2015 DODGE DURANGO Exterior Lighting Problems

When I first got the car I didn’t notice the problem until one day it rained very hard and I didn’t care that much to drive I sat that night out and waited until the next day I go out to my car and my rear light bar the race track taillight completely out like it wasn’t on where my truck is the outside lights where the break lights are was on but the truck area is out I’m receiving citations after citations for this reason I can’t get insurance because they won’t pass the inspection for that light common sense but I told my car lot mega moters here in the Houston area they told me they couldn’t help me with the issue so I’m in a deep depression and I love my car but this issue is going to far now and I’m willing to fix if it’s fixed able but this issue is definitely with dodge themselves I’ve noticed a couple more Durangos rear taillights out on the road also I be wanna stop them and ask about the issue because I need help

Im again reporting the racetrack tail lights. Im seeing a lot more water intrusion in dodge durangos of many years. We want answers! This needs to be investigated stat! Consumers should not have to pay $1800 for failure on dodges part! They know this is an issue with many years of these durangos. There is already a class action lawsuit against them for this issue. Please investigate this! We want answers....

The Racetrack taillight assembly is partially working..I have to take it to a Chrysler Dodge dealer to get it fixed and I hear it is expensive..I am [XXX] on a fixed income but I know it has to be fixed..it’s dangerous what happens if they all go out and I have no lights..this problem has to be fixed..

I am filing a complaint regarding a serious safety defect in the 2014-2023 Dodge Durango racetrack taillight assembly. The taillight allows moisture intrusion, leading to electrical failures, overheating, and potential fire hazards. This issue is the subject of a class action lawsuit [XXX] , et al., v. FCA US LLC), yet Dodge has not taken action. Key Safety Concerns: Fire Hazard: Electrical shorts and melted wiring have been reported. Safety Risk: Flickering or failed brake lights and turn signals increase the risk of accidents. Financial Burden: Replacement costs exceed $1,800, and vehicles cannot pass state inspections with a failed taillight. Widespread Issue: The defect affects multiple model years, indicating a manufacturer defect rather than wear and tear. The class action lawsuit highlights Dodge’s failure to address this safety issue despite numerous complaints. A jury trial is set for January 2027, but owners should not have to wait years for resolution. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue and require Dodge to issue a recall to fix or replace defective taillights at no cost to owners. Please provide an update on this complaint.

The rear led license plates light obtain moisture corroding the electrical as do the racetrack rear light and go out. I have replaced the 2 rear license plat light assemblies and have gone again again causing myself to receive a traffic citation and attorney fee's due to this defect that thousands of other people are filing complaints about. All of the rear body lighting needs to be recalled and reimbursed for these expenses. The license plate led light(2) are not cheap from the dealer. I have also now received a traffic citation for the brake lighting not properly working on the race track lighting so I will be filing this as a legal matter with the courts to be reimbursed A police report was done as I was ticketed for both on 2 different occasions.

The license plate light bulbs keep burning out caused by moisture/ wetness in the connectors due to poor design of rear lights.

The rear LED license plate lights are corroded and need replacing. One does not work.

Driver side and third row passenger side seat belts have stopped retracting, will not retract. Exterior tail light is going out due to faulty manufacturer seal, water gets in and destroys tail light from inside which also lets water get into license plate bulb and makes the license plate bulbs burn out constantly. I feel unsafe driving my vehicle due to the seatbelt not retracting, if I have to slam on my brakes, the seal belt does not lock up like it should. I cannot have a passenger in the third row passenger side due to the seatbelt being loose and not retracting at all. Vehicle has not been reproduced, confirmed or inspected yet by anyone other than myself and passengers. No warnings before any of the issues.

Sections of LED brake light/race track light has stopped working due to water intrusion in rear panel. Back panel is not secured properly, allowing water to enter, corrode the harness and lights to fail. Due to this, the license plate harness & connectors are corroded as well. Replacing the tag lights will not fix the problem, you must replace the whole wiring harness for it to work again. The wiring harness is sold as one piece now by manufacturer due to this KNOWN issue, costing $600-$1000 to purchase and install. Manufacturer has stopped selling just the plate light plugs because they know the common issue with water damage, light failure and corrosion. The license plate lights are required by law to be working. Owners cannot continue replacing every year due to the manufacturers inadequate design. This impacts drivers with safety and on a legal level from law enforcement. There were no warning signals on my dash of this issue. Law enforcement has pulled me over for this issue and recommended speaking with the manufacturer.

The rear 'race track' tail lights fail to light or are dim in lower sections of the assembly installed on the rear tailgate. Water enters the assembly over time and collects in the lower sections of the assembly causing the installed LED's and circuitry in those sections to fail. This repair is not covered by the extended warranty and would cost drivers approx 800 to install a replacement which would also leak.

