1 Turn Signal problem of the 2019 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 03/14/2021

While changing both of the front turn signal bulbs for the 2nd time, in less than a year of ownership, I decided to check for burnt / broken filaments. The right side bulb filament was broken. Then I noticed that both bulbs had burned connector prongs at the base of the bulb (see photos), where they plug into the socket. I could not see if there was any of the same damage to the sockets. Both replacement bulbs are working properly at this time.

2 Turn Signal problem of the 2015 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 01/05/2021

I have contacted fca (fiat Chrysler of America) about the highly common issue with the tail lamp issue on my vehicle as well as many others having the exact same issue. In cold temperatures my center �track bar� and passenger tail lamp don't turn on whatsoever including the led brake light or turn signal on the one side. When they do decide to work the bottom corners of the �track bar� appear out and this is due to a highly common issue of the tail lamp assemblies being poorly sealed at the factory allowing water/moisture to make its way in causing the lights to fog up and eventually fail. This can be very easily looked into and verified on multiple forums, customers of the vehicle or even youtube videos addressing this. They need to issue a recall on this addressing this issue as I've been pulled over once due to this issue and almost rear ended at night due to the other driver being unable to see my vehicle with the lights out.

3 Turn Signal problem of the 2017 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 10/09/2020

The left turn signal and the back track light go out at the same time intermittently. Also the stop and start function is still not working correctly and I had it at the dealer, dutchess Dodge 2x's now. 1st time they stated the stop/ start battery and the 2nd time they replaced the cel and still having issues with not working correctly. I have only had this truck since October. There's no way I should be having these issues. There is definitely going on with this truck and not sure why there is not a recall. When I was driving and made a stop the start/stop function started working but then the left turn signal and the back track light stopped working . The first day I got the truck home the start/stop function was not working but the turn signal and track light were fine. I purchased the truck and it had 70751 miles on it. The stop start/ stop function was not working from the day I purchase it and then cam one problem after another.

Light assembly on rear hatch does not seal properly allowing for water to penetrate and retain in light housing, causing turn signals to short and fail.

5 Turn Signal problem of the 2017 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 10/03/2019

Front driver side turn signal intermittently stopped working a couple months ago. It eventually stayed out. Thinking the bulb was bad, both front turn signal bulbs were replaced with leds. A few days ago, the issue resurfaced and continues to intermittently work. This happens randomly while moving or stationary. I have seen others post of this same issue and I feel it is a safety issue and should be recalled for repair at no owners expense.

6 Turn Signal problem of the 2015 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 10/02/2019

My left turn signal went out, so I replaced both my left and right turn signals. My vehicle now registers that my right turn signal is out constantly, even though it is operating properly and my left turn signal does the same periodically. Since my purchase of this vehicle, I have had issues with the navigation not functioning properly. The radio display itself has a mind of it's own, this is how you operate most of the vehicles climate functions, back up camera, navigation and radio. When the vehicle comes on, it is supposed to turn on. However more often than not, it chooses to be off, and I have to wait for it to decide to turn on. If I do not have the a/c know turned off when it does this, both my front and rear defrosters will turn on full blast until the display chooses to operate properly. I have had this system updated with a usb drive at a dealership and nothing has changed. Overtly, I am not at all satisfied with how these electrical issues continue and there seems to be no resolve.

7 Turn Signal problem of the 2015 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 07/08/2019

Problem with front turn signal message not working, changed bulbs but still getting the message this is an issue not knowing if turn signals are working.

8 Turn Signal problem of the 2017 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 05/01/2019

The turn signal stopped working for a few days; then it started back working for about a week. The first time it happened I was stationary at a light waiting to turn. Then it stopped working again, so I took my vehicle in to get it fixed. The front part of my air conditioning stopped working on numerous occasions. It stops, then I drive and happen to hit uneven road and it would jump back on. At the moment it is not working. The front section of the air conditioning breaks down out of nowhere, but this has never happened to the back portion of my air conditioning. This occurrence happens when stationary, or when the vehicle is in motion.

22 Turn Signal problem of the 1999 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 05/06/2009

When I turn on my headlights the instrument cluster, panel, lights go out the turn signal arrows light up. At night this is very dangerous as you can not see how fast you are going and also if any of the warning lights were to come on you would not know because you can't see them as they do not light up. This is also a problem during the day because of the instrument lights are out. When I crank car the chimes do not always sound. I am getting shocked when I stop turn off car and get out and touch the door to close it.

25 Turn Signal problem of the 2017 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 01/10/2002

I noticed that the front left turn signal quit working. I assumed it was a burnt-out bulb. In searching on the internet for a "how-to" for replacing this bulb (it's in pretty cramped quarters), I found that it was common for the turn signals to work intermittently for this vehicle and several model years before and after it. Further, there was a diagnosis of burnt contacts that were the culprit. In removing the bulb, it appeared to be not burnt out, but the contact was burnt. I replaced it and the next day it failed to work again. Now it and the other one work intermittently. In removing them, I find that the contact in the receptacle is also burnt. I feel that this is a prevalent problem on this vehicle model (given the internet complaints), and that this is a safety issue. Further, I am required (for safety reasons) to have functioning turn signals on this vehicle. I contacted the dealer and they claim that there are no outstanding recalls on this vehicle. Beyond that they refused to commit to whether this was a known problem or if there was a known solution.
