2015 Dodge Durango Exterior Lighting

THE REAR "RACETRACK" TAIL LAMP WHICH SPANS THE LIFTGATE FILLS WITH WATER. THIS IS THE SECOND TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY ON MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS REPLACED BY DODGE UNDER WARRANTY. LESS THAN 1 YEAR LATER, THE REPLACEMENT IS ALSO LEAKING. SEVERAL REPORTS OF WATER IN THE LENS CAUSING ULTIMATE FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONICS AND THE LAMP.

THERE IS WATER GETTING INTO MY REAR 'RACETRACK' TAILLIGHT AREA CAUSING THEM TO SHORT OUT AND BECOMING A DANGER TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. NOTICED IT AROUND JUNE 2018

THE TAILGATE LIGHTING IS TAKING IN WATER, BECAUSE IT HAS FILLED WITH WATER MY LED LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT PORTION OF THE STRIP. WHEN I TOOK MY DURANGO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO FIX 2 RECALLS I ASKED IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM THEY SAW A LOT, THEY SAID THAT IT IS A PROBLEM THAT GETS BROUGHT TO THEM PRETTY OFTEN.

REAR RACETRACK TYPE TAIL LIGHT HAS WATER IN IT AND ONLY WORKS PERIODICALLY

REAR HATCH TAIL LIGHT GOT WATER INSIDE OF IT. RAIN WATER. POOR SEAL. NOW PART OF LIGHT IS NOT WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $1200.00 TO REPLACE. ANOTHER $200.00 LABOR. CAN'T JUST REPLACE A BULB. HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. I AM LEARNING THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH DURANGO'S THAT HAVE THIS LIGHT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE FLAW WITH THESE LIGHT ASSEMBLIES. THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED!

MY RACETRACK TAILLIGHT IN THE BACK OF MY 2015 DODGE DURANGO HAS ACCUMULATED WATER BUILD UP ON BOTH SIDES OF IT AND HAS CAUSED THE LEFT PART OF THE UNIT TO SHORT OUT. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THIS BECAUSE ABOUT HALF THE DURANGOS I SEE ON THE ROAD HAVE THIS AS WELL. IT IS NOTHING MYSELF, OR ANY OTHER OF THE OTHER OWNERS ON THE ROAD HAVE DONE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE. I SUGGEST MAYBE ALLOCATING SOME OF THE CHEROKEE AND WRANGLER REVENUE OVER TO PAY FOR THIS IN ORDER TO KEEP CUSTOMERS SAFE CONSIDERING THE UNIT IS $1200.00. THAT'S A PRETTY HEFTY EXPENSE FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE TO INCUR IF THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO BRING IT UPON THEMSELVES. THIS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I DON'T NEED TO INCLUDE A PICTURE BECAUSE EVERYONE AT CHRYSLER IS FULLY AWARE OF THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM DUE TO HOW MANY PEOPLE SHARE THE SAME CONCERNS. AGAIN, IT'S CRAZY HOW THIS IS NOT COVERED.

THE REAR HATCH LIGHT ASSEMBY HAS A LEAK AND HOLDS WATER. TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS WAS TOLD LED LIGHTS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT A DEFECT IN LED LIGHTS, ITS A DEFECT IN THE ASSEMBLY WHICH IS CAUSING LED LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION, WHICH IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AS IF THE LIGHTS GO OUT DUE TO THE DEFECT I WILL HAVE NO BACK LIGHTS WHICH COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE MY VEHICLE IN TIME TO STOP CAUSING A REAREND COLLISION. THIS IS DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING, WHICH COULD ALSO CAUSE A SHORT IN THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE. IT IS NOT CONDENSATION OR MOISTURE AS EVERYTIME IT RAINS OR ITS WASHED THE ASSEMBLY FILLS WITH WATER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS.

I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A CRACK OR OPENING IN THE RACE TRACK LIGHT OF THE DODGE DURANGO TRUCKS FROM 2015 AND ABOVE. I HAVE A DODGE DURANGO LIKE MY WIFE, MY NEIGHBOR, AND MY MOTHERS NEIGHBOR. ALL OF US HAVE AN OPENING AT THE TOP OF OUR RACETRACK LIGHTS WHERE THE LIGHT IS NOT COMPLETELY SEAL AND THE OPENING IS ENOUGH TO ALLOW WATER TO GET IN AND SETTLE INTO THE LIGHT. THIS IS AN ISSUE AS IT CAN CAUSE A SHORTAGE IN THE RACE TRACK LIGHT. FOR MYSELF IT HAS ALREADY ACCURED WITH MINE OPENING BEING ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE AND MY WIFE BEING ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. THIS IS AN ISSUE AS EVEN MY NEIGHBOR WHO HAS A BRAND NEW DURANGO HAD THIS ISSUE. I'VE ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND HALF AND PURCHASED IT BEYOND THE 36K WARRANTY. THIS IS A ISSUE IN WHICH CAN CAUSE A SHORTAGE OF THE TAIL LIGHTS, WHICH CAUSES THE OWNER TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A DEFECTIVE TAIL LIGHT COMING FROM THE MANUFACTURE. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLIANT AND FORUMS OF OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN A LEADING CAUSE FOR OWNERS TO HAVE TO PAY OVER $1,000 TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER OF DODGE IN WHICH NEITHER OF THEM CAN SPEAK ON THE MATTER TO FIX OR REMEDY THE ISSUE. THIS SHORTAGE CAN BE A FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARD AS OWNERS DRIVING THAT HAVE WATER LEAKING INTO THEIR RACE TRACK LIGHT CAN THEN END UP HAVE THE TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT DUE TO AN ISSUE OF A DEFECTIVE ITEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER IN WHICH THE OWNER HAS NO CONTROL OVER THIS MATTER AND WOULDN'T THINK TO EVEN LOOK AT IT UNTIL SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY WRONG. THE BIG ISSUE IS THAT I'M SHIPPING MY VEHICLE TO GERMANY SOON AND THIS IS AN ISSUE IN WHICH I DON'T WANT MY VEHICLE UNABLE TO BE PROCESSED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE ITEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THE LIFTGATE HAS WATER IN IT AND THE LIGHT HAS GONE OUT

