1 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 04/28/2016

One day I was out shopping parked my car got out tried to lock doors they would lock unless I manually did it. The next day I noticed my headlights, inside lights, windshield wipers, and volume control on staring wheel would not work. That same day when I started my car it started great as always but there was a clicking noise on the driver side by the front wheel. I took it to midas they diagnosed it and fixed it, 3 days later my car did the same thing he told me to take it to the Dodge dealer. I've tried they wont call back! now there is a red security light that came on and wont go off even when the car engine is off. After 4 days of my car being parked with the security light on my car is now dead. I've read online that its a alarm system and I need a key to program it. I bought my car used from the dealer and did not receive an alarm key, alarm key pad or even a spare key fir my car. I see a lot of reviews online about this issue, this has been going on for 1 month or longer now. I believe its a factory issue. Im still going to contact the dealer and get an appointment to get y car fixed.

2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2015

Headlights, overhead dome, instrument lights all flash on and off when headlights are turned on which is impossible to drive at night without serious being a serious major safety hazard. Checked forum for Dodge products, there is also a service bulletin in your database there are many complaints of people with the same malfunction, and mechanics told everyone same thing power train or body control module (bcm).

4 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2011

The headlights on my 2001 Dodge Durango blink on and off when they are turned on. This problem renders the vehicle inoperable to drive at night. I read on the internet that thousands of other drivers have also experienced this problem. It has something to do with the central timer module. Dodge should be made to issue a vehicle recall to fix this unsafe blinking headlight problem.

5 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2010

2001 Durango had headlight and windshield wiper failure at night in the rain at 60 miles an hour. The central timing module went out. We couldn't see to drive and oncoming drivers couldn't see us. Its was like being blindfolded. You cant navigate the highway without having the ability to see. The NHTSA was notified, and they told me that unless an investigator finds a trend, they cant issue a recall. Upon looking at their website I have found over 100 complaints for this. . . Which to me is a trend. I guess someone has to die before this will be taken seriously. I called the Dodge corp. Office and they are aware of the issue but until the NHTSA makes them recall, they wont. Shame on Dodge and the NHTSA for not fixing the defect. This is not an inconvenience defect, this is a safety defect. If you have problems with your lights,wipers, electrical system please post complaint so that the NHTSA will finally see a trend. This potentially fatal defect must be recognized! please involve your local media if you get no response with the NHTSA. The time for bailouts to the car company's' is over if they aren't required to manufacture a safe product! the NHTSA said they receive over 500 complaints a day. With that many complaints could they be missing this defect trend? it is time to check into the electrical,transmission, and seat belt issues that Dodge is having. The NHTSA should be doing all they can to avoid innocent deaths from the neglect of greedy car manufacturers. Driving without windshield wipers or headlights=death!.
