2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

FIRST ISSUE IS BACK RACETRACK LENSES IS FULL OF WATER CAUSING BULBS TO BLOW OUT.SECONDLY,AND MOST SCAREY WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH AND CAR STARTS MAKING LOUD NOISES ON DASH(THAT ALONE SCAREY ENOUGH TO CREATE A CRASH)BUT THE LOOSES POWER AND BARELY CAN STEER VEHICLE TO SIDE OF RT.27,THEN STARTED BACK UP.I AM A SINGLE MOM OF 2 BOYS,(ONE WHICH I RELY ON THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT TO MANY DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS.)LAST THING I NEED IS A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.PLEASE LISTEN TO ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AS IF IT WERE YOUR FAMILY AND TRY TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY OF YOUR CONSUMERS.

REAR BACKUP LAMP LIGHT BAR ASSEMBLY IS LEAKING WATER. WATER VISIBLY OBSERVED IN LIGHT BAR AND CAUSING LED'S TO FADE. HAD IT RESEALED BY DEALERSHIP CONTINUED TO LEAK AND NOW LIGHT BAR HAS COMPLETELY FAILED AND NO LONGER TURNS ON, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL DUE TO LICENSE PLATE LIGHT NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AS WELL. VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO GO IN FOR REPAIRS REGARDING A FAILED LIGHT BAR AND SAFETY ISSUE.

IT HAS BEEN RAINING AND THE LIGHTING SYSTEM HOUSING UNIT HAS FILLED WITH WATER. I HAD NOT USED THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL DAYS. I NOTICED IT IN A PARKING LOT.

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TRUNK LED LIGHTS. IT'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY WATER LEAKS INSIDE THE LIGHT AND IT'S CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO OUT. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT IS

BOUGHT A USED DURANGO 5 MONTHS AGO AT AN OFFICIAL DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. CAME BACK TO THE SAME CAR DEALERSHIP FOR A STATE INSPECTION TO FIND OUT THAT THEY FAILED US FOR A LEAKING STEERING GEAR/RACK, CHARGING US AN OVERPRICED COST OF $1900. COME TO FIND THROUGH ANOTHER MECHANIC SHOP THAT THIS WAS NOT WORTH A FAIL AND THAT IT WAS NOT IN NEED OF AN IMMEDIATE FIX. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP MADE US FEEL PRESSURED TO GET THIS FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THE 2014 DURANGO WITH ONLY 63000 MILES SHOULD NOT ALREADY HAVE AN ISSUE LIKE THIS.

THE REAR LIFTGATE "RACE TRACK" LIGHT ASSEMBLY BADLY COLLECTS WATER. I'M NOT TALKING CONDENSATION EITHER. AFTER A DAY OF STEADY RAIN IT ALMOST FILLS BOTH SIDES OF THE LIGHT. AFTER ONE CAR WASH IT HAS ABOUT AN INCH OF WATER IN IT. IT HAPPENS ANY DAY, ANY TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN EVER IT'S RAINING. I HAVE TO REMOVE THE TWO BOTTOM MOUNTING SCREWS TO DRAIN THE WATER OUT. MOST OF THE LEDS HAVE GONE OUT AND I SWEAR I HAVE SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM THE LIGHT ONCE OR TWICE. NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE LIGHT IS OVER $1,000 AND I HAVE THE EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH I HAVE FOUND DOES NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE ALL OVER THE WEB. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME FOR SOME REASON SOME PEOPLES WARRANTY COVERS IT AND MOST ARE REJECTED. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN SINCE WATER AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS USUALLY DONT GET ALONG. I'M WONDERING HOW MANY VEHICALS MUST CATCH FIRE FIRST BEFORE A COMPLAINT RECALL IS ISSUED? OR DO A FEW PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED FIRST? I PERSONALLY KNOW FOUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND ALL WHO FOLLOW BEHIND US. PLEASE READ A BIT ON ANY OF THE DURANGO FORUMS, MOPAR FORUMS, OR EVEN ON YOUR OWN DATABASE OF COMPLAINTS. I KNOW THERE ARE HUNDREDS ON THERE BECAUSE I READ THE FORUMS AND AM PUTTING IN A COMPLAINT. THE TWO PICTURES I'M ATTACHING ARE FROM ONE CAR WASH, JUST TEN MINTUES OF PERIODICALLY HAVING WATER RUN DOWN THE BACK OF THE CAR FILLED THAT MUCH. ITS UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU KNOW IT IS.....SO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

WATER LEAKING INTO RACETRACK TAILIGHTS ON REAR OF DURANGO. THEY SHORTED OUT NOW NOT WORKING 1K TO REPLACE!!!!

I PURCHASED A 2014 DODGE DURANGO ON NOV. 2017. I RETURNED THE CAR 2 DAYS LATER BECAUSE OF THE TAIL LIGHT HAD WATER IN IT AND THE PART OF IT WAS NOT WORKING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE REAR CAMERA AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AND WATER GOT IN THE TAIL LIGHT WHICH CAUSED IT TO FLICKER WHILE DRIVING. THE TAIL LIGHT EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER REFERRED ME TO A DODGE DEALER THAT EVENTUALLY REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT IN MARCH OF 2018. IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 2019 AND PART OF THE TAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING DUE TO WATER THAT SEEPED IN THE TAIL LIGHT. I'VE HAD THE TAIL LIGHT REPLACED TWICE IN LESS THAN 1 1/2 YRS OF OWNERSHIP AND NOW THE TAIL LIGHT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

THE CENTER PART OF MY REAR TAIL LIGHT KEEPS LETTING WATER GET INTO IT CAUSING THE LIGHT TO SHORT OUT AND HAS CAUSED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS IS AN ISSUE CAUSED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN CONDITIONS THAT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER BECAUSE OF A DEFAULT PART I.E. SNOW, CAR WAS, RAIN

WATER IS ENTERING INTO MY RACETRACK TAILLIGHT AND STAYING THERE AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF MY LIGHTING UNIT ANYTIME IT RAINS. THIS IS CAUSING MY LEFT LOWER RACETRACK LIGHTING TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. DEALERSHIP TRYING TO CHARGE OVER 1100 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT.
