2015 Durango SXT - water pools in the center tail lamp led and shorts it out, making it fail. Replacement is $700+ due to demand. This is a well know and common occurrence

- Pennsburg, PA, USA

The liftgate tail light assembly allows water to seep inside, pooling in the lighting assembly. This led to the rear lights shorting out and failing completely. After researching, this is a common problem that Dodge continues to ignore; only offering to install a new assembly for the bargain price of $1200-1600 so that I will be visible from the rear to other drivers on the roadway.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that water leaked through a hole into the tail lights on both the driver and passenger sides. As a result, the lights short out. The dealer liccardi Chrysler Dodge Ram (130 us-22, green brook township, NJ 08812 (732) 752-7373) stated that since the 33,000 mile warranty had expired there was nothing they could do to cover the repairs. The whole track light unit would have to be replaced at a cost $2,500. The manufacturer provided the contact a complaint number and offered no further assistance. The failure mileage was 77,000.

Water accumulation in tail gait light causing the led light to go off. There was no damage to the light.

- Southington, CT, USA

The tailgate light gets filled up with water creating a short and burning our led lights in the tail light. This is a known issue and the dealership charges over $1000 for the light and the time spend replacing it. Fcu should pay for the faulty design and replace all the tailgate lights for free.

Rear tail gets water damage causing led to go dark

- Middle Village, NY, USA

On third generation Dodge Durango's (2014-2020), water and moisture can get inside the racetrack light on the rear of the vehicle, causing the light to stop working in multiple places, and in colder climate, can cause the moisture to freeze and the light to crack. While the vehicle is running at night, the racetrack light is the only light that is constantly on. With water and moisture causing the light to discontinue operation, as well cause other electrical/lighting issues, it could become a very serious driving hazard. Water is currently inside the light on my vehicle, and frozen solid, causing the light to malfunction. Attached picture will show evidence. Vehicle was stationary when light started malfunctioning. Vehicle had never been involved in a motor vehicle accident. Light has never been removed from vehicle.

The racetrack taillights accumulate water inside... this is a well known issue that many had to spend 1000's out of pocket.. the dealer fix is to drill holes in lights to drain water... after replacement of lights the new ones still accumulate water so this is a bad design that needs to be rectified

Noted reoccurring problem with liftgate tail light. Liftgate taillight will all eat water into the light itself and therefore burned out. Problem occurs on both sides as well. Picture only shows one side.

Water has infiltrated the rear liftgate racetrack led light on 2015 Dodge Durango. Portion of the light is out. Much information has been posted about this as a design flaw with Dodge. Eventually the entire light fails as well as the license plate light and becomes a safety issue while operating at dusk or night as rear of vehicle is not illuminated. Dodge should issue a recall to have this replaced and sealed to prevent it from happening further. This problem has been well documented. To repair, owner is responsible to have light replaced at an exuberant cost. I believe Dodge should repair at no cost as this is a safety issue.

Rear tail light assembly allows water to enter which cause the race track taillights to blow and forces consumers to spend over $1000 to fix this issue.

Water got into the led housing on the tailgate and all lights on tailgate then went out causing an expensive repair I now need. I went to milford (pa) Dodge dealership when I first noticed water pooling in the light. ( not even 2 months after purchase) and they told me there's nothing they can do to fix it. And the cpo they gave me won't cover the repair. This vehicle had 18K on it when I first noticed the water!!! this should be a recall as it is a very common complaint with these trucks and Dodge is doing nothing about it! nearly every Durango I see has an led out due to this.

Water pooling in tail light.

- Cutler Bay, FL, USA

Water is filling inside the rear tracklight and taillight.

- Latrobe, PA, USA

The tail light on the hatch collected water and now it burnt out

- Bronx, NY, USA

Rear led tail-light partially burned out due to water leaking into tail-light cover due to poor design of assembly. Entire led tail-light must be replaced, is costly, and not covered under warranty. This is obviously a known and chronic problem amongst Dodge Durango owners!

- Centerview, MO, USA

The led back tail lights are not properly sealed, so water can leak into them and short out the lights, and cause electrical shortage.have tried to work with the dealership, and the Chrysler Corp., but since the vehicle is a 2015 model it is out of warranty. I feel this was a bad seal right out of the factory.

The "racetrack" taillight system has a systemic issue with water infiltrating the enclosed sealed led taillight system. This caused portions of the taillights to burn out and cause lower visibility than intended. Warranty companies consider this a "serviceable" part like normal bulbs, brakes, tires, etc. The problem is that this "serviceable" part is an all enclosed unit and not a simple bulb replacement. You have to replace the entire panel at a cost of nearly $1000!!! or just drive with the limited safety of a fully functioning taillight system. This seems like a safety issue and once one section goes out the rest usually follow. This design flaw should not be considered a serviceable part and fc should be made to remedy the problem and fix this issue at their expense.

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.

- Raleigh, NC, USA

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