2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WATER IS ENTERING THE REAR TRACK LIGHTING AND IT HAS SHORTED OUT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS STATIONARY. *TR

I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS, I BARELY HIT 40K AND I AM EXPERIENCING A LOT OF LIFTER NOISE. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I AM SURPRISED THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED FOR THIS PURPOSE. WHEN IT'S STATIONARY THE SOUND IS A LOT LOUDER THAN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

TRAVELLING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH PASSENGER HEADREST SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO BRAKING OR UNUSUAL ACTIVITY. OUR 12 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WAS KNOCKED ON THE HEAD BY IT, BUT NO INJURY. VEHICLE HAS AROUND 120,000 MILES, HAS HAD NO OTHER MAJOR ISSUES, AND BEEN IN NO PRIOR ACCIDENTS. I FIND THIS "SAFETY FEATURE" COMPLETELY UN-NECESSARY, AND AN EXPENSIVE OVER-KILL. A STANDARD HEADREST IS SUFFICIENT.

WHILE STOPPED AT A DRIVE THROUGH THE HEADREST OF THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT DEPLOYED HEATING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD CAUSING A GOOD AMOUNT OF HEAD PAIN

THE REAR TAILLIGHT GETS WATER IN IT EVERYTIME IT RAINS AND PART OF THE LED OF THE TAILLIGHT HAS GONE OUT DUE TO THE WATER AND THIS IS A HIGE SAFETY CONCERN. ON DODGE FORUM THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND WELL AS WELL KNOWN OF AT THE DEALERSHIP. I DID CALL DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NORESPONSIBILTY TAKEN.

THE PASSENGER HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE A PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN SEAT. I ( THE OWNER OF THE CAR) WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION. WE HAD DRIVEN TO A RESTAURANT AND WERE WAITING, PARKED IN A SPACE, IGNITION RUNNING, FOR OUR FOOD TO BE BROUGHT OUT TO THE CAR. WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, MY DAUGHTER SHRIEKED AND THEN WE FIGURED OUT THAT THE HEADREST POPPED OUT. SHE HAS A HEADACHE, SORE NECK BUT MINOR INJURIES, HOWEVER, HAD THE CAR BEEN IN MOTION AND THE DRIVER'S HEADREST DEPLOYED, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.*DT CONSUMER STATED HEADREST HAS BEEN REPLACED.*JB

PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED, CAR GOING ABOUT 35 MPH, WITH NO COLLISION OR BRAKING OCCURRING TO SET OFF THE HEADREST.

REAR TAILLIGHT COLLECTS WATER IN THE HOUSING WHEN IT RAINS, SNOW OR WASH. DUE TO THIS DEFECT KNOW MY REAR TAIL LIGHT IS BURNED OUT. THIS OCCURS WHEN I'M STATIONARY OR MOVING. I READ A LOT OF FORUMS AND IT SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE. *TR

NOTICED WATER INSIDE THE CENTER REAR TAILLIGHT. TOOK THE LOWER CORNER BOLTS OUT AND TONS OF WATER POURS OUT ANY TIME THE CAR GETS WET (CAR WASH, RAIN STORM ETC). PARTS OF THE LED LIGHT ARE GOING OUT BECAUSE OF THE WATER INTRUSION. I MAKE SURE TO DRAIN THE WATER WHENEVER THE CAR GETS WET, AND TO NOT TURN THE LIGHTS ON WHEN THERE MAY BE WATER INSIDE THE HOUSING. OF COURSE, YOU CAN'T REPLACE THE BULB INSIDE, YOU HAVE TO BUY AN ENTIRE CENTER TAILLIGHT FOR OVER $1,000.00!!! WONT BE LONG AND THE ENTIRE LIGHT WILL BE BURNT OUT. NOW, SINCE I LIVE IN WYOMING WHERE WE HAVE NASTY WINTERS, AND THE WATER INTRUSION KEEPS GETTING WORSE, THE WATER HAS FROZEN INSIDE THE TAILLIGHT AND CRACKED THE LENS, CREATING MORE WATER INTRUSION! TERRIBLE DESIGN. I HAVE READ HOURS OF FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY VERY COMMON ON 2014-2019 DURANGOS. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE. SOME HAVE GOTTEN EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO PAY FOR A NEW TAILLIGHT, THEN, A MONTH LATER, THEY HAVE WATER INSIDE THE LIGHT AND A BURNT OUT LIGHT AGAIN. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A NASTY BLIZZARD; I CAN'T GO BUY A NEW BULB TO PUT IN IT AND I DEFINITELY CAN'T GO BUY A NEW TAILLIGHT AT $1K JUST TO HAVE IT DO THE SAME THING. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE LIGHTS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A RELIABLE DESIGN.

WIFE WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA GOING APROX15MPH. DID NOT HIT ANYTHING ORWAS NOT STRUCK BY ANYTHING. WAS STRUCK IN THE HEAD THROWING HER HEAD VIOLENTLY FORWARD, BY THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYING. SHE WAS SHOCKED AS SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED. SHE IMMEDIATELY FELT PAIN AND LIGHT HEADEDNESS. RETURNED HOME LESS THAN BLOCK FROM THE HEADREST DEPLOYING. I TOOK HER TO ER, AFTER 2 HRS DETERMINED SHE HAD A CONCUSSION AND STRAINED MUSCLES IN HER NECK, BASICALLY WHIPLASH.
