problem #2

Jun 102017

Durango

  • 184,000 miles
This issue happens randomly: Vehicle is parked: Power door locks do not work you have to manually unlock all doors, vehicles starts fine but "service 4X4" appears on the cluster, all dome lights stay on, cluster lights (gage's etc.) do not light up, no exterior lights work (I.e headlights, parking lights, brake and so on). Vehicle will not return to normal state until I disconnect the battery and reconnect. It has happened multiple times on different days. Sometimes it will happen within a day of each instant, other times it will go a month and then do it again.

problem #1

Durango 8-cyl

  • 190,000 miles
My headlights and interior lights started blinking accompanied by a clicking sound coming from the left side of the steering panel. The windshield wipers also do not work unless put on high, and the gas light sound beeps every 20-30 seconds continuously until gas is put in. The beeping sound for the gas light will stop once refilled but lights continue to blink, interior and exterior while vehicle is in motion. I have done research on this problem and it seems like every other person with a 2003 Dodge Durango is experiencing the exact same problem but Dodge refuses to recall the part, saying it was fixed, which is the ctm module causing this problem, when taken into a dealership it is the ctm that needs to be fixed and is absurd that more vehicles have not been recalled for this problem when every single one is experiencing the exact same problems.
