Tail light cracked allowing water in lights causing lights to go out. Noticed this about 1.5 years ago. No other damage, looks like it was cut with a laser. Car was stationary
2017 Dodge Durango lights complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 82, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The racetrack lights has water in it and it has flashed off an on. Once the water was out it came back on
The rear tail light bar filled with water and stopped working. This part was 1st replaced in december 2018, and now the 2nd one is no longer working. This is a safety hazard and a known issue for this vehicle. I have called the dealership and chrysler and they are not willing to replace or fix this known defect.
The rear lights are filling with water. This will eventually cause short or problem with lights and I feel is a safety issue. I will attempt to have dealer repair, but I am not sure what is causing this. I see other issues stating the racetrack light is filling with water. We have drained the water numerous times. I see this is an issued for 2014, 2015, 2016 years as well I am attaching similar complaints
I have a 2017 dodge durango rt. My tailgate lights have water in them and during my travels I am noticing my truck is not the only one. Trying to figure out a fix for this problem. Is it my responsibility dodges?
The left turn signal and the back track light go out at the same time intermittently. Also the stop and start function is still not working correctly and I had it at the dealer, dutchess dodge 2x's now. 1st time they stated the stop/ start battery and the 2nd time they replaced the cel and still having issues with not working correctly. I have only had this truck since october. There's no way I should be having these issues. There is definitely going on with this truck and not sure why there is not a recall. When I was driving and made a stop the start/stop function started working but then the left turn signal and the back track light stopped working . The first day I got the truck home the start/stop function was not working but the turn signal and track light were fine. I purchased the truck and it had 70751 miles on it. The stop start/ stop function was not working from the day I purchase it and then cam one problem after another.
Bought my durango couple months ago and the center taillight stopped working and found out it is full of water and when I went to dealership the said they sell so many that they are on back order and price was $1200.00 so after reading some forums I realize this is a very common problem and don't understand why the manufacturer is not replacing them as a recall when they know that this is a huge problem
My center tail light known as the race track light had gotten moisture in it and some of the LED lights went out. I was in the process of trying to find a solution as to why this happened as my vehicle is not even 4 years old yet. This issue started november of 2020. Well fast forward to 2-13-21 the whole center part has now completely went out and doesnt work at all. I have been doing alot of research and see there is alot of issues with people having the same problems and the manufacturer not doing anything about the issue to fix them. This is a huge saftey concern and would like some more feedback on what could be done to have it fixed as its not a cheap fix at all. Thank you in advance and hopefully we can get something going for this.
Having issues with water in race track taillight and now. The whole racetrack tail light is out
My 2017 dodge durango had water intrusion in the lift-gate tail light. I had one replaced under warranty after I noticed that the lights had failed and could see the water pooling in the light. The replace tail light also has water pooling in the bottom part of the light. The dealer won't replace this one for free because the warranty had expired.
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
The lift gate brake light gets moisture inside during rain. The water builds up and burns out the LED lights. This is a safety issue. You need brake lights.
1. My fuel tank will not fill up all the way and will stop at each fill up. I have to manually keep trying to pump the fuel. Almost always I can never fill fully up. This is a known issue and needs to be resolved. 2. I also have an issue with my racetrack tail light with condensation and water getting inside. I have a faulty light as I have had my dealer check for cracks or openings.3. Auto start on/off jerky and sometimes does not start on time and will jolt forward when trying to accerate at stop light.
The race track tail light has water in it and condensation. The LED lights short it out while driving and almost caused and accident. Got stop by the cops because in his words my lights keep flickering is a quality check defect.theres a whole community going trough this problem we need a solution. This happens if the truck is stop or moving gets water inside the race track tailed lights.we getting a hurricane here in texas so much water my house might not flood but my lights will.
Water pooling in taillights causing corrosion to LED's and burning them out - can lead to short circuit and possible fire.
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.
The driver side headlight went out. My car was still under warranty so I took it in for service. They informed me that the whole headlight assembly had to be replaced because the ballest was bad which caused the bulb to blow. Within two or three weeks the passenger side one went out and was told the same thing. The car wasn't under the manufacture warranty at that point so ended up costing me money to replace it. This is clearly a fault in the design because there was another customer there that had the very same issue. Both lights when you started the car the light would flash on and then after starting to drive the light would then go out.
Driver side head lamp repeatedly fails and burns out affection night time driving visibility. When each and every bulb is replaced it has burned terminals causing light bulb to short out. Not only is this expensive to replace every 3 to 4 weeks, it is unsafe to operate the vehicle with low visibility at night. It also, makes my vehicle less visible to oncoming drivers. In addition, it is causing undo distress being constantly pulled over by law enforcement and being either fined or warned for driving illegally with one head lamp I have seen on you tube and other outlets on line that this is a typical problem for this make and model of vehicle.
Water pooling inside the racetrack taillights, decklid area. Lights seem to not be waterproof or watertight.
My left turning signal kept going out and coming back on. Then I noticed it was effecting the head lights. It seem like something is loose because sometimes if I hit a bomp they start working normal again. Now both head lights are out and the bulbs are fine.
Water collected in the rear light bar housing causing the lights on each lower corner of the housing to burn out.
With in the past 8 months and starting at 38,000 miles the LED racing tail lights on the passenger side has an 8" inch burnt out spot and now the left drivers side has the same issue.
Tail light has water in them. Weather causes water to freeze and damage lights. Makes it hard to see when braking at night.
I noticed that the front left turn signal quit working. I assumed it was a burnt-out bulb. In searching on the internet for a "how-to" for replacing this bulb (it's in pretty cramped quarters), I found that it was common for the turn signals to work intermittently for this vehicle and several model years before and after it. Further, there was a diagnosis of burnt contacts that were the culprit. In removing the bulb, it appeared to be not burnt out, but the contact was burnt. I replaced it and the next day it failed to work again. Now it and the other one work intermittently. In removing them, I find that the contact in the receptacle is also burnt. I feel that this is a prevalent problem on this vehicle model (given the internet complaints), and that this is a safety issue. Further, I am required (for safety reasons) to have functioning turn signals on this vehicle. I contacted the dealer and they claim that there are no outstanding recalls on this vehicle. Beyond that they refused to commit to whether this was a known problem or if there was a known solution.
I noticed water getting into the middle LED race track lighting. The middle LED light is already out because of this. I believe the housing is a factory defect, my truck only has 40,000 and this is already happening. Extended warrenty wont cover this because of "condensation."
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 dodge durango r/t awd. The contact stated that the race track lights were burned out by water. The vehicle had not been seen at the dealer for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the extended warranties expired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
Water is getting in the tail lights and causing the lights to go out.

Water collects in the rear tail light assembly (the one across the tailgate with the back-up camera). So bad, some lamps have blown out on the lower right of the assembly. It only drains out when removing a.bolt on each side, but within a few weeks, the water returns.
I did my own investigation and I found out that almost every dodge durango 2017 has a problem on the left front turn light switch. It is an electrical problem, it doesn't matter if you change the bulb several times
