The passenger side headlight lamp is not working due to something in the harness. I have owned 2 dodge durango suv's and both had problems with the passenger side headlamp. No power to the light the first one would come on if you wiggled the headlight harness. The one I have now has been checked and there is no power to the bulb. When I'm out driving around town I notice I am not the only dodge durango without a headlight I have seen so many with the same issue. I have seen other chrysler's and dodge vehicles diffrent make and models with a headlight blown out. I think they need to fix this its a harness problem not just a bulb replacement issue. I should not have to try and replace a wiring harness due to the defects I can clearly see with other vehicles having the same issues. This started about a year after I bought the vehicle. Bought brand new bulbs 2 times thinking it was just a bulb well its the harness. All fuses have been checked with a multimeter as well as the bulb outlet.

Same as feb 2015 recall. Fuel relay replaced june 2019. As of july 9 2019 back in shop for tipm issues and replacement. After 4 days and a 3hr diagnostic study it was determined that the timp would need to be replaced and possible other modules. Vehicle originally had starting problem. Once fuel relay was replaced that ended. Then vehicle started but all dash lighting and error messages started flashing stating fcw was off, showed hill ascent indicator, showed brake indicator neither were on, showed service engine indicator and others. Wipers would randomly swipe even though they were off. Warning bell would randomly ding as if the seat belt was not fastened. It was. Headlights would randomly flash and the doors would unlock (this problem has been happening for 3-4 yrs but service would say to check key fob battery or possible interference of something else. Did drive vehicle to work approx 4 miles and home the first day of problem. Next day vehicle went straight to dealership approx 8 miles away. Still there 4 days later. Not repaired. Apparently my VIN is not part of original recall and now I will have to pay a minimum of $1560.00 for repairs in addition to the $472.00 I spent on the fuel relay.

I have 2013 dodge durango sxt and I bout it from mike alberts dealership in cincinnati, ohio. A little over a year I bought it, it started having issues with the truck cutting off when I hit bumps. The headlights keep going out, I have to replace the the bulbs and then finally replaced the harness that house the bulbs because the original one was fried. Over time the ones that I bout are beginning to burn as well causing the bulbs to go out. When I take the truck back to the dealership, they say they have can't figure out what the issue is when it comes to the truck cutting off. It's a safety hazard for my family driving that truck and I'm sure it wouldn't look nice on y'all end if I was to get into an accident with this vehicle if it stalls on me.
