Exterior tail light's interior gets flooded with water every time it rains. There is nothing abnormal about my vehicle, this is the second Dodge Durango I have owned (2015+) with the same exact issue.

Taillights fill with moisture causing bulbs to burnout & create hazard when braking. Seals to keep moisture out need to be replaced or updated

- Tigard, OR, USA

My rear led light bar is out. I looked and there is water inside of the light bar. There are gaps all around the light bar which is how the water is getting in. Warranty is trying to deny coverage. This has to be a manufacturing issue. There is a lot of proper with the same issue that I am having.

Seal on the center tail light 'racetrack lighting' is ineffective. The light fills up with water, does not drain, and stops functioning. Dealer is aware of it being a common problem, but is still charging over $1,200 to repair.

Rear tail panel of led strips is out at all times, causing a safety concern. Started with lower right side of ribbon light out, now the entire strip is out, including the required tag lights. Started when I only had about 60K miles on it. Contacted Dodge dealership and they state they're aware of the problem but it will cost at least 1K just for the part, not including labor.

First my driver side headlight went out. Replaced the bulb an it still does not work. It not the fuse or connector either. Then my passager side taillight an my lift gate light do not work. Bought new taillight an plugged it in an still not working. It's not the fuse or connector so I don't know what else to do.

Driving at night, car passes me and aggressively honked/pointed behind me. Pulled over and noticed my rear lights were completely out. Messed with the light switch to see if it made a difference, it did not. Next day I see water pooled on both sides of the tailgate lighting assembly. Did research and learned to remove bolts to drain water from the assembly. Some functionality returned but right lower side remains out.

Water gets into the rear liftgate lighting (then'racetrack' light which causes the led to fail. Over time the problem will spread causing visibility to suffer. Once water is in there and leds fail the only option is replacement of the entire assembly.

Rear lift gate tail light. Water enters the lighting assembly which causes the led light to stop working.

I have noticed that the taillights have leaked and now the build/led is staring to go out. This seems to be a widespread problem, others have mentioned removing bolts to let moisture escape. Only problem is now the light has been damaged, and I don't understand why the manufacturer would think unscrewing the light housing would be acceptable to fix a mistake on their end! I get they are in the business of selling vehicles, but show some integrity and make it right with your customers. This started to happen at about 70K miles, which I get is outside of the 'very short' bumper to bumper warranty, but maybe try to work with the vehicle owner to try and keep them as a customer. This should be part of a recall, because the lamp could potentially burn out due to a defect on the manufacturers part. There is no light bulb to replace, it is an entire light housing that is very expensive to replace. The light could malfunction and cause an accident, possibly harming people.

The tailgate light on the lift gate collects water when it rains or is being washed. I need to lift the gate to let the excess water drips out. The light is discolored in the lower left and lower right side.

Problem with front turn signal message not working, changed bulbs but still getting the message this is an issue not knowing if turn signals are working

- Sanford, CO, USA

Backup lamp assembly part number 68155950aj has water inside if it. Dodge claims its a "light" and will not fix the issue. Its a $700 light. Many different web sites have the same frustrated customers complaining about the same issue.seal goes bad and water gets in, lots of water.

- Woodridge, IL, USA

Water is collecting inside of the tail-gate lights assembly causing it's complete failure - no lights mounted on the tailgate are working.

For a few months now, the bottom right hand section of the led 'racetrack' tail lights on the trunk of my Durango has been burned out. Apparently, this is coming from water filling up in the leds due to weather stripping to keep water out failing too early. This normally wouldn't be a huge concern since tail lights can be replaced, however Chrysler/Dodge/Fiat has made it entirely too expensive for anyone in their right mind to even try to afford a replacement. The leds cannot be easily replaced, therefore you have to replace the entire tail light/brake light portion on the trunk. On top of that, this part must come with the back up camera, you can't buy the part without the back up camera. The cost for this is 1,085 usd which is absolutely absurd, and that does not include the cost of labor as well. The brake lights of any vehicle are a huge safety function of the vehicle, both during the day in dark foggy/rainy conditions as well as anytime at night. Chrysler/Dodge/Fiat must either make this incredibly cheap to replace, or put in a recall to be replaced at the companies expense. This could cause property damage that the vehicles insurance company must pay for, or even death to any person or animal riding in the vehicle if involved in an accident. Lucky, my entire 'racetrack' led tail light system has not completely failed, yet. Keyword: Yet. It's inevitable, it will happen the more water that gets into the led section of the light.

The tailgate lighting is taking in water, because it has filled with water my led lights have gone out on the bottom right portion of the strip. When I took my Durango to the dealership for them to fix 2 recalls I asked if this was a problem they saw a lot, they said that it is a problem that gets brought to them pretty often.

Rear racetrack type tail light has water in it and only works periodically

- Hudson, ME, USA

My racetrack taillight in the back of my 2015 Dodge Durango has accumulated water build up on both sides of it and has caused the left part of the unit to short out. It is absolutely absurd that Chrysler will not cover this because about half the Durangos I see on the road have this as well. It is nothing myself, or any other of the other owners on the road have done to make this happen, it is a design flaw in the vehicle. I suggest maybe allocating some of the Cherokee and Wrangler revenue over to pay for this in order to keep customers safe considering the unit is $1200. That's a pretty hefty expense for someone to have to incur if they didn't do anything to bring it upon themselves. This happened to the vehicle shortly after I bought it. I don't need to include a picture because everyone at Chrysler is fully aware of the description of the problem due to how many people share the same concerns. Again, it's crazy how this is not covered.

The rear hatch light assemby has a leak and holds water. Took to dealer for repairs was told led lights not covered under warranty. This is not a defect in led lights, its a defect in the assembly which is causing led lights to malfunction, which is a danger to myself and others as if the lights go out due to the defect I will have no back lights which could cause a vehicle behind me to not be able to see my vehicle in time to stop causing a rearend collision. This is defective manufacturing, which could also cause a short in the vehicle which could cause a fire. It is not condensation or moisture as everytime it rains or its washed the assembly fills with water. This is very dangerous to myself as well as others.

I noticed that there is a crack or opening in the race track light of the Dodge Durango trucks from 2015 and above. I have a Dodge Durango like my wife, my neighbor, and my mothers neighbor. All of us have an opening at the top of our racetrack lights where the light is not completely seal and the opening is enough to allow water to get in and settle into the light. This is an issue as it can cause a shortage in the race track light. For myself it has already accured with mine opening being on the rear passenger side and my wife being on the rear driver side. This is an issue as even my neighbor who has a brand new Durango had this issue. I've only had my vehicle for a year and half and purchased it beyond the 36K warranty. This is a issue in which can cause a shortage of the tail lights, which causes the owner to be responsible for a defective tail light coming from the manufacture. I've seen many compliant and forums of owners dealing with this issue and it has been a leading cause for owners to have to pay over $1,000 to get this issue fixed. I spoke with the dealer and the manufacturer of Dodge in which neither of them can speak on the matter to fix or remedy the issue. This shortage can be a fire and safety hazard as owners driving that have water leaking into their race track light can then end up have the tail lights go out due to an issue of a defective item from the manufacturer in which the owner has no control over this matter and wouldn't think to even look at it until something is actually wrong. The big issue is that I'm shipping my vehicle to germany soon and this is an issue in which I don't want my vehicle unable to be processed due to a defective item from the manufacturer.
