- the contact owns a 2003 Dodge Durango with a current and failure mileage of 34,500. The contact was driving at 60 mph under normal dry conditions when the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that when the stalling occurred all of the instrument panel lights turned on, and the door chime started to buzz. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road without a crash. Since the stalling the windows failed, they did not go up or down, the windshield wipers and headlights worked intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer, and the dealer could not tell them why the failure occurred.
While driving the vehicle will switch into four wheel low. The indicator light flashes as if it is in four low. The last time we were traveling 35 miles per hour and it happened. I've read about the variety of electrical problems and believe this is one more. The key fobs quit working and we had a strange "P D one" message flash on the odometer. It has been to the dealer three separate times and they have told us we were switching the knob. They won't believe us because they can't make it happen. This, along with the transmission and other electrical complaints make me think these are very unsafe vehicles to be on the road.
All lighting on my 2003 Dodge Durango except hazard and brake lights failed at the same time. This includes all interior lighting, headlights, fog lights and running lamps. No fuses blown. Discussion with Dodge dealership revealed that this is common problem and is caused by failure of the headlight switch unit on the dashboard. Further investigation on message boards also revealed that this is common problem, along with the wiring harness to the switch assembly which becomes hot and melts.
