2014 DODGE DURANGO Exterior Lighting Problems

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact was pulled over by a Police Officer, and was informed that both taillights were inoperable. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the taillight assemblies. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 122,000.

Mileage: 122,000

Racetrack light bar has failed twice since purchasing this car. The same bulb has went out and in order to pass inspection I need to replace the whole thing. I've had this vehicle for 2 years.

The rear tail light racetrack assembly gasket has permitted water intrusion, with currently about an inch of water having collected in the light. The lower segments of the LED lights have failed, posing a safety risk due to reduced visibility, as well as a fire risk. In addition, the rear license plate LED module has failed, likely due to this water intrusion, requiring replacement no less than 4 times since i have owned this vehicle (since 2015). This repair is costly, roughly $300 each time. It was just replaced in November of 2024, and has already failed.

The driver side Daylight Running Light went out prematurely.

The rear light bar in my vehicle has repeatedly failed in my nine years of ownership. It first occurred in 2015 under the 36,000-mile warranty, followed by three more failures every two years, with the latest at 84,000 miles in 2024. This issue is tied to a design flaw. The light bar is prone to water ingress, causing light source failure and attributed to a manufacturing defect by the dealership. The cost of replacement is $2,100, and Arapahoe Dodge in Centennial, CO, acknowledges it as a widespread problem in Dodge vehicles with this part. Despite replacements, the issue persists, calling for a recall to redesign and replace the faulty units. Functioning as a crucial safety component in the braking system, the failure of the brake light significantly increases the risk of rear-end collisions. I initiated a ticket with Chrysler, but the representative lacked knowledge. Suggestions of a factory technician assisting at the dealership were met with uncertainty. There are no warning signs before the LED fails, with water accumulation being the only indicator. In summary, the recurring failure of the light bar poses a significant safety risk, acknowledged by the dealership. The cost of replacement is substantial, warranting a recall for redesign. Communication gaps with Chrysler and the lack of warning signs compound the issue, emphasizing the urgency for resolution.

The “racetrack” tail light on my wifes Durango is completely burnt out due to water infiltration in the assembly, which is a now known issue for multiple drivers of a Durango. With that being said, since it’s been burnt out, my wife has almost been rear ended 3 times now and I believe it could have something to do with 90% of tail lights that is equipped with the vehicle is now burnt out due to a flaw in manufacturing. It is also a $1000+ repair being you have to replace the entire assembly. Her application of the brakes would be more well known if the entire assembly illuminated and make safer driving conditions for her and others. I understand the product needs replaced but with it being a now known flaw, I don’t believe it should be at the expenses of the vehicle owners.

Due to the 2014 dodge Durango not having a proper seal on them the race track light on my 2014 dodge Durango has been halfway burnt out and there is no reason for me to have to pay $1200 when this is a safety hazard this should be a recalled this is ridiculous. It is not safe it could cause electrical fire a short I’ve worked for emergency services and I will tell you now if your lights on the back of your car do not work properly, it is very highly dangerous.

Center hatch led strip light leak causing led to go out and back up camera to stop working. Causes hazardous conditions for backing up with camera not working and hazardous conditions while driving because don’t know if the short in few of led lights will cause all tail light/brake lights to short out also.

Durango has HID headlights. Sometimes one or both headlights do not come on. It is not the headlight bulbs. This is an intermittent problem. Sometimes left doesn't light and sometimes right doesn't light. Safety of driving at night to my family and anyone else on the road is compromised! Many reports of this same problem on cars and trucks with HID headlights. The problem has been reproduced at dealer.

Dodge Durango Race track tail light. Whole lower left side bulb out and license plate lights due to water entering that area. When you lift the truck water pours out of the light area. Dangerous to drive not sure when the whole light will give out. This is a defect on tons of Durango’s and is a safety hazard to drive. You never know when the whole light will go out do to this defect. Some will get in a accident because of this. If some can’t see your brake light especially at night this will cause a accident! In addition the police pull you over for a bad light and now no license plate lights due to this water issue .

Water in center section of factory brake lamp assembly. This causes less to burn out and are not replaceable bulbs. Only fox is to replace the light completely.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, he activated the remote start feature and noticed that the tailgate light was not illuminated. The contact stated that he observed condensation at the lower portion of the bulb and that the component might have failed due to the fixture not being sealed properly. The contact stated that he was concerned that the failure might lead to him being stopped by the police due to the failure. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

The taillight assembly leaks and fills up with water. It is available for inspection. The taillight shorts out and does not work. The potential of being rear ended is very high; threatening the lives of those in the car and those in the car behind it. Many other Dodge Durango owners have the same problem. The car has not been inspected by others. No warning lamps or symptoms. But every time it rains it is best to loosen the taillight assembly to drain as much water as possibly to prevent the malfunction again.

Rear tail light accumulates water causing a portion of the LED lights to burn out.

Internal failure of catalytic converter and body control module

The long rear tailgate lamp (called the CHMSL) suffers from water intrusion which results in LED failure. This is a reoccurring issue. I am now trying to get this lamp replaced for the 4th or 5th time (yes, I've lost track because it's ridiculous!) Dodge should do a recall and hold the lighting manufacturer accountable as it is a common problem over many years of vehicles. Why should the consumer be burdened with having to replace this lamp every 1-2 years?? Lighting is a safety feature! Failure of LED's is a safety failure. This is an automatic recall so why hasn't a recall been issued?? Nothing on the vehicle system tells you the LED's are out. This affects visibility and can lead to accident, injury or death.

Rear racetrack lighting fills with water. Could short out causing fire or no lights. Have had replaced in 2017. Now water leaking again. Common issue when searched for. Called dealers said dodge warranty has not been covering issue now. Have max care coverage.

the taillight has been getting water inside and there is no way for the water to get out. The water is taking my LED's. this should be a defect on Dodge since they made it. I speak on the other dodge owners that this needs to be fixed or recalled on this issue.

