2015 Dodge Durango lights complaints
Page 4 of 8: complaints 71 to 100 of 197, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The rear deck lid tail lights fill with water eventually shorting out the lights and impacting the ability for other drivers to see the vehicle from the rear. Over time this may lead to other electrical problems as it is never good to have water accumulating in the tail lights. The backup camera is also shared in this component. This appears to be a known issue that fca dodge appears to be ignoring. The only solution offered is to replace the component with another which includes the backup camera for $1000.
Exterior tail lights and bar collect water which burns out the leds. No way to replace individual LED need to replace the bar which is over $1000.00. Is a night time hazard since the lights are burnt out and progressively getting worse. Started as small black spot in bottom corner and is now spreading. Spoke to dodge and it's not covered! Started when car had less then 40k miles on it.
Water getting into the 'racetrack' portion of the rear tail lights causing malfunction including melting and snorting out wires.
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
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.
Tl* 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.
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
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.
Water is filling inside the rear tracklight and taillight.
The tail light on the hatch collected water and now it burnt out
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!
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.
Taillights fill with moisture causing bulbs to burnout & create hazard when braking. Seals to keep moisture out need to be replaced or updated
My rear LED light bar is out. I looked and there is water inside of the light bar. There are gaps all around the light bar which is how the water is getting in. Warranty is trying to deny coverage. This has to be a manufacturing issue. There is a lot of proper with the same issue that I am having.
Seal on the center tail light 'racetrack lighting' is ineffective. The light fills up with water, does not drain, and stops functioning. Dealer is aware of it being a common problem, but is still charging over $1,200 to repair.
Rear tail panel of LED strips is out at all times, causing a safety concern. Started with lower right side of ribbon light out, now the entire strip is out, including the required tag lights. Started when I only had about 60k miles on it. Contacted dodge dealership and they state they're aware of the problem but it will cost at least 1k just for the part, not including labor.
First my driver side headlight went out. Replaced the bulb an it still does not work. It not the fuse or connector either. Then my passager side taillight an my lift gate light do not work. Bought new taillight an plugged it in an still not working. It's not the fuse or connector so I don't know what else to do.
Driving at night, car passes me and aggressively honked/pointed behind me. Pulled over and noticed my rear lights were completely out. Messed with the light switch to see if it made a difference, it did not. Next day I see water pooled on both sides of the tailgate lighting assembly. Did research and learned to remove bolts to drain water from the assembly. Some functionality returned but right lower side remains out.
Water gets into the rear liftgate lighting (then'racetrack' light which causes the LED to fail. Over time the problem will spread causing visibility to suffer. Once water is in there and leds fail the only option is replacement of the entire assembly.
