1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/28/2019

Just purchased a 2014 Dodge Durango limited. Had it one week and a portion of the race track lighting on the rear of the vehicle has went out. It appears water has gotten into the lighting housing. This appears to be a major issue with that lighting system, as complaints are all over the internet about it. Problem now is eventually it will short out the entire backend lights including the running lights and brake lights creating a major safety issue. To replace the part is over $1,000 which makes it difficult for the consumer to fix. Its not acceptable that this part is failing so quickly on Dodge products with that style lighting and isn't an affordable fix. I am concerned driving my vehicle since I have no idea when it will completely short out. Dodge should fix the problem that is causing the lighting to accumulate water and short out. A few defective lights is understandable but the amount of people complaining about having the same problems shows it really needs recalled.

Race track lighting and tailgate has condensation building up and water standing in it. This is the second time it has happened. First time was covered under warranty and this one is not.

Water has entered the "racetrack" lighting assembly on the rear liftgate causng parts of it to not function.

4 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

Water collecting on both sides of the race track tail lights on my 2014 Dodge Durango.

5 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2017

The rear sensor beeps non stop even though there is nothing behind it. I took it to the dealer and they said that they couldn't diagnose it even though I sent them a video to show them what I had been dealing with. I have also been dealing with the key fob, every time I go to lock my car it beeps once to lock and after the first beep it beeps 3 times and then unlocks my car. When the car is on and I go to open the driver side door, even with the key in the car, the car beeps and tells me the key fob is not in the vehicle. The race track light was beginning to fog up and with time we started to notice that it was filling up with moisture. It filled up to about and 1" and we managed to release the water but part of the race track light is burned out now. I still have the warranty but the dealer said that those lights are not covered and the pricing would range from $1000-$1200 to fix.
