The headlights on my 2001 dodge durango blink on and off when they are turned on. This problem renders the vehicle inoperable to drive at night. I read on the internet that thousands of other drivers have also experienced this problem. It has something to do with the central timer module. Dodge should be made to issue a vehicle recall to fix this unsafe blinking headlight problem. *tr

I was driving home from work one night, it was raining, when my headlights, wipers, and dashboard just went out. I pulled over in a parking lot, shut off the engine waiting a couple of minutes and turned it back on and they still wouldn't work. I can not drive my car at night or when it is raining, or even lock my doors. They tried replacing the ignition switch and still no lights. *tr