Rear gasket on tail light assembly is faulty and causes water to leak in to rear running light and the light fails and doesn't work anymore. I'm requesting an investigation or recall on the rear assembly to have them fixed or replaced for safety and uniformity. The OEM part number is 68453659AA

The racetrack style light on the back of my vehicle has water buildup on the inside. It has started to burn out the light. The unit is still partially functional so it's not available for inspection. The left license plate light on my vehicle doesn't function due to the corrosion inside the connector as well. This is a safety risk due to other driver not being able to see my Vehicle clearly during night or other conditions. There were no warning indicators on the dash about this issue. The Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than myself.

The rear back light in my dodge Durango went out on it own and I've seen multiple Durango with the same issue . I’ve attached example . Ive seen multiple cars with this same issue so there has be manufacturers issue

The racetrack light bar located on the trunk door is dimming due to water intrusion from the poor/lack of sealing on the light. This lack of sealing keeps making water go in to the light, thus reducing the car's visibility at night. A lot of Durangos have this problem and there is no fix from the dealer, other than buying a new $1,300.00 light. The only thing we can do is to actually drain the water once a week by removing screws in the light bar, but at last, this only prolongs the inevitable. Some folks have resorted to removing the light from the tailgate and applying plastic friendly silicone to prevent water intrusion. Still, water enters the light bar. It's a shame.

The contact's daughter owns a 2015 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the middle rear taillight, known as the racetrack light, frequently burned out due to moisture entering the brake light housing. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer where the light had been replaced; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was no longer covered under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Rear "Racetrack" break light filled with water and now has stopped working.

THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER SEAT JUST POPPED OPEN WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. THE REAR VIEW CAMERA OFTEN DOESN'T RESPOND IMMEDIATELY WHEN WE PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE OR JUST STAYS BLACK FOR AWHILE. NAVIGATION IS SLOW SOMETIMES. IT SEEMS TO BE THE THE SYSTEM KEEPS ON RESETTING BECAUSE MY RADIO STATIONS ARE ERASED WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR. THE REPROGRAM AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THAT. WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THERE IS A SOUND COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. LIKE A RATTLELING SOUND. WE STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT IT IS. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE ARE DRIVING AND IT SEEMS LIKE A GEAR IS SHIFTED WHEN WE DID NOT STEP ON THE GAS.

Water has collect in race strip light, since then I’ve been experiencing electrical problems with the car.

The center light on the truck has to be replaced many times due to the light going out due to water intrusion. This is a causes the light to go out and be a safety hazard

Cracks in the side trim of race track (tail) light are present at bolts that attach light housing to vehicle. This has allowed moisture into the area of the led tail lights. Tail lights are no longer working correctly.

Liftgate tail light leaking and holding water causing light failure and electrical shorts. Which cause visibility for other drivers to not see your back end at night.

The center track light (brake light) is defective; it collects water from the rain or melted snow and has shorted out parts of the light. The shorted area does not light up when braking. With parts of the track light blacked out by the short, it is not as effective in letting drivers behind me know when I am braking. Initially, the shorted light was a small corner of the light, which is not several inches. With the blackened area of the light growing as I an unable to stop the water from seeping in, it creates a safety concern for a vehicle of this size, especially when driving in a the highway. A Dodge dealer/mechanic shop in DeKalb, IL recognized the problem and said it was very common, but was not covered under the warranty. There were no warnings prior to the failure.

The lift gate light housing assembly develops cracks due to design flaw, allowing housing assembly to fill with water and cause lights to malfunction. The housing assembly is available for inspection upon request. The rear lights of the vehicle are not functioning as intended and can cause rear end vehicle collision, which car cause injury or worst to the passengers. The problem has been verified by my local Dodge dealership and Chrysler has been made aware of the issue as well. They have replaced the housing assembly 2 times for me in the past but Chrysler has not actually done anything to my knowledge about the design flaw and root cause of the light housing cracking. I currently have water intruding into my now 3rd housing and this time both the dealership and Chrysler are saying they are not going to do anything about it and if I want the cracked housing replaced then I need to pay for parts and labor myself, but what is the point of doing that if its a design flaw and its only a matter of time before the new housing cracks again. I am not the only Dodge Durango owner with this issue, these are many other people reporting this issue on Dodge Durango Forums. The vehicle has been inspected by my local Dodge dealership but not by any other entity. I don't have the maintenance records for the first time this happened, but my local Dodge dealership does. I think the first time the problem was reported was October 2019, and has now happened 2 more times.

I have suffered a known issue with the exterior lighting on these vehicles. Water has gotten into the tail light housing and caused the light to go out…a $1300 part. Water intrusion has been long documented in these model year Durangos, with no recall ever issued.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Durango. The contact stated upon inspection it was discovered that the brake light strip was dim on the rear passenger’s side of the vehicle. The contact indicated that water had accumulated inside the taillight assembly housing. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the rear taillight assembly was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 80,000.

