The liftgate tail light assembly allows water to seep inside, pooling in the lighting assembly. This led to the rear lights shorting out and failing completely. After researching, this is a common problem that dodge continues to ignore; only offering to install a new assembly for the bargain price of $1200-1600 so that i will be visible from the rear to other drivers on the roadway.

The led back tail lights are not properly sealed, so water can leak into them and short out the lights, and cause electrical shortage.have tried to work with the dealership, and the chrysler corp., but since the vehicle is a 2015 model it is out of warranty. I feel this was a bad seal right out of the factory.

The "racetrack" taillight system has a systemic issue with water infiltrating the enclosed sealed led taillight system. This caused portions of the taillights to burn out and cause lower visibility than intended. Warranty companies consider this a "serviceable" part like normal bulbs, brakes, tires, etc. The problem is that this "serviceable" part is an all enclosed unit and not a simple bulb replacement. You have…

For a few months now, the bottom right hand section of the led 'racetrack' tail lights on the trunk of my durango has been burned out. Apparently, this is coming from water filling up in the leds due to weather stripping to keep water out failing too early. This normally wouldn't be a huge concern since tail lights can be replaced, however chrysler/dodge/fiat has made it entirely too expensive for anyone in their…

The rear tail light assembly, middle portion, has collected water inside of it which comes in contact with the tail light led's inside causing them to short to ground. They blink/flash erratically but most of the time are not on. Also the license plate lights are affected by this and are not working either. Even after loosening the assembly and draining the water condensation can still be seen inside.
