Transfer Case problems of the 2011 Dodge Durango

My car gets stuck in 4low when in awd. Car stalls all the time they have not fixed that recall as of yet. My check engine comes on and tire sensors to 0 on all sides when tires are fine. I can't turn left or right without clunking jerking. Dodge dealer knows the transfer cases have issues but no recalls. The Dodge forum is full of complaints about same issue happening to least 20 others I have seen so far. I'm being charged about $5000 to change transfer switch and case now. But with so many of us why hasn't this been recalled. I think the whole problem is our computers are faulty. I have all kinds of lights flashing up at times for no reason and no codes are found with cel on. I was driving out of a store car park when light flashed and car got stuck in 4low now I live only to get to is from a highway and when that is 55mph and I can only go 20mph with wide turns we have an issue.

Transfer case switches from awd to awd low on its own which can cause a accident on the highway. The transfer case will not switch to awd low when button is engaged. This is a known problem that all the owners are experiencing of your vehicle. There should be a recall for this problem.

It goes into 4low without turning the switch on. Makes it unsafe to turn sharp and fast. We replaced the transfer case switch and it still does it.

The neutral button has became stuck which sends a message on the dash to shift in neutral for tow mode or to drive 3-5mph to put in low awd so I did according to owners manual and now the transfer case is stuck in neutral for towing behind RV neutral button is stuck so now it is unavailable to drive, which leads me to believe a faulty neutral switch if you read Dodge forums others have had same issues.

The transfer case in my vehicle recently had an issue. The internal chain would slip on acceleration and the rate of acceleration would be limited by this event. It would occur on mild to hard acceleration but slow acceleration it was not noticed or did not occur. My theory is on mild to hard acceleration more power is transferred to the front wheels thus putting more energy into the failing chain causing the slip. You could hear and feel the deep thud/clicking noise as this happened. Because it limited acceleration this is potentially hazardous when crossing freeways with cars going 50-70 mph and you need to make a crossover. My family does this daily. The repair was delayed because the mechanic could not obtain the parts. The part was not available from the mopar dealership network anywhere. The mechanic eventually had to locate a used part, arrange delivery, and rebuild a functioning transfer case from my old one and the salvaged part. The mechanic told me that the transfer case has a high failure rate and that is why the part was difficult to obtain, the cost was considerably more, and the repair ran several extra days. His initial estimate for the repair was $1600. The final bill was $2500. The vehicle was delivered on the Thursday morning 8/17/17 with an expected diagnosis by the end of the next day. On 8/18/17 the employees told me about the issue with the part. The vehicle was returned on 8/14/17 approximately 2 days longer than expected because of the part availability.

Power train thump and shudder, constantly complained to dealership, did not take any action until recently (Jan 2014 with approximately 58,000 miles), when the automatic 4 wheel drive would not engage in poor winter driving conditions. No codes related to to the problem, I drove the vehicle and demonstrated the problem. Dealer could not recreate problem when Chrysler technician came to service location. It is likely the system was reset to learn mode, transmission did not display problem during learn mode. Rebuilt the transmission and replaced the transfer case (over 9 weeks in the shop). Problem may have been solved, but have not been able to drive the vehicle due to weather and business travel. The transmission in this year is a mercedes unit, effectively a bastard step child with no ongoing technical support. . The drive train integration with engine controls and diagnostics dangerously ineffective.
