Transfer Case problems of the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500

While driving at various speeds and also sitting at an idle, the truck tries to engage 4wd low. Dealership has replaced the front actuator, flashed the tipm on 8/28/15. Didn't leave the dealers lot and the truck was still shifting into 4wd on its own. Back to the garage it went. I would have thought the truck would have a built in safety so that it can not shift into 4wd low at high speeds. . . Been told it could be the ac pressure switch, tipm, transfer case actuator motor. Awaiting transfer case motor to be replaced at the moment. Still waiting for dealer to say that it is fixed. The truck is presenting unsafe driving conditions and the dealership can't find whats wrong with it. The problem still happens as of 9/20/15. Dealer has had my truck since 8/26/15 and still has it as of 9/20/15.

Driving a 2007 Dodge ram at 35 mph in snow/slush conditions with full time 4wd. The shift motor on the transfer case failed and caused the vehicle to return to 2wd without any notification. This caused me to go into a spin. Just prior to spinning, the instrument panels lights went out and all gauges went to "zero" momentarily. Afterwards, the 4wd auto light was flashing and I had no 4wd. This design is not fail safe and there are no safety warnings from the manufacturer. I also found out from my local dealer that this is the second incident just in this area.

2007 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. Transfer case partially locks in causing right front tire to lock up. Four wheel drive does not engage fully. This can be caused by the electronic transfer case motor. This was observed at a speed of 30 miles per hour and lower. Have seen many complaints on internet about this failure. Have only 52000 miles on vehicle and four wheel drive rarely used. Vehicle becomes undrivable because four wheel drive will not fully disengage. Shifting into 4x4 mode at higher speeds could cause vehicle to veer to the right and off of road causing a crash. These faulty transfer case motors have been a problem on different model years.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving 30 mph in four wheel drive, the vehicle shook. The failure only occurs when the four wheel drive is engaged. When the vehicle was taken to the dealer, the contact was allowed to drive a 2008 Dodge ram pickup and it did the same thing. However, she stated that the 2008 vehicle vibrated instead of shook. The dealer stated that this was a normal occurrence when the vehicle is placed into four wheel drive. The powertrain was unknown. The current mileage was 12,200 and failure mileage was 12,100.
