2017 Dodge Durango Exterior Lighting

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, (518) 563-3587) 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.

WATER COLLECTING IN LIFT GATE RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT.

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.

DURING RAIN OR WASHING, WATER COLLECTS IN THE REAR BACKUP LIGHT ASSEMBLY CAUSING CONDENSATION INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY.

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW HAS A LITTLE OVER 10,000 MILES ON IT NOW, STARTED NOTICING STANDING WATER IN THE RACETRACK (BACK GATE) LED LIGHTS TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHY WATER WAS GETTING IN THEY INFORMED ME THE BRAKE LIGHT HAD A CRACK WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A SEAM (WHERE THE 2 PARTS MET) IT IS A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN, VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT OR DAMAGED, SO THE BRAKE LIGHT CRACKED IN ITS OWN. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THIS IS VERY COMMON AND DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN BE SAFE SINCE WATER IS GETTING INTO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL AND CAUSING LED BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL OR BURN OUT.

I RENTED 2017 DODGE DURANGO GT I HAVE THE TAILGATE OPEN AND THEN GRABBED BOTTLE CASE OF WATER I WAKE CLOSER TO THE TAILLIGHTS I CUT WITH THAT ,TAILLIGHTS HAVE PIECE OF THE TAILLIGHTS POINTING OUT IS DANGEROUS FILL LIKE A BLADE IF A CHILD GET CLOSER SOMETHING BAD GET I HAVE PIC FROM MY INJURY AND THE PLACE ON THE TAILLIGHTS
