2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TAIL LIGHT IS TAKING UP WATER AND CONDENSATION THAT IS MOSTLY POOLING ALONG THE DRIVER SIDE. BOTTOM LIGHTS IN TURN HAVE SHORTED OUT.

LED RACETRACK LIGHTING ON REAR HATCH HAS WATER IN LENS AND IS CAUSING THE LIGHTING TO MALFUNCTION. THIS POSES A VISABILITY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS CRACKS OR DAMAGE TO LIGHT LENS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND VERY COMMON AS I AM FINDING OUT.

CONDENSATION WAS SEEN FORMING ON INSIDE OF LIFT GATE TAIL LIGHT. THE NEXT DAY, WATER WAS FOUND POOLING INSIDE LIFT GATE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. TWO DAYS LATER, THE TAIL LIGHT ADJACENT TO THE POOLED WATER WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE AND STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY.

THE REAR CENTER "RACETRACK' LIGHTS ARE TAKING ON LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. THE LEFT LOWER SIDE OF THE LIGHT PANEL IS NOW INOPERABLE AND LEAVES A DARK SPOT WHERE IT SHOULD BE ILLUMINATED. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BURN OUT LIGHTS AND EVENTUALLY MAKE THE REAR LIGHTING INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NO DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR.

PART # 68105583AF WAS LEAKING ENGINE OIL. THE OIL WAS COLLECTING BETWEEN THE HEADS. DEALER REPLACE THE PART BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IMFORMATION FROM DODGE IF THE PART HAS BEEN REDESIGNED OIL COLLECTING BETWEEN THE HEADS COULD CAUSE A FIRE THE OIL LEAKS WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING

2014 DODGE DURANGO LED REAR CENTER HATCH TAIL LIGHT. PART #MOPAR 68155950AJ. PLASTIC LIGHT ON HATCH, CRACKED OPEN, ALL THE WAY THROUGH TAIL LIGHT, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NOW SECOND CRACK HAS BEGUN AN INCH TO THE LEFT OF FIRST CRACK, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH YET. FIRST CRACK IS WIDE AND ALLOWS WATER IN WHEN IT RAINS, AND WHEN VEHICLE IS WASHED. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER, AS I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW. THIS IS A GARAGED VEHICLE. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY CONCERN, AS WATER IN TAIL LIGHT, CAUSES LED TAIL LIGHT TO FAIL. I REPORTED FACTORY ISSUE WITH TAIL LIGHT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID IT IS AN ISSUE, BUT NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY, AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS. UPON RESEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND THIS ISSUE TO BE WIDESPREAD WITH ALL 2014 AND NEWER DODGE DURANGO MODELS. THIS FACTORY DEFAULT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CENTER LED TAIL LIGHT, AND REDUCE VISIBILITY TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. ACCIDENTS MAY BE THE RESULT OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT. IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN THESE TWO CRACKS ORIGINALLY OCCURRED, AS THEY ARE NOT FULLY NOTICEABLE UPON A QUICK LOOK OR GLANCE. THE ONLY REASON I FOUND OUT THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS CRACKED, WAS I NOTICED IT HAD AN INCH OF WATER INSIDE TAIL LIGHT.

2014 DODGE DURANGO RT WATER GETTING IN TAIL LIGHTS. TAIL LIGHTS GOT ABOUT HALF FULL OF WATER DURING 2 DAYS OF RAIN. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. WATER WOULD SLOWLY DRAIN OUT WHEN BACK HATCH WAS OPENED.

THE LIGHT IS NOT SEALED PROPERLY THEREFORE WATER HAS GOTTEN INTO THE BOTTOM OF MY CENTER LED LIGHT ON THE TAIL GATE. IT HAS CAUSED BOTH LIGHTS ON EACH SIDE TO GO OUT. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE WHILE DRIVING OR JUST IN GENERAL WHEN THE CAR IS ON. MY BACK UP CAMERA ALSO HAS SOME ISSUES AT TIMES AND I WONDER IF WATER GETTING INTO THE LIGHT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

REAR LIFT GATE TAILIGHT HAS WATER IN IT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS. THE ENTIRE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED IN DEC 2016 AND HERE IS IS JUST OVER A YEAR LATER AND THE REPLACEMENT LIGHT THAT WAS REPLACED BY A CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER AND THE GASKET HAS FAILED AGAIN.

THE LIGHT ON THE REAR HATCH FILLS UP WITH MOISTURE AND THE LEDS THAT PROVIDE THE LIGHT SOURCE ARE BLOWING OUT.
