Water has entered the racetrack lighting component and has caused two sections to burn out. There has not been any compromise of the system as far as a cracks, breaks, or damage.

I have water in my tail gate lights

The tail light has retained water due to product defect causing the tail light to burn out which is a safety hazard.

- Peebles, OH, USA

When we first brought the vehicle home from the dealership we noticed that there was water pooling inside the rear racetrack lighting in the bottom left corner. After a day or two the racetrack lighting went out due to the water. Luckily the dealership was willing to replace it for us and did. We've had the new one in for about 6 months and just recently noticed that there is water pooling in the bottom right corner of the lighting now. The light is starting to flicker and I'm assuming it will soon go out.

The tailight is not water tight and water leaks in and pools on the bottom. This water shorts out the tailight and causes it to not light up at all. This short circuiting can also cause multiple other issues for things unrelated to the tailight, causing other systems to short.

Rear racetrack tail light fills with water. Looks like Dodge overtightened the bolts causing the plastic to crack which leads to the main tail light to fill with water and short out. This causes the tail lights to not function making it a huge safety concern. Of course happens when vehicle is just out of warranty and Dodge won't do a thing about it, it according to them is a me problem. I have seen other vehicles with the same problem. This racetrack design tail light system is a terrible design and a dangerous one.

The hatchback tail light went out because water gets inside and doesn't drain. The whole back brake light has condensation. The bottom left part of light went out (shorted), but in time the whole brake light assembly will go out. This will be a safety hazzard and Dodge will be responsible if it is not fixed by recall.

The backup light assembly is this vehicle fills with water during rain or car washes, speed is irelevant. The water shorts out the led lights, causing them to fail. The assembly is supposed to be water tight, therefor there is no way for the water it collects to drain. Therefore, the metal components of this assembly are also beginning to rust due to the persistent presence of water. Replacing this failed assembly costs $1,300. This component should continue to be water tight on well maintained vehicles, such as mine. This failure feels like a flaw in the design of the original part. Dodge should replace these failed assemblies at a much more reasonable price, or free of charge, due to the fact that the component is designed to last the life of the vehicle, and certainly isn't for me and many others.

The 2014 Durango backup lamp assembly collects water and shorts out the lights that are located inside the assembly. Currently mine is flickering and flashing and causing a distraction to other drivers. The manufacturer says it is only covered under a bumper to bumper warranty and the cost ranges anywhere from $800-$1000 without installation. The seal around the light is defective and allows water in enter the assembly causing the lights to burn out. In some cases like mine the light will flicker and flash to cause distractions to other drivers. This occurs when the vehicle is in park or in motion. Please help us.

I have water pooling in the rear tail light track whenever it rains. This reduces light visibility, and I'm assuming will eventually short out the electrics in the lights.

- Creedmoor, NC, USA

I purchased this vehicle in May 2018 and have since noticed water in the rear racetrack light that Dodge refuses to fix. This has happened on many vehicles with this light causing the lights to malfunction and a repair bill of $1200.

Water has entered and pooled the rear "race track" led lights resulting in some of the lights not working. This defect results in lose of visibility to following motorists and potential for fire. Dealer states car is out of warranty and not covered, estimated cost of repair is $1,200!!! I read there are numerous complaints filed about this.

- Paris, KY, USA

The rear tail lights assembly on the tail gate fills up with water causing the lights to burn out. This is a safety issue as the lights fail to operate and could cause a fire hazard with lights submerged in water. The sealant used around assembly has failed so badly that water gathers in the tailgate and pours out as tailgate is lifted which will cause premature rust and failure of tailgate

I have water collection in the bottom of the racetrack tail lights.

- Berkley, MI, USA

While vehicle was parked, I noticed the "racetrack" style led tail lights, specifically the large section across the trunk, on my Dodge Durango were no longer working. I did an online search and multiple incidents regarding this same issue popped up. It appears a faulty seal around the tail light allows for water to enter the inside of the light causing it to burn out. The only fix for this is to replace the entire led unit at a cost of over $1000 which the vehicle owner must pay for. The replacement of the led light does not fix the leaking issue allowing for the light to burn out again.
