I have a 2001 Dodge Durango RT. This morning I started my vehicle, put it in gear, it made a loud noise and it won't move backward or forward. I called the dealer and they said it might be the shifting solenoid or control module. Yes? No? What do you think?

Thank you

I would suggest taking it to the repair shop for an estimate, they will tell you everything that is wrong. These links may help but I am not sure:

it is an exhaust leak

By run - do you mean it dies when you put it in gear? Or that it just bogs down when you attempt to accelerate or drive away?

A plugged Catalytic converter will cause this. So will a Bad MAP or MAS (Mas Air ) sensor. So will a bad TPS (Throttle Position) sensor.

Need more input to answer more precisely.

most likely if this happened all of a sudden your gear shift cable is bad or had become detached if the shift er inside the truck feels very easy to move between gears it is the cable and the track has not showed signs of a bad transmission in the recent past see link Dodge Durango shift cable the easiest way to repair Kit includes...

The upper and lower ball joints need to be replaced

If the seat has recline and forward, backward controls and you can do nothing at all. Then I would say you may have blown a fuse. I would check the fuse box. If you lost only recline or only forward & backward then it may be a bad motor. It can also be a motor if you lost both but both motors going bad at the same time is unlikely.

I have the same thing. Any answer yet?

Transmission problem most likely the planetary gears are gone.
