2016 dodge durango. The tailgate lights gets water in them every time is rains. The bulbs burn out and you can't replace the bulbs yourself. The only way to fix the issue is paying over a thousand dollars to replace the whole back light.

I have seen where other dodge and ram vehicles are having similar issues where the power steering has completely gone out as mine has. With the electronic steering system every time i turn the wheel you hear a screeching and…
