Rear racetrack tail light fills with water. Looks like dodge overtightened the bolts causing the plastic to crack which leads to the main tail light to fill with water and short out. This causes the tail lights to not function making it a huge safety concern. 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…

Like so many others, my taillight has filled with water and stopped working. I was notified by a fellow driver. I had no idea and could have easily been rear ended. I have no idea why this issue isn't a recall. It is a danger and will cause injury or death eventually.

The backup light assembly is this vehicle fills with water during rain or car washes, speed is irelevant. The water shorts out the led lights, causing them to fail. The assembly is supposed to be water tight, therefor there is no way for the water it collects to drain. Therefore, the metal components of this assembly are also beginning to rust due to the persistent presence of water. Replacing this failed assembly…

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.

My rear racetrack light started filling with water. Shortly after the right side went out. Called my local dodge dealer and was told i'd have to replace the whole piece which is $800.00+. This is ridiculous to have to replace the whole thing. Sounds like a design flaw to me. And when i researched this issue; it seems to be a regular thing for durango owners. Wish mopar/dodge would offer some assistance with this…

The hatchback tail light went out because water gets inside and doesn't drain. The whole back brake light has condensation. The bottom left part of light went out (shorted), but in time the whole brake light assembly will go out. This will be a safety hazzard and dodge will be responsible if it is not fixed by recall. *dsy *dt consumer stated with the lights not well lit at night, it is possible someone wont see me.…

The light is not sealed properly therefore water has gotten into the bottom of my center led light on the tail gate. It has caused both lights on each side to go out. I am worried that this could possibly cause an electrical fire while driving or just in general when the car is on. My back up camera also has some issues at times and i wonder if water getting into the light has anything to do with this.

Rear "race track" style tail lights on the back tail gate fill with water and, as a consequence, the leds low on the passenger side, where the water pooled,are not working. This occurs during rainfall regardless of stationary or under motion. I do not know how long this has been going on. I noticed it in november 2017.

I submitted a previous report related to this issue. Today my car was parked on the street and totally started on its own. This car does not have a remote start. I was walking towards my car trying to turn off the panic horn which was sounding. I was approximately 15 to 20 feet away from the car when it started. This is the 4th time this car has started on its own. The car was under warranty the other three times…
