Rear taillight led bar went out after water entered the light bar through small openings and defective weather stripping. The lights on the durango are not sealed good enough to prevent water from entering. The light and the rear camera stopped working for the same reason. This is a defect that originated during production and can cause an accident. The consumer should not be responsible for replacing these parts…

July 14, 2019 - while the dodge durango is in motion, the dash display suddenly went blank, various sensor lights turned on, transmission gear would not shift, and the wiper blades intermittently turned on. Similarly problem was experienced in may 2019, when the repair shop identified and replaced a faulty bcm (body control module). I took the vehicle to a local dodge dealership about a month ( june 2019), for the…

The racetrack tail light will fill with water during a rain storm causing the rear running light to go out. This could pose a serious safety issue if the running lights go out at night.

Here is just one of the many link talking about…

Chexk engine light has been coming on and off for the past few days. Got it scanned and the code the comes up is a p052 - faulty oul pressure sensor. After some research i found there are quite a few other models effected by this issue but only certain ones are being repaired without cost to customer. On my dash the oil preasure reads at 85%-100% at idle and stays at 100% when giving it gas.

I was driving on the freeway during a very bad rainstorm at night on january 16th, 2019. I was traveling around 50 mph on the freeway, in the number three lane, when my car shut off, where i lost complete power to my engine. My speedometer dropped from 50 to 30 mph immediately, leaving me with no power, to barely make it to the emergency lane. No power, no brake, no steering-nothing. My horn was also honking, my…

The rear liftgate "race track" light assembly badly collects water. I'm not talking condensation either. After a day of steady rain it almost fills both sides of the light. After one car wash it has about an inch of water in it. It happens any day, any time of the year when ever it's raining. I have to remove the two bottom mounting screws to drain the water out. Most of the leds have gone out and i swear i have…

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…

The tailight is not water tight and water leaks in and pools on the bottom. This water shorts out the tailight and causes it to not light up at all. This short circuiting can also cause multiple other issues for things unrelated to the tailight, causing other systems to short.
