When driving the vehicle during the first snow storm of the season when I reached my destination I was unable to shift the vehicle into park or reverse. The only thing I could do is drive or neutral. After taking the vehicle to the dealership I was told that snow had gotten lodged in the drive shaft therefore not allowing the car to be shifted. Chrysler told me that this probably wouldn't happen again and that it was because we had heavy wet snow. This is wisconsin!!! we get snow all of the time. They stated that there is nothing that they can do to make sure it does not happen again. I am glad that I was not in a position where I needed to reverse the vehicle or I would have been stuck 55 miles from home in a snow storm!.

While driving (20 mph) the front drive shaft assembly fell off. Apparently, the four bolts that once anchored this shaft just fell out. The vehicle has only 36,000 miles. I stopped the vehicle and had no park gear so I applied the parking break. The vehicle is as the dealership pending repair.

The yoke on the front of the driveshaft broke causing the driveshaft to fall out. The vehicle was just starting off from a traffic light when this occurred.

Transmission and drive shaft failure at 52000 miles.

Transfer case in Dodge Durango slt 4wd(1999) cracked in half while driving. Took it to my local transmission place and after further review, he found the front drive shaft had weakened(broke) which destroyed the u-joint which caused the transfer case to crack. When he called Dodge to order a new front drive shaft, they said they were back ordered 2-3 weeks. When asked if there was a problem with this part, he was told no. But the drive shaft is back ordered. How does that happen and not have a problem?.

Consumer states that while driving, the rear drive shaft fell off of vehicle.

Consumer has been experiencing a loud grinding noise, at first consumer thought it was the brakes, then discovered it was not the brakes, but the driveshaft, consumer was told that Chrysler had been having a lot of similar problems. Could have an accident if rear end locked up. Chrysler was unwilling to assit with the repairs.

When first accelerating or braking to a stop there is a shimmying in the front end took vehicle to dealership was told wheel alignment was needed got alignment problem still there was told I had a busted belt went out and purchased four new tires took vehicle back to dealership to have them look at it again was told had defective u-joint and driveshaft has to be replaced. I feel this is a manufacturing defect that probably is not just my Durango.
