Transmission Problems???
I need some help with a problem on my 2005 Durango! This is what happened to me today:
Drove down my street and turned into my (long) driveway when the engine made a whining noise and the car lost all of it's power. I barely rolled up in front of my garage. Now the car acts like it is in neutral! It starts fine but makes a whining noise and the shifter shifts just fine but the car won't move. Tried to shift in D,R,1&2 but nothing happens.
No warning lights came on and I need to know what to expect before calling the tow truck tomorrow to have it towed to the shop.
Any input would be appreciated! I found several posts in other forums where owners describe dthe same problem but no answers were posted.

How many miles on your D and which engine? If you are under 70k miles and have the 7/70 power train warranty in effect, your dealer will pay the tow and repair it for $100!
These symptoms are classic of a failed torque convertor. The 05 D we have at work did the same thing at 62k miles, and a new TC was the ticket.

Hi Mario:
Lots of driveline related things can give you a vibration.
At 120K, you could have a wheel bearing or U joint on its way out.
Also, a tire out of balance as well as a broken (or breaking) belt in the tire could cause this also.
Please describe in more detail when and how this vibration is presenting itself?

The best way I can describe it, is before it vibrates the rpm gauge drops and then it. Vibrates but it's a strong vibration almost like if something was about to fall off. I've check u-joints and they are fine and I've heard alot about these torque converts going out, fluid is fine also. I really don't know any other way to describe it
