Defect Description:
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
The drivers side daytime running light led failed at approximately 56,000 miles and less than 4 years. The dealer (Dover Dodge) has informed me that the LED can’t simply be replaced , but the entire headlight has to be replaced for $1,400 dollars including labor. This component is not supposed to fail so early. It is unreasonable and premature for a component like this to fail and the only recourse is to replace the entire headlight assembly. I believe this is a design flaw that Dodge should recall or at the minimum extend the warranty on. It is not safe that my daytime running light will remain off on the drivers side. This condition will certainly lower my visible presence on the road.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
The drivers side daytime running lamps no longer work. This feature is supposed to allow other drivers to see me during the day when headlights are not needed to see. I have checked the fuse and it is good. I also toggled the option off and back on in settings. Passenger side works but not the drivers. This part has to be faulty since everyone on the dodge forums state that only the drivers side on their vehicle quit working.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I noticed this morning when approaching the car that there was an oil spot under the car. I checked the oil and it is two courts low. There is oil puddled on the frame rails under the coolant reservoir. When I took the coolant cap off, there's nothing but oil in the tank. We have yet to have the car towed and inspected by a certified mechanic. The car drove normal and was within normal operating range when parked. Car has been serviced by a local certified shop at all intervals.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Went to the Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership in Lawrenceburg, IN last year and was told that spoiler failed a recall inspection and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, spoilers were on back order and would take several months to get in. A month or so later, my local body shop took my Dodge Durango to the Dodge dealership in Batesville, IN for repairs after someone ran into my vehicle while it was parked in a parking lot. The Batesville dealership did another inspection for the spoiler recall and cleared the inspection stating that the spoiler passed inspection. So now I have one dealership (Lawrenceburg, IN) saying that there is a "gap" and that the spoiler in fact needs replaced, but that they can't fix it because they will not be reimbursed by Chrysler since the recall for my Durango has been "cleared" by the Batesville, IN Dodge dealership. After contacting the second dealership, they still claim that the spoiler is fine and refuse to fix it either. I admit, I don't know what I am looking for, but I also see a gap between the spoiler and where it is attached to the vehicle. It also seems to be loose. So, my question is, what exactly is the spoiler recall on 2021 Dodge Durango's? Should I be concerned that it's not getting fixed? Most importantly, who will be responsible if this thing comes off and injurers someone driving behind me?

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
All electrical systems are periodically malfunctioning. This includes power windows, door locks, lane assist, heating and cooling/climate controls, heated steering wheel, screen displays, radio controls, steering wheel controls, shifter, etc. all of these things will turn on and off by themselves while driving. Lane assist has frequently turned on and off while driving and jerks the steering wheel. Park assist turns on and off while driving. The vehicle does not always turn off with the push button stop and has to be attempted several times. I have been locked inside my vehicle because the electric locks will not release without several attempts. Power windows frequently do not work. Back hatch frequently will not release, leaving the back of the vehicle inaccessible. It has shifted into neutral by itself while driving requiring me to pull to the side of the road and physically move the shifter back and forth. It was taken to the dealership where they stated there were so many error codes they could not clear them all. I am currently waiting on an electrical wiring part that they say will fix it because they’ve “seen this before”. It is 1000 miles beyond the basic warrantee and my purchased extended warrantee will not cover the $700 repair because it is considered normal corrosion wear. It is really not safe to drive and it has taken weeks for the dealership to address the issue, waiting on an ordered part that may fix it.
Corrective Action:
All electrical systems are periodically malfunctioning. This includes power windows, door locks, lane assist, heating and cooling/climate controls, heated steering wheel, screen displays, radio controls, steering wheel controls, shifter, etc. all of these things will turn on and off by themselves while driving. Lane assist has frequently turned on and off while driving and jerks the steering wheel. Park assist turns on and off while driving. The vehicle does not always turn off with the push button stop and has to be attempted several times. I have been locked inside my vehicle because the electric locks will not release without several attempts. Power windows frequently do not work. Back hatch frequently will not release, leaving the back of the vehicle inaccessible. It has shifted into neutral by itself while driving requiring me to pull to the side of the road and physically move the shifter back and forth.
