About a year ago, the passenger side head light started malfunctioning. It would turn on and then turn off without triggering a warning or announcement of the outage. I replaced it at a cost of about $400. Now, the driver's side headlight is having the same failure without there being a warning or announcement of the issue and I'm having to spend another $400 to get it replaced. It is clearly a defective part and I'm furious that these lights are so costly to replace. I thought leds were supposed to be much longer lasting. I don't want to get pulled over for having a headlight out. Dodge needs to have a reliable and safe product. This is safety issue.

While driving my vehicle at 60 mph my lights started to flicker on and off. Eventually they stopped but the driver side headlight had never came back on. I replaced the bulb and still nothing. Being on the highways I felt I was causing distractions to other drivers from my headlights malfunctioning and putting myself in danger without having the proper lighting to drive safely.

69000 miles, check engine light came on. Codes p0440 was thrown 2x. I already replaced purge valve at my own cost. I also informed Dodge. They won't fix it unless I pay for diagnosis. Which I already had one done. Also headlight bulb dropped at 38k miles and I informed Dodge and mechanic. She said I didn't have the warranty on it and they wouldn't replace unless I paid full cost.

The driver side headlight went out. My car was still under warranty so I took it in for service. They informed me that the whole headlight assembly had to be replaced because the ballest was bad which caused the bulb to blow. Within two or three weeks the passanger side one went out and was told the same thing. The car wasn't under the manufacture warranty at that point so ended up costing me money to replace it. This is clearly a fault in the design because there was another customer there that had the very same issue. Both lights when you started the car the light would flash on and then after starting to drive the light would then go out.

The passenger side headlight lens fogs up with excess moisture/water and decreases visibility. The only way to temporarily fix it is to remove a bulb and let it dry out. This occurs when the vehicle is stationary and/or in motion.

First my driver side headlight went out. Replaced the bulb an it still does not work. It not the fuse or connector either. Then my passager side taillight an my lift gate light do not work. Bought new taillight an plugged it in an still not working. It's not the fuse or connector so I don't know what else to do.

Same as Feb 2015 recall. Fuel relay replaced June 2019. As of July 9 2019 back in shop for tipm issues and replacement. After 4 days and a 3hr diagnostic study it was determined that the timp would need to be replaced and possible other modules. Vehicle originally had starting problem. Once fuel relay was replaced that ended. Then vehicle started but all dash lighting and error messages started flashing stating fcw was off, showed hill ascent indicator, showed brake indicator neither were on, showed service engine indicator and others. Wipers would randomly swipe even though they were off. Warning bell would randomly ding as if the seat belt was not fastened. It was. Headlights would randomly flash and the doors would unlock (this problem has been happening for 3-4 yrs but service would say to check key fob battery or possible interference of something else. Did drive vehicle to work approx 4 miles and home the first day of problem. Next day vehicle went straight to dealership approx 8 miles away. Still there 4 days later. Not repaired. Apparently my VIN is not part of original recall and now I will have to pay a minimum of $1560. 00 for repairs in addition to the $472. 00 I spent on the fuel relay.

I have 2013 Dodge Durango sxt and I bout it from mike alberts dealership in cincinnati, ohio. A little over a year I bought it, it started having issues with the truck cutting off when I hit bumps. The headlights keep going out, I have to replace the the bulbs and then finally replaced the harness that house the bulbs because the original one was fried. Over time the ones that I bout are beginning to burn as well causing the bulbs to go out. When I take the truck back to the dealership, they say they have can't figure out what the issue is when it comes to the truck cutting off. It's a safety hazard for my family driving that truck and I'm sure it wouldn't look nice on y�all end if I was to get into an accident with this vehicle if it stalls on me.

Headlights are unsafe. Driving on low setting beams fall just in front of bumper. On high beams aimed at high trees.

Car not starting acts like not getting any fuel or may start and die like not getting enough fuel. Auto headlights will shut off while driving or may not come on at all.

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.

My headlights and interior lights started blinking accompanied by a clicking sound coming from the left side of the steering panel. The windshield wipers also do not work unless put on high, and the gas light sound beeps every 20-30 seconds continuously until gas is put in. The beeping sound for the gas light will stop once refilled but lights continue to blink, interior and exterior while vehicle is in motion. I have done research on this problem and it seems like every other person with a 2003 Dodge Durango is experiencing the exact same problem but Dodge refuses to recall the part, saying it was fixed, which is the ctm module causing this problem, when taken into a dealership it is the ctm that needs to be fixed and is absurd that more vehicles have not been recalled for this problem when every single one is experiencing the exact same problems.

Water is getting under the cowl and onto my motor. I have taken my 2004 hemi Durango to several shops/dealers and the water is causing all kinds of problems. The cylinders are misfiring, some of the metal parts under the hood have rusted irreparably (ie. Motor heat guards), the windshield gets ice on the inside of the vehicle, my headlights blink on and off while driving, the heat works only sometimes due to the wires under the passenger side dash getting wet, and this water getting through is also causing my car to stall or almost stall every time it rains or take it through a car wash. This water is causing electrical problems. It is also rusting horribly fast near the wheel wells and on the back trunk hatch. Within only 2 weeks of cold weather I now have a solid hole from the rust. Why can't they recall some parts and fix this? the dealer is no help, they only want to charge me huge amounts of money to repair problems that were factory defects.

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.

Dodge should be made to issue a vehicle recall to fix this unsafe blinking headlight problem.