2014 Dodge Durango R/T- water pooled in the drivers side rear light, causing the LED's to short out. I called the dealership and it is well over a thousand dollars to replace this. Currently only operating with the passenger side light which is a huge problem in the state of MI. No warning lamps appeared... I noticed it after a car wash.

The rear "racetrack" tail light assembly fills with water and disables the lights. Also water gets in to the lights over the license plate and disables that light as well.

Water gets into track lights, short circuiting entire tailgate lighting including license plate light, back up camera, and tailgate panel lighting.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the front windshield lining was cracked which caused water to seep into the glove compartment. Additionally, the exterior tailgate door lights were inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty since 2018. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

WATER COLLECTS IN THE RACETRACK TAILIGHT.

1st ALL of the interior lights won’t turn off no matter what you do. Doors all closed locked still stay on while driving can’t manually switch them off 2nd yesterday I went to pick up my daughter at school and the car all of a sudden just stopped running. It won’t start. Before it would do that and I had to exit the vehicle and use the remote start. Tried it this time and it said fob deactivated and just beeped. Then the alarm went off and wouldn’t turn off. When the alarm finally stopped the radio turned on for no reason but the car still won’t start. Fob has a new battery still won’t start. This car isn’t even old and only has 60,000 miles on it. Lucky I was pulling over and parking I could have died. Apparently this is a known issue it had to happen to me for me to find out about it. You’ll do a recall for cruise control but not this!!!’ Crazy this car is a defective death trap. It’s sitting on the curb in front of the house now since I had to have it towed home. I’m NOT driving it ever again.

THE TAIL LIGHT TRACK ACROSS THE TAILGATE CONTINUES TO TAKE ON WATER. I FIRST HAD IT REPLACED IN APRIL 2018 AT WHICH POINT I WAS TOLD THAT IT'S ABOUT $1300 FIX BUT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. FAST FORWARD AND EARLY 2020, REPLACEMENT HAS SAME ISSUE WITH CONDENSATION. IT WAS REPLACED AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD IF THERE WERE ANY ISSUES THAT I WOULD BE PAYING OUT OF POCKET AS I WAS PAST THE ORIGINAL 2 YEAR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT. IT IS NOW A YEAR LATER AND THE 2ND REPLACEMENT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS THREE TAILLIGHT FIXTURES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO PAY FOR THIS. ESSENTIALLY I'D BE PAYING $1300 EVERY TWO YEARS TO REPLACE AT THIS POINT OR HAVE BURNT OUT ELECTRIC COMPONENTS BECAUSE OF THE WATER. A $40K VEHICLE WITH 64,000 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT 60 MPH MY LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. EVENTUALLY THEY STOPPED BUT THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAD NEVER CAME BACK ON. I REPLACED THE BULB AND STILL NOTHING. BEING ON THE HIGHWAYS I FELT I WAS CAUSING DISTRACTIONS TO OTHER DRIVERS FROM MY HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING AND PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER WITHOUT HAVING THE PROPER LIGHTING TO DRIVE SAFELY.

Mileage: 69,561

THE RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT IS NOT AIRTIGHT SO WATER GETS INSIDE THE LAMP. THIS CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL SHORT ON THE LED BOARDS AND SMOKE FILLED MY CAR. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. MY INSURANCE ACCEPTED IT AS A CLAIM AND I HAD THE LAMP REPLACED. THE OLD LAMP WAS INTERMITTENTLY LIT BEFORE GOING COMPLETELY OUT.

Mileage: 93,000

THE CENTER PART OF THE RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT LEAKS AND THE WATER CAN AND WILL CAUSE THE LIGHT TO FAIL. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND IT IS HAPPENING IN LARGE NUMBERS ON THE 2014 TO CURRENT DODGE DURANGO. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PART IS OVER $1,000 US DOLLARS AND YET THEY WILL NOT RECALL THE VEHICLES TO MAKE IT RIGHT INSTEAD THEY USE IT AS A MONEY PIT. THE LIGHT CAN LEAK IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING IN WET WEATHER AND SIMPLY WASHING THE VEHICLE WILL CAUSE WATER TO STAND IN THE HOUSING. THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO GO OUT COMPLETELY GOING DOWN THE ROAD ALONG WITH THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. PLEASE HELP US HARD WORKING PEOPLE OUT AND MAKE CHRYSLER ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POORLY SEALED DESIGN BECAUSE THAT MUCH MONEY ISN'T EASY TO COME BY THESE DAYS.

THE REAR TAILLIGHT ON THE DECK LIGHT HAS ENCOUNTER WATER INTRUSION CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO FAIL AND NOT ILLUMINATE. ON THIS VEHICLE IT HAS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF FOUR (4) TIMES. EACH REPLACEMENT PART HAS FAILED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY. DODGE IS NOT COVERING DUE TO VEHICLE AGE EVEN THOUGHT THIS IS RECURRING AND THE HAVE HAD TO THE REPLACE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY FOUR TIMES. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT IS BEING EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS OF THIS PRODUCT LINE. DODGE IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE VEHICLE AGE, HOWEVER THE FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE INDICATES A FAULTY PRODUCT ON THEIR BEHALF AND LEAVES THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE REAR TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY WORKING. FAILURE CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WITH NO NOTICE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE TO REAR END COLLISION.

