1) car races as if in high gear (while in reverse and then in drive) but won't move unless you floor it. After 200ft. Of flooring it..it drops into gear and runs normally. The problem is intermittent and not specific to cold weather but engine is usually cold.. 2)problem is common to Durangos...car shifts freely from park to reverse or any other gear without having to engage the brake.

At 22000 miles, my transmission started jerking while driving at any speed. It was taken to the dealer and repaired but is doing the jerking again. The rear tumble seats would not fold properly, took it to dealer...problem repaired. At 25080 miles a bearing spun, took to the dealer and they will not repair it. It is still at the dealership.

When gear shift lever is put all the way into park positioning, sometimes vehicle will not indicate it is in any gear at all. There is a square which surrounds the P, D, N, etc. On the gear indicator, and none of them will be outlined. In addition to sometimes not indicating the car is in gear, it can be in a different gear than indicated. It can say it is in drive but when accelorator is depressed the vehicle does not go anywhere. It simply revs as if it is in neutral. I consider this a safety problem as the vehicle could roll over my small children if I think it is in park but it actually isn't. the vehilce has been in for repair 3 times and I am told this happens but there is no repair for the problem.
