I was driving my 2011 Durango yesterday and the information screen started to flash a message something about proper towing. The Neutral light on the console wash flashing. I wasn't towing or pulling anything but I pulled into a vacant lot and went thru the steps to shift in and out of low, but that did not help. I drove the car home and backed it into the carport to unload two wheels. When I went to move it, the "Neutral" light on the console was lit up, and the transmission would not shift into any gear.
It is stuck in neutral.
I tried pulling and replacing fuses, unhooking the battery cable. This did not reset anything.
When I went to put the car into Park, there was a gear grinding noise.
The Durango is sitting in the carport with the selector in Park but the transmission is not in Park. The vehicle will roll freely no matter if it is in Park, Drive, or Reverse. I had to apply the emergency brake to keep it from rolling away. It sounds like it wants to shift, but it won't go into any gear.
The so-called "Neutral" button on the console is now constantly red. I have read that the "button" is a switch, but it has never moved up and down. This particular vehicle does not have the little reset button like newer models have.
I would greatly appreciate any help or ideas.
Thank you.
