The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the spoiler detached from the vehicle without warning. The contact stated that no cars were damaged and no one was injured due to the failure. The dealer and the manufacturer were both notified of the failure and both informed her that the failure was not covered under recall or warranty. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the electrical tape was placed over the loose wiring that resulted from the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

The power liftgate strut broke off at the mounting stud causing the liftgate to slam down uncontrolled. This could easily cause injury especially to a child.

Seatbelt for driver no longer retracts or locks when brake is applied. Doesn't retract back when vehicle is off and seatbelt is removed just flops. Back lift gate opens and then closes and suspends halfway will hit your head if you're standing under it. Interior overhead lights do not turn off while vehicle is in motion and running. Don't turn off for about 5-10 minutes after vehicle turned off and is locked.

Rear taillight collects water in the housing when it rains, snow or wash. Due to this defect know my rear tail light is burned out. This occurs when I'm stationary or moving. I read a lot of forums and it seems like a common problem with Dodge.

The rear tail light has been filling with water and have no idea where it's coming in at because tail light still looks as new as it did before. Now the led part of the light has completely gone out and the whole light isn't illuminated

The entire brake light (panels) had water leak in them causing water to back up in plastic cover shorting out the break lights and causing condensation on the rest of the brake panels. This happens when it rains or car is getting washed or any time water touches back brake lights.

Racetrack tail lights burnt out from normal use because the part suffered a common manufacturing defect. This part is flawed and needs to be redesigned and issued a recall to all racetrack owners.

2014 Dodge Durango tail light assembly not properly sealed when manufactured and allows water to enter and ruin circuit board for led tail lights. I have electrical engineering degree and this is not a bulb burned out. The leds circuit board is what's damaged not the leds. Dealers say warranty does not cover bulbs. But this is a whole tail light assembly that was not sealed right from the factory. It cost $1100 to replace. This is a defect not normal wear and tear. There are literally thousands of people online with same issue.

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.

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.

Track lighting on the rear door is not sealed and water gets into the light housing and the rear camera as well as the license plate lights. Some of the lights in the track are out and I have to keep replacing the license plate lights. Water is just sitting on the lights so they burn out. I'm afraid this might start a electrical fire in the rear door or my rear lights will just stop working.

On May 31, 2018 while driving down the interstate in the rain, my front left molding wheel flare flew off of my 2014 Dodge Durango. There were no hazards in the roadway and I did not hit anything that would have caused it to fly off. There had also been no previous signs that it was lose or about to come off, it just simply flew off while I was driving. Inspection of the vehicle afterwards also did not indicate any damage to the wheel hub area that would have caused the wheel flare to detach.