Mileage: 125,000

THE RACETRACK TAILGATE LIGHT LEAKS AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER GETS INSIDE AFTER ANYTIME ITS LEFT IN THE RAIN, OR AFTER A CAR WASH. THIS WILL BUILD UP AND CAUSE A SHORT. THIS ALSO FREEZES IN THE WINTER AND WILL EVENTUALLY CRACK THE ENTIRE EXPENSIVE TAILGATE LIGHT. THIS RACETRACK LIGHT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

OUR 2014 DODGE DURANGO RT AWD TAILLIGHT IS TAKEN ON WATER WHEN IT RAINS OR EVEN GOING THRU CAR WASH CAUSING LIGHT TO SHORT IN SPOTS WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARDS, WRECKS THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BY MANUFACTURER TO HAVE TO REPLACED. *TR

Mileage: 95,000

WATER ENTERED THE TAIL LIGHT(NOT THROUGH ANY CRACKING BUT THROUGH THE SEALS ON THE SIDES OF IT) AND CAUSED PORTIONS OF THE LIGHT TO BURN OUT. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER THIS THE TAIL LIGHT WAS CRACKED BUT CAUSED NO MORE WATER THAN USUAL TO GET IN. THE CRACK WAS COMPLETELY REPAIRED AND WATER STILL COMES INTO THE TAIL LIGHT THROUGH THE SEAL ON THE SIDES OF IT IF IT IS PARKED OUTSIDE IN HEAVY RAIN. IT IS EMBARRASSING AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHEN PORTIONS OF THE LIGHT DO NOT WORK. WE NOTICED THIS ABOUT 7 MONTHS AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WHEN IT WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT DURING HEAVY RAIN. DURING LIGHT SHOWERS, IT DOES NOT DO THIS OR WHEN DRIVING BUT IF THE VEHICLE SITS IN RAIN FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME WATER STARTS TO BUILD UP INSIDE PRESENTING THE NEED TO REMOVE A BOLT AND DRAIN THE LIGHT(WHICH WE DO). THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN WASHING THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN SPRAY RIGHT WHERE IT WAS CRACKED AND NO WATER GETS IN BUT IF YOU SPRAY AROUND THE SIDES OF THE LIGHT WATER STARTS ENTERING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2016 BUT WE DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT DATE BUT IT WOULD BE ABOUT MID JANUARY 2016. *TR

Mileage: 53,000

NOTICED WATER INSIDE THE CENTER REAR TAILLIGHT. TOOK THE LOWER CORNER BOLTS OUT AND TONS OF WATER POURS OUT ANY TIME THE CAR GETS WET (CAR WASH, RAIN STORM ETC). PARTS OF THE LED LIGHT ARE GOING OUT BECAUSE OF THE WATER INTRUSION. I MAKE SURE TO DRAIN THE WATER WHENEVER THE CAR GETS WET, AND TO NOT TURN THE LIGHTS ON WHEN THERE MAY BE WATER INSIDE THE HOUSING. OF COURSE, YOU CAN'T REPLACE THE BULB INSIDE, YOU HAVE TO BUY AN ENTIRE CENTER TAILLIGHT FOR OVER $1,000.00!!! WONT BE LONG AND THE ENTIRE LIGHT WILL BE BURNT OUT. NOW, SINCE I LIVE IN WYOMING WHERE WE HAVE NASTY WINTERS, AND THE WATER INTRUSION KEEPS GETTING WORSE, THE WATER HAS FROZEN INSIDE THE TAILLIGHT AND CRACKED THE LENS, CREATING MORE WATER INTRUSION! TERRIBLE DESIGN. I HAVE READ HOURS OF FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY VERY COMMON ON 2014-2019 DURANGOS. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE. SOME HAVE GOTTEN EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO PAY FOR A NEW TAILLIGHT, THEN, A MONTH LATER, THEY HAVE WATER INSIDE THE LIGHT AND A BURNT OUT LIGHT AGAIN. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A NASTY BLIZZARD; I CAN'T GO BUY A NEW BULB TO PUT IN IT AND I DEFINITELY CAN'T GO BUY A NEW TAILLIGHT AT $1K JUST TO HAVE IT DO THE SAME THING. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE LIGHTS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A RELIABLE DESIGN.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHT HAS GOT WATER IN THE REAR DECK LED LIGHTS. SOMETIMES CALL THE RACETRACK LIGHTS, AND CAUSED THE LED TO BURN OUT NOT HE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT. MANY HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. DODGE WANTS $1000 TO REPAIR. THIS IS THE SECOND ONE THAT IT HAS DONE IT TO. DODGE REPLACED THE FIRST ONE UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS 22,000.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHT LOCATED ON THE TAIL GATE OF THE DURANGO COLLECTS A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER DURING ANY RAIN. THIS HAPPENS IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND/OR IN MOTION. BOLTS IN THE TAILGATE HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO DRAIN THE WATER. IF THE WATER STAYS IT WILL SHORT OUT THE LIGHTS AND THEY WILL NO LONGER ILLUMINATE.

I AM WRITING TO YOU REGARDING WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO. I GOT INTO MY CAR TO GO TO WORK, STARTED THE CAR AND AS IT WAS RUNNING I SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING. I LOOKED AROUND THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I NOTICED THE REAR TRACK LIGHTS HAD PARTS OF THE LIGHTS THAT WEREN'T LIT UP. I LOOKED CLOSER AND THERE WAS WATER IN THE LIGHTS. WHEN I FIRST VIEWED THE VEHICLE, I LIKED THE ADDED SAFETY FEATURE OF THE BACK BEING LIT. I AM EXPERIENCING CONDENSATION AND WATER COLLECTING INSIDE THE LIGHTS, RESULTING IN THE LIGHTS FAILING. I KNOW THAT MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND HAVE SIMILAR CONCERNS. PLEASE SEE CARPCOMPLAINTS.COM. I AM ASKING THAT DODGE RECOGNIZE THIS MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND DESIGN FLAW, AND HAVE THE TRACKING LIGHTING FIXED, AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. I HAD FIRST CONTACTED MOPAR/DODGE CUSTOMER CARE. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALSO PAST SOME UNDEFINED 'SMALL WINDOW' WHEN DODGE WOULD ASSIST WITH THE COST OF REPAIR. CUSTOMER CARE REFERENCE #74976328. APPARENTLY DODGE DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. AGAIN, I REFER TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE THAT ARE EASILY ACCESSIBLE ON-LINE. AND I HAVE ONLY MENTIONED ONE SITE. I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW HOW MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS DODGE HAS DIRECTLY RECEIVED. THE CUSTOMER CARE EMAIL INDICATES THAT IF DODGE'S 'ON-GOING INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS' SHOW THIS TO IN FACT BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT GENERAL 'ON-GOING INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS' WILL INCLUDE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE REAR EXTERNAL LIGHT ISSUE. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE WILL BE LOOKED INTO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

THE REAR RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT HAS GOTTEN WATER INSIDE OF IT CAUSING SOME OF THE LED LIGHTS TO STOP WORKING. ONE OF THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS HAS ALSO GOTTEN WATER INSIDE OF IT WHICH HAS CAUSED IT TO STOP WORKING.

