WATER IN MY 14 DODGE DURANGO RACE TRACK TAIL LIGHT
ODI 11219393
Exterior Lighting
Rain water gets into rear tail lights and causes short in tail light. Light burns out and needs premature replacement due to leak from water. Due to safety issue with lights being burn out while driving in rainy conditions, especially at night, is a large safety issue which can result in accident. I do not want to be rear ended due to this safety issue, especially with my 1 year old daughter and wife in the vehicle..

There is water in the rear tail light race rack. Must be a seal issue since the is no damage to the tail lights. Hopefully the lights don't go out before it is fixed.

The design of the 'racetrack' style taillight assembly allows water and water condensation to accumulate within the assembly. This has been replaced under parts warranty for my vehicle 3 times. If these taillights are not warrantied the cost to replace is prohibitive, resulting in many vehicles with reduced rear light visibility.

Water leaked in and accumulated inside the rear "racetrack" led taillight assembly, causing failure to led lights on the driver side of the assembly. The design of this assembly is clearly flawed due to thousands of reports of this happening. Dodge quoted my $1100 for the replacement part. Absolutely ridiculous.

Add mine to the many complaints about water getting into the tail lights that are in the hatch. Also known as race track tail light. There is a bug inside as well so the gap in this "sealed" unit must be huge. You can see the mosquito in img_6163.jpg. Also have trouble with water getting in the drivers side headlight about a year ago. I purchased this vehicle new and it has never been in an accident. This is an…

The rear racetrack lights keep taking on water! If i recall water and electricity don't mix! This was one of the selling features that caught my eye to buy this vehicle. But apparently this is a big problem with these lights and an expensive fix if it burns out. The tail light is fused with the plate light. So if the fuse blows you have no plate light which in my state is illegal. If the lights are out, there really…

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. I started noticing this problem on or around 4/12019 and has progressively gotten worse. Doing research has lead me to several posts on the internet with others having this same issue. Here is just one of the many link talking about…

Water has pooled up in the lower right led housing and shorted out the lights in that particular area. At one point the whole led strip went out on the lift gate. I didn't know it happened until i smelt a strong electrical fire smoke scent and started looking around to find the source. Water continues to pool on both sides of the led racetrack taillights.
