Rear 'racetrack' led lighting full of water from condensation. Lighting is shorting out and I am concerned about price to fix. Also it may be a danger to other drivers at night. 27,000 miles and already getting worse.
- Williamson, NY, USA
The rear tail light assembly, middle portion, has collected water inside of it which comes in contact with the tail light led's inside causing them to short to ground. They blink/flash erratically but most of the time are not on. Also the license plate lights are affected by this and are not working either. Even after loosening the assembly and draining the water condensation can still be seen inside.

Water is getting into the rear tail lights through the factory seam. There are no visible cracks on the tail light and water is pooling up on the inside and slowly leaking out of the factory seals around the housing. Water is causing the lights to short out.

While driving my radio display screen went off 3 different times and finally restarted. On another day the air conditioning would come on by itself. First it was the rear air would come on high, I would turn it off and it would come right back on. So I turn the air off completely front N rear, well it came back on by itself both of them. So I just locked the rear air and left the front air on. I was driving down the highway while this was happening

While using the vehicle on marksheffel rd we noticed that the horn was not working. That was our first sign for concern. Shortly afterwards while at a stop light we noticed that the steering wheel controls were not working either. Lastly we noticed that there are multiple indicators on the dashboard that are displayed indicating a failure somewhere. One of the indicators relates to an airbag.the vehicle is only a few years old. According to many forums and reports online this is a recurring Dodge issue that they fail to fix year after year. They have had recalls for this issue on other vehicles and years but not this 2015 Durango and they will not cover it under any warranty. They should have had this issue resolved by now considering it has been going on since at least 1997. We drive our kids in this vehicle and feel that it is cause for concern but feel we should not have to pay for their mistakes.

I have taken great measures to ensure the safety of my family and other drivers related to an ongoing issue of service shifter. I have taken my vehicle under extended warranty 3 times for the same problem and suspect autonation has been unable to identify issue nor troubleshoot. My vehicle unexplainable is not accelerating and down shifting properly. The last time I used a rental car only part was covered and we had a seatbelt scare because it wasnt securing my child. I desperately seeking resolution and have parked my vehicle for now until I can turn it over to the correct mechanic. Are you able to read error codes" where do I take my vehicle? I feel unsafe as the vehicle is unpredictable. For the fourth time, we almost experienced an accident leaving my parents enroute home. Warranty and autonation are closed. If someone could give me the correct procedure or steps I need to take. Incidents surrounding the service shifter has gone from inconvienant to traumatizing. This is a family vehicle and used to Transport children. If someone could please advise. Where should I take my vehicle? how can I be assured problem fixed and vehicle safe to drive? this vehicle acceralates, shifts to neutral, jumps and doesnt properly down shift when prompted. I've taken it in for service 3 times within months and even weeks apart. What do I do next"

The center tail light in the Dodge Durango's with the racetrack set up have a leaking problem where water enters through posing a risk to the electrical system and inside of the vehicle. This basically happens whether the vehicle is in motion or parked. When it rains - water enters through the defectively sealed tail light.
