1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2025

My alternator was overcharging my battery, replaced both. Still having an overcharging "sweating battery" issue. The vehicle has suddenly died at low speed, but was able to start. The check engine light comes on and goes off, sometimes it is off for weeks, other times for a day, the code it sets is always different, even for components that have been replaced. Tells me I have a large leak , a small leak in the evap, egr is shorted to ground, ait is out of spec, etc. Now my transmission has shifted from fifth to third back to fifth to fourth, all while at low speed in cruise control. The speedometer, while in cruise control, will jump to 3000rpm, down to 1500, and between all at the same speed.

3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/09/2019

My 2007 Dodge Durango limited has been having an issue where the 4x4 keeps turning itself on without me actually engaging it. Ive been having a very huge with solving the issue but I was able to read a forum which stated that I should fill out this form. This issue happens when the vehicle is parked, in motion, or when I hit the unlock button on the key pad.

4 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/14/2019

Vehicle is switching into 4wd low while in motion. I have also heard the actuator activating while the vehicle is not running and without the key in the ignition. I believe this to be an electrical issue based on research that appears to be happening in multiple vehicles for Dodge. I am concerned that the system could change into 4wd or 4wd lock at a highway speeds causing dangerous and unsafe driving conditions.

5 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/28/2019

While driving the Durango stalls and loses all powere. Normally happens when showing down. The Durango does not start up right away and headlights and hazard lights stop working. The other day it stalled at 5am in the morning while cross a busy traffic light. It was dark and the hazards and headlights did not work. I was scared someone would hit me. It started up about 6 minutes later which felt like a lifetime. This Durango has always had a history of staling and starting back up but this was the first time I realized how much of a safety issue this was due to having no lights or hazards and being stuck in the middle of a traffic light.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2018

While vehicle is on the dashboard lights up with every light. It also says no fuse when the odometer is. All the gauges stop working and the air controls dont work which mean no hot or cold air at all. This happen when stationary and in motion.

7 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

While moving or at rest, activating turn signals to turn right, it rarely signals. While activating left turn signal, the right will blink the majority of he time. At times the correct direction will blink and then change directions before the turn is made and sometimes after the turn is made. When wipers are on highest setting they will not work unless I turn on the high beams. When switching from hi to low beams the wiper fluid will dispense. Cruise control suddenly also does not work. Power windows will randomly go up or down completely on their own when attempting to put them up or down just a little or just quit working completely at times.

12 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2013

While driving my 2007 Dodge Durango, the left turn signal, when applied, will flash in the cab and on the outside of the vehicle as right. It will malfunction from time to time by flashing back and forth left to right. Sometimes it will not work at all. For awhile it will work then the turn signal will start to flash in the wrong direction. This is very dangerous and places my family in serious danger of getting into an accident. The fuses and relays are working fine. The bulbs are fresh and new. This problem is from another failure.

13 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2013

My 2007 Durango has developed a turn signal problem where when the left turn signal is triggered, the right signal actually is operated indicated by inside and outside lights. This is verified by irate drivers letting me know!! this is a very serious safety problem and I can't believe there is no recall on this!.

14 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2011

Constant problems with turn signals failing to work properly. Sometimes they will blink for a second or two and other times they will not work at all or even blink in the opposite direction. This is a considerable highway safety hazard and could lead to a severe traffic crash. This has been occurring inconsistently over the past year or so. There have also been numerous instances when the power windows would not work properly and also when you would try to use the high beam headlights it would cause the windshield washer fluid to activate and not dim or engage the high beam headlights.

15 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2011

Turn signals began malfunctioning, and still are. When applying the left turn signal, nothing comes on. When applying the right turn signal, the left comes on. The windshield wipers come on sporadically, and will only go to a maximum speed of about 2 wipes per minute when they work at all. Bright lights will not come on at all, and when I depress the lever to turn them on, the wiper fluid squirts onto the windshield. The door locks also intermittently lock and unlock ten or fifteen times in a row by themselves at random times, both in idle and while in drive at various speeds.

16 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2011

I will be driving and my 4wd lock will engage without me turning it on causing my tires to stick to the road. It prevents me from turning my steering wheel without the car acting like it is going tip over. It seems like the same problem that was experienced with the 2006 Dodge Durangos.

17 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2010

No incident to report. Turn signal malfunctioned when signaling left turn. Both signals flashed.

18 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2010

2007 Dodge Durango limited, I'm having a issue with the blinkers. When you turn on to go left the blinker blinks right. To go right it goes left or completely stops working period. I've been told that it could possibly be the multi function switch. I took it to the Dodge dealership but at the moment the problem didn't exist. Therefore couldn't fix the problem. This is dangerous not to mention you get many ticked off drivers that don't understand what your doing. It makes me nervous to drive or come up to intersections. I have to very careful and make sure the blinker is blinking the right way so I don't cause an accident. I don't understand what the problem is or why I can months with out an issue and a day or two with problems.

19 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2010

When using the blinker it commonly flashes the opposite direction being turned. Also frequently the windshield wipers will stop working and/or go from a fast setting to a slow setting.

20 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2007

1. Passenger front window goes down by itself when driving as though someone has pushed the auto down control - but this is not the case. Have taken it to the dealer 3 times to be fixed. They said they reset the controls. It is happening again. I am now also experiencing issues with putting the vehicle in reverse. The car starts backing up then the goes into neutral automatically.
