NHTSA complaint #10268240, filed 2009-05, 71,366 miles“Our 2004 Dodge durangos interior and exterior lights flash on and off intermittently. It happened only a few times in the beginning, but as we were traveling it did it more continuously on and off. During the day it was not as noticeable, but as night falls and you are driving everything goes dark for a few seconds, we have a problem. Afraid to drive at night. Asked Dodge about it and they say if it doesn't happen where they can see it there is nothing that can be done. There are only 42,000 miles on our vehicle. Checked recalls and they say we are up to date on all recalls.”