Mileage: 80,000

Tailgate light keeps getting moisture and burning out light . 3rd time I have replaced it

The taillights on my vehicle have developed a leak for water to enter the housing, and cause them to burn out. This is common amongst all early model years 2014 and even up to the current model year. This is a manufacturer defect and poses a serious safety concern. Drivers behind me may not be able to see my brake lights if they are burned out. The housing is for led lights and is VERY expensive, it should have been sealed better for the life of the vehicle. Again, this is a very serious problem and deserves to be investigated properly. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your action on this safety item. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the rear exterior taillights failed to operate as designed. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact discovered corrosion on both taillight assemblies and on the rear license plate lights. The contact discovered that the failure was caused by excessive moisture build-up in the rear taillight assemblies. The contact initially called the local dealer and was informed that there were no recalls on the Vin. The contact was then referred to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the Vin was not under recall. The contact was referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

DODGE KNOWS OF THIS DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT WHICH IS $1000 PLUS LABOR . TOTALLY RIDICULOUS AND A OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD

MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL WENT OUT, SO I REPLACED BOTH MY LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS. MY VEHICLE NOW REGISTERS THAT MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS OUT CONSTANTLY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS OPERATING PROPERLY AND MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL DOES THE SAME PERIODICALLY. SINCE MY PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE NAVIGATION NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE RADIO DISPLAY ITSELF HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN, THIS IS HOW YOU OPERATE MOST OF THE VEHICLES CLIMATE FUNCTIONS, BACK UP CAMERA, NAVIGATION AND RADIO. WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES ON, IT IS SUPPOSED TO TURN ON. HOWEVER MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, IT CHOOSES TO BE OFF, AND I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO DECIDE TO TURN ON. IF I DO NOT HAVE THE A/C KNOW TURNED OFF WHEN IT DOES THIS, BOTH MY FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTERS WILL TURN ON FULL BLAST UNTIL THE DISPLAY CHOOSES TO OPERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE HAD THIS SYSTEM UPDATED WITH A USB DRIVE AT A DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. OVERTLY, I AM NOT AT ALL SATISFIED WITH HOW THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES CONTINUE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RESOLVE.

I HAVE CONTACTED FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER OF AMERICA) ABOUT THE HIGHLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TAIL LAMP ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IN COLD TEMPERATURES MY CENTER 'TRACK BAR' AND PASSENGER TAIL LAMP DON'T TURN ON WHATSOEVER INCLUDING THE LED BRAKE LIGHT OR TURN SIGNAL ON THE ONE SIDE. WHEN THEY DO DECIDE TO WORK THE BOTTOM CORNERS OF THE 'TRACK BAR' APPEAR OUT AND THIS IS DUE TO A HIGHLY COMMON ISSUE OF THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLIES BEING POORLY SEALED AT THE FACTORY ALLOWING WATER/MOISTURE TO MAKE ITS WAY IN CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO FOG UP AND EVENTUALLY FAIL. THIS CAN BE VERY EASILY LOOKED INTO AND VERIFIED ON MULTIPLE FORUMS, CUSTOMERS OF THE VEHICLE OR EVEN YOUTUBE VIDEOS ADDRESSING THIS.

EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE LIGHT FAILS AS WELL AS THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT AND BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE OPERATING AT DUSK OR NIGHT AS REAR OF VEHICLE IS NOT ILLUMINATED. DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AND SEALED TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING FURTHER. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED. TO REPAIR, OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE TO HAVE LIGHT REPLACED AT AN EXUBERANT COST. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD REPAIR AT NO COST AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE RACETRACK TAILLIGHTS ACCUMULATE WATER INSIDE ... THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT MANY HAD TO SPEND 1000'S OUT OF POCKET .. THE DEALER FIX IS TO DRILL HOLES IN LIGHTS TO DRAIN WATER ... AFTER REPLACEMENT OF LIGHTS THE NEW ONES STILL ACCUMULATE WATER SO THIS IS A BAD DESIGN THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED

WATER GOT INTO THE LED HOUSING ON THE TAILGATE AND ALL LIGHTS ON TAILGATE THEN WENT OUT CAUSING AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR I NOW NEED. I WENT TO MILFORD (PA) DODGE DEALERSHIP WHEN I FIRST NOTICED WATER POOLING IN THE LIGHT. ( NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE) AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT. AND THE CPO THEY GAVE ME WON'T COVER THE REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE HAD 18K ON IT WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE WATER!!! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THESE TRUCKS AND DODGE IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT! NEARLY EVERY DURANGO I SEE HAS AN LED OUT DUE TO THIS.

REAR LED TAIL-LIGHT PARTIALLY BURNED OUT DUE TO WATER LEAKING INTO TAIL-LIGHT COVER DUE TO POOR DESIGN OF ASSEMBLY. ENTIRE LED TAIL-LIGHT MUST BE REPLACED, IS COSTLY, AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN AND CHRONIC PROBLEM AMONGST DODGE DURANGO OWNERS!

