For about 2 weeks the service 4WD light has been coming on when I would hit a bump and then go off when I hit another bump. Then after shutting the truck off and key out of the ignition you could hear the truck trying to shift into 4WD. On Saturday, June 11, 2016 as I was pulling into my driveway, the truck shifted into 4 LO on it's own, locking up the wheels. I shifted into reverse and the truck shifted back into 2 WD. After parking it in the driveway and shutting it off you could hear the truck trying to shift into 4WD. I immediately started searching the internet on how to fix this issue. I have read hundreds of complaints for this issue and no one seems to be able to fix it. One fix I did read said to push in the button beside the N on the 4WD switch. I have done this and the truck ran fine for about 1/2 a day. Monday, June 13, 2016 as I stopped at my mail box the service 4WD light came on, I could hear the truck trying to shift into 4 LO, and the 4 LO light flashed several times on the dash. Dodge really needs to address this issue, because I don't want to be doing 70 and have the truck shift into 4WD like some of the others have complained about. Come on Dodge step up and do the right thing! If anyone has had this fixed I would really like to hear how. Thank you.
