Water and condensation is trapped inside the rear brake lights. I think the name of this is called "race track" tail lights. Water is stuck in there and has burnt out one side of my LED light. It just sloshes around with no way to escape. The other side is submerged too but hasn't yet burned out. The entire piece has to be replaced and its very expensive. The part is on "national back order". I'm sure it wont pass inspection and I could get a ticket for it. My durango is not under warranty any more as I just hit the 3 year mark and I am sickened that this part is over $1000. I wish this would be a recall for faulty equipment.

Water inside racetrack light
Water and/or condensation in rear lift gate taillight is causing the LED light to start burning out. This seems to be a manufacturers glitch as I have seen this in several other durango's on the road, and a few of the newer style chargers (same exact burning out location). Working with the dealership they have ordered the replacement part (extremely expensive and will fight with chrysler on this defect) as from a mileage standpoint I am out of warranty, and will attempt further reimbursement for these expenses, however the part was ordered back in the middle of march 2017, and is still on back order as of 4/26/17 with no release date. This sort of back order tells me they know there is a problem and they don't have the supply for all the others with the same issue!
Water pooling in rear tail light causing LED to burn out. Vertical line crack in center of rear LED assembly.
Center rear taillamp on tailgate is getting water inside of it that puddles and collects in bottom of assemble. Concerned that LED units in the lamp may short out.
Rear track light has moisture inside and a portion of the lights are burning out leaving dark areas.
Rear track lights accumulated water resulting in light flickering possibly shorting out. No idea how no physical damage to vehicle.
The rear lift gate LED "racetrack" taillights can become filled with water. This appears to be a common problem with many. Water in the tail lights can cause a short which could be a fire hazard. Tail lights may also stop working with is also a safety hazard. Vehicle owners that are outside factory warranty are forced to pay over $1,000 to have lights replaced. Vehicle was parked in driveway overnight during heavy rain storm.

This has happened twice, the first time was a month or so ago but it happened again last week and the wound was much worse. The exposed edge of the left and right rear brake light are extremely sharp and exposed anytime the rear hatch is open/up. I thought about making a video showing how it could peal and apple or watermelon skin. My right arm has a short 3/4" scrap (1st) and now an almost 3" long scrap that is taking its time to heal. If your skin touches those edges and has any amount of force it will scrape the skin. This happens during unloading if a package shifts while unloading.
I was following a dodge durango SUV in heavy traffic on eisenhower expressway going into chicago at dusk and the lights surrounding the tail lights and across the rear of the durango were so bright I could not see all the other traffic satisfactorily. I couldn't get ahead of the SUV, so had to slowdown and change lanes to drop far enough behind so I couldn't see the irritating lights.the lights were so bright, I felt I was driving into headlights.
