2015 Dodge Durango Exterior Lighting

REAR TAILLIGHT WAS NOT SEALED PROPERLY AT FACTORY AND WATER GOT INSIDE. WATER WATER COLLECTED INSIDE AND BURNT OUT THE RIGHT LOWER TAILLIGHT. I HAVE SEEN 100'S OF OTHER DODGE DURANGOS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DODGE NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR CUSTOMERS AND RECALL AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURING WHEN IN A CAR WASH AS WELL AS IN RAINY, WET WEATHER.

REAR TAILGATE LED LIGHT AND PLATE LIGHTS SHORTED OUT AND ARE NON FUNCTIONAL DUE TO WATER LEAKING INTO LIGHT ASSEMBLY FROM BAD SEALING PROCESS. *TR

WATER POOLING IN TAIL LIGHT.

THE REAR CENTER LIFT GATE RACETRACK LIGHT (LOWER RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE) IS DIM AND FLICKERS ON AND OFF LIKE IF I WERE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THIS IS BOTH WHEN IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. I BELIEVE WATER OR MOISTURE ACCUMULATES IN THAT AREA. I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL TAILLIGHT FAILURE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YRS OLD AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I SEE A LOT OF 2015 MODELS WITH THAT EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND FEEL THAT DODGE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO ITS COSTUMERS IN FIXING THIS. THANK YOU.

REAR TRACK LIGHTS FILL WITH WATER. IT IS REALLY DIM AND THE ONLY WAY TO DRAIN IS TO UNSCREW THE BOLTS. AFRAID THAT EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE THING WILL BURN OUT.

WATER LEAKS INTO REAR LIGHT ON THE TAILGATE ON A REGULAR BASIS. WHETHER THE CAR IS PARKED WHEN IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE OR I'M DRIVING IN THE RAIN, WATER GETS INTO THE LIGHT AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE PORTION OF THE LIGHT NO LONGER WORKS. AS MORE WATER GETS IN OVER TIME I FEAR MORE OF THE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES INSIDE THE TAILGATE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH DODGE DURANGO'S FROM 2014+ THRU THE PRESENT. SOME OWNERS HAVE SHARED THAT AS THIS ISSUE WORSENS THE LIGHTS FLICKER WHICH COULD MAKE OTHER DRIVERS THINK YOU ARE BRAKING WHICH AGAIN COULD CAUSE A MOTOR ACCIDENT AND EVEN LOSS OF LIFE. DODGE HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE AND CHARGES APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO FIX WHEN A BETTER GASKET AND SEALANT AROUND THE LIGHT HOUSING COULD FIX THE ISSUE FOR A FRACTION OF THE PRICE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2015 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE REAR TAILLAMPS ALLOWED FOR WATER INTRUSION IN THE TAILLAMP HOUSING WHICH CAUSED THE BULBS TO BURN OUT PREMATURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN OT THE DEALER WALDORF DODGE RAM 2294 CRAIN HWY WALDORF, MD 20601 (240) 754-2990 WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED, NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

REAR TAILLIGHT/BACKUP LIGHT ASSEMBLY ALLOWED WATER PENETRATION AND SUBSEQUENTLY SHORTED OUT SOME OF THE LED BULBS INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY. REAR LIGHTING AT NIGHT IS IMPAIRED AND MAKES VEHICLE LESS LIKELY TO BE SEEN AT A DISTANCE AT NIGHT. ASSEMBLY INCLUDES THE BACKUP CAMERA AND IS ONLY REPLACEABLE AS THE ENTIRE LIGHTING/CAMERA UNIT. DEALER HAS INDICATED THAT THE UNIT IS NOT REPAIRABLE AND IT IS NOT BEING REPLACED BY FICA. CONTINUED WATER PENETRATION COULD ALSO SHORT OUT THE BACKUP CAMERA AND MAKING IT IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW.

REAR TAIL LIGHT (RACETRACK LIGHT) WAS IMPROPERLY SEALED AND ALLOWS WATER RUNOFF TO COLLECT INSIDE BOTTOM PART OF RACETRACK LIGHTING. THIS CAUSES THE RACETRACK LIGHT TO BURNOUT AND EVENTUALLY STOP WORKING ENTIRELY. THIS IS A HAZARD THAT IF NOT FIXED AND TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING, COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND SERIOUSLY INJURE PEOPLE. THIS IS THE MOST COMMON AND WORST ISSUE WITH NEWER DURANGO'S AND BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN UNKNOWN TO PURCHASER, SHOULD NOT COME OUT OF POCKET. MOST DEALERSHIPS ARE CHARGING ANYWHERES FROM $1000-$1300 TO FIX. A GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW THIS ISSUE WITH NEARLY EVERY DURANGO WITH 'RACETRACK' LIGHTING AND SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE IT CAUSES ACCIDENTS IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. PLEASE HELP US! *TR

WATER IN THE TAIL LIGHTS. EVERY TIME I GET THE CAR WASHED OR IT RAINS I HAVE TO DRAIN THE TAILLIGHT. I'M SO AFRAID THAT THE WATER WILL SHORT OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR BURN OUT THE TAILLIGHTS, THEN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $600 FOR A NEW ONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED THROUGH A HOLE INTO THE TAIL LIGHTS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. AS A RESULT, THE LIGHTS SHORT OUT. THE DEALER LICCARDI CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (130 US-22, GREEN BROOK TOWNSHIP, NJ 08812 (732) 752-7373) STATED THAT SINCE THE 33,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO COVER THE REPAIRS. THE WHOLE TRACK LIGHT UNIT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST $2,500. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED THE CONTACT A COMPLAINT NUMBER AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

REAR TAIL GETS WATER DAMAGE CAUSING LED TO GO DARK

WATER HAS INFILTRATED THE REAR LIFTGATE RACETRACK LED LIGHT ON 2015 DODGE DURANGO. PORTION OF THE LIGHT IS OUT. MUCH INFORMATION HAS BEEN POSTED ABOUT THIS AS A DESIGN FLAW WITH DODGE. 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.
