Water leaked into the rear "race track" light assembly that is on the rear lift door. A section of the lighting no longer works. Not covered under warranty. Believe it has been leaking in slowly over time.

I purchased a 2014 Dodge Durango 6 months ago and have had multiple issues, all issues that I have found to be all to common by searching the issue online. The following issues have occurred with my vehicle along with many other similar customers have experienced: Rear hatch tail light leaking water, ground wire under hood corrodes and brakes off, rear suspension makes wobbling noise when going over bumps, and rear climate control does not heat properly. These issues are very serious and need to be addressed and recalled by the manufacturer before serious injury occurs.

We noticed water pooling in the center tail light assembly on the passenger side about three months ago. Now that portion of the tail light stopped working. After doing some research, this seems to be a common problem with this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. The contact was concerned that there was no oem replacement option for the headlight assembly on her vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer (safford Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat in winchester, va, (540) 667-5532) to have the headlight assemblies repaired. The manufacturer was unable to provide replacement oem light fixtures because the parts were no longer in production. The dealer installed aftermarket headlight assemblies, which failed to attach properly to the vehicle's bumper. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact to work with the dealer. No further assistance was provided. The vehicle was not properly repaired. The failure mileage was not available.

My tail light has a small crack in it causing it to leak in water and go out. This issue is not covered under my warranty however, its a known issue that should be recalled to fix.

Tail light is taking up water and condensation that is mostly pooling along the driver side. Bottom lights in turn have shorted out.

Led racetrack lighting on rear hatch has water in lens and is causing the lighting to malfunction. This poses a visability hazard. The vehicle is garage kept and has never been in an accident. There are no obvious cracks or damage to light lens. This is a dangerous problem and very common as I am finding out.
- Sidman, PA, USA
Condensation was seen forming on inside of lift gate tail light. The next day, water was found pooling inside lift gate tail light assembly. Two days later, the tail light adjacent to the pooled water went out. The vehicle was parked outside and stationary at the time of discovery.
- Cleveland Heights, OH, USA
The rear center "racetrack' lights are taking on large amounts of water. The left lower side of the light panel is now inoperable and leaves a dark spot where it should be illuminated. Prolonged exposure to moisture will continue to burn out lights and eventually make the rear lighting inoperable. The vehicle has no damage to the exterior.

2014 Dodge Durango led rear center hatch tail light. Part #mopar 68155950aj. Plastic light on hatch, cracked open, all the way through tail light, for no apparent reason. Now second crack has begun an inch to the left of first crack, but not all the way through yet. First crack is wide and allows water in when it rains, and when vehicle is washed. Vehicle has never been in an accident, and I am the only owner, as I bought this vehicle new. This is a garaged vehicle. This is a terrible safety concern, as water in tail light, causes led tail light to fail. I reported factory issue with tail light to the local Dodge dealership, where I bought the vehicle. They said it is an issue, but not covered under any warranty, and I would be responsible for all costs. Upon researching online, I found this issue to be widespread with all 2014 and newer Dodge Durango models. This factory default can cause loss of center led tail light, and reduce visibility to other vehicles on the road. Accidents may be the result of this factory defect. It is unknown when these two cracks originally occurred, as they are not fully noticeable upon a quick look or glance. The only reason I found out the tail light assembly was cracked, was I noticed it had an inch of water inside tail light.

2014 Dodge Durango rt water getting in tail lights. Tail lights got about half full of water during 2 days of rain. Vehicle was parked in driveway. Water would slowly drain out when back hatch was opened.
- Rossville, GA, USA
The light is not sealed properly therefore water has gotten into the bottom of my center led light on the tail gate. It has caused both lights on each side to go out. I am worried that this could possibly cause an electrical fire while driving or just in general when the car is on. My back up camera also has some issues at times and I wonder if water getting into the light has anything to do with this.
- West Peoria, IL, USA
Rear lift gate tailight has water in it for the second time in two years. The entire light assembly was replaced in Dec 2016 and here is is just over a year later and the replacement light that was replaced by a certified Dodge dealer and the gasket has failed again.
- Ellington, CT, USA
The light on the rear hatch fills up with moisture and the leds that provide the light source are blowing out.
- Kirtland, OH, USA
My led light bar at rear of truck is taking on water and shorting the light. Clearly a manufacturer defect.
- Pinckney, MI, USA
The tail lights on this car keep going out because they fill up with water. The license plate lights go out often as well due to water filling up. Attached is a picture where you can see the bottom left starting to go out and now the whole light and both license plate lights are out a few days later. The light assembly was replaced a year ago at the Dodge dealership

Rear led raceway taillight fill up with water. Part of the light is dim and cannot be seen
- Wexford, PA, USA
Rear running taillight assembly is not waterproof, this allows water to enter the led running lights. Now the running lights are starting to burn out and are not lit properly. This makes it unsafe the vehicle less visible and unsafe for travels.