THE LED BACK TAIL LIGHTS ARE NOT PROPERLY SEALED, SO WATER CAN LEAK INTO THEM AND SHORT OUT THE LIGHTS, AND CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE.HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE CHRYSLER CORP., BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS A 2015 MODEL IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS WAS A BAD SEAL RIGHT OUT OF THE FACTORY.

Mileage: 60,000

THE "RACETRACK" TAILLIGHT SYSTEM HAS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE WITH WATER INFILTRATING THE ENCLOSED SEALED LED TAILLIGHT SYSTEM. THIS CAUSED PORTIONS OF THE TAILLIGHTS TO BURN OUT AND CAUSE LOWER VISIBILITY THAN INTENDED. WARRANTY COMPANIES CONSIDER THIS A "SERVICEABLE" PART LIKE NORMAL BULBS, BRAKES, TIRES, ETC. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS "SERVICEABLE" PART IS AN ALL ENCLOSED UNIT AND NOT A SIMPLE BULB REPLACEMENT. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PANEL AT A COST OF NEARLY $1000!!! OR JUST DRIVE WITH THE LIMITED SAFETY OF A FULLY FUNCTIONING TAILLIGHT SYSTEM. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE AND ONCE ONE SECTION GOES OUT THE REST USUALLY FOLLOW. THIS DESIGN FLAW SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A SERVICEABLE PART AND FC SHOULD BE MADE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND FIX THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE.

Mileage: 52,000

SEAL ON THE CENTER TAIL LIGHT 'RACETRACK LIGHTING' IS INEFFECTIVE. THE LIGHT FILLS UP WITH WATER, DOES NOT DRAIN, AND STOPS FUNCTIONING. DEALER IS AWARE OF IT BEING A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT IS STILL CHARGING OVER $1,200 TO REPAIR.

REAR TAIL PANEL OF LED STRIPS IS OUT AT ALL TIMES, CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN. STARTED WITH LOWER RIGHT SIDE OF RIBBON LIGHT OUT, NOW THE ENTIRE STRIP IS OUT, INCLUDING THE REQUIRED TAG LIGHTS. STARTED WHEN I ONLY HAD ABOUT 60K MILES ON IT. CONTACTED DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATE THEY'RE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT WILL COST AT LEAST 1K JUST FOR THE PART, NOT INCLUDING LABOR.

DRIVING AT NIGHT, CAR PASSES ME AND AGGRESSIVELY HONKED/POINTED BEHIND ME. PULLED OVER AND NOTICED MY REAR LIGHTS WERE COMPLETELY OUT. MESSED WITH THE LIGHT SWITCH TO SEE IF IT MADE A DIFFERENCE, IT DID NOT. NEXT DAY I SEE WATER POOLED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TAILGATE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY. DID RESEARCH AND LEARNED TO REMOVE BOLTS TO DRAIN WATER FROM THE ASSEMBLY. SOME FUNCTIONALITY RETURNED BUT RIGHT LOWER SIDE REMAINS OUT.

Mileage: 58,000

FIRST MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. REPLACED THE BULB AN IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. IT NOT THE FUSE OR CONNECTOR EITHER. THEN MY PASSAGER SIDE TAILLIGHT AN MY LIFT GATE LIGHT DO NOT WORK.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE TAILLIGHTS HAVE LEAKED AND NOW THE BUILD/LED IS STARING TO GO OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED REMOVING BOLTS TO LET MOISTURE ESCAPE. ONLY PROBLEM IS NOW THE LIGHT HAS BEEN DAMAGED, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE MANUFACTURER WOULD THINK UNSCREWING THE LIGHT HOUSING WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO FIX A MISTAKE ON THEIR END! I GET THEY ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING VEHICLES, BUT SHOW SOME INTEGRITY AND MAKE IT RIGHT WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN AT ABOUT 70K MILES, WHICH I GET IS OUTSIDE OF THE 'VERY SHORT' BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, BUT MAYBE TRY TO WORK WITH THE VEHICLE OWNER TO TRY AND KEEP THEM AS A CUSTOMER. THIS SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL, BECAUSE THE LAMP COULD POTENTIALLY BURN OUT DUE TO A DEFECT ON THE MANUFACTURERS PART. THERE IS NO LIGHT BULB TO REPLACE, IT IS AN ENTIRE LIGHT HOUSING THAT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. THE LIGHT COULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY HARMING PEOPLE.

