Transfer Case problems of the 2007 Dodge Durango

The service 4wd light has been coming on and going back off. It is an awd model Durango. I've read forums and a lot of people are having this problem. The transfer case will sometimes shift into full time 4wd on its own, you can here the transfer case shifting with the vehicle off, when you activate the power locks. But last night on the freeway at 70 mph it decided to shift into 4wd low on its own, my engine went up to 6000 rpm on the tach and I lost speed, almost lost control of the vehicle. I thought the drive train was going to blow up. I think there should at least be a recall on this problem, due to safety.

Vehicle shifted into 4wd and then to neutral and would not shift back. Had to pull to side of road to avoid a collision. The problem here is actually the transfer case motor. On the awd model it is a 2 speed motor on 2wd it is a one speed motor. This is important because you need to know which you have if you are looking to replace it.
