OUR 2004 DODGE DURANGO SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ITS CTM UNIT. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF PROPERLY. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM IN MY SEARCHING THE INTERNET.

I PURCHASED A 04 DODGE DURANGO 1-1/2 MONTHS AGO. I WAS ONLY GIVEN 1 KEY. THEY KEYLESS ENTRY AND KEY ARE ONE. THE KEYLESS ENTRY DOES NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. THE PRONG THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY DOWN BREAKS OFF EASILY. IF YOU TRY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE VEHICLE IT SETS OFF THE ALARM.I AM UNABLE TO LOCK MY VEHICLE UNLESS I SET THE ALARM OFF. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY, STILL DOESN'T HELP. I LOOKED UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS HAPPENS WITH THIS VEHICLE OFTEN BECAUSE IT IS POORLY MADE. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY $200 TO REPLACE THE KEY AND IT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM AS IT HAPPENS OFTEN AND I AM UNABLE TO LOCK MY VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT MORE LIKELY FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE BROKEN INTO. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS ITEM, HOWEVER I READ ON OTHER CASES THAT EVENTUALLY THIS ISSUE LEADS TO THE SECURITY SYSTEM LOCKING DOWN AND THE VEHICLE NOT WORKING. MY ISSUE HAS YET TO GET TO THAT POINT BUT I DON'T WANT TO WAIT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS DODGE REFUSES TO BE COOPERATIVE. *TR
