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.

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…

Water is in the lift gate light assembly. This caused the led light to quit working on the lower left. With the lights not working per pa state inspection this fails the safety inspection.

I started o remove the light assemble and when i pulled out the bolts, water just flowed out of the light. Once looking into why i…

The rear tail lights of my 2014 durango are filling with water because of bad seals and the led strip inside is shorting out. I bought my vehicle 2 years ago and my dealership replaced the entire tail light assembly because of this issue and now it is happening again. They replaced it then because i noticed the issue the day i bought the car and they offered to fix the problem on their dime should it worsen. (it did…

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…

I have fallen victim to the infamous condensation/water in my rear taillights. This is obviously a design flaw. And now my family's safety is at jeopardy. Why must the consumer pay for your design flaw. I'm a mopar fan. But i'm highly thinking otherwise.

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.

In july we approached our parked durango. My wife noticed the tail light was not as bright on the driver's side. I had remote started the car, so we could see the lights. Looking closer, we saw that it held water. I called the dealership and "googled" the problem. The dealership told me that there was no recall, and the warranty was expired. I was told that i could buy a new tail light for $1,200. I believe dodge…

The rear tail lights assembly on the tail gate fills up with water causing the lights to burn out. This is a safety issue as the lights fail to operate and could cause a fire hazard with lights submerged in water. The sealant used around assembly has failed so badly that water gathers in the tailgate and pours out as tailgate is lifted which will cause premature rust and failure of tailgate
