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.

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.

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).

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 .

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.

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.
