problem #129

Aug 012019

Durango

  • 30,000 miles
Rear taillight/backup light assembly allowed water penetration and subsequently shorted out some of the led bulbs inside the assembly. Rear lighting at night is impaired and makes vehicle less likely to be seen at a distance at night. Assembly includes the backup camera and is only replaceable as the entire lighting/camera unit. Dealer has indicated that the unit is not repairable and it is not being replaced by fica. Continued water penetration could also short out the backup camera and making it in violation of federal law.

Water in the tail lights. Every time I get the car washed or it rains I have to drain the taillight. I'm so afraid that the water will short out the electrical system or burn out the taillights, then I would have to pay $600 for a new one.

2015 Durango rt/AWD - water pools in the center tail lamp led and shorts it out, making not only the "race track" portion of the led lighting fail, but the tag lighting also, ticket issued from highway patrol. Replacement module is $700+ this is a well know and common occurrence

problem #124

Jan 292020

Durango

  • 37,000 miles
The rear deck lid tail lights fill with water eventually shorting out the lights and impacting the ability for other drivers to see the vehicle from the rear. Over time this may lead to other electrical problems as it is never good to have water accumulating in the tail lights. The backup camera is also shared in this component. This appears to be a known issue that fca Dodge appears to be ignoring. The only solution offered is to replace the component with another which includes the backup camera for $1000.

- Parlin, NJ, USA

problem #123

Jan 282020

Durango

  • 39,000 miles
Exterior tail lights and bar collect water which burns out the leds. No way to replace individual led need to replace the bar which is over $1000. Is a night time hazard since the lights are burnt out and progressively getting worse. Started as small black spot in bottom corner and is now spreading. Spoke to Dodge and it's not covered! started when car had less then 40K miles on it.

- Aurora, IL, USA
