problem #147

May 012019

Durango

  • 100,000 miles
Water leaked in and accumulated inside the rear "racetrack" led taillight assembly, causing failure to led lights on the driver side of the assembly. The design of this assembly is clearly flawed due to thousands of reports of this happening. Dodge quoted my $1100 for the replacement part. Absolutely ridiculous.

The tail running light is out, after looking at the affected area, this is due to water being inside the lighting area. We have seen other complaints about this in other Durango's. Dodge wants to charge us to replace this. This seems to be a defect and we are not willing to pay for such a repair. Water inside a running light is clearly not the consumers fault.

Add mine to the many complaints about water getting into the tail lights that are in the hatch. Also known as race track tail light. There is a bug inside as well so the gap in this "sealed" unit must be huge. You can see the mosquito in img_6163.jpg. Also have trouble with water getting in the drivers side headlight about a year ago. I purchased this vehicle new and it has never been in an accident. This is an obvious safety issue when the water starts clouding the lens and/or starts shorting out the bulbs. These issues are not covered by the lifetime maxcare warranty. I tried uploading 4 photos. Hopefeully you got them all

problem #140

Durango

  • 30,000 miles
The rear racetrack lights keep taking on water! if I recall water and electricity don't mix! this was one of the selling features that caught my eye to buy this vehicle. But apparently this is a big problem with these lights and an expensive fix if it burns out. The tail light is fused with the plate light. So if the fuse blows you have no plate light which in my state is illegal. If the lights are out, there really isn't much illumination in the rear. I could easily get rear ended at night or cloudy out.

Water has pooled up in the lower right led housing and shorted out the lights in that particular area. At one point the whole led strip went out on the lift gate. I didn't know it happened until I smelt a strong electrical fire smoke scent and started looking around to find the source. Water continues to pool on both sides of the led racetrack taillights.

Water getting into the rear hatch light [bar] on lift gate, causing the L.E.D. light to burn out. Seems to be not sealed properly from factory. Whether it is sitting, or mobile, the water still gets into the assembly.

Rear lighting will accumulate moisture inside housing eventually burning out led elements. This results in drivers being unable to see vehicle from the rear as well as citations for nonfunctioning equipment.
