I don't understand this vehicle is still fairly new and my daytime running light on the driver side stop working for some reason and I don't understand I also noticed all the lighting system in the rear all has water in it now I'm worried is all the lighting in this car going to go bad because I see it in a lot of cars out here on the road. I tried everything in the settings I've tried everything

1-Driver side LED inside the headlight burnt out doesn't work anymore can't replace LED in the headlight must replace the unit. Vehicle can be ready on request 2-the safety of me and my family are at risk of crashing or going off the road at night time because the lighting of the LED light doesn't put out a bright light of the road and objects in front of my vehicle like the other side that works 3- the dealer said there is no recall so they can't do nothing. 4- the police said if it don't get fixed soon I would start getting tickets for a blown out headlight but the headlight bulbs work 5- no messages or warning came on the dash this problem began June 1,2025 I looked at reviews of this happening to many 2022,2023,2024 dodge durango's and the front end and fender has to come off the vehicle to get to the headlight unit screws witch leads to over a thousand dollars for parts and labor this is a safety problem and a malfunction that I hope it don't lead to someone getting hurt or killed because of dodge not taking responsibility for a malfunction part. The Dodge corporation always makes sure there cars are safe but everybody that has this problem with there 2022,2023,2024 dodge Durango's must file a complaint

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON DRIVER'S SIDE INOP. DUE TO LED STRIPS IN HEADLAMPS NOT WORKING. SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME FROM A SIDE ROAD, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF YEARS FROM DODGE. THERE ARE NO WARNING LAMPS OR ANY SYMPTOMS. I NOTICED IT WHEN I PARKED IN FRONT OF A STORE AND NOTICED IN THE REFLECTION IN THE GLASS THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DRL NOT WORKING AND REMEMBERED SOMEONE PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ME EARLIER THAT DAY AND WONDERED IF THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE REASON FOR THIS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER BULB REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENT FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP MANUFACTURERS FROM REQUIRING A WHOLE $1200 HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY (PLUS LABOR) JUST BECAUSE A COUPLE OF LED STRIPS STOPPED WORKING. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM SINCE THERE ARE MANY FORUMS ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLAMP DRL'S GOING OUT.

Driver’s side daytime running light ceased working permanently. This creates a safety issue due to its role in conjunction with the headlights.

The vehicle suffers some type of known issue that is causing a driver's side daytime running light failure. From all the research I have done and forums I have read, this is ALWAYS the driver's side failure. The manufacturer can offer no solution to this when questioned about it other than offering up a complete headlight assembly at over 2000 dollars. The LED lighting that fails is non replaceable and non repairable. Having this failure on the driver's side can cause immediate threats in low visibility situations that could lead oncoming traffic to believe the passenger side that continues to always work is actually the driver's side. This causes in my opinion a threat of head on collision in low visibility such as dense fog like i have in my area daily.

Both DRL stop working Both turn signals stop working

Left side daytime running light failed, Yes, currently available for inspection Issue causes oncoming vehicle visibility issue The problem has been confirmed by dealer and has been reproduced. The issue also happens to other Mopar vehicles with LED DRL strips. Component has been inspected by dealer only. Has not gone up the chain. No other warning lamps or messages were displayed. Vehicle passed all internal tests before dealer computer scan.

Driver side DRL malfunction and impacts visibility at night. No warning/error codes. Starter Relay causing no crank/Fuel pump failure causing me to stall out in the middle of a intersection

My Durango has been in and out the shop since May. It was the fuel pump and everything connected to it which is a pain in the rear. Also the design of the taillight should be assessed as well. It’s very pricy to fix when it gets the water and dark spots in it . All of us aren’t blessed with a house with a garage.

I have a daytime running light that went out on the driver-side front. It is an LED light designed to last for 30,000-50,000 hours. I have an estimate of more than $1,700 by Port Lavaca Dodge in PL, TX to replace the light from the dealer. I also purchased an extended warranty but it specifically excludes bulbs. I have also seen at least 2 other Dodge Durangos in our small town with the same bulb out. I have also looked at the complaints on the internet to see that this is not a secluded issue but a real problem. On 6/14/2025, I received a warning ticket #[XXX], from Texas DPS for this defect. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

the part number is not listed specifically on extended warranty and my car doesn’t have bulbs so the whole headlight assembly has to be replaced and dealer won’t input it as concealed headlight module keep using part number and this is 2nd time having issue. the first time it was covered under warranty and now they don’t want to and it was same issue

Dodge Durango Daylight rear led strip lights went out on driver side. We have only had the car for 2 years and we have under 30,000 miles. This could be a safety hazard. This can cause an accidents and should be fixed by the manufacturers. This is not a simple fix that the owner can do on its own. The owner would have removed the whole bumper to replace the whole light fixture. This can damage the car even more if the owner is not a properly trained mechanic. Also reviewing forums online and I see a lot of 2021 up new dodge Durango model are having the same issue and it's costing the owner $1000 plus to repair it at the dealership. That is outrageous and is not fair to the owner. Please please make this a recall. Thank you for taking the time out to review my concerns.

Headlight assembly’s short out causing blinkers not to work. This is for the 2021 and up Durango’s. I am on my 2nd headlight assembly replacement. I know other 2021+ Durango owners that have the same issue and I also see multiple newer Durango’s on the road with the same issue. Consumers should not have to pay out of pocket for this repair as it is apparently a common and known issue that cost thousands to fix. Dodge needs to make this right.

The backup camera display is very bright with little or no dimming at night. Backing during the day in any scenario (trailer or not) is acceptable. The camera display being this bright at night reduces rearward visibility with the mirrors due to a loss of night vision. The bright backup camera display is especially an issue when backing a trailer at night since you must use the side mirrors (trailer blocks the camera). As with any backup camera, it has limited usefullness (for backing) with a trailer connected and therefore is not used. In order to use the mirrors, I must cover the display with something to block the light and wait until my eyes readjust to the darkness before backing up. The dealership acknowledged that my infotainment system was problematic and they replaced the infotainment system due to this and other issues. However, the same issues are still happening and when brought to the dealership again they stated I must now wait for the next update (unknown timing). They did not state whether this issue (or any of the other infotainment issues this vehicle has) would be fixed in that update. This may be an issue with my specific vehicle due to the other previous issues, as I do not know if others exhibit this or not. The date selected below is the most recent occurrence of the issue. It happens each time I need to back the trailer at night.

Water get inside the taillights and the lights stop working. Dangerous in night
