2022 Durango GT Plus AWD Shifter Lever - Clicky Noise / Slack in the Thumb Button
I have been blessed that I was able to acquire a brand new 2022 Dodge Durango GT Plus AWD with the 3.6L V6 Pentastar engine back in March. As you can imagine, I do care about my vehicle quite a lot. Some may file this post under "OCD," and I can't blame you, I am OCD about my Durango.
It's funny that today I noticed the unusual wear that you see on the shifter button in the picture. It looks like it's rubbing on something inside every time that it's pressed. I to a new microfiber rag and was able to wipe off the plastic dust. Then I pressed the button a few times and I noticed that new dust lines started forming. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?
I probably pressed the button a bit harder than usual today while picking up my son from church. I was tired and in a hurry. Of course, I was worried. That's when I looked at it closer and noticed the plastic dust from rubbing. It also has a little bit of slack before pushing it in and makes a clicking noise. Even when the vehicle is off and the shifter is in the Park position, when you can't push the **** in to shift, it still has that slack and makes a clicking sound right before it stops. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?
I had to take the picture while flashing an LED flashlight on the shifter for the plastic dust to be visible, otherwise, you won't really notice it unless you look closely.
I am just wondering if it's one of those wonderful quality control issues or if I did something wrong. It seems like no matter how careful we are around these vehicles, things happen. Or maybe I just love my Durango too much, I don't know.
