2007 Dodge Durango: windshield wiper failure

Filed Nov 18, 2016 · Electrical, Lights · 100,000 miles · PA

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.

On I-25 going north the instrument panel beeped then showed all red indicator lights on. Beeping was continual every 10 seconds. All gages went to zero: speedometer RPM, gas, temp etc... Also r/left turn indicators did not function; nor the wiper blades [front or rear]. Vehicle could be driven [cautiously] as head & rear lights and brake lights functioned. I do not know if the air bag release mechanism was affected. We had 250 miles to go, half in daylight. Very difficult to merge from i25 to i40 during rush hour traffic without turn indicators.

I purchased my durango feb 2012 and 5 months later (aug 2012) I have already experiancing problems. Every time I put gas in the SUV; when it gets close to full, no matter the speed of gas travel, it starts spewing out of the tank. I am also having a problem with the electrical system. I started the durango and noticed the dash lights did not turn on. Tried turning the dimmer switch all the way up, still nothing happened. The interior lights did not even turn on. I also noticed the speedometer, gas gauge, RPM gauage or thermestate was not working. Then noticed the horn, windshield wipers, blinkers, dimmer switch, head lights, door locks, buttons located on the steering wheel (I.e. Cruise control, radio volume and channel buttons and hazard lights) where not working. When any of the doors are open, the interior lights do not turn on. The compass is reading "no bus", which means it is not receaving any information from the instrument cluster. None of the computer information is desplaying either; such as, the compass, milage, door adjar indicator, ect. I also had the durango hooked to a computer and it kept giving codes for items not working due to not receiving information from the instrument cluster. After getting this information, I started doing some research and found that the 2006 model had a recall on the instrument panel due to the same problems my 2007 model is experiancing. I also noticed that the recall was put out after the manufacter date of my vehicle. In my opinion the electrical panel for the 2007 dodge durango needs to be recalled as well. This is an expensive part to replace and as a single mother and this vehicle as our only means of transportation, it leaves us in quite the predicament. I feel this problem is a hazard to my children, my self and the public and needs to be taken care of immediately.

The windshield wiper will not turn on at all. Sometimes the wipers will quit when driving, the mechanism needs to be wiggled and sometimes it will come on sometimes not. Alot of times if you push the wash wiper button the wipers will come if the knob is turned to the on position.

My windshield wipers will intermittently not turn on, or go the speed which I have selected. My durango is only a 2007 and I have been told by mechanics at 3 different garages there is no way my vehicle is old enough to warrant this type of replacement. If I turn the left turn signal on and complete a turn that switches the turn signal off that is the only way to get the wipers to stay on. They also work for the windshield wiper cleaning but turn back off once that process is complete. We had to drive 300 miles in a bad rainstorm as we were traveling when this first occurred. Now they work for the most part, but occasionally they won't work so this is definitely some kind of issue that dodge needs to fix. There are posts all over the internet about this same problem. There is obviously an issue with either the switch or the wiring system.

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.