THE REAR RACETRACK LIGHTS KEEP TAKING ON WATER! IF I RECALL WATER AND ELECTRICITY DON'T MIX! THIS WAS ONE OF THE SELLING FEATURES THAT CAUGHT MY EYE TO BUY THIS VEHICLE. BUT APPARENTLY THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE LIGHTS AND AN EXPENSIVE FIX IF IT BURNS OUT. THE TAIL LIGHT IS FUSED WITH THE PLATE LIGHT. SO IF THE FUSE BLOWS YOU HAVE NO PLATE LIGHT WHICH IN MY STATE IS ILLEGAL. IF THE LIGHTS ARE OUT, THERE REALLY ISN'T MUCH ILLUMINATION IN THE REAR.

MOST OF THE LEDS HAVE GONE OUT AND I SWEAR I HAVE SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM THE LIGHT ONCE OR TWICE. NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE LIGHT IS OVER $1,000 AND I HAVE THE EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH I HAVE FOUND DOES NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE ALL OVER THE WEB. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME FOR SOME REASON SOME PEOPLES WARRANTY COVERS IT AND MOST ARE REJECTED. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN SINCE WATER AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS USUALLY DONT GET ALONG. I'M WONDERING HOW MANY VEHICALS MUST CATCH FIRE FIRST BEFORE A COMPLAINT RECALL IS ISSUED? OR DO A FEW PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED FIRST? I PERSONALLY KNOW FOUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND ALL WHO FOLLOW BEHIND US. PLEASE READ A BIT ON ANY OF THE DURANGO FORUMS, MOPAR FORUMS, OR EVEN ON YOUR OWN DATABASE OF COMPLAINTS. I KNOW THERE ARE HUNDREDS ON THERE BECAUSE I READ THE FORUMS AND AM PUTTING IN A COMPLAINT.

2014 DURANGO RACETRACK LIGHTS ON THE LIFT GATE HAVE WATER IN THEM. THE WATER HAS SHORTED OUT THE LEDS ON ONE SIDE ALREADY. I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL LEAD TO MORE LEDS SHORTING OUT CREATING A HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS AT NIGHT. ADDITIONALLY, I AM CONCERNED FOR THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AS THERE MAY BE SOME ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE DUE TO THE WATER. THIS IS A PART THAT IS NOT SERVICEABLE. I COULD NOT HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO PREVENT IT. IT IS A MANUFACTURER FLAW. IT IS AN EXTERIOR PART AND SHOULD BE SEALED TO PREVENT MOISTURE, MUCH LESS WATER, FROM COLLECTING INSIDE OF IT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE PART THAT IS VISIBLE FOR WATER TO ENTER. I FEAR THE LACK OF LEDS OPERATING WILL PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM PASSING STATE INSPECTION. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DODGE DEALER STATE THERE IS NO COVERAGE. THE DODGE DEALER QUOTED $1233 TO REPLACE THE PART. VEHICLE HAS 90K MILES. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. LEDS NOT WORKING WAS NOTICED 12/30/18

TAKATA RECALL: WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS WATER POOLING INSIDE THE REAR RACETRACK LIGHTING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. A PORTION OF THE RACETRACK LIGHTING WAS GOING OUT DUE TO THE WATER. LUCKILY THE DEALERSHIP WAS WILLING TO REPLACE IT FOR US AND DID (SO THEY SAY). WE'VE HAD THE NEW ONE IN FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THERE IS WATER POOLING ACROSS THE ENTIRE LIGHTING NOW. A BIGGER PORTION OF THE LIGHT IS STARTING TO GO OUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE AGAIN AND I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL START TO AFFECT THE REST OF THE COMPONENTS ON THE HATCH.

OF COURSE HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND DODGE WON'T DO A THING ABOUT IT, IT ACCORDING TO THEM IS A ME PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE HATCHBACK TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT BECAUSE WATER GETS INSIDE AND DOESN'T DRAIN. THE WHOLE BACK BRAKE LIGHT HAS CONDENSATION.

THEREFORE, THE METAL COMPONENTS OF THIS ASSEMBLY ARE ALSO BEGINNING TO RUST DUE TO THE PERSISTENT PRESENCE OF WATER. REPLACING THIS FAILED ASSEMBLY COSTS $1,300. THIS COMPONENT SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE WATER TIGHT ON WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLES, SUCH AS MINE. THIS FAILURE FEELS LIKE A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE ORIGINAL PART. DODGE SHOULD REPLACE THESE FAILED ASSEMBLIES AT A MUCH MORE REASONABLE PRICE, OR FREE OF CHARGE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE COMPONENT IS DESIGNED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, AND CERTAINLY ISN'T FOR ME AND MANY OTHERS.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS ASSEMBLY ON THE TAIL GATE FILLS UP WITH WATER CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO BURN OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE LIGHTS FAIL TO OPERATE AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD WITH LIGHTS SUBMERGED IN WATER. THE SEALANT USED AROUND ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED SO BADLY THAT WATER GATHERS IN THE TAILGATE AND POURS OUT AS TAILGATE IS LIFTED WHICH WILL CAUSE PREMATURE RUST AND FAILURE OF TAILGATE

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, I NOTICED THE "RACETRACK" STYLE LED TAIL LIGHTS, SPECIFICALLY THE LARGE SECTION ACROSS THE TRUNK, ON MY DODGE DURANGO WERE NO LONGER WORKING. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND MULTIPLE INCIDENTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE POPPED UP. IT APPEARS A FAULTY SEAL AROUND THE TAIL LIGHT ALLOWS FOR WATER TO ENTER THE INSIDE OF THE LIGHT CAUSING IT TO BURN OUT. THE ONLY FIX FOR THIS IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LED UNIT AT A COST OF OVER $1000 WHICH THE VEHICLE OWNER MUST PAY FOR. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LED LIGHT DOES NOT FIX THE LEAKING ISSUE ALLOWING FOR THE LIGHT TO BURN OUT AGAIN.

