1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2017

My dash panel lights do not work. There was a recall on other models of my year but my VIN was included. This needs to bee looked at.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2013

The dash board lights/ warning lights go off and on, and the odometer and rpm gauges bounce from zero to like 5000 rpm while driving. The ac and radio and dvd and navigation all shut off and on also while driving. I took it to crown motors om June 21 and had a diagnostic tests ran and nothing came up all was fine. They told me to bring it back in when it did it and to leave it run when I go inside to let them know. I took back down there on June 24 as it was doing it all again. They immediately took it back to the shop and stated you definitely have something wrong. They told after an hour that they could only get the reading up to the ecm and anything after that it is not showing up that it is dead. They called the lead engineer at Dodge to try and find a solution. I talked to them on June 25 and still no answer. They told me they had to put $10 in gas and was going to charge that to me as they lost the signal to diagnostic sue to turning the vehicle off. They drove around four different times to try and reestablish the problem and has not happened. I called them today June 27,2013 and told I could come and pick up the vehicle as they can not get the vehicle to do the problems again to reestablish the connections. They also said if it happens again to just bring it back over so they can reestablish the connection for the problems. I know that there has been recalls for the electrical system on these vehicles. They dealer told they were all closed out and my vehicle was not one of them. Still have not resolve the problems with my 2006 Durango. I do not feel comfortable driving my family around in it due to a possible fire like some have had or the engine shutting off going down the highway.

3 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2012

Interior lights never go off and has arecall. The dealership tells me it takes seven days to get the part and have it programmed. This is unaceptable since this is my only transportation. This vehicle also has three other recalls that the dealership didn't tell me about. I think they are making this difficult so that customers will not get thier recalls done. There is also a recall on a suspension part that could cause an crash- wipers and lights- and filling the gas tank is a royal pain in the . . . . . . . . The fuel spits back out at you before your tank is full. These are all safety hazards that Dodge needs to address with no cost or inconvienance for the owner. If these recalls are not repaired there is a reasonable chance that life threatening events could occur. Not sure why the Dodge company allows these dealerships to do this to thier customer. I suggest that every person who has had problems complain to the company as well as this site ------- may be someone will do something.
