2007 Dodge Durango Electrical Problems

Your Durango stalls and loses all electrical power while driving, especially when slowing down, and won't restart immediately. When this happens, your headlights and hazard lights stop working completely, leaving you stranded in the dark. This created a dangerous situation when your car stalled at a traffic light in heavy traffic with no lights to warn other drivers. The electrical system appears to be failing intermittently, and you'll need to have the battery, alternator, and electrical connections inspected and tested.

Your dashboard lights up completely with all warning lights illuminated, and you see a "no fuse" message where the odometer should display. All your gauges stop working, and your air controls become unresponsive—meaning you can't get hot or cold air from the vents. This happens whether the vehicle is parked or driving. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the electrical system, checking fuses and relays, and potentially replacing a faulty instrument cluster or electrical module.

WHILE DRIVING EVERY LIGHT AND GAUGE STARTED BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH. NO HEADLIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS. AFTER SHUTT IT OFF IT CONTINUED TO DO IT. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ANYTIME IT RAINS OR MOISTURE IN THE AIR. I HAVE HAD THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED AT THE DEALER AND THE CONTROLLER FOR THE BLINKERS REPLACED AT A LOCAL MECHANIC. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE.ABSOLUTELY AFRAID IT IS GOING TO DIE ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DOING THIS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE IS WAS DRIVING BUT HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN AS SOON AS I START THE DURANGO. WE HAVE A VIDEO THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD THAT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THIS ISSUE. DODGE FORUM HAS OTHER DURANGO'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE KEY FAILED TO TURN IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HAD TO PLAY WITH THE SWITCH FOR THE IGNITION TO TURN. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,605.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VOLTAGE LIGHT RANDOMLY FLASHED, WHICH INDICATED THERE WAS A LOW CHARGE.

APPROACHED INTERSECTION TO TURN LEFT ,HAD LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON ,LOOKED AT INSTURMENTATION RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WAS FLASHING.MOVED DIRECTIONAL LEVER TO RIGHT FLASH POSITION ,LEFT SIGNAL STARTED FLASHING,AT THE SAME TIME,WIPERS THAT WERE ON DELAY,WENT TO HI SPEED ,WITH LOSS OF ALL SWITCH CONTROL. HAD TO TURN OFF VEHICLE, AND APON RESTART BOTH SYSTEMS RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION,THIS WAS ONA DARK RAINY NIGHT ,THERE IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN .SINCE I EXPIERENCED THIS 2 WEEKS EARLIER. AND I HAVE WITNESSES! AND CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, WHEN APPLIED, WILL FLASH IN THE CAB AND ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS RIGHT. IT WILL MALFUNCTION FROM TIME TO TIME BY FLASHING BACK AND FORTH LEFT TO RIGHT. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. FOR AWHILE IT WILL WORK THEN THE TURN SIGNAL WILL START TO FLASH IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND PLACES MY FAMILY IN SERIOUS DANGER OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE FUSES AND RELAYS ARE WORKING FINE. THE BULBS ARE FRESH AND NEW. THIS PROBLEM IS FROM ANOTHER FAILURE

MY 2007 DURANGO HAS DEVELOPED A TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM WHERE WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS TRIGGERED, THE RIGHT SIGNAL ACTUALLY IS OPERATED INDICATED BY INSIDE AND OUTSIDE LIGHTS. THIS IS VERIFIED BY IRATE DRIVERS LETTING ME KNOW!! THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS! *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH TURN SIGNALS FAILING TO WORK PROPERLY. SOMETIMES THEY WILL BLINK FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND OTHER TIMES THEY WILL NOT WORK AT ALL OR EVEN BLINK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THIS IS A CONSIDERABLE HIGHWAY SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD LEAD TO A SEVERE TRAFFIC CRASH. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING INCONSISTENTLY OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN NUMEROUS INSTANCES WHEN THE POWER WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY AND ALSO WHEN YOU WOULD TRY TO USE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS IT WOULD CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID TO ACTIVATE AND NOT DIM OR ENGAGE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. *TT

NO INCIDENT TO REPORT. TURN SIGNAL MALFUNCTIONED WHEN SIGNALING LEFT TURN. BOTH SIGNALS FLASHED.

2007 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED, I'M HAVING A ISSUE WITH THE BLINKERS. WHEN YOU TURN ON TO GO LEFT THE BLINKER BLINKS RIGHT. TO GO RIGHT IT GOES LEFT OR COMPLETELY STOPS WORKING PERIOD. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP BUT AT THE MOMENT THE PROBLEM DIDN'T EXIST. THEREFORE COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS NOT TO MENTION YOU GET MANY TICKED OFF DRIVERS THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR DOING. IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO DRIVE OR COME UP TO INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE TO VERY CAREFUL AND MAKE SURE THE BLINKER IS BLINKING THE RIGHT WAY SO I DON'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR WHY I CAN MONTHS WITH OUT AN ISSUE AND A DAY OR TWO WITH PROBLEMS. *TR
