2001 Durango 5. 9 r/t, head lights, interior lights, doors locks intermittently worked and then failed. The solution was to replace the ignition switch and the central timer module ( body control module). The module was then reprogrammed. According to the mechanic this is a common problem and was the subject of a recalled in latter year models. This is extremely dangerous when driving a night and the head lights go out.
I was entering the free way on 05/10 and my car died. It would not accelerate or move at all. I was towed to the dealer and they repaired it. They said that the computer died and they had to order a new computer. After receiving it back on 05/18 I drove it for 5 days and then on may 23 the car died in the middle of an intersection. It is now at the Dodge dealer where they are waiting for a part.
