Exterior Lighting
Water and/or condensation in rear lift gate taillight is causing the led light to start burning out. This seems to be a manufacturers glitch as i have seen this in several other durango's on the road, and a few of the newer style chargers (same exact burning out location). Working with the dealership they have ordered the replacement part (extremely expensive and will fight with chrysler on this defect) as from a…

Exterior Lighting
The light on the liftgate collects water while raining. The water stays inside the light and has made the led lights go out where the water was collected. This happened twice now. The light was replaced by the dealer where purchased and within one year it happened again. The part is close to $1000 and from what i can tell it will just happen again. The design is flawed and really needs to be fixed. I have noticed…

Exterior Lighting
The passenger side tail light and the center tail light (mounted on tailgate) fill with water. This results in the passenger side tail light often not working. The center tail light is occasionally totally inoperable and now has leds permanently burned out in the lower portion. Neither tail light fixture has ever been damaged and the problem with each one appears to be the result of manufacturing (or design) defects.

Water leakes into the rear "race track" light assembly that is on the rear lift door. Vehicle is stationary when problem is notced. I have to remove bottom bolt on rear of assembly to drain water and then it fills up again. A section of the lighting no longer works.

This has happened twice, the first time was a month or so ago but it happened again last week and the wound was much worse. The exposed edge of the left and right rear brake light are extremely sharp and exposed anytime the rear hatch is open/up. I thought about making a video showing how it could peal and apple or watermelon skin. My right arm has a short 3/4" scrap (1st) and now an almost 3" long scrap that is…

After a year of owning this vehicle i noticed the rear hatch break light was collecting water. This large cluster cracked down the very center almost as if the weight of the two ends was not supporting putting pressure on the center. Once it fills with water all the lights that are submerged in water burn out.

The tail lights (commonly referred to as the 'race track tail lights) mounted on the exterior of the rear hatch constantly fill up with water which is burning out the lights. This is apparently a very common problem on these vehicles. This part should have been covered by the manufacturer. This happens any time it rains and in the seattle area that is very frequent.
