DODGE Complaints

WATER EASILY FILLS THE BACK TAIL LIGHT AND STARTS TO CRACK. THE LIGHTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO POINT TO PAY THE MONEY TO REPLACE SINCE IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO ALSO GET WATER IN THEM. THE LIGHTBULBS BURN OUT QUICKLY AND NEED TO BE REPLACED THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

THE REAR HATCH TAILLIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY, ALSO KNOWN AS THE "RACE TRACK" LIGHT, COLLECTS WATER SOMEHOW INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY. I HAVE FOUND WATER INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY AFTER ANY VOLUME OF RAIN, BE IT A DRIZZLE OR A DOWNPOUR, AND AFTER ANY LENGTH OF CARWASHING. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A SMALL BIT OF WATER EITHER. DUE TO THE WATER ACCUMULATION IN THE ASSEMBLY, PART OF THE LED ASSEMBLY HAS NOW GONE DARK. DUE TO THE SHAPE OF THE LIGHT THE WATER ACCUMULATES IN THE BOTTOM CORNERS OF THE LIGHT AND JUST SITS THERE UNTIL A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY COMES ALONG TO EVAPORATE THE WATER. WHICH STILL LEAVES A LARGE AMOUNT OF CONDENSATION INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY. SO IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY GOES DARK AND QUITS WORKING, THAT'S THE BEST CASE SCENARIO. I HAVE READ ON EVERY MOPAR, DODGE, AND DURANGO SPECIFIC COMMUNITY FORUMS AND MESSAGE BOARDS THAT THIS IS NOT A ONE OFF ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT 90% OF DURANGO'S WITH THIS LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WITH SOME CASES REPORTING VISIBLE SMOKE COMING FROM THE ASSEMBLY DUE TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE FROM EXTENDED WATER DAMAGE, COMPLETE LIGHT FAILURE, AND MANY OTHER ISSUES CAUSED BY SHOTTY MANUFACTURING. TO HAVE THE ASSEMBLY REPLACED IS NO CHEAP VENTURE. THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ALONE RUNS AROUND $500 OR MORE, DEPENDING ON THE CONDITION, PLUS I'M FIGURING ANOTHER $300 TO $600 IN LABOR COST ON TOP OF THE PART COST. NONE OF THIS WORK IS COVERED UNDER ANY OF MOPAR, DODGE, OR CHRYSLER WARRANTIES. EVEN THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I PAID ROUGHLY $4,000 FOR. THIS SITUATION HAS NUMEROUS SAFTEY CONCERNS FROM NO VISIBILITY AT NIGHT FOR THE DRIVER'S BEHIND TO A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD WITH ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT CONSTANTLY IN WATER. I HOPE THIS ISSUE IS REMEDIED BEFORE MY VEHICAL OR ANYONE ELSE'S VEHICAL HAS MELTING TAILLIGHTS OR ANOTHER VEHICAL WEDGED IN THE REAR FROM MY REAR LIGHTS BURNING OUT. PLEASE RESEARCH ALL THE FORUMS OUT THERE.

WE HAVE OWNED OUR 2013 DODGE DURANGO SINCE IT HAD 30 MILES ON IT. IT HAS 60,000+ MILES ON IT AND FOR THE LAST YEAR IT HAS FAILED TO START ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. WE TOOK IT TO THE CERRITOS DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE 2 THINGS. ONE IS $900+ AND THE OTHER IS $1200+ TO FIX IT. WHY SHOULD WE PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT COMES FAULTY FROM THE MANUFACTURER? THIS IS NOT OIL OR A FILTER THAT NEEDS CHANGING EVERY FEW MONTHS. AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT AT SUCH AN EARLY RATE PLUS BE SO EXPENSIVE. MY BRPTHER BOUGHT THE SAME TRUCK A FEW MONTHS BEFORE US AND IT HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND THEN SOME. THEIR TRUCK ACTUALLY STALLED ON THEM WHILE ON THE STREET. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START FOR OVER AN HOUR. THEY HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME. THE NEXT DAY WHEN THEY WOKE UP IT STARTED LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. WHEN THEY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SAME DAY THEY TESTED EVERYTHING AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. NOW WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE? WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR FAULTY MANUFACTURER PARTS? CHRYSLER/DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL. LETS NOT WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE FROM THESE FAULTY PARTS.