Mileage: 70,000

FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND SECTION OF THE LED 'RACETRACK' TAIL LIGHTS ON THE TRUNK OF MY DURANGO HAS BEEN BURNED OUT. APPARENTLY, THIS IS COMING FROM WATER FILLING UP IN THE LEDS DUE TO WEATHER STRIPPING TO KEEP WATER OUT FAILING TOO EARLY. THIS NORMALLY WOULDN'T BE A HUGE CONCERN SINCE TAIL LIGHTS CAN BE REPLACED, HOWEVER CHRYSLER/DODGE/FIAT HAS MADE IT ENTIRELY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND TO EVEN TRY TO AFFORD A REPLACEMENT. THE LEDS CANNOT BE EASILY REPLACED, THEREFORE YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT PORTION ON THE TRUNK. ON TOP OF THAT, THIS PART MUST COME WITH THE BACK UP CAMERA, YOU CAN'T BUY THE PART WITHOUT THE BACK UP CAMERA. THE COST FOR THIS IS 1,085 USD WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD, AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COST OF LABOR AS WELL. THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF ANY VEHICLE ARE A HUGE SAFETY FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE, BOTH DURING THE DAY IN DARK FOGGY/RAINY CONDITIONS AS WELL AS ANYTIME AT NIGHT. CHRYSLER/DODGE/FIAT MUST EITHER MAKE THIS INCREDIBLY CHEAP TO REPLACE, OR PUT IN A RECALL TO BE REPLACED AT THE COMPANIES EXPENSE. THIS COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT THE VEHICLES INSURANCE COMPANY MUST PAY FOR, OR EVEN DEATH TO ANY PERSON OR ANIMAL RIDING IN THE VEHICLE IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. LUCKY, MY ENTIRE 'RACETRACK' LED TAIL LIGHT SYSTEM HAS NOT COMPLETELY FAILED, YET. KEYWORD: YET. IT'S INEVITABLE, IT WILL HAPPEN THE MORE WATER THAT GETS INTO THE LED SECTION OF THE LIGHT.

Mileage: 80,000

THE TAILGATE LIGHTING IS TAKING IN WATER, BECAUSE IT HAS FILLED WITH WATER MY LED LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT PORTION OF THE STRIP. WHEN I TOOK MY DURANGO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO FIX 2 RECALLS I ASKED IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM THEY SAW A LOT, THEY SAID THAT IT IS A PROBLEM THAT GETS BROUGHT TO THEM PRETTY OFTEN.

MY RACETRACK TAILLIGHT IN THE BACK OF MY 2015 DODGE DURANGO HAS ACCUMULATED WATER BUILD UP ON BOTH SIDES OF IT AND HAS CAUSED THE LEFT PART OF THE UNIT TO SHORT OUT. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THIS BECAUSE ABOUT HALF THE DURANGOS I SEE ON THE ROAD HAVE THIS AS WELL. IT IS NOTHING MYSELF, OR ANY OTHER OF THE OTHER OWNERS ON THE ROAD HAVE DONE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE. I SUGGEST MAYBE ALLOCATING SOME OF THE CHEROKEE AND WRANGLER REVENUE OVER TO PAY FOR THIS IN ORDER TO KEEP CUSTOMERS SAFE CONSIDERING THE UNIT IS $1200.00. THAT'S A PRETTY HEFTY EXPENSE FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE TO INCUR IF THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO BRING IT UPON THEMSELVES. THIS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I DON'T NEED TO INCLUDE A PICTURE BECAUSE EVERYONE AT CHRYSLER IS FULLY AWARE OF THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM DUE TO HOW MANY PEOPLE SHARE THE SAME CONCERNS. AGAIN, IT'S CRAZY HOW THIS IS NOT COVERED.

Mileage: 40,000

THE REAR HATCH LIGHT ASSEMBY HAS A LEAK AND HOLDS WATER. TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS WAS TOLD LED LIGHTS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT A DEFECT IN LED LIGHTS, ITS A DEFECT IN THE ASSEMBLY WHICH IS CAUSING LED LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION, WHICH IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AS IF THE LIGHTS GO OUT DUE TO THE DEFECT I WILL HAVE NO BACK LIGHTS WHICH COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE MY VEHICLE IN TIME TO STOP CAUSING A REAREND COLLISION. THIS IS DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING, WHICH COULD ALSO CAUSE A SHORT IN THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE. IT IS NOT CONDENSATION OR MOISTURE AS EVERYTIME IT RAINS OR ITS WASHED THE ASSEMBLY FILLS WITH WATER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS.

