| Description of the problem | I purchased the vehicle new and the first time i used the 4x4 auto the vehicle began to fail. It would stay in 4x4 for awhile then it would engage the 4x4 lock. I have had trouble getting it fixed because of a lack of supply of the required part. Also the windshield wipers went out and it was a 2 weeks before they could get that part in. I have not had any luck with the customer support at dodge at all. |
