The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that after a visual inspection of the vehicle, he became aware that the taillights were not functioning properly. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the taillight sealant, resulting in water leaking into the casing and short-circuiting the wiring. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 79,000.

Apparent defect in racetrack light. Water gets into the racetrack light and causes it to burn out. This will cause the racetrack light to not fully light up when braking. Multiple people have almost rearended me. Did some research and other owners have reported an electrical smell or possible burning smell. Defect was confirmed with car dealership that water is getting into the racetrack light. Sometimes its part of light sometimes its the full light. Unable to pass inspection in NYS without light being completely lit up so this needs to be recalled as it is a safety issue and should be fixed by Dodge.

Water enters the rear tail light track lighting system, causing shorts in the LED lights. I have had it replaced 2 times now because of this defect. The new track light hasn't been installed for 1 year yet and water has gotten back into the tail lights cause shortages and outages. This is a hazard that needs to be addressed by dodge

Water entered tailgate light housing and pooled up over time. This caused some of the lights to go out. The durango has less than 35,000 miles and due to it coming from canada there is no factory coverage. Seems after little research it is a very common problem and very costly to owners. To the tune of $1200 and up for dealership replacement and labor.

On my 2017 dodge durango rt at 37,000 miles I noticed when raining water enters the center racing lights (specifically on the right side) and pools inside shorting the lights so they don't work anymore. Condensation collects in several areas because of the pooling water.