WATER IS IN THE LIFT GATE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS CAUSED THE LED LIGHT TO QUIT WORKING ON THE LOWER LEFT. WITH THE LIGHTS NOT WORKING PER PA STATE INSPECTION THIS FAILS THE SAFETY INSPECTION. I TOOK NOTICE OF WATER ON THE INSIDE OF THE LENS AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER THE LIGHTS QUIT WORKING. I STARTED O REMOVE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLE AND WHEN I PULLED OUT THE BOLTS, WATER JUST FLOWED OUT OF THE LIGHT. ONCE LOOKING INTO WHY I FOUND MUCH OF THE SEAMS COMING APART ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE FIXTURE. TO BUY A NEW LIGHT FIXTURE IT WILL COST $1150 FROM A DODGE DEALER PLUS 1.5 HOURS LABOR TO INSTALL AT $90 PER HOUR. THIS IS 1/20 OF THE PRICE OF WHAT I JUST PAID TO BUY THIS USED.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS OF MY 2014 DURANGO ARE FILLING WITH WATER BECAUSE OF BAD SEALS AND THE LED STRIP INSIDE IS SHORTING OUT. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO AND MY DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THEY REPLACED IT THEN BECAUSE I NOTICED THE ISSUE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY OFFERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON THEIR DIME SHOULD IT WORSEN. (IT DID WITHIN A MONTH) THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED DOES NOT COVER THIS. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 2 WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING HEAVY RAINS THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT BEGAN FILLING WITH WATER AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WASN'T MOVING, IT WAS SIMPLY PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OR IN THE LOT OUTSIDE OF WHERE I WORK. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL WORSEN AND CAUSE EITHER SAFETY INCIDENTS BECAUSE THE LIGHTS CAN'T BE SEEN AT NIGHT, OR WILL CAUSE ME TO BE CITED BY THE POLICE FOR LIGHTS BEING OUT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT THE REPAIR WILL BE BETWEEN $1000 AND $1400 DOLLARS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE DONE TOGETHER BECAUSE IT IS MANUFACTURED THAT WAY. I UNFORTUNATELY CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE LIGHT AT THIS TIME BECAUSE OF THE PRICE. I DID A CURSORY GOOGLE SEARCH TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND FOUND FORUMS, VIDEOS, AND PICTURES OF PEOPLE WITH BOTH DODGE DURANGO'S AND LATE MODEL DODGE CHARGER'S HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE REAR OF MY CARR FROM 2 WEEKS AGO AND MY ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP INVOICE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO. I ALSO PROVIDED THE URL TO ONE OF THE VERY FIRST LINKS THAT SHOWED UP IN GOOGLE BY SEARCHING 2014 DURANGO DEAD TAIL LIGHTS AS WELL AS AN ATTACHED PICTURE FROM A GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH USING THE SAME SEARCH.

LED TAILGATE LIGHT HAS LEAK IN GASKET ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER AND SHORTING OUT THE LIGHT.

I HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO THE INFAMOUS CONDENSATION/WATER IN MY REAR TAILLIGHTS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW. AND NOW MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT JEOPARDY. WHY MUST THE CONSUMER PAY FOR YOUR DESIGN FLAW. I'M A MOPAR FAN. BUT I'M HIGHLY THINKING OTHERWISE.

IN JULY WE APPROACHED OUR PARKED DURANGO. MY WIFE NOTICED THE TAIL LIGHT WAS NOT AS BRIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I HAD REMOTE STARTED THE CAR, SO WE COULD SEE THE LIGHTS. LOOKING CLOSER, WE SAW THAT IT HELD WATER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND "GOOGLED" THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD BUY A NEW TAIL LIGHT FOR $1,200. I BELIEVE DODGE INTENDED OWNERS TO NEVER (EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A COLLISION, OR IN OTHER RARE INSTANCES) NEED TO REPLACE SUCH A PRICEY PART, FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. HENCE THE LED. THEY OFFERED NO OTHER REMEDY. THIS FAILURE, ON AN ESSENTIAL SAFETY ELEMENT ON THE DURANGO, HAS BEEN NOTED BY MANY FOLKS ON THE WEB. I FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO, WHICH SHOWED REMOVING A FEW LIFT GATE BOLTS WOULD ALLOW THE WATER TO ESCAPE, HELPING TO LIMIT THE LOSS OF MORE OF THE LEDS INSIDE THE HOUSING. THAT WORKED, BUT IS NOT A SOLUTION TO THE DIMINISHED LIGHTING. WE NOW HAVE A SMALL SHOWER POTENTIAL WHEN STANDING UNDER OUR LIFT GATE. LIFTING THE TAILGATE REMOVES WATER, WHICH CONTINUES TO COLLECT DURING EVERY RAIN, AND EACH TIME WE WASH THE VEHICLE. LEAVING THE BOLTS IN A TRAY, INSIDE THE CABIN, SERVES TO REMIND ME OF THIS DILEMMA, AND MAY ALLOW INSECTS TO INFILTRATE THE AREA. THE WATER DAMAGE WILL ONLY INCREASE F THERE IS NO FUNCTIONING SEAL, SO AT LEAST, THIS PROVIDES AN OUTLET (BUT ONLY WHEN I LIFT THE GATE). FROM MY GOOGLE SEARCH, I LEARNED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS ALSO BEEN NOTED ON DODGE CHARGERS, AND OTHER PRODUCTS EQUIPPED WITH THIS SAME PART, AND THE FAILURE APPEARS TO STEM FROM SOME MICRO FRACTURES AT THE TOP OF THE FIXTURE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE MANUFACTURE OF THE LIGHT IS FLAWED, POOR MATERIALS WERE USED, OR ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES HAVE AN OVER-TORQUED NUT IN THAT AREA. I SURE WOULD LIKE SOME RELIEF FROM THIS UNSAFE, AND VERY EXPENSIVE, SITUATION.

