Rear taillight was not sealed properly at factory and water got inside. Water water collected inside and burnt out the right lower taillight. I have seen 100's of other Dodge Durangos with the same problem. Dodge needs to make this right for customers and recall and correct the problem. This problem is occuring when in a car wash as well as in rainy, wet weather.
The rear center lift gate racetrack light (lower right passenger side) is dim and flickers on and off like if I were applying the brakes. This is both when in motion and stationary. I believe water or moisture accumulates in that area. I believe it's a safety hazard and could cause an electrical taillight failure causing an accident. My vehicle is only 5 yrs old and shouldn't be having this problem. I see a lot of 2015 models with that exact same problem and feel that Dodge has a responsibility to its costumers in fixing this. Thank you.
Rear tail light (racetrack light) portion burned out. It was improperly sealed and allowed water runoff to collect inside bottom part. This causes the racetrack light to burnout. This is a hazard that if not fixed and tail lights go out while driving, could cause an accident and seriously injure people.
Water leaks into rear light on the tailgate on a regular basis. Whether the car is parked when it's raining outside or I'm driving in the rain, water gets into the light and now the passenger side portion of the light no longer works. As more water gets in over time I fear more of the lights will go out which could potentially cause an accident or electrical issues inside the tailgate. I have read that this is a very common issue with Dodge Durango's from 2014+ thru the present. Some owners have shared that as this issue worsens the lights flicker which could make other drivers think you are braking which again could cause a motor accident and even loss of life. Dodge has not addressed this issue and charges approximately $1,000 to fix when a better gasket and sealant around the light housing could fix the issue for a fraction of the price.

Rear tail light (racetrack light) was improperly sealed and allows water runoff to collect inside bottom part of racetrack lighting. This causes the racetrack light to burnout and eventually stop working entirely. This is a hazard that if not fixed and tail lights go out while driving, could cause an accident and seriously injure people. This is the most common and worst issue with newer Durango's and because of poor design unknown to purchaser, should not come out of pocket. Most dealerships are charging anywheres from $1000-$1300 to fix. A google search will show this issue with nearly every Durango with 'racetrack' lighting and should be fixed before it causes accidents if it hasn't already. Please help us!

I have already went through 3 rear tracklights on this vehicle (it is the large taillap on the back of the car) the most recent photo shows a lot of water in it.
When it rains a significant amount of water pools in the racetrack style tailight of the vehicle. It subsequently burns out the light in the area where the water pools.
