| The car flashes 4lo consistently and, you can hear under the car when your not even driving the car switches into different 4x4's. when, you unlock the door it switches into different 4x4's. when, you go into reverse and, turn your wheel all the way the car locks and, you can't move unless you turn your wheel a different way. it also does this in forward. this is an issue that has been happening to other people and, dodge still has not done anything about this. if, you go on this website you will see other people with different year dodges that this has happened to and, yet there still is no recalls. this has to be fixed or someone can, get hurt with the car locking like this and, it going into different 4x4's. http://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t4148_ds482593?actionmessages=your+answer+has+been+posted. *tr | |||

| I will be driving and my 4wd lock will engage without me turning it on causing my tires to stick to the road. it prevents me from turning my steering wheel without the car acting like it is going tip over. it seems like the same problem that was experienced with the 2006 dodge durangos. | |||
