I have contacted fca (fiat chrysler of america) about the highly common issue with the tail lamp issue on my vehicle as well as many others having the exact same issue. In cold temperatures my center 'track bar' and passenger tail lamp don't turn on whatsoever including the LED brake light or turn signal on the one side. When they do decide to work the bottom corners of the 'track bar' appear out and this is due to a highly common issue of the tail lamp assemblies being poorly sealed at the factory allowing water/moisture to make its way in causing the lights to fog up and eventually fail. This can be very easily looked into and verified on multiple forums, customers of the vehicle or even youtube videos addressing this. They need to issue a recall on this addressing this issue as I've been pulled over once due to this issue and almost rear ended at night due to the other driver being unable to see my vehicle with the lights out.
2015 Dodge Durango lights complaints
Page 3 of 8: complaints 41 to 70 of 197, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Seat heats don't work properly when remote starts. Sometimes when you manually start they work. Back track light some how got water inside and now the whole track light is not working along with license plate light.
Water in rear center racetrack tail light.
Race track lighting on rear lift gate has burned out. Lighting fixture is supposed to be sealed. Moisture was able to get into lighting fixture causing light to burn out. Neither dodge customer service, dodge dealership,or complete titanium plus extended warranty are willing to rectify this problem that is being experienced by many other individuals. This race track lighting fixture illuminates the rear of the vehicle and without it may result in a serious rear end collision.
Rear track lights fill with water. It is really dim and the only way to drain is to unscrew the bolts. Afraid that eventually the whole thing will burn out.
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.
Water infiltration into raceway rear light-LED shorted out and no longer works. Not sure when or how it entered.
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.
Water is pooling in my track lighting. I have to take the bolts out to empty it. Now the lights are failing!!!
Tail light collects water while in motion on any road or stationary. Lights short out which can be hazardous when driving in the rain or at night.
Rear gate taillight filled with water shorting out lights over $1000 to fix stupid.
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!
Rear tailgate LED light and plate lights shorted out and are non functional due to water leaking into light assembly from bad sealing process.
Water is pooling in racetrack tail light when it rains.
My real racetrack light shut down because of the water inside of it.
Dodge durango water in taillights causes waterlog in the LED lighting area and not draining LED out on the left side of vehicle. Replacing item cost around $1085.00 and up manufacturing design defect. Vehicle has 31954 miles on it.
Light assembly on rear hatch does not seal properly allowing for water to penetrate and retain in light housing, causing turn signals to short and fail.
Water has gotten into the taillight which causes the LED lights to short out.
Liftgate race track lighting fills with water. One portion of the LED went out, now the entire light is burned out.
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.
Liftgate race track lighting fills with water. One portion of the LED went out, now the entire light is burned out.
Tl* the contact owns 2015 dodge durango. The contact stated that during inclement weather, the rear taillamps allowed for water intrusion in the taillamp housing which caused the bulbs to burn out prematurely. The vehicle was taken ot the dealer waldorf dodge ram 2294 crain hwy waldorf, md 20601 (240) 754-2990 where it was inspected, not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was not available.
Mt rear, center tail light has water inside which has caused the light to slowly die out.
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.
Water has collected in rear tailgate lights which has caused lights to malfunction including license plate lights.
Water collects in the rear taillight assembly causing LED lighting to short out and become non functioning. Not sure if water collected in assembly while vehicle is moving or stationary.
