Durango has HID headlights. Sometimes one or both headlights do not come on. It is not the headlight bulbs. This is an intermittent problem. Sometimes left doesn't light and sometimes right doesn't light. Safety of driving at night to my family and anyone else on the road is compromised! Many reports of this same problem on cars and trucks with HID headlights. The problem has been reproduced at dealer.

Replace oil filter housing and sensor 3 times on vehicle within 2 years. This was completed twice at the dealership and once at a body shop. Driver side window motor control Button fell off and inside Spring broke.
Service airbag system, service antilock brakes, service transmission, service shifter suddenly appear. Ater pulling over and turning it off the car went dead. Just spent $1500 for a new computer and two days later I have service airbag system. I have videos of the chaos. If this car is in an accident the airbags will not go off and passengers will be unprotected. The electrical issues in this car are beyond comprehension. Chrysler needs to take responsibility before it causes a catastrophic injury. The behavior of this vehicle is unacceptable and unsafe.
My 2014 dodge durango brake lights stay on while in park, can shift into park without pressing the break in, and can start without pressing break.
Internal failure of catalytic converter and body control module
Rear racetrack lighting fills with water. Could short out causing fire or no lights. Have had replaced in 2017. Now water leaking again. Common issue when searched for. Called dealers said dodge warranty has not been covering issue now. Have max care coverage.
Vehicle battery dies due to lights staying on after shutting vehicle off, i have been jump starting it so i can drive it but lately the car is acting up and turn off on me while driving on the freeway. I have read online that some dodge vehicle have te same issue related to the body control module.
My 2014 Dodge Durango SXT RWD alternator stopped working. Was on the way home on 03/24/2022 that night and was driving on 4 lane state hwy. when all of a sudden it started to cut out and the low voltage light appeared on display. I had no choice but to stop in the turning lane right before it quit running. Tried to restart and it just clicked, and dash display disappeared. Had to engage park override and manually push Durango across two lanes of oncoming traffic, luckily two men stopped to help me push it and helped stop traffic so we would not have to stop when we got it rolling. once we had it on side street I tried to restart once again, and it just clicked. Used a battery booster box to jumpstart it and with box on it would run, with box taken off it would run till battery lost voltage and engine will stop running. Luck I was only about 2 miles from my home and the men who stopped and helped pull me the rest of the way home using a tow strap. The Durango is in my driveway and will not start and run to take anywhere to be diagnosed. Dodge told me if the vin didn't show a recall, I'd have to pay the tow bill up front and if it did turn out to be a defective alternator, I can send the tow bill in for reimbursement. (I am Disabled and can't afford a tow truck to tow it 15 miles to nearest dealership.) The only time any warning lamps came on was just before it stopped running as I was getting in turn lane. Durango has run fine Purchased 01/19/2022 and second owner and have put only 2400 miles on it since I got it. Even took to North Central Arkansas and back to Odessa Tx in late Jan 2022 with no issues. This Alternator Part# 04801779AG was in a recall for the 2014 Durangos with a 3.6l engine recall # 14v-634 and was revised with 17v-741 I am attaching a pic of alternator part number that is still on My Durango. This s my only vehicle and use it to make Heart Specialist appointments and run earns as needed, so can't be without it very long.
Wife coming home from work around midnight on 03/24/2022. 2014 Durango suddenly started to not respond to throttle, and dash showed low voltage and stop running. After jumpstarting Durango shows only 10v on display and confirmed with voltmeter at alternator. entered my vin for recalls and it shows none open. She had just turned off major a major 4 lane state hwy and that is when it died. If it had died in middle of turn she would have been in a major accident. Durango was driven at 10 mph due to engine derating, with no light on and all acc turned off made it home lucky to have only been 1 mile from home and on neighborhood street. Inspection will have to be done at my home, Durango will not start. Cant afford tow bill I am on Disability and a fixed income. Low voltage light came on just as she crossed two lanes of traffic and stared on neighborhood street. This car is used to take me to doctors appointments at my Heart Specialist, wife to work and daily driver. Durango has 153000 miles. This is the first time it has happened
2014 Dodge Durango R/T- water pooled in the drivers side rear light, causing the LED's to short out. I called the dealership and it is well over a thousand dollars to replace this. Currently only operating with the passenger side light which is a huge problem in the state of MI. No warning lamps appeared... I noticed it after a car wash.

