2 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 11/21/2018

The lense on the center brake light (race track light), apparently has a defective gasket, allowing the brake lights to fill with water and cause them to go out. I only have 22,000 miles on this car, it's my baby! it will be awhile before I can fix this, as it will be over $1000 to repair. Ridiculous! safety doesn't seem to be much of a concern for Dodge.

3 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2018

The race track brake lighting on the back hatch has filled with water and failed safety inspection. There are no scrapes, scratches, or any indication that anything is damaged. There have been numerous complaints from other owners with similar lighting and the fix is over $1,000. I bought the car brand new and have contacted both the dealer and Dodge corporate who will not accept responsibility for an obvious defect/design flaw.
