TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE CHECKING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN OIL LEAK ON THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN MULTIPLE TIMES TO JACK POWELL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 1625 AUTO PARK WAY, ESCONDIDO, CA 92029, (760) 745-2880). THE DEALER DROVE THE VEHICLE A COUPLE OF MILES AND REPAIRED THE ENGINE BY FILLING IT WITH SILICONE. THE SECOND TIME THE DEALER SERVICED THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND REPAIRED THE VALVE GASKET WITH SILICONE. THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WAS ON MAY 25, 2019, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE CONTACT STILL EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE AFTER MULTIPLE REPAIR ATTEMPTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,386.

REAR "RACING" LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS FILL WITH WATER EVERY TIME IT RAINS. SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM

MY RACETRACK TAILLIGHT IN THE BACK OF MY 2015 DODGE DURANGO HAS ACCUMULATED WATER BUILD UP ON BOTH SIDES OF IT AND HAS CAUSED THE LEFT PART OF THE UNIT TO SHORT OUT. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THIS BECAUSE ABOUT HALF THE DURANGOS I SEE ON THE ROAD HAVE THIS AS WELL. IT IS NOTHING MYSELF, OR ANY OTHER OF THE OTHER OWNERS ON THE ROAD HAVE DONE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE. I SUGGEST MAYBE ALLOCATING SOME OF THE CHEROKEE AND WRANGLER REVENUE OVER TO PAY FOR THIS IN ORDER TO KEEP CUSTOMERS SAFE CONSIDERING THE UNIT IS $1200.00. THAT'S A PRETTY HEFTY EXPENSE FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE TO INCUR IF THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO BRING IT UPON THEMSELVES. THIS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I DON'T NEED TO INCLUDE A PICTURE BECAUSE EVERYONE AT CHRYSLER IS FULLY AWARE OF THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM DUE TO HOW MANY PEOPLE SHARE THE SAME CONCERNS. AGAIN, IT'S CRAZY HOW THIS IS NOT COVERED.

THE REAR HATCH LIGHT ASSEMBY HAS A LEAK AND HOLDS WATER. TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS WAS TOLD LED LIGHTS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT A DEFECT IN LED LIGHTS, ITS A DEFECT IN THE ASSEMBLY WHICH IS CAUSING LED LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION, WHICH IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AS IF THE LIGHTS GO OUT DUE TO THE DEFECT I WILL HAVE NO BACK LIGHTS WHICH COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE MY VEHICLE IN TIME TO STOP CAUSING A REAREND COLLISION. THIS IS DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING, WHICH COULD ALSO CAUSE A SHORT IN THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE. IT IS NOT CONDENSATION OR MOISTURE AS EVERYTIME IT RAINS OR ITS WASHED THE ASSEMBLY FILLS WITH WATER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS.

I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A CRACK OR OPENING IN THE RACE TRACK LIGHT OF THE DODGE DURANGO TRUCKS FROM 2015 AND ABOVE. I HAVE A DODGE DURANGO LIKE MY WIFE, MY NEIGHBOR, AND MY MOTHERS NEIGHBOR. ALL OF US HAVE AN OPENING AT THE TOP OF OUR RACETRACK LIGHTS WHERE THE LIGHT IS NOT COMPLETELY SEAL AND THE OPENING IS ENOUGH TO ALLOW WATER TO GET IN AND SETTLE INTO THE LIGHT. THIS IS AN ISSUE AS IT CAN CAUSE A SHORTAGE IN THE RACE TRACK LIGHT. FOR MYSELF IT HAS ALREADY ACCURED WITH MINE OPENING BEING ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE AND MY WIFE BEING ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. THIS IS AN ISSUE AS EVEN MY NEIGHBOR WHO HAS A BRAND NEW DURANGO HAD THIS ISSUE. I'VE ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND HALF AND PURCHASED IT BEYOND THE 36K WARRANTY. THIS IS A ISSUE IN WHICH CAN CAUSE A SHORTAGE OF THE TAIL LIGHTS, WHICH CAUSES THE OWNER TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A DEFECTIVE TAIL LIGHT COMING FROM THE MANUFACTURE. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLIANT AND FORUMS OF OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN A LEADING CAUSE FOR OWNERS TO HAVE TO PAY OVER $1,000 TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER OF DODGE IN WHICH NEITHER OF THEM CAN SPEAK ON THE MATTER TO FIX OR REMEDY THE ISSUE. THIS SHORTAGE CAN BE A FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARD AS OWNERS DRIVING THAT HAVE WATER LEAKING INTO THEIR RACE TRACK LIGHT CAN THEN END UP HAVE THE TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT DUE TO AN ISSUE OF A DEFECTIVE ITEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER IN WHICH THE OWNER HAS NO CONTROL OVER THIS MATTER AND WOULDN'T THINK TO EVEN LOOK AT IT UNTIL SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY WRONG. THE BIG ISSUE IS THAT I'M SHIPPING MY VEHICLE TO GERMANY SOON AND THIS IS AN ISSUE IN WHICH I DON'T WANT MY VEHICLE UNABLE TO BE PROCESSED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE ITEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

PREMATURE WEAR ON TAIL HOUSING SEAL GASKET. WATER LEAKS IN WHEN IT RAINS AND FILLS THE TAIL LIGHT. WATER THEN AFFECTS THE LED WHEN THEN FLICKERS BEFORE IT KILLS THE LED.

DEFECTIVE MIDDLE LIGHT HOUSING OF REAR TAILLIGHTS, WHICH SEPARATES OVER TIME AND ALLOWS WATER TO POOL IN LOWER LIGHT BAR, AROUND LEDS - EVENTUALLY LEADING TO LED FAILURE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE FOR DODGE. I HAVE HAD THE MIDDLE LED TAILLIGHT SECTION REPLACED ONCE BY DODGE FEB 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 33,000 MILES. NOW AFTER 15 MONTHS, AT APPROXIMATELY 44,000 MILES THE EXACT SITUATION IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE TAILLIGHT HAS SEPARATED AGAIN AND IS ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER INTO THE LED SECTION, AGAIN LEADING TO LED FAILURE AS SHOWN IN ATTACHMENT.

WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT CAUSING THE DAMAGE AND MAKING THE CAR LESS VISIBLE.

60,000 MILE GARAGE KEPT DURANGO WITH P0455 (EVAP PURGE HOSE CRACK) CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WARRANTY IS OUT (SO MUCH FOR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY- WONT COVER) AND DEALERSHIP WONT REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGING ME. THERE ARE NUMEROUS TSB 25-002-15 REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. ISSUE A RECALL.. REAR TAILLIGHTS ALL LEAK WATER. MOISTURE AND WATER IS VISIBLE AND THE CAR HASN'T BEEN WET IN SOME TIME. MY COMPLAINT MATCHES THE OTHERS OUT THERE. FACORY LIGHTS LEAKING CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LIGHTING ASPECT AND SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE AND OTHER AROUND ME. DEALERSHIP WONT REPLACE, WARRANTY WONT COVER. PRICING IS ABSURDLY HIGH TO REPLACE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL NEED TO ISSUED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN GOOD FAITH THAT DODGE AND WARRANTY PEOPLE WOULD TAKE CARE OF ISSUES THAT ARE MANUFACTURER RELATED. NOT SO!!
