Dodge Durango transfer case shifting into 4WD and 4Lo on its own poses a serious safety hazard on Dodge Durango

Some Dodge Durango owners report experiencing issues with the transfer case shifting into 4WD and 4Lo on its own, which poses serious safety hazards. These owners note that the transfer case can unexpectedly shift to 4Lo, even at high speeds, potentially leading to catastrophic failure. Additionally, some drivers have reported sudden shifts into full-time 4WD, resulting in abrupt changes in engine RPM and loss of speed, which may cause a loss of vehicle control. This issue has been observed in various models, including the 2004 and 2005 Dodge Durango. Mechanics suggest that replacing the transfer case shift motor might be necessary to resolve the problem, though the availability of parts and effectiveness of the fix are uncertain. Prompt attention to this issue is crucial for ensuring the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