TRACK LIGHTING ON THE REAR DOOR IS NOT SEALED AND WATER GETS INTO THE LIGHT HOUSING AND THE REAR CAMERA AS WELL AS THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. SOME OF THE LIGHTS IN THE TRACK ARE OUT AND I HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. WATER IS JUST SITTING ON THE LIGHTS SO THEY BURN OUT. I'M AFRAID THIS MIGHT START A ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE REAR DOOR OR MY REAR LIGHTS WILL JUST STOP WORKING.

THE LIGHT ON THE LIFTGATE COLLECTS WATER WHILE RAINING. THE WATER STAYS INSIDE THE LIGHT AND HAS MADE THE LED LIGHTS GO OUT WHERE THE WATER WAS COLLECTED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. THE LIGHT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND WITHIN ONE YEAR IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE PART IS CLOSE TO $1000 AND FROM WHAT I CAN TELL IT WILL JUST HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DESIGN IS FLAWED AND REALLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES IDENTICAL TO MINE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. WHILE SEARCHING FOR OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN SEARCH OF A FIX I HAVE REALIZED THERE IS SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO REALIZED THERE IS NO FIX. ANYONE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE LIGHT ENDS UP HAVING THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS FAIR TO THE CONSUMER TO HAVE TO SPEND CLOSE TO $1000 EVERY YEAR TO HAVE A WORKING LIGHT ON THE BACK OF THE CAR. I AM SUBMITTING THIS IN HOPES SOMETHING WILL BE DONE TO FIX THE DESIGN FLAW. THIS ISSUE IS ON MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO R/T WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. LIKE I SAID I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHT ONCE ALREADY AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP PAYING TO KEEP A WORKING LIGHT.

WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND I GO TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, EVEN WITH THE KEY IN THE CAR, THE CAR BEEPS AND TELLS ME THE KEY FOB IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE. THE RACE TRACK LIGHT WAS BEGINNING TO FOG UP AND WITH TIME WE STARTED TO NOTICE THAT IT WAS FILLING UP WITH MOISTURE. IT FILLED UP TO ABOUT AND 1" AND WE MANAGED TO RELEASE THE WATER BUT PART OF THE RACE TRACK LIGHT IS BURNED OUT NOW. I STILL HAVE THE WARRANTY BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT THOSE LIGHTS ARE NOT COVERED AND THE PRICING WOULD RANGE FROM $1000-$1200 TO FIX.

I NOTICED RECENTLY THAT CONDENSATION WAS ACCUMULATED IN THE REAR RACING TAIL LIGHT ON THE BACK HATCH OF THE TRUCK. I THEN NOTICED APPROXIMATELY 1" OF WATER BUILD UP THAT COLLECTED INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE SAME RACING STRIP TAIL LIGHT ON THE REAR OF THE HATCH. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE TO SEE IF IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE AND THERE IS SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS ALSO YOUTUBE.COM VIDEOS EXPLAINING HOW TO DRAIN THE LIGHT. I CALLED DODGE YESTERDAY AFTER DRAINING THE LIGHT (I HAVE A VIDEO), THEY STATED THAT COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE JUST WENT OUT OF WARRANTY. THE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT COSTING AROUND $1000-$ 1200.00. THEY ADVISED ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA TO SEE IF A RECALL COULD BE ISSUED. PLEASE LOOK AT THIS LINK, SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/TAIL-LIGHT-SWITCH-PROBLEMS.PHP YOUTUBE, HOW TO DRAIN: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=Z8ZUPYCTIXS THERE IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH THIS ASSEMBLY.

THE REAR HATCH TAILLIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY, ALSO KNOWN AS THE "RACE TRACK" LIGHT, COLLECTS WATER SOMEHOW INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY. I HAVE FOUND WATER INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY AFTER ANY VOLUME OF RAIN, BE IT A DRIZZLE OR A DOWNPOUR, AND AFTER ANY LENGTH OF CARWASHING. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A SMALL BIT OF WATER EITHER. DUE TO THE WATER ACCUMULATION IN THE ASSEMBLY, PART OF THE LED ASSEMBLY HAS NOW GONE DARK. DUE TO THE SHAPE OF THE LIGHT THE WATER ACCUMULATES IN THE BOTTOM CORNERS OF THE LIGHT AND JUST SITS THERE UNTIL A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY COMES ALONG TO EVAPORATE THE WATER. WHICH STILL LEAVES A LARGE AMOUNT OF CONDENSATION INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY. SO IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY GOES DARK AND QUITS WORKING, THAT'S THE BEST CASE SCENARIO. I HAVE READ ON EVERY MOPAR, DODGE, AND DURANGO SPECIFIC COMMUNITY FORUMS AND MESSAGE BOARDS THAT THIS IS NOT A ONE OFF ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT 90% OF DURANGO'S WITH THIS LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WITH SOME CASES REPORTING VISIBLE SMOKE COMING FROM THE ASSEMBLY DUE TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE FROM EXTENDED WATER DAMAGE, COMPLETE LIGHT FAILURE, AND MANY OTHER ISSUES CAUSED BY SHOTTY MANUFACTURING. TO HAVE THE ASSEMBLY REPLACED IS NO CHEAP VENTURE. THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ALONE RUNS AROUND $500 OR MORE, DEPENDING ON THE CONDITION, PLUS I'M FIGURING ANOTHER $300 TO $600 IN LABOR COST ON TOP OF THE PART COST. NONE OF THIS WORK IS COVERED UNDER ANY OF MOPAR, DODGE, OR CHRYSLER WARRANTIES. EVEN THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I PAID ROUGHLY $4,000 FOR. THIS SITUATION HAS NUMEROUS SAFTEY CONCERNS FROM NO VISIBILITY AT NIGHT FOR THE DRIVER'S BEHIND TO A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD WITH ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT CONSTANTLY IN WATER. I HOPE THIS ISSUE IS REMEDIED BEFORE MY VEHICAL OR ANYONE ELSE'S VEHICAL HAS MELTING TAILLIGHTS OR ANOTHER VEHICAL WEDGED IN THE REAR FROM MY REAR LIGHTS BURNING OUT. PLEASE RESEARCH ALL THE FORUMS OUT THERE.

