TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO ENGAGE THE HEADLIGHT HIGH BEAM BUTTON IN ORDER FOR THE HEADLIGHTS TO FUNCTION AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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.

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.... *NM

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.*AK

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. *JB
