Transfer Case Problems of Chrysler Aspen

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.

As requested by jake - Chrysler corp, cc#: 29959728 I took my car in for repairs last Thursday. Matt richardson called on Friday stating that the rear end barrings have come apart on the car and that they not only need to replace the barrings, they need to do an entire overhaul of the entire rear end. He explained they will be replacing the pinion nut which was the n08 recall performed last year, the differential unit including replacing the oil in the rear differential unit on the service that was performed in July 2016. He stated that it would take approximately 3 to 4 days. $1150 Chrysler¿s lifetime powertrain warranty should cover this as the pinion nut, rear end differential is part of the powertrain. A warranty that provides protection for as long as you own the car to the key component groups that are essential to keeping your vehicle running: the engine, transmission/transfer case/all-wheel drive assembly, and drivetrain assembly. However, I am being charged. Recall #2 not performed as airbag parts are not available.

Vehicle randomly shifts from awd to 4 lock or 4 low. Usually at low speeds. Transfer case may also shift to neutral. When backing or turning sharply, as in parking, is the most likely time of occurrence. Transfer case also shifts when using the key fob to lock/unlock doors while vehicle is off and parked. I have almost been hit after backing out of a parking space and was unable to get to traffic speed due to random shift to low range. Vehicle has also shifted to neutral after parking, causing it to roll on slightly inclined driveway, nearly dragging me and/or striking my children who were in the driveway.
