2020 Dodge Durango: exterior lighting leads the owner complaints

Owners filed 53 complaints with NHTSA. Exterior lighting is the most reported area at 38%, followed by the electrical system (15%) and engine (13%). No deaths are reported. Two of the electrical-system reports involved a fire, and the exterior-lighting and structure reports together account for 6 injuries, so both areas are worth a close look.
