2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

MY LED LIGHT BAR AT REAR OF TRUCK IS TAKING ON WATER AND SHORTING THE LIGHT. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

THE TAIL LIGHTS ON THIS CAR KEEP GOING OUT BECAUSE THEY FILL UP WITH WATER. THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS GO OUT OFTEN AS WELL DUE TO WATER FILLING UP. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE BOTTOM LEFT STARTING TO GO OUT AND NOW THE WHOLE LIGHT AND BOTH LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS ARE OUT A FEW DAYS LATER. THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED A YEAR AGO AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP

REAR LED RACEWAY TAILLIGHT FILL UP WITH WATER. PART OF THE LIGHT IS DIM AND CANNOT BE SEEN

REAR RUNNING TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS NOT WATERPROOF, THIS ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE LED RUNNING LIGHTS. NOW THE RUNNING LIGHTS ARE STARTING TO BURN OUT AND ARE NOT LIT PROPERLY. THIS MAKES IT UNSAFE THE VEHICLE LESS VISIBLE AND UNSAFE FOR TRAVELS.

WATER HAS POOLED UP IN THE REAR TRACK LIGHT AND SHORTED OUT THE LIGHTS IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA INCLUDING MY LICENSE PLATE LIGHT. AT ONE POINT THE WHOLE LED STRIP WENT OUT ON THE LIFT GATE. I DIDN'T KNOW IT HAPPENED UNTIL I SMELT A STRONG ELECTRICAL FIRE SMOKE SCENT AND STARTED LOOKING AROUND TO FIND THE SOURCE. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THERE ISN'T A CRACK BUT THE WATER IS GETTING IN AND THIS IS BECOMING A KNOW ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES.

REAR CENTER RACETRACK LED TAILLIGHT IS CRACKED FROM FACTORY. IT IS HOLDING RAIN WATER AND SEVERAL LED BULBS BURNT OUT AND BACKUP CAMERA QUIT WORKING. TO FIX YOU NEED TO PURCHASE THE COMPLETE UNIT WHICH IS NON SERVICEABLE ONLY REPLACE FOR $1000.00 PLUS DOLLARS .THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I FOUND OUT FOR THE 14 AND 15 MODEL YEARS.

I OWN A 2014 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS WATER POOLING IN THE CENTER TAIL LIGHT. I HAD IT REPLACED 1 YEAR AGO AND THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. STARTED COLLECTING WATER AND SHORTED OUT. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE PART COSTING ABOUT $1,000. CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THE COSTS OR ADMIT IT IS A QUALITY ISSUE, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE ON BACKORDER AND HARD TO GET. SEAMS LIKE THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM.

THE CENTER LIGHTING PANEL ON THE LIFT GATE OF THE VEHICLE, IS TAKING ON WATER WHICH CAN AND WILL DAMAGE THE LED LIGHTING, AND COULD ALSO GENERATE AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE OR IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO GENERATE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE.

WHEN I REMOTE STARTED MY VEHICLE. I CAME OUTSIDE TO SMOKE ROLLING OUT OF MY BACK HATCH AREA. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATING THE RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT HAD CAUGHT FIRE.

MY RACETRACK TAIL LAMP IS FILLED WITH WATER AND THE LIGHTS ARE STARTING TO NOT WORK
