The multi function switch in the steering column fails and causes the wrong turn indicator lights (both on the dash and on the exterior) to activate. For example, when pushing down on the stalk to indicate a left turn the right turn lights are activated. So, if you are in a left turn lane and you try to indicate that you are turning left the right indicator lights will activate and confuse the other drivers and could cause a very dangerous situation.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. While parked the contact noticed the interior lighting on the vehicle would not shut off. The interior lights were illuminated in the vehicle constantly while driving or parked. The contact stated the lights would turn off intermittently on their own after being illuminated for approximately three hours. The interior of the vehicle also had a burning smell. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.
Interior lights, won't come on unless your press the individual light power on button, and then they stay on until the individual light switches are cycled again. Interior lights will not come on when doors are opened, or when attempting to power on via dimmer switch. Dodge mechanics can't even figure out this one.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact was driving approximately 5 MPH and attempting a turn. When the left turn signal was engaged, the right turn light flashed as opposed to the left. The contact stated that when shifting the steering column up or down, it would correct the failure. The failure was initially occurred sporadically but progressed into a frequent failure. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired for the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,750 and the current mileage was 60,846.

I bought a 2005 dodge durango in june 2005. The first 9000 miles were great. No problems. In october 2005 the headlights/fog lights started to go on and off by themselves. The dealership moved the inspections sticker. Did not resolve the problem. They then replaced the sensors and switched, did not correct the problem, they then replaced the circuit board, did not correct. They then had a tech from the factory look at the vehicle. They replaced the module. I picked up the car yesterday and on my way home from the dealer the lights went on and off again. I have sent the lemon law card to chrysler. I contacted chrysler again today about this issue. They basically have stated that it is up to the district manager to resolve this problem. I am waiting once again for him to call me back. The horn also blows by itself (this has happened twice), the radio has turned itself on and off by itself twice, the passenger side airbag light has came on when it should not and the drivers side airbag showed that it had deployed when in fact it did not. The outside temperature gauge on the overhead console did not work correctly (only one time.) I feel that I have been more then patient with these recurring problems. They have put a co-pilot on the car to no avail.
