When it rains water is collecting in the back tailgate light. There needs to be a recall to fix this problem. Apparently, I am not the only one having this problem.

Water leaks into the racetrack lighting and pools causing burnout of led lighting. This results in reducing visibility of the vehicle due lack of lighting at night. This is a common issue with multiple Dodge Durango's.

This winter we had a lot of snow. As the snow melted, water got into the tailgate light assembly. Now the bottom of the light were water has settled is out. I've noticed a lot of other Durango's. 2016 and up with the same issue. Either on one side or both like mines. When I raise the tailgate water drains out but not completely. There are no visible cracks in the tailgate backup light or damage in anyway. I was curious to see if anyone else has reported this issue. As I said I noticed a lot of vehicles on the road like mines, with this problem the light has not gone out but may cause an electrical short creating another problem or fail while driving resulting in a unwanted ticket. Vehicle was stationary at the time. And when I drove off my husband saw the told me. Any info on what caused this would be helpful. As I am not sure if the seals failed to keep the water or moisture out.

I noticed water made its way into led taillight housing after opening lift gate. Water was visibly draining. Vehicle was stationary. After draining water by removing bolt, the led has a roughly 6 inch dark spot where the water was resting. Its a widespread issue with 2014+ Dodge Durangos and replacemebt parts are $1,100. A recall should be issued for this issue.

Bought my Durango used on 09/27/2018 with 44,500 miles and about 20 days later noticed water in my tail light. I called the dealer and they said there is no recall on this item and I would have to pay for a new one even though water is getting into my tail light this does not sound right now 10 months later and my racetrack led light panel stopped working this item needs recalled and Dodge should be replacing them at no charge because it's not normal for it to happen

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.

Water pooling inside the racetrack tail lights.

Takata recall the problem with my Durango is the same problem that hundreds of other Durango owners are having, its the race track light and the poor manufacturing of them. Water shouldn't be able to get in to them causing them to burn out. Those light are a main part of the running lights in the day and night. Here in Canada it is illegal to not have them on at night. There would be no problems if these bulbs were accessible to change, but their not which makes them a manufactured defect. The dealer should be responsible to replace or repair the issues at their own cost, not telling customers sorry lights aren't covered under warranty

This Dodge Durango is a garage kept vehicle that has had water leak into what should be a sealed tail light bar. The water has destroyed the bulbs and makes that side of the rear of the vehicle less visible. This vehicle has never been damaged in a collision or backed into anything. There is no recall on this defective part even tough I have seen several examples of this defect on varying years of these Durangos.

The taillight and brake light unit at the rear of the vehicle fills up with water from rain or snow melt and causes the taillight/brake light to malfunction and also stop working all together. This happens whether the vehicle is sitting idle or in motion.

Passenger side headlight assembly/right turn signal and day time running light (strip) both "blink" when right turn signal is used. Issue linked to water/moisture found in a compartment under the hood and was addressed by the servicing dealership February 2018 by disconnecting, cleaning, and reassembling the mentioned compartment and its associated electrical connections. As of February 2019, the mentioned "dual blinking" returned.

The rear taillight or as it's called the rear racetrack light fills with water in the lower right and left corners when it's raining. This has caused some electrical issues and now some of the led have shorted. Visibility of my rear lights has decreased because of the moisture inside the taillight. Above issue can be verified via the following links- https://www.dodgedurango.net/forums/Durango-discussions-2014/42937-poll-water-tail-light-2014-a.html https://www.carcomplaints.com/Dodge/Durango/2015/lights/exterior_lighting.shtml

The rear taillight or as it's called the rear 'racetrack' light fills with water when it's raining. This has caused some electric issues and now some of the led have shorted. Visibility of my rear lights has decreased because of the moisture inside the taillight, and it's only matter of time before all of the remaining led bulbs are shorted out as well.
