2019 Dodge Durango Exterior Lighting

WHILE CHANGING BOTH OF THE FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULBS FOR THE 2ND TIME, IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, I DECIDED TO CHECK FOR BURNT / BROKEN FILAMENTS. THE RIGHT SIDE BULB FILAMENT WAS BROKEN. THEN I NOTICED THAT BOTH BULBS HAD BURNED CONNECTOR PRONGS AT THE BASE OF THE BULB (SEE PHOTOS), WHERE THEY PLUG INTO THE SOCKET. I COULD NOT SEE IF THERE WAS ANY OF THE SAME DAMAGE TO THE SOCKETS. BOTH REPLACEMENT BULBS ARE WORKING PROPERLY AT THIS TIME.

ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2019, I PURCHASED A NEW THE NEW 2019 DODGE DURANGO VIN I SUBMITTED. DRIVING OFF THE LOT, I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE DASHBOARD AND HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON "AUTO." IT WAS DARK. I HAD TO MANUALLY SWITCH THE SELECTOR SWITCH TO THE "ON" POSITION AND THE HEADLIGHTS DID COME ON. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE VEHICLE INDICATED ONE BAG TRIP. I JUST PICKED THE VEHICLE UP ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2019. I ALSO HAVE ENGINE KNOCK.

HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON WHEN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION WHILE IN PARK AND WHILE IN MOTION, AND STAY ON; DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING HEADLIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY GO OFF IN THE ON POSITION WHILE IN MOTION. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BY DEALER REPAIR PERSONNEL TO FIND A REMEDY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE AFTERMARKET REMOTE START INSTALLED BY A THIRD PARTY WAS WIRED INCORRECTLY. THE DEALER INSTALLED A FACTORY REMOTE START AND THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE RESOLVED.