REAR TWILIGHT WHICH WAS REPLACED ONCE (9/17) AS A 'GOODWILL OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY ' REPLACEMENT IS LEAKING AGAIN AND WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. DEALERSHIP AND WARRANTY COMPANY BOTH REFUSING TO REPLACE AGAIN.

WATER POOLS UP IN TAIL LIGHTS EVERY TIME IT RAINS, CAUSES TAIL LIGHT TO APPEAR 'BURNED OUT' LIGHT APPEARS TO GO OUR DUE TO WATER IN TAIL LIGHT. COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OR CRASH.

TAILGATE CENTER RACE TRACK LIGHTING COMPLETELY OUT. WATER GETS IN BOTH SIDES OF THE CENTER LIGHT AND NOW JUST YESTERDAY THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY WENT OUT AND DOES NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL.

IN MARCH OF 2019 A POLICEMAN IN MY HOMETOWN STOPPED ME AND TOLD ME MY TAILLIGHT ON MY 2015 DODGE DURANGO WAS OUT. ON FURTHER EXAMINATION THE POLICEMAN AND I DISCOVERED THAT PART OF MY TAIL LIGHT WAS NOT LIT UP AND THAT MY TAIL LIGHT HAS WATER IN IT. WE CAN SEE THE MOISTURE AND THE WATER LINE. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I BOUGHT VEHICLE. THEY EXAMINED MY VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A BAD DESIGN AND THAT WATER WAS INDEED IN MY TAILLIGHT. THEY FURTHER TOLD ME THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT VEHICLE WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS WATER INTRUSION. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $1,300.00 APPROX. TO REPLACE TAILLIGHT. IVE BEEN RESEARCHING FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS AND FOUND A FORUM THAT HAD 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ON 2015 DODGE DURANGOS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT I HAVE. ONE COMPLAINT EVEN STATED THAT WHILE SHE DROVE HER CAR SHE COULD SMELL BURNING . I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD INDEED START A FIRE. I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME 75% OF THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THAT IN ITSELF IS VERY DISTRESSING FOR ME.

WATER IS FILLING UP IN THE BOTTOM OF THE RACE TRACK LIGHTS IN THE REAR. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE CASING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING.

CENTER REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS SHORT ON RIGHT SIDE. SEVERAL LED BULBS NO LONGER LIGHT UP AFFECTING VEHICLE VISIBILITY. THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE LENS.

RAIN WATER GETTING INTO TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY CAUSING WATER TO POOL INSIDE LIGHT AND CAUSE LEDS TO SHORT AND NO LONGER ILLUMINATE. AND THE COST TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY IS OVER $1000.

RACE TRACK TAILLIGHT ON REAR DECKLID HAS WATER POOLING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF LIGHT!

39,000 MILES. LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL WITH CORROSION ON BULB CAUSING IT NOT TO FUNCTION. MULTIPLE LED BULBS BURNED OUT AND REPLACED. NOW REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY LEDS BURNING OUT. ALL VERY EARLY IN LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

CENTER REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY COLLECTS WATER AND SHORTS OUT. BULBS NO LONGER LIGHT UP AFFECTING VEHICLE VISIBILITY. THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE LENSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INSIDE THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY, WHICH CAUSED THE TAIL LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

THE CENTER LED LIGHT ON MY DURANGO SOMEHOW HAS WATER IN IT; THE WATER ORIGINALLY CAUSED A SHORT ON ONE SIDE THAT DIMMED THE LIGHT. I FIRST NOTICED DECEMBER 2018 WHEN A MOTORIST STOPPED ME AFTER TAKING A PICTURE. AS OF JANUARY 21, 2019 THE LIGHT HAS COMPLETELY WENT OUT DUE TO THE WATER DAMAGE. THIS HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS I AM NOT SURE WHERE THE WATER IS ENTERING IN. ON THE 21ST I WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE HE SAID THE FLICKING COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I WAS LEFT OFF WITH A WARNING. PER WESTGATE DODGE HERE IN INDY THE FIX WILL COST MORE THAN $1300 TO CORRECT. I HAVE PROVIDED

"TAKATA RECALL" I PURCHASED A 2015 DODGE DURANGO ON DECEMBER 3 2015 HOWEVER I NOTICE THAT ITS WATER CONDENSE IN THE RACETRACK LIGHT AND ITS A COUPLE OF SPOTS WHERE ITS BLOWED OUT THATS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS IMMEDIATELY ATTENTION..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DURANGO. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REED CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3100 S US-169, ST JOSEPH, MO 64503, (816) 233-9149) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS MOISTURE IN THE TAIL LIGHTS; HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIND A FRACTURE IN THE TAIL LIGHT FIXTURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

WATER IN THE RACETRACK TAILLIGHT CAUSED BURNT OUT LED LIGHTS
