2015 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WATER IS FILLING UP IN THE BOTTOM OF THE RACE TRACK LIGHTS IN THE REAR. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE CASING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING.

DODGE DURANGO U65/NHTSA 18V-332 VEHICLE MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE VEHICLE (IN MOTION, BUT SLOWING) TO ACCELERATE (LEAP FORWARD) UNEXPECTEDLY, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET. THIS WAS THE SECOND ACCIDENT WITH SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES IN THIS VEHICLE. AFTER THE FIRST ACCIDENT (6/28/18), WE TOOK THE DURANGO TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DURANGO U65 RECALL NOTICE ARRIVED IN THE MAIL A FEW DAYS AFTER THE SECOND ACCIDENT, AND WE IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FIX.

DODGE DURANGO RECALL U65/NHTSA 18V-332 VEHICLE MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE VEHICLE (IN MOTION, BUT SLOWING) TO ACCELERATE (LEAP FORWARD) UNEXPECTEDLY, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET.

RACETRACKLIGHT TAILGATE HAS WATER IN IT WHICH BURNT OUT LIGHT. WARRANTY NOT COVERING. MAJOR ISSUE WITH ALL DURANGO'S WITH RACE TRACK TAILGATE LIGHT.

CENTER REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS SHORT ON RIGHT SIDE. SEVERAL LED BULBS NO LONGER LIGHT UP AFFECTING VEHICLE VISIBILITY. THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE LENS.

RAIN WATER GETTING INTO TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY CAUSING WATER TO POOL INSIDE LIGHT AND CAUSE LEDS TO SHORT AND NO LONGER ILLUMINATE. AND THE COST TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY IS OVER $1000.

RACE TRACK TAILLIGHT ON REAR DECKLID HAS WATER POOLING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF LIGHT!

BROUGHT MY 2015 DODGE DURANGO IN FOR A STATE INSPECTION. WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A COMPUTER ERROR MESSAGE STATING "LIFTGATE PARK LAMP SHORT". THE SERVICE PERSON STATED THAT THERE WAS WATER IN THE LIGHT, AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED TO PASS INSPECTION FOR ROUGHLY $1200. WHEN ASKED HOW THE WATER GOT IN, HE DID NOT KNOW. BECAUSE WATER WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SHORT, IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE MAXIMUM CARE VEHICLE PROTECTION WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM, I SAW THAT MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND WERE COMPLETING THIS FORM TO HAVE NHTSA LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM WITH WATER LEAKING INTO THE LIGHT.

39,000 MILES. LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL WITH CORROSION ON BULB CAUSING IT NOT TO FUNCTION. MULTIPLE LED BULBS BURNED OUT AND REPLACED. NOW REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY LEDS BURNING OUT. ALL VERY EARLY IN LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DURANGO. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REED CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3100 S US-169, ST JOSEPH, MO 64503, (816) 233-9149) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS MOISTURE IN THE TAIL LIGHTS; HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIND A FRACTURE IN THE TAIL LIGHT FIXTURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.
