Some Dodge Durango owners report experiencing intermittent issues with the Service AWD light, which can indicate that the all-wheel drive system is not functioning properly and requires service. These owners note that the light may remain on after engine startup or illuminate during driving, signaling potential problems. Additionally, some drivers have found that a bad sensor could trigger the warning lights, complicating diagnosis. In certain cases, the Service AWD light is accompanied by symptoms such as the vehicle shifting on its own into 4Lock or experiencing front end binding while turning, suggesting deeper AWD system issues. One owner reported that the AWD light illuminated and the vehicle died, indicating a possible overheating or malfunction that could lead to engine damage; checking coolant levels and the radiator for leaks is advised in such scenarios. It is crucial for owners to address these issues promptly to avoid further complications, and if problems persist, consulting a dealer or qualified mechanic for a thorough inspection is recommended.
