2001 Dodge Durango Lighting problems

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 dodge durango. While driving various speeds and making a right turn, the vehicle pulled to the right and a cracking sound was heard from the front suspension. The contact indicated that the cracking noise was caused by faulty ball joints. In addition, the brake lights would not illuminate and the light bulb and socket was replaced on several different occasions. Also, the plenum gasket leaked oil from the engine, which caused the engine to lose power. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 134,000.

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...

Driving down the road and all of the sudden all lights interior and exterior are blinking off and on like in rapid succession. I have a seizure disorder and strobe/flickering lights are a trigger. This is extremely dangerous. Along with further investigation myself and my mechanic figured out it is the ctm which is not uncommon because there are hundreds of complaints about this and I've already dumped hundreds of dollars into this repair!

Headlights, overhead dome, instrument lights all flash on and off when headlights are turned on which is impossible to drive at night without serious being a serious major safety hazard. Checked forum for dodge products, there is also a service bulletin in your database there are many complaints of people with the same malfunction, and mechanics told everyone same thing power train or body control module (bcm). *Tr

While driving my 2001 dodge durango my dash lights and exterior lights flash on and off.This problem also happens when the vehicle is parked and unattended. *Tr

While driving on the freeway my headlights started flickering" on and off as well as my dashboard lights..When I applied the brakes they also seem to blink on/off . I exited the expressway fearing the car would shut off and cause crash..Now I fear driving after dark. It has happened several times again but short distance from my home ,i turned the a/c/off and the light failure seems to stop..I googled my problem and it seems a dodge problem still unresolved.My car has less than 50,000 miles n never had problems except for brakes..After reading most of complaints I feel it is a defective electrical factory problem . *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 dodge durango. The contact stated that while stopped at a traffic stop, the headlights and all of the lights on the dashboard stopped illuminating. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 173,000.

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. I read on the internet that thousands of other drivers have also experienced this problem. It has something to do with the central timer module. Dodge should be made to issue a vehicle recall to fix this unsafe blinking headlight problem. *Tr

Headlights flashing: high beam to low beam, windshield wipers not working, variety of warning lights coming on and off during driving:security, low wiper fluid, service 4wd, engine light, interior lights coming on during driving, I am told it is the central timing module and have spoken with many having same prob. *Tr

I have a 2001 dodge durango and the interior panel and exterior lights flicker intermittently. I can also hear a relay switch click when the lights flash on and off. It is dangerous as I cannot drive at night.

I was driving home from work one night, it was raining, when my headlights, wipers, and dashboard just went out. I pulled over in a parking lot, shut off the engine waiting a couple of minutes and turned it back on and they still wouldn't work. I can not drive my car at night or when it is raining, or even lock my doors. They tried replacing the ignition switch and still no lights. *Tr

2001 Durango had headlight and windshield wiper failure at night in the rain at 60 miles an hour. The central timing module went out. We couldn't see to drive and oncoming drivers couldn't see us. Its was like being blindfolded. You cant navigate the highway without having the ability to see.The nhtsa was notified, and they told me that unless an investigator finds a trend, they cant issue a recall. Upon looking at their website I have found over 100 complaints for this... Which to me is a trend. I guess someone...

My 2001 dodge durango started having problems with interior lights, dash lights, intermittent wipers, door locks not operating, the 4-wheel drive light on, and headlights not working. Checked all fuses and all were good. Disconnected/reconnected battery and all returned to normal. Two days later, while my 16 y/o son was driving the vehicle, the interior and dash lights (later to learn the headlights) were flickering on and off. I took it for a test ride and all seemed normal for first few miles, when suddenly...

Not sure exactly when the last failure was because I don't travel "all" the time... But when I do... Sometimes the emergency flashers come on by themselves and cannot be turned off. This is not good while traveling down the interstate highways. The flasher switch does not work any longer and the flashers cannot be turned off. I hear clicking noises under the dash and have even tried pullling fuses... You cannot turn the emergency flashers off. My destination is about 250 miles away and when this does happens,...

In march of 2001 I bought a 2001 dodge durango 4x4 the first year was great , then despite the fact that I took my vehicle in evey 3000 mi.

Consumer complained about upper and lower ball joints failure. This problem was diagnosed when the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for an inspection. *Ak the brake bulb light was replaced and the front shocks were replaced. *Jb

I heard about upper control arm failure. I had mine checked my mechanic stated right side upper showed signs of wear & should be replaced. Waiting to see if recall is forthcoming. Noticed power steering was hard to turn also a rattle in the steering wheel if shook side to side fastly (cause worn steering column and box). Light selector switch burned out. Had to replace the switch module.

Consumer stated that when they use the turn signal the hazards lights would come on causing a distraction to the consumer. Dealer notified. Mr
