Dodge Durango Power Train Safety Report | July 02, 2013
Reported on July 02, 2013
| THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE TRANSFER CASE WENT INTO NEUTRAL, ON IT'S OWN, WHILE DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY, WITH NO SHOULDER. IT KIND OF CREATED A TRAFFIC JAM. LONG STORY SHORT. A FRIEND TOWED ME HOME. I RESET THE TRANSFER CASE PER THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL, AND IT WENT BACK INTO GEAR. STILL DO NOT KNOW WHY IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOW, WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOORS, THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR OPERATES LIKE CRAZY, FOR UP TO 30 SECONDS, AND SOME TIMES LONGER. I GOT ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT IS A PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY MANY DURANGO AWD OWNERS. I BOUGHT IT USED AND THE PREVIOUS OWNERS CLAIMED THAT IT NEVER DID IT BEFORE. ALSO, WHEN FILLING THE TANK UP, THE FILLER NECK WILL PURGE FUEL OUT ONTO THE GROUND AND YOUR FEET. THIS IS LISTED AS A DEALER RECALL, AND MINE WAS LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN DONE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. *TR | |
