2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, WITH NO WARNING, THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED ON THE DRIVERS SEAT, KNOCKING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH FORCE, MOMENTARILY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL.

WATER COLLECTING INSIDE RACETRACK LED TAILLIGHT CAUSING TAILLIGHT TO NOT BE OPERABLE. I DO NOTICE WATER POOLING INSIDE THE LIGHT FIXTURE EVERY TIME IT RAINS. I HAVE TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH AND THE WATER WILL SLOWLY START TO DROP OUT.

THE RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT WILL FILL WITH WATER DURING A RAIN STORM CAUSING THE REAR RUNNING LIGHT TO GO OUT. THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF THE RUNNING LIGHTS GO OUT AT NIGHT. I STARTED NOTICING THIS PROBLEM ON OR AROUND 4/12019 AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. DOING RESEARCH HAS LEAD ME TO SEVERAL POSTS ON THE INTERNET WITH OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. HERE IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY LINK TALKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.DODGEDURANGO.NET/FORUMS/DURANGO-DISCUSSIONS-2014/42937-POLL-WATER-TAIL-LIGHT-2014-A-26.HTML

REAR RACE TRACK LIGHT WATER INSIDE AND LED LIGHT OUT. CAN NOT GET STICKER. MOISTURE IN LICENSE PLATE LIGHT HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE TIMES. CAN NOT GET STICKER.

THE DESIGN OF THE 'RACETRACK' STYLE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY ALLOWS WATER AND WATER CONDENSATION TO ACCUMULATE WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER PARTS WARRANTY FOR MY VEHICLE 3 TIMES. IF THESE TAILLIGHTS ARE NOT WARRANTIED THE COST TO REPLACE IS PROHIBITIVE, RESULTING IN MANY VEHICLES WITH REDUCED REAR LIGHT VISIBILITY.

THERE IS WATER IN THE REAR TAIL LIGHT RACE RACK. MUST BE A SEAL ISSUE SINCE THE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE TAIL LIGHTS. HOPEFULLY THE LIGHTS DON'T GO OUT BEFORE IT IS FIXED.

WATER LEAKED IN AND ACCUMULATED INSIDE THE REAR "RACETRACK" LED TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY, CAUSING FAILURE TO LED LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY. THE DESIGN OF THIS ASSEMBLY IS CLEARLY FLAWED DUE TO THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING. DODGE QUOTED MY $1100 FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

LED LIGHT ON ONE SIDE OF THE LIFT GATE IS OUT POSSIBLY DUE TO WATER INSIDE OF THE TAIL LIGHT NEED ANSWERS. LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

THERE IS WATER POOLING IN MY BACK TAILLIGHT BAR. THIS HAS MADE THE TAILLIGHT BAR GO OUT.

THE TAIL RUNNING LIGHT IS OUT, AFTER LOOKING AT THE AFFECTED AREA, THIS IS DUE TO WATER BEING INSIDE THE LIGHTING AREA. WE HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN OTHER DURANGO'S. DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE US TO REPLACE THIS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT AND WE ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR SUCH A REPAIR. WATER INSIDE A RUNNING LIGHT IS CLEARLY NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT.