2014 DODGE DURANGO LED REAR CENTER HATCH TAIL LIGHT. PART #MOPAR 68155950AJ. PLASTIC LIGHT ON HATCH, CRACKED OPEN, ALL THE WAY THROUGH TAIL LIGHT, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NOW SECOND CRACK HAS BEGUN AN INCH TO THE LEFT OF FIRST CRACK, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH YET. FIRST CRACK IS WIDE AND ALLOWS WATER IN WHEN IT RAINS, AND WHEN VEHICLE IS WASHED. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER, AS I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW. THIS IS A GARAGED VEHICLE. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY CONCERN, AS WATER IN TAIL LIGHT, CAUSES LED TAIL LIGHT TO FAIL. I REPORTED FACTORY ISSUE WITH TAIL LIGHT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID IT IS AN ISSUE, BUT NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY, AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS. UPON RESEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND THIS ISSUE TO BE WIDESPREAD WITH ALL 2014 AND NEWER DODGE DURANGO MODELS. THIS FACTORY DEFAULT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CENTER LED TAIL LIGHT, AND REDUCE VISIBILITY TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. ACCIDENTS MAY BE THE RESULT OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT. IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN THESE TWO CRACKS ORIGINALLY OCCURRED, AS THEY ARE NOT FULLY NOTICEABLE UPON A QUICK LOOK OR GLANCE. THE ONLY REASON I FOUND OUT THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS CRACKED, WAS I NOTICED IT HAD AN INCH OF WATER INSIDE TAIL LIGHT.

WATER POOLING INSIDE LEFT SIDE OF RACE TRACK TAILLIGHT ON DECK LID, NOTICED PROBLEM AT 45,000 MILES OF USE. ONE ELEMENT IS NOW BURNED OUT RESULTING IN LESS VISIBILITY TO OTHER OCCUPANTS ON ROADWAYS. SAFETY ISSUE PLEASE ADDRESS.

Mileage: 45,000

TAIL LIGHT AND CENTER LIFT GATE LIGHTS ARE POOLING WITH WATER AND CAUSING DARK SPOTS IN THE TRACK LIGHTING AND OTHER LIGHTS TO FAIL. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FACTORY LIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THE 2014 AND 2015 DODGE DURANGO

WATER POOLING INSIDE RACE TRACK TAIL LIGHT, MY TRUCK BARELY HAS 30000 AND I'VE TAKING IT TO CARMAX IN LAUREL, MD AND THEY SAY IT'S NOT COVERED THROUGH WARRANTY IT SHOULD BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE BETTER RACE TRACK TAIL LIGHTS TO PREVENT WATER FROM GOING IN THE LIGHT AND THE LIGHT BULB GOING OFF

THE TAILLIGHTS ON THIS MODEL ARE CALLED "RACETRACK" LIGHTING AS DEEMED BY DODGE. THESE LIGHTS ARE ALL LED AND RUN THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE VEHICLE. OVER TIME, IT APPEARS THAT THE MATERIAL USED TO CONSTRUCT THE ASSEMBLY DEVELOPS CRACKS. THE ASSEMBLY MAY ALSO ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE UNIT AND POOL. EVENTUALLY, THIS WILL IMPACT THE LED COMPONENTS OF THE UNIT THEREBY RENDERING THE VEHICLE A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE TAILLIGHTS WILL NO LONGER BE AS EFFECTIVE AS DESIGNED DUE TO UNIT FAILURE.

I RESIDE IN MASSACHUSETTS, WHERE WINTERS CAN BE LONG AND HARSH. EITHER RAINING OR SNOWING. I PURCHASED MY 14 DURANGO WITH 29K IN MILEAGE BACK IN JUNE AND AROUND DECEMBER I NOTICED THERE TO BE A PUDDLE OF WATER MOVING BACK AND FORTH IN MY LEFT SIDE LIGHT THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE TAILGATE (NOT THE BRAKE LIGHT). MAYBE A FEW DAYS LATER A FEW OF THE LED LIGHTS BURNT OUT AND I NOW HAVE NO LIGHTS ON THE SIDE.I HAVE SINCE TRIED CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE COMPANY THAT I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH AND NEITHER OF THEM WILL FIX NOR REPLACE THE LED STRIP OF THE RACETRACK LIGHT. THE LIGHT ITSELF COSTS AROUN $1,000 AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP MY VEHICLE IN DOORS WHILE IT RAINS OR BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER IF ANYTHING WERE TO CATCH FIRE DUE TO ELECTRIC UNIT HITTING WATER. I HAVE SINCE JOINED A DODGE DURANGO PAGE ON FACEBOOK BRINGING THE MATTER UP AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY. IF DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS FROM2014-2016 DODGE DURANGO'S I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. I BOUGHT A FARELY UNUSED CAR IN WHICH I PUT $4,000 DOWN AND NOW 7 MONTHS LATER I HAVE TO PAY $1,000 FOR AN ENTIRE LIGHT STRIP THAT SHOULD NEVER GET WATER IN IT? IT BLOWS MY MIND THAT I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. PLEASE HELP US DURANGO OWNERS.

