The rear center "racetrack' lights are taking on large amounts of water. The left lower side of the light panel is now inoperable and leaves a dark spot where it should be illuminated. Prolonged exposure to moisture will continue to burn out lights and eventually make the rear lighting inoperable. The vehicle has no damage to the exterior.

The tail lights on this car keep going out because they fill up with water. The license plate lights go out often as well due to water filling up. Attached is a picture where you can see the bottom left starting to go out and now the whole light and both license plate lights are out a few days later. The light assembly was replaced a year ago at the dodge dealership

Water has pooled up in the rear track light and shorted out the lights in that particular area including my license plate light. 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. The dealership states there isn't a crack but the water is getting in and this is becoming a know issues…

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.

I own a 2014 dodge durango that has water pooling in the center tail light. I had it replaced 1 year ago and the same problem again. Started collecting water and shorted out. It is an expensive part costing about $1,000. Chrysler will not cover the costs or admit it is a quality issue, although they are on backorder and hard to get. Seams like this is a pretty common problem.
