2004 Dodge Durango lights complaints

Water is getting under the cowl and onto my motor. I have taken my 2004 hemi durango to several shops/dealers and the water is causing all kinds of problems. The cylinders are misfiring, some of the metal parts under the hood have rusted irreparably (ie. Motor heat guards), the windshield gets ice on the inside of the vehicle, my headlights blink on and off while driving, the heat works only sometimes due to the wires under the passenger side dash getting wet, and this water getting through is also causing my car to stall or almost stall every time it rains or take it through a car wash. This water is causing electrical problems. It is also rusting horribly fast near the wheel wells and on the back trunk hatch. Within only 2 weeks of cold weather I now have a solid hole from the rust. Why can't they recall some parts and fix this? The dealer is no help, they only want to charge me huge amounts of money to repair problems that were factory defects.
03/15/20013 I and my son were getting out of the winn dixie, a heavy spoke coming out of the panel. I called fire dept. And triple a to pick up the vehicle, the vehicle shot down complete after that. Wiper when off and light . 03/19/13 for the 2nd time, I took the vehicle to the dealer as per chrysler instructions ( miami lakes auto mall) to repair the recall g07 back in 2009 or 2010 that was perform there. 03/20/2013 they called from the dealer to pick up the vehicle. When I went to pick up, they told me, they brought the wrong parts with a huge miles they need it to return same and request another one. They didn't knew the miles they put me 94,000 something miles without confirm with us. The assistant service manager was very un professional, he told me that was the computer in other words they didn't knew. At that time they told us me and my husband that the only thing that they found on the car was the brake pad and some other parts that they inform us that needs repair in future date. If we want they can do it for $800.00, we told no thanks, we will repair same issue when we can. 03/25/2013 the dealer calls us to pick up the car, however the lights on the panel are not working. I explain the dealer & chrysler how I can drive a car without seeing the miles that I'm going or anything else. That?s not safe for me or the consumers. Of course they don't care, they told me to pay them the repair or drive the vehicle. Which I don't agree cause the vehicle was working fine. What the dealer & chrysler want is the consumer to pay for the parts that they didn't fix the first time. Something needs to be done before someone is hurt badly.
When the multifunction turn signal switch is used, the vehicle intermittently activates the opposite direction instrument cluster light and exterior turn signal lamps. The exact same problem, symptoms and part number involved for the 2004 dodge durango slt exhibits same symptoms and involves the same part that the federal safety agency action number pe08059 report date of november 12, 2012 references which has resulting in an factory extended recall for dodge/ ram 3500 which use the exact same turn signal multi switch part number involved in the above stated recall. With countless reports of this multiswitch incorrectly illuminating the opposite intended turning direction. This defective switch creates a great danger and potential disaster for many on the roadway.

When activating the left blinker signal, the right blinker signal activates spontaneously. Sometimes for an extended period of time and causes other driver's to think im turning or switching lane's to the right instead of left. This is very dangerous and has already caused some near accident's.
Driving down the road and all the lights on the vehicle went out during night driving. Got stopped by police because not having any lights. Had vehicle in repair shop for approximately 4 weeks and the problem still exists. Have replace the front control module for $450.00 and a new light switch for approximately $60.00. Did not resolve the problem. Had the fuse box under the hood replaced and it resolved the problem.

