2014 durango racetrack lights on the lift gate have water in them. The water has shorted out the leds on one side already. I am concerned this will lead to more leds shorting out creating a hazard for other drivers at night. Additionally, i am concerned for the overall safety of the vehicle as there may be some additional electrical system damage due to the water. This is a part that is not serviceable. I could not…

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…

The tail running light is out, after looking at the affected area, this is due to water being inside the lighting area. We have seen other complaints about this in other durango's. Dodge wants to charge us to replace this. This seems to be a defect and we are not willing to pay for such a repair. Water inside a running light is clearly not the consumers fault.
