Durango Limited 5.7L
Christmas Day we returned from a trip to my parents house and I decided to go to McDonald's to get a quick bite to eat. I noticed that the interior lights were on for no reason but was able to turn them off at each individual light switch. Later in the evening I went into the garage to get something and the interior lights including the hatch light in the back was on. My wife and I messed with this for HOURS and took out the owners manual and could not find the fix. I typed 2004 Dodge Durango lights into the web search and whammo this site came up. I could not believe my eyes when I started reading this information and showed my wife and so we moved our truck into the driveway for the night in case something happened. Wham at 6am this morning I went out to get into the truck and the lights were still on including the hatch light. I smelled something burning and went ahead and started the truck and smike and flames came out of the front dash area. I called 911 and in the mean time the windshield exploded and flames engulfed the truck. Luckily the fire department got here very quickly and got it put out but it is totaled. I have filed an insurance claim and also Chrysler also filed a claim and said I would be contacted in 2 business days. The most aggravating part is I was at the dealers after getting the recall and asked about doing it and I was told it was a big hassle to change the board and that they have never found any problems with any of them they changed and not to worry about it. I am anxiously awaiting Chrysler's response.
