1 Transfer Case problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2019

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.