I own a 2004 dodge durango that has a safety recall on it in 2007-2008 for a potential fire in the cluster panel. I experienced a problem with the interior lights and hatch light not going and brought it to a dodge dealer to have it looked at. The service mgr told me that it was the cluster panel (which was the recall on this vehicle) that had to be done again. Now chrysler no longer has the part and due the potential fire hazard the vehicle can not be driven (all stated in the earlier g07 safety recall. I have put 10 phone calls into the dodge cust service line and have heard no response from them. Please let me know if you can be of any help or perhaps direct me to someone who can. I have 2 small children and this is my only means of transportation. Thank you
Our 2004 dodge durangos interior and exterior lights flash on and off intermittently. It happened only a few times in the beginning, but as we were traveling it did it more continuously on and off. During the day it was not as noticeable, but as night falls and you are driving everything goes dark for a few seconds, we have a problem. Afraid to drive at night. Asked dodge about it and they say if it doesn't happen where they can see it there is nothing that can be done. There are only 42,000 miles on our vehicle. Checked recalls and they say we are up to date on all recalls.
I bought my 2004 dodge durango in 2005 january with 666 miles on the truck. The first year I had no problems at all until about march 2006 I was driving from washington state to california when I notice the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealership and had it cut off in california. Well, on my way back to washington state after a week I notice the check engine light came back on I took it back to the dealership for repair. The dealership cut off the light and told me there was a recall out on the 2004 dodge durango to fix the instrument panel. So I took the 2004 dodge durango back in to fix the recall problem and they said it was fixed. Well, in the summer of 2006 I was driving my 2004 dodge durango when the lights starts to go off and on while I was on the highway. It was raining hard and then my check engine light comes on again, so I just left the light on. Now I'm driving around in my 2004 dodge durango in the rain when I go to put gas in it when I stop. All of a sudden all my interior lights starts to go on and off with my headlights going off and on. The windshield wipers did not work so I cut the vehicle off for a minute. When I turn on the vehicle I could not move it out of park and all the lights was on. So, I left the vehicle there in a parking spot and walk back to work. I later came back to the vehicle about 2 hours later and I started up the vehicle and the gear shift worked. So I drove back to my office and use the computer to see if anyone else was having these types of problems and what do you know I'm not the only one. I took it to the dealership like I was told by headquarters and they gave me some paperwork to go to me local dodge dealership. The dealership made me pay for a diagnostic on my vehicle and said it was from water intrusion in the junction block and my warrant does not cover it. Headquarters told me to open a blog and try to get a recall started. But in the mean time call your insurance company. Lives are at stake.
2004 dodge durango interior lights would not go off. Next morning went to start the truck smoke and then flames engulfed the trucks had to call 911 to have fire put out. I was told by local dealer after recall came out not to worry about the recall that it was a pain to change the part out and that they never saw any problems with any of the ones they had changed before.
Our 2004 dodge durango seems to have a problem with its ctm unit. The interior lights will not turn off properly. I have found numerous instances of this same problem in my searching the internet. This unit should be recalled by dodge since the previous model year had a problem with the same ctm component.

Dome light only turn on when they want to some times in the middle of going down a road.
On saturday 2/16, the dome lights were not dimming and going out and there was a slight smell of hot wires. By sunday the smell was very intense. We left he car parked and planned on getting it to the dealer on monday. Monday morning I went out and started the truck to let it warm up before I took it to the dealer. I went back inside for a couple minutes. While I was inside, a neighbor rang the door bell and told me that the car was on fire. I called the fire department they came and extinguished the fire. We had the fire inspector come out so we could have a report on file. Both the fire investigator and the insurance claims agent felt that the fire was caused by the wiring under the dash. The car was a total loss with a gaping hole straight through the dash, behind the instrument cluster and the interior completely gone.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 dodge durango. The interior dome lights remained illuminated at all times, including when the enginewas off. The dealer was unable to determine the reason the lights remained illuminated. The manufacturer informed the contact that there recall 07v092000 for the interior lighting. However, this vehicle was not a part of the recall. The contact stated vehicle had same prob lem as indicated in the recall. The current and failure mileage was 60,000.
04 dodge durango hot electrical smell under the dash. Heating and cooling control lights don't work and interior lights when don't work correctly, hatch door light stays on all the time, I had to pull the bulb out, drains battery. Cd player don't work properly. Recall campain id number 03v528000. When I contacted chysler the said that my VIN number was not on the recall list.
Headlights and parking (marker) lights go off while driving. Tail lights do not go off. Fog lights, if switched on, stay on (fortunately!!!) very intermittent, dealer "cannot reproduce the problem", have had it in the shop 6-7 times since 9/28, cannot fix. Very hazardous situation while driving at night. So far, no accidents, just a matter of time....
Dt: contact's vehicle did not have any brake lights and it resulted in an accident. The contact's vehicle was not involved in the accident, but the vehicle behind did not realize contact was topping due to not have any brake lights, causing another vehicle to hit it. Consumer did not know she did not have any brake lights or how long she had been driving without brake lights. Consumer did not know why the brake lights were not working. The vehicle was at service dealer, they did not know what was causing the brake lights not to work. There was nothing wrong with the bulbs. It could be something within the switch or in the electrical wiring.
The fog lights, located in the bumper of the 2004 dodge durango is damaged when debris (rocks) from the road way are kicked up. The fog lights are made of glass but the headlights are covered in plastic. Little stones where kicked up by trucks which broke both fog lamps costing 140 dollars in repair for just driving down the roadway. I feel this is a defect in the construction of this vehicle because these lamps are made of glass which caused them to break and needed replacement. They should be covered with plastic to prevent this costly repair.