Mileage: 46,753

I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A CRACK OR OPENING IN THE RACE TRACK LIGHT OF THE DODGE DURANGO TRUCKS FROM 2015 AND ABOVE. I HAVE A DODGE DURANGO LIKE MY WIFE, MY NEIGHBOR, AND MY MOTHERS NEIGHBOR. ALL OF US HAVE AN OPENING AT THE TOP OF OUR RACETRACK LIGHTS WHERE THE LIGHT IS NOT COMPLETELY SEAL AND THE OPENING IS ENOUGH TO ALLOW WATER TO GET IN AND SETTLE INTO THE LIGHT. THIS IS AN ISSUE AS IT CAN CAUSE A SHORTAGE IN THE RACE TRACK LIGHT. FOR MYSELF IT HAS ALREADY ACCURED WITH MINE OPENING BEING ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE AND MY WIFE BEING ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. THIS IS AN ISSUE AS EVEN MY NEIGHBOR WHO HAS A BRAND NEW DURANGO HAD THIS ISSUE. I'VE ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND HALF AND PURCHASED IT BEYOND THE 36K WARRANTY. THIS IS A ISSUE IN WHICH CAN CAUSE A SHORTAGE OF THE TAIL LIGHTS, WHICH CAUSES THE OWNER TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A DEFECTIVE TAIL LIGHT COMING FROM THE MANUFACTURE. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLIANT AND FORUMS OF OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN A LEADING CAUSE FOR OWNERS TO HAVE TO PAY OVER $1,000 TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER OF DODGE IN WHICH NEITHER OF THEM CAN SPEAK ON THE MATTER TO FIX OR REMEDY THE ISSUE. THIS SHORTAGE CAN BE A FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARD AS OWNERS DRIVING THAT HAVE WATER LEAKING INTO THEIR RACE TRACK LIGHT CAN THEN END UP HAVE THE TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT DUE TO AN ISSUE OF A DEFECTIVE ITEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER IN WHICH THE OWNER HAS NO CONTROL OVER THIS MATTER AND WOULDN'T THINK TO EVEN LOOK AT IT UNTIL SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY WRONG. THE BIG ISSUE IS THAT I'M SHIPPING MY VEHICLE TO GERMANY SOON AND THIS IS AN ISSUE IN WHICH I DON'T WANT MY VEHICLE UNABLE TO BE PROCESSED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE ITEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

IN MARCH OF 2019 A POLICEMAN IN MY HOMETOWN STOPPED ME AND TOLD ME MY TAILLIGHT ON MY 2015 DODGE DURANGO WAS OUT. ON FURTHER EXAMINATION THE POLICEMAN AND I DISCOVERED THAT PART OF MY TAIL LIGHT WAS NOT LIT UP AND THAT MY TAIL LIGHT HAS WATER IN IT. WE CAN SEE THE MOISTURE AND THE WATER LINE. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I BOUGHT VEHICLE. THEY EXAMINED MY VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A BAD DESIGN AND THAT WATER WAS INDEED IN MY TAILLIGHT. THEY FURTHER TOLD ME THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT VEHICLE WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS WATER INTRUSION. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $1,300.00 APPROX. TO REPLACE TAILLIGHT. IVE BEEN RESEARCHING FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS AND FOUND A FORUM THAT HAD 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ON 2015 DODGE DURANGOS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT I HAVE. ONE COMPLAINT EVEN STATED THAT WHILE SHE DROVE HER CAR SHE COULD SMELL BURNING . I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD INDEED START A FIRE.

THE SERVICE PERSON STATED THAT THERE WAS WATER IN THE LIGHT, AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED TO PASS INSPECTION FOR ROUGHLY $1200. WHEN ASKED HOW THE WATER GOT IN, HE DID NOT KNOW. BECAUSE WATER WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SHORT, IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE MAXIMUM CARE VEHICLE PROTECTION WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR.

RACE TRACK LIGHTING ON TAILGATE PARTIALLY SHORTED OUT. APPEARS TO HAVE MOISTURE INSIDE. DEALER SAYS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT ISN'T COVERED UNDER EXTENDED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

MY VEHICLE HAS A LED LIGHT BAR ASSEMBLY ON THE LIFT GATE THAT INCLUDES WHAT DODGE CALLS A "RACE TRACK" TAIL LIGHT, PLUS THE REVERSE LIGHTS, AND REAR LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. THESE ARE ALL IN ONE ASSEMBLY. THIS ASSEMBLY HAS A FAULT OR SHORT TO GROUND THAT CAUSES IT TO NOT ILLUMINATE THE "RACE TRACK" TAIL LIGHT AND THE REAR LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. THE DEALER INDICATES THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $1000. I RECENTLY NOTICED WATER IS ALSO ENTERING THIS ASSEMBLY, WHICH MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL SHORT TO GROUND. LED LIGHT ASSEMBLIES SHOULD NOT BE FAILING IN THREE YEARS. SINCE THIS IS A COMPLETE ASSEMBLY, THERE ARE NO SIMPLE BULBS TO REPLACE. WITH THIS ASSEMBLY FAILING, MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE BECAUSE THE REAR LICENSE PLATE IS NOT ILLUMINATED, PLUS ALL OF THE FACTORY REAR TAILLIGHTS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED OR HAD ANY REAR DAMAGE.

