The vehicle suddenly accelerated out of control causing it's speed to increase resulting in crash into a fixed structure. I purchased the vehicle new in 2007 and after nearly 2 years in april 2009 the gas pedal began to stick and make a clicking noise. The dodge dealer found the problem and replaced the entire pedal assembly under warranty. Nearly in the same time period again 2+ years later in nov.

Nearly in the same time period again 2 years later in 2011, the gas pedal apparently stuck again but this time the vehicle accelerated out of control resulting in an accident.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 dodge durango 4x4. The contact stated that the vehicle was involved in a three vehicle collision. A vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into a third vehicle. The contact sustained head and back injuries and received medical attention. The driver side air bag did not deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired.
It appears in warm weather, the signaling system malfunctions. They will not function for left or right signals and hazard lights do not operate. When you placed the signal on it clicks very quickly and sounds as if something is frying, then it shuts off. When you try the signal again, it does not work at all.
The service 4wd light has been coming on and going back off. It is an AWD model durango. I've read forums and a lot of people are having this problem. The transfer case will sometimes shift into full time 4wd on its own, you can here the transfer case shifting with the vehicle off, when you activate the power locks. But last night on the freeway at 70 MPH it decided to shift into 4wd low on its own, my engine went up to 6000 RPM on the tach and I lost speed, almost lost control of the vehicle.
