MOVE IN THIS CONDITION, DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS THE VEHICLE'S HANDLING COULD CHANGE AT ANY MOMENT... AT ANY SPEED.
HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING AFTER REFUELING WITH GAS. VEHICLE WILL STUTTER AND STALL WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND YOU LOSE STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NEITHER A DEALER OR PRIVATE MECHANIC CAN GET A CLEAR INDICATION AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. FUEL PUMP RELAY(MARCH 2017) AND EGR VALVE(JULY 2017) HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED AND PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURS. VEHICLE RUNS FINE AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE BUT STALLS AFTER REFUELING. OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE JULY 5. WE GOT IT BACK ON JULY 19 AND WHEN WE PUT GAS IN IT , IT DIED AGAIN AND HAD TO BE TOWED BACK THE SAME NIGHT TO THE SHOP WHO HAD JUST REPLACED THE E