THE CENTER TAIL LIGHT (REFERRED TO AS THE "RACETRACK" WENT COMPLETELY OUT, AS WELL AS THE TWO LED LICENSE PLATE ILLUMINATION LAMPS. IT WAS DISCOVERED IN EARLY SEPTEMBER 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AT THE TIME, AND RUNNING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON. SINCE THEN, I HAVE TRAVELED WITH NO CENTER TAIL LIGHT AND NO LICENSE PLATE ILLUMINATION LAMP. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP (SPORT HYUNDAI DODGE, EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NJ 08234) FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. THE SERVICE ADVISER STATES THAT THE TAIL LIGHT HAS FAILED, AND THAT HE HAS ORDERED A REPLACEMENT, WHICH SHOULD BE IN THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 7, 2018.

WATER LEAKING INTO REAR LIFTGATE LIGHT

THE MIDDLE SECTION OF MY REAR "RACE TRACK LED" TAILLIGHT WENT OUT AFTER ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS. THERE IS WATER IN THE HOUSING FOR THE LIGHT. I HAVE NEVER BEEN REAR ENDED OR IS THERE ANY VISIBLE CRACKS. FROM WHAT I'M FINDING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT IS AFFECTING MANY DURANGO OWNERS.

THE REAR PASSENGER LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME THE BLINKER WILL NOT WORK. WE HAVE CHANGED THE WHOLE UNIT AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I NOW HAVE IT AND THE SHOP AND GOING TO COST ME A LOT OF MONEY. MY DURANGO IT NOT OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I LOVE MY DURANGO 2ND ONE WE HAVE BOUGHT.

THE RACE TRACK BRAKE LIGHTING ON THE BACK HATCH HAS FILLED WITH WATER AND FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION. THERE ARE NO SCRAPES, SCRATCHES, OR ANY INDICATION THAT ANYTHING IS DAMAGED. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR LIGHTING AND THE FIX IS OVER $1,000.

THE RACETRACK TAIL LIGHTING IS FILLING UP WITH WATER DUE TO LEAKING SEALS. THE WATER IS SHORTING OUT THE LIGHTING SYSTEM AND CAN COMPLETELY SHORT OUT LEAVING NO CENTER BRAKE LIGHT ON THE LIFT GATE, LEAVING YOU VULNERABLE TO A REAR END COLLISION. THIS AFFECTS THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THE FIX IS TO HAVE THE CONSUMER PAY $1100 TO REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

I HAVE 2015 DOSGE DURANGO RT AND IIT HAS RACETRACK STYLE TAIL LIGHT WHICH DIVIDED IN TO THREE SECTION RIGHT SIDE TAIL LIGHT, CENTER LIFT GATE TAIL LIGHT AND RIGHT SIDE TAIL LIGHT FROM THIS THREE SECTION THE CENTER SECTION WHICH IS MOUNTED ON TAIL GATE IS STARTED TO HAVE WATER BUILDING UP IN IT AND I COULDNT FIGURE OUT AT FIRST THAN AFTER DOING LITTLE SEARCH ON INTERNET I CAME ACROSS LOT OF PEIPLE'S COMPLAINT WITH SAME PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION AND THAN SUDDENLY THE RIGHT LOWER CORNER OF CENTER TAIL GATE TAIL LIGHT JUST WENT OUT. FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM I AM DEFINITELY BLAMMING DODGE FOR INSTALLING BAD DEFECTIVE PARTS ON THEIR VEHICLES AND THEY SHOULD CHANGE THEM OUT UNDER RECALL FOR FREE BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY SHAME TO CHARGE 50,000$ FOR CAR THAT HAS FACTORY INSTALLED DEFECTIVE PARTS AND COMPANY IS NOT TAKING STEPS TO CHANGE THEM OUT.

MY REAR TAIL LIGHT HAS WATER IN IT. TOLD DEALERSHIP AT 36K OIL CHANGE AND THEY SAID YES IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME JUST PUT A HOLE IN IT TO ALLOW IT TO LEAK OUT. I SAID NO THAT ISNT WHAT YOIR SUPPOSED TO DO AND THEY TOLD ME DODGE WILL NOT COVER IT.

Mileage: 36,280

THE REAR LIGHT CENTER LIGHT PANEL ON THE LIFT GATE (AKA RACETRACK LIGHTS) WERE NOT SEALED PROPERLY AND AS A RESULT WATER PENETRATED BOTH SIDES AND BURNED OUT ALL THE BULBS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE AND THE DEALER WILL NOT COVER. THIS IS A CLEAR DEFECT AND DEALER SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR SINCE, WITHOUT THESE LIGHTS, THE CAR IS NOT AS SAFE SINCE IT WOULD BE LESS LIKELY FOR A FOLLOWING DRIVER TO SEE ME BRAKING OR BACKING UP WITHOUT THESE LIGHTS FUNCTIONING.