THERE IS A LEAK ON THE LED TAILLIGHTS. WATER IS NOW TRAPPED INSIDE MY TAILLIGHTS. THIS IS CAUSING MY TAILLIGHTS TO SHORT CIRCUIT MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BRAKE AND DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY OTHER 2014 DURANGO OWNERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

STANDING WATER IN THE RACE TRACK TAIL LIGHT FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 3 YEARS. DEALER HAS NOT FOUND THE ROOT CAUSE, JUST KEEPS REPLACING IT. CAUSES THE TAIL LIGHTS TO FLICKER ON AND OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE RAINING, WATER ENTERED INTO THE EXTERIOR TAIL LAMPS. DUE TO THE WATER INTRUSION, SOME OF THE TAIL LAMPS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SOME WATER ALSO LEAKED FROM THE TAIL LAMP AREA. THE AIRPORT CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000. UPDATED 10/17/17*LJ *TR

2014 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL 5.7 LITER REAR RACETRACK LED LIGHTING BURNED OUT AT LOWER RIGHT SIDE BOTTOM. IT APPEARS WATER HAS ENTERED AND BURNED OUT THE LED BULBS IN THAT AREA.

Mileage: 50,000

THE REAR CENTER TAIL LIGHT (RACETRACK) IS COLLECTING WATER WHICH CAUSED THE LED'S IN THE BOTTOM CORNERS TO STOP WORKING.

Mileage: 55,000

WATER AND CONDENSATION IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. I THINK THE NAME OF THIS IS CALLED "RACE TRACK" TAIL LIGHTS. WATER IS STUCK IN THERE AND HAS BURNT OUT ONE SIDE OF MY LED LIGHT. IT JUST SLOSHES AROUND WITH NO WAY TO ESCAPE. THE OTHER SIDE IS SUBMERGED TOO BUT HASN'T YET BURNED OUT. THE ENTIRE PIECE HAS TO BE REPLACED AND ITS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE PART IS ON "NATIONAL BACK ORDER". I'M SURE IT WONT PASS INSPECTION AND I COULD GET A TICKET FOR IT. MY DURANGO IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE AS I JUST HIT THE 3 YEAR MARK AND I AM SICKENED THAT THIS PART IS OVER $1000. I WISH THIS WOULD BE A RECALL FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

WATER INSIDE RACETRACK LIGHT

WATER AND/OR CONDENSATION IN REAR LIFT GATE TAILLIGHT IS CAUSING THE LED LIGHT TO START BURNING OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS GLITCH AS I HAVE SEEN THIS IN SEVERAL OTHER DURANGO'S ON THE ROAD, AND A FEW OF THE NEWER STYLE CHARGERS (SAME EXACT BURNING OUT LOCATION). WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART (EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AND WILL FIGHT WITH CHRYSLER ON THIS DEFECT) AS FROM A MILEAGE STANDPOINT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WILL ATTEMPT FURTHER REIMBURSEMENT FOR THESE EXPENSES, HOWEVER THE PART WAS ORDERED BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF MARCH 2017, AND IS STILL ON BACK ORDER AS OF 4/26/17 WITH NO RELEASE DATE. THIS SORT OF BACK ORDER TELLS ME THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE SUPPLY FOR ALL THE OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE!

CENTER REAR TAILLAMP ON TAILGATE IS GETTING WATER INSIDE OF IT THAT PUDDLES AND COLLECTS IN BOTTOM OF ASSEMBLE. CONCERNED THAT LED UNITS IN THE LAMP MAY SHORT OUT.

THE REAR LIFT GATE LED "RACETRACK" TAILLIGHTS CAN BECOME FILLED WITH WATER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY. WATER IN THE TAIL LIGHTS CAN CAUSE A SHORT WHICH COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD. TAIL LIGHTS MAY ALSO STOP WORKING WITH IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE OWNERS THAT ARE OUTSIDE FACTORY WARRANTY ARE FORCED TO PAY OVER $1,000 TO HAVE LIGHTS REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT DURING HEAVY RAIN STORM.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, THE FIRST TIME WAS A MONTH OR SO AGO BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK AND THE WOUND WAS MUCH WORSE. THE EXPOSED EDGE OF THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT ARE EXTREMELY SHARP AND EXPOSED ANYTIME THE REAR HATCH IS OPEN/UP. I THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING A VIDEO SHOWING HOW IT COULD PEAL AND APPLE OR WATERMELON SKIN. MY RIGHT ARM HAS A SHORT 3/4" SCRAP (1ST) AND NOW AN ALMOST 3" LONG SCRAP THAT IS TAKING ITS TIME TO HEAL. IF YOUR SKIN TOUCHES THOSE EDGES AND HAS ANY AMOUNT OF FORCE IT WILL SCRAPE THE SKIN. THIS HAPPENS DURING UNLOADING IF A PACKAGE SHIFTS WHILE UNLOADING. *TR

I WAS FOLLOWING A DODGE DURANGO SUV IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON EISENHOWER EXPRESSWAY GOING INTO CHICAGO AT DUSK AND THE LIGHTS SURROUNDING THE TAIL LIGHTS AND ACROSS THE REAR OF THE DURANGO WERE SO BRIGHT I COULD NOT SEE ALL THE OTHER TRAFFIC SATISFACTORILY. I COULDN'T GET AHEAD OF THE SUV, SO HAD TO SLOWDOWN AND CHANGE LANES TO DROP FAR ENOUGH BEHIND SO I COULDN'T SEE THE IRRITATING LIGHTS.THE LIGHTS WERE SO BRIGHT, I FELT I WAS DRIVING INTO HEADLIGHTS.
