2014 Dodge Durango lights complaints
Page 4 of 10: complaints 71 to 100 of 260, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle stalled on highway when going over 40 MPH. Water gets into left rear light and causes rear lights to go out.
Rear LED litigate light collects water inside unit and burns out the LED. This the third time it had happened. Light was replaced twice already.
Water is/has pooled in the rear tail lamp mounted on the lift gate, causing the LED's to not work correctly and short out on the passenger side. I am not alone by my research on dodge durango forums. This appears to be a universal problem with most owners whose LED's are also shorted out. I am wondering why there has not been a recall, or, if there is, I would appreciate a replacement at no cost to me. The whole assembly needs to be replaced, as these are not repairable. I did not place water in this sealed unit, so how did so many of us get water in there? Would appreciate and explanation of why I should have to pay over $1,000.00 for a factory defect? Any reply would greatly be helpful.

I have had issues with the rear lighting on my 2014 dodge durango limited allowing water to leak inside of the lights. The rear racetrack tail light has gotten water inside of it causing some of the LED lights to stop working. One of the license plate lights has also gotten water inside of it which has caused it to stop working. From some research this looks to be an ongoing issue that customers are having with 2014 and newer dodge durango vehicles. This is a safety concern that may cause even further damage to the vehicle's electrical system and lights that are needed for safety reasons.

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.
Because of condensation/standing water in the back racetrack light, the light is now burnt out and dodge is quoting me $1,100 to fix this issue. It is not covered under any warranty and there is not yet a recall. I contacted dodge regarding this safety issue and they have offered no resolution or suggestion to help. This is a wide spread issue affecting models year 2010 to present. I am honestly wondering how this has no been addressed yet. When I questioned whether the issue is being fixed on newer models, I got a very generic answer.
Rear raceway taillight has partially gone out. From what I've gathered, this is a common problem with this vehicle due to an engineering design flaw. Water is allowed to penetrate, shorting out raceway light, decreasing visibility from the rear, particularly in adverse and low visibility conditions. This manufacturer flaw should be addressed, corrected and replaced by manufacturer as it is a safety issue.

Rain water gets into rear tail lights and causes short in tail light. Light burns out and needs premature replacement due to leak from water. Due to safety issue with lights being burn out while driving in rainy conditions, especially at night, is a large safety issue which can result in accident. I do not want to be rear ended due to this safety issue, especially with my 1 year old daughter and wife in the vehicle..
The tail lights (commonly referred to as the 'race track tail lights) mounted on the exterior of the rear hatch constantly fill up with water which is burning out the lights. This is apparently a very common problem on these vehicles. This part should have been covered by the manufacturer. This happens any time it rains and in the seattle area that is very frequent.
