2000 Dodge Durango Exterior lighting Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the exterior lighting system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Exterior lighting reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

SINCE PURCHASING THE DURANGO, I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE CAR. THE LIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, YOU HAVE 3 CHOICES: GET OFF THE ROAD; TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS; FLICK THE LIGHTS AND HOPE THAT THEY COME ON.*AK
