2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS STANDING BY THE VEHICLE, ONE OF THE TAIL LIGHTS CRACKED IN A VERTICAL LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MERRICK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP OF WANTAGH (516-868-4400, LOCATED AT 3614 SUNRISE HWY, STE B, WANTAGH, NY 11793) WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT IT WAS NOT A KNOWN FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000.

THE ENTIRE BRAKE LIGHT (PANELS) HAD WATER LEAK IN THEM CAUSING WATER TO BACK UP IN PLASTIC COVER SHORTING OUT THE BREAK LIGHTS AND CAUSING CONDENSATION ON THE REST OF THE BRAKE PANELS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS OR CAR IS GETTING WASHED OR ANY TIME WATER TOUCHES BACK BRAKE LIGHTS.

RACETRACK TAIL LIGHTS BURNT OUT FROM NORMAL USE BECAUSE THE PART SUFFERED A COMMON MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS PART IS FLAWED AND NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED AND ISSUED A RECALL TO ALL RACETRACK OWNERS.

CENTER TAILGATE (RACE TRACK) TAIL LIGHT GETS WATER IN IT EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR SNOW MELTS REGARDLESS IF STATIONARY OR DRIVING. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND THE LIGHT IS NOW SHORTED OUT (VISIBLY BURNT) AND THE VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE BURNT PLASTIC. REPLACED JUNE 2016, DEC 2017 AND NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DEC 2019.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED WHEN IT RAINED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS SHORTED OUT WITHOUT WARNING. ALL-STAR DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (2590 RANGE PARK DR, DENHAM SPRINGS, LA 70726, (225) 665-8266) WAS CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.

ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED ON DRIVERS SIDE 2 YEARS AGO, LAST MONTH PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED. IN BOTH CASES DEPLOYMENT WAS NOTICED UPON ENTERING STATIONARY VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE REAR LIGHTING ON MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED ALLOWING WATER TO LEAK INSIDE OF THE LIGHTS. THE REAR RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT HAS GOTTEN WATER INSIDE OF IT CAUSING SOME OF THE LED LIGHTS TO STOP WORKING. ONE OF THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS HAS ALSO GOTTEN WATER INSIDE OF IT WHICH HAS CAUSED IT TO STOP WORKING. FROM SOME RESEARCH THIS LOOKS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING WITH 2014 AND NEWER DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT MAY CAUSE EVEN FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND LIGHTS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR SAFETY REASONS.

WATER IN THE TAIL LIGHT ( TRACK LIGHT/ LED). JUST REPLACED 8 MONTHS AGO BY DEALERSHIP. ON DRIVERS SIDE LOWER LED HAS A CUP OF WATER FROM THE RAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME. FIRST TIME, TURNED DARK AND LIGHT WENT OUT AFTER BUYING 2 MONTHS LATER. 3/15/19

3RD GENERATION DODGE DURANGO, 2014 WITH THE TRACK TAIL LIGHTS, WATER FROM EITHER RAIN OR MOISTURE GET INTO THE DRIVERS REAR TAIL LIGHT CAUSING IT TO NOT WORK. IVE BEEN STOPPED SEVERAL TIME BY THE POLICE. IN 2015 AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 1 TR THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY, IN 2017 THE LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN AND THE CAR IN NOW OUT OF WARANTY AND THE COST TO REPLACE IT IS $485.00 +/- . 2019 AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN AND AFTER TELLING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE LIGHT THEY WILL NOT CHANGE IT AS CHRYSLER SAYS ITS NOT COVERED EVEN THO THEY KNOW ITS DEFICTIVE .

WATER IN REAR LIFT GATE LIGHT RAIL. CAUSED LED LIGHTS TO BURN OUT. AFTER READING THE FORUMS IT APPEARS THERE COULD BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE LIGHT RAIL WITH WATER IN IT
