I HAVE A 2002 DODGE DURANGO AND I AM EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHILE PARKED AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. STARTED ABOUT 3 DAYS AGO AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE LIGHTS STAY OFF LONGER AND IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENT. ALL INSIDE LIGHTS FLICKER AS WELL. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 1999 - 2003 MODEL YEARS AND IN FACT, DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR THE 2003 YEAR FOR THE CENTRAL TIMER MODULE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND FIXED. *JB
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC WITH THE BRAKES ENGAGED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED HE HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE AT LEAST FOUR TIMES AND THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED EACH TIME. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS BECOMING TOO HOT AND SOFTENING THE PLASTIC LENS. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE ELECTRICAL CONTACT WITH LAMP TERMINALS . THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 121,458. UPDATED 8/2/10 *CN UPDATED 08/09/10*JB
THIS IS A COMPLAINT IN GENERAL ABOUT THE BLINDING HEADLIGHTS BEING PUT ON VEHICLES NOW DAYS. CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE TO REGULATE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS PLACED IN CARS. ALSO, DRIVERS WHO DRIVE WITH THEIR DRIVING LIGHTS ON WHEN NOT NEEDED REALLY CAUSE PROBLEMS. CAN'T IT BE REGULATED THAT DRIVING LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHEN APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE. HEADLIGHTS NOWDAYS ARE JUST TOO BRIGHT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO BEING BLINDED BY THE BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS.
