Motor heat guards), the windshield gets ice on the inside of the vehicle, my headlights blink on and off while driving, the heat works only sometimes due to the…

    When activating the left blinker signal, the right blinker signal activates spontaneously. Sometimes for an extended period of time and causes other driver's to think im turning or switching lane's to the right instead of left. This is very dangerous and has already caused some near accident's. *tr

    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…
