Tl* the contact owns a 2015 dodge durango. The contact stated that water leaked through a hole into the tail lights on both the driver and passenger sides. As a result, the lights short out. The dealer liccardi chrysler dodge ram (130 us-22, green brook township, nj 08812 [redacted]) stated that since the 33,000 mile warranty had expired there was nothing they could do to cover the repairs.

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.

Driving at night, car passes me and aggressively honked/pointed behind me. Pulled over and noticed my rear lights were completely out. Messed with the light switch to see if it made a difference, it did not. Next day i see water pooled on both sides of the tailgate lighting assembly. Did research and learned to remove bolts to drain water from the assembly. Some functionality returned but right lower side remains…

Rear taillight/backup light assembly allowed water penetration and subsequently shorted out some of the led bulbs inside the assembly. Rear lighting at night is impaired and makes vehicle less likely to be seen at a distance at night. Assembly includes the backup camera and is only replaceable as the entire lighting/camera unit. Dealer has indicated that the unit is not repairable and it is not being replaced by…

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…