DRAINED BY REMOVING LOWER OUTSIDE SCREW & SEVERAL OUNCES RAN OUT (THANKS YOU-TUBE). BOUGHT VEHICLE IN EARLY JANUARY 2016 AS A NEW 2015 SXT. HAS ABOUT 24,000 MILES. I DRIVE THE TRUCK EASY AND THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. A QUICK YOU-TUBE SEARCH YIELDED THIS AS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY 2014, 2015 DURANGO MODELS. HEARD THIS IS ABOUT A $1000+ REPLACEMENT.

Mileage: 24,000

WATER IS COLLECTING IN THE BACK TAILLIGHTS. WHEN THE BACK MOUNTING BOLT IS REMOVED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF WATER DRAINS OUT. THE CONDENSATION REMAINS AND WILL LEAD TO FAILURE OF THE LED LIGHTS.

RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT LEAKS, TRAPPING WATER INSIDE AND BURNING OUT THE REAR LED LIGHT BULBS. VERY EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE (I'VE HEARD $1000.00) AND BASED ON SOME ONLINE SEARCHES, APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

Mileage: 49,200

REAR TAIL LAMPS ARE SEALED LED UNITS WHICH ARE GETTING WATER / CONDENSATION INSIDE. THIS CAUSES THE LED LAMPS TO FAIL AND AFFECT REAR VISIBILITY. SEALED LAMPS SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY WATER ENTRY. THE ENTIRE UNIT MUST BE REPLACED AT A SIGNIFICANT COST TO THE CONSUMER, WITH A RETAIL PRICE OF $422.00, PART ONLY. LONG TERM SAFETY IS THE ISSUE AS THESE LAMPS FAIL FROM THE WATER ENTRY.

Mileage: 18,000

WATER IS INSIDE THE LIFT-GATE RACE TRACK LIGHTING ASSEMBLY. WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER "WATER INTRUSION" OF WHICH THIS IS. NEXT MONTH MY VEHICLE WILL BE 2 YEARS OLD SO IF I DON'T IT FIXED AT A COST OF $1,100 THE LIGHTS WILL SOON BE MOLDY, SHORTED OUT OR CAUSING THE LIFTGATE TO RUST OUT. THIS SHOULD BE A WARRANTY FIX REGARDLESS OF AGE OR MILES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING - BRAKE LIGHTS - REAR REAR CENTER LED LIGHT IS FILLED WITH WATER. LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WIDESPREAD ISSUE. REPLACING THE LIGHT IS NOT THE PERMANENT FIX. THE PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR EVEN AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OVER THE TIME. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

Mileage: 24,000

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT CONNECTION BURNT AND MELTED THE CONNECTION SOCKET WHERE THE BULB CONNECTS. HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE CHARGER WAS PART OF A RECALL. THE 2015 DURANGO HARNESS IS NOT ON A RECALL, YET. IT'S THE SAME PART, WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

Mileage: 24,000

DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE $300 TO SWAP OUT THE BULB ON THE DRIVERS' SIDE BLINKER WHICH CAN BE DONE EASILY IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES WITH REGULAR OR LED BULB, HOWEVER IT SEEMS THAT AFTER HAVING SWAPPED OUT THE BULB WHICH SHORTED OUT ON THE TERMINAL CONNECTOR ITSELF (WHY IS MY BRAND NEW CAR CAUSING SHORTS FIRST OF ALL) SO I INSTALLED AN LED ON THE RIGHT SIDE AS WELL. HOWEVER, THAT CAUSED PROBLEMS SAYING THE RIGHT BLINKER IS OUT. SO NOW, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I HAVE THE LED OR THE REGULAR LIGHT INSTALLED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BLINKER IT NOW GOES IN AND OUT SAYING "RIGHT SIDE BLINKDER OUT" - AND THAT'S EVEN WHEN IT WORKS!??!!! WHY IS THE COMPUTER THINKING THE BLINKER IS OUT WHEN I SEE IT WORKS? GRANTED, THE STUPID LEFT SIDE STOPPED BEING DUMB BUT NOW IS THERE SOME ATTENUATION OR SOMETHING THAT THE COMPUTER DOESN'T LIKE SINCE YOU BURNED OUT MY FIRST BULB AND IT'S CAUSING ISSUES AT THE RIGHT SIDE? DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS AS A RECALL UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTELY AN ISSUE, IT'S NOT A BULB PROBLEM, IT OCCURS WITH ANY BULB AND WHETHER IT I ACTUALLY OUT OR NOT IS NOT ACCURATE PER THE REPORTING FROM THE COMPUTER. SOMETIMES IT SAYS IT'S OUT AND IT IS, OTHER TIMES IT SAYS IT'S OUT AND IT'S NOT... THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE NOTIFYING OTHER SURROUNDING PEOPLE/VEHICLES OF INTENT TO TURN.

REAR CENTER LED LIGHT SECTION FILLED WITH WATER. FROZEN WATER CAUSED THE LIGHT TO CRACK MAKING IT EVEN MORE LIKELY TO FILL WITH WATER.