In October 2014, a recall was called for some 2014 Dodge Durangos and Jeep Grand Cherokees because a electrical issue where the air bag light intermittently comes on and turns off repeatedly. My vehicle was not included but it is having the same issue which almost seems like a short in wiring. This is an issue that widely discussed in the Durango chat as other people are told as well that their 2014 is not included but they have the same issue.
Randomly car will flash shifter issue, brake issues, no bus, and many others. Wipers will then turn on and will go off by beeping horn. Then dash goes black. Sometimes during these frequent episodes transmission won’t shift out of low gear. Turn car off and it’s dead. Randomly restarts and acts normal for a bit. A month ago fuel pump went and paid $800 to repair. Been happening for a year. Today car is dead in driveway but randomly wipers began moving. Beep horn turns wipers off. This car is not right. Chrysler needs to be accountable and recall the TIPM box in these vehicle.
Fuel pump relay not working
Screen on center console gets extremely hot to the touch when car is running. Purchased the car 10 days ago and reported the issue to the dealer we purchased it from. Dealer arranged for the car to be taken in to one of their authorized dealers in the auto nation group which is closer to our home. Dealer was able to duplicate and stated the temperature registered at 120 degrees on the console and recommended replacing the head unit. This unit is overheating and causing the radio to short along with other buttons on the display to not work when pressed. Dealer we purchased from said they would take care of the issue then turned around and said the limited warranty will not cover this. This is extremely dangerous and could catch fire.
I am having starting issues, combined with stalling when it full power or even partial. I reviewed the recalls that were listed for this era vehicle. And it lines up with the fuel relay or fuse I can't remember which one it was that was happening on similar makes models and this year. I believe this should be involved in that recall, but it's not showing that it is.
The “service shifter” warning comes on and the gears begin to change on their own. This happen out of the blue and while driving the vehicle. Other dash board issues then come on and the car begins to say to service just about everything and then turns off the dash.
I was getting in the driver seat of my parked car. Prior to getting in I heard a loud thud that sounded like a spring released. The headrest safety feature had deployed. Again the car was parked and not in motion.
The shift lock mechanism failed to function allowing my vehicle to randomly shift from park to drive causing the vehicle to roll forward into another vehicle
1st ALL of the interior lights won’t turn off no matter what you do. Doors all closed locked still stay on while driving can’t manually switch them off 2nd yesterday I went to pick up my daughter at school and the car all of a sudden just stopped running. It won’t start. Before it would do that and I had to exit the vehicle and use the remote start. Tried it this time and it said fob deactivated and just beeped. Then the alarm went off and wouldn’t turn off. When the alarm finally stopped the radio turned on for no reason but the car still won’t start. Fob has a new battery still won’t start. This car isn’t even old and only has 60,000 miles on it. Lucky I was pulling over and parking I could have died. Apparently this is a known issue it had to happen to me for me to find out about it. You’ll do a recall for cruise control but not this!!!’ Crazy this car is a defective death trap. It’s sitting on the curb in front of the house now since I had to have it towed home. I’m NOT driving it ever again.
The vehicle was parked in my driveway and had not been used since 10pm the night before. At 7am I noticed smoke coming from the back of the vehicle as I looked out my window. I went out and there was a small flame under the bumper near the exhaust pipe also some wires seemed to be on fire. I went to get a hose, and when I returned there were flames erupting up near the tail light. A neighbor put out the fire with a dry chemical extinguisher. I called the fire department, and they said they had no idea what could've happened, but suspected an electrical short. I am taking to the dealer to understand.
While driving my vehicle at 60 MPH my lights started to flicker on and off. Eventually they stopped but the driver side headlight had never came back on. I replaced the bulb and still nothing. Being on the highways I felt I was causing distractions to other drivers from my headlights malfunctioning and putting myself in danger without having the proper lighting to drive safely.
Water is getting in tail light (racetrack LED lighting) and shorting out the LED lamps. Happens when it rains or goes through a car wash
Yesterday when attempting to start my durango, it turned over but did not start. As this is the 5th time, I already knew what the problem was. I checked the fuse for the fuel pump and replaced it. It started back up fine. Although this time, this put my family and I in a very dangerous situation. When driving through a railroad crossing, the vehicle died on me. Moments later the barricades came down and I jumped out quickly to push the vehicle while my wife and kids were inside. I managed to get them out of harms way before the train arrived. Chrysler needs to recall this problem, like the 2011-2013 vehicles that are experiencing fuel pump relay switch. Obviously 2014 models are affected.
