I noticed water getting into the middle led race track lighting. The middle led light is already out because of this. I believe the housing is a factory defect, my truck only has 40,000 and this is already happening. Extended warrenty wont cover this because of "condensation."

Tail light has water in them. Weather causes water to freeze and damage lights. Makes it hard to see when braking at night.

I did my own investigation and i found out that almost every dodge durango 2017 has a problem on the left front turn light switch. It is an electrical problem, it doesn't matter if you change the bulb several times

Front driver side turn signal intermittently stopped working a couple months ago. It eventually stayed out. Thinking the bulb was bad, both front turn signal bulbs were replaced with leds. A few days ago, the issue resurfaced and continues to intermittently work. This happens randomly while moving or stationary. I have seen others post of this same issue and i feel it is a safety issue and should be recalled for…

The rear race track light has had water in it for months and has now shorted out part of the light. When i bought the vehicle used they said that was normal and will drain on it's own. Now that the warrenty is up they will not cover it.

The turn signal stopped working for a few days; then it started back working for about a week. The first time it happened i was stationary at a light waiting to turn. Then it stopped working again, so i took my vehicle in to get it fixed. The front part of my air conditioning stopped working on numerous occasions. It stops, then i drive and happen to hit uneven road and it would jump back on. At the moment it is not…

On my 2017 dodge durango rt at 37,000 miles i noticed when raining water enters the center racing lights (specifically on the right side) and pools inside shorting the lights so they don't work anymore. Condensation collects in several areas because of the pooling water.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 dodge durango. While driving various speeds, the liftgate lights flickered. There were no warning indicators illuminated. Durocher auto sales (4651 u.s. 9, plattsburgh, ny 12901, [redacted]) diagnosed that the liftgate lights needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.

My vehicle has below 11,000 miles and has water pooled in the backup lamp assembly (racetrack light) in the rear of the vehicle. This is causing the led's to flicker and short out at random. This assembly is also the center brake light for the vehicle. Without being corrected this issue will lead to the entire assembly to fail.

Water collects in the rear tail light assembly (the one across the tailgate with the back-up camera). So bad, some lamps have blown out on the lower right of the assembly. It only drains out when removing a.bolt on each side, but within a few weeks, the water returns.

I noticed that the front left turn signal quit working. I assumed it was a burnt-out bulb. In searching on the internet for a "how-to" for replacing this bulb (it's in pretty cramped quarters), i found that it was common for the turn signals to work intermittently for this vehicle and several model years before and after it. Further, there was a diagnosis of burnt contacts that were the culprit. In removing the…
