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.
Approached intersection to turn left, had left turn signal on, looked at insturmentation right turn signal was flashing.moved directional lever to right flash position, left signal started flashing, at the same time, wipers that were on delay, went to hi speed, with loss of all switch control. Had to turn off vehicle, and apon restart both systems returned to normal operation, this was ona dark rainy night, there is cause for concern.since I expierenced this 2 weeks earlier. And I have witnesses! and can't trust this vehicle
I turned on my right blinker and my left blinker was on instead. This has happened several times. I turn one blinker on and the opposite blinker is what come on inside and out. This is very unsafe and could cause an accident. There should be a safety recall on this.
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!
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.

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.
When activating the turn signal to the left, the indicator will come on and within a few seconds, will start flashing to the right instead of the left. At times, it will jump back and forth between the right and left indicators, and sometimes not turn on at all. As of 1-2-3-2011, they are totally inoperative.
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.
