general problems of the 2002 Dodge Durango

After starting my Dodge Durango and try to take it out of gear, the gear shifter gets stuck in park, it will not move. I have to keep playing around with it until it moves out of park. It does this off and on, just stated this about a couple of months ago. Today is 2/16/2020. Yesterday, I looked up the problem on you tube, and found out that I could take the boot off at the column by the shifter and spray wd40 on the gear lock to unstick it. I did do that and it worked. But what is making it do that to begin with?.

Dash and under neath and steering colunm and speed cluster caught fire today. Truck was parked and running.

Was driving at low rate of speed and the spare tire fell from under Durango the cable that holds it in place just broke. Had I been on busy highway at 55 to 65 mph people could have been killed. There should be some kind of safety holding tire besides just the little cable.

It started with a soft bell sound (e. G. Like when you open a door), doors locking and unlocking, small light on the 4 x 4 knob going off and on, console light turning on and off and the 4 x 4 system was not working. All issues started a couple of months prior to 1/7/14. It was worked on by Dodge of woodbury, NJ during the 1/7/14 week. Now, (5/12/15) there is a bell sound again on and off. Not sure if the 4 x 4 is working since I've had no need to use it. However, this is an electrical issue that is not going away fully!.
