What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. While parked the contact noticed the interior lighting on the vehicle would not shut off. The interior lights were illuminated in the vehicle constantly while driving or parked. The contact stated the lights would turn off intermittently on their own after being illuminated for approximately three hours. The interior of the vehicle also had a burning smell. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired.
The multi function switch in the steering column fails and causes the wrong turn indicator lights (both on the dash and on the exterior) to activate. For example, when pushing down on the stalk to indicate a left turn the right turn lights are activated. So, if you are in a left turn lane and you try to indicate that you are turning left the right indicator lights will activate and confuse the other drivers and could cause a very dangerous situation.
