Bought my Durango couple months ago and the center taillight stopped working and found out it is full of water and when I went to dealership the said they sell so many that they are on back order and price was $1200. 00 so after reading some forums I realize this is a very common problem and don't understand why the manufacturer is not replacing them as a recall when they know that this is a huge problem.
The rear center tail light, or track light, was poorly designed and it allows water to get trapped inside and sit, resulting in the lights burning out. This single light assembly consists of a brake light that is the width of the rear hatch, a backup camera, and reverse lights. The only way to fix this problem is to replace the entire light assembly which costs over $1,000. This is a very widespread problem with Dodge Durangos based on the vast number of complaints for this specific issue, and I am surprised that this is not a recall considering the number of complaints associated with this problem. As you can see from the picture that I have attached, the bottom lights on both sides no longer work because of the sitting water inside. I tried to get this problem fixed, being that it is a manufacturer defect, but Dodge is unwilling to help me because my 2017 Durango is just out of warranty. I would greatly appreciate help with this problem. Thank you.
Water pooling inside the racetrack taillights, decklid area. Lights seem to not be waterproof or watertight.
My left turning signal kept going out and coming back on. Then I noticed it was effecting the head lights. It seem like something is loose because sometimes if I hit a bomp they start working normal again. Now both head lights are out and the bulbs are fine.
Driver side head lamp repeatedly fails and burns out affection night time driving visibility. When each and every bulb is replaced it has burned terminals causing light bulb to short out. Not only is this expensive to replace every 3 to 4 weeks, it is unsafe to operate the vehicle with low visibility at night. It also, makes my vehicle less visible to oncoming drivers. In addition, it is causing undo distress being constantly pulled over by law enforcement and being either fined or warned for driving illegally with one head lamp I have seen on you tube and other outlets on line that this is a typical problem for this make and model of vehicle.
Water collected in the rear light bar housing causing the lights on each lower corner of the housing to burn out.
I noticed water getting into the middle led race track lighting. The middle led light is already out because of this. I believe the housing is a factory defect, my truck only has 40,000 and this is already happening. Extended warrenty wont cover this because of "condensation. ".
Water pooling in taillights causing corrosion to led's and burning them out - can lead to short circuit and possible fire.

I did my own investigation and I found out that almost every Dodge Durango 2017 has a problem on the left front turn light switch. It is an electrical problem, it doesn't matter if you change the bulb several times.
Deer was struck by vehicle while traveling about 50 miles per hour on a city road. Severe damage to front driver side to include undercarriage and electrical parts. Air bags did not deploy and I feel like they should have. I was informed by the tow truck driver that the airbag sensors were destroyed and the bag should have gone off.
This description of the incident has happened numerous times. When the vehicle is stationary I go to the rear of the vehicle and open up the back hatch. Once it is open on several occasions I have cut my upper arm/forearm at the point where the rear taillights are separated. I have felt the area and had family and friends do the same. They all agree it is very sharp and hazardous.

The rear race track light has had water in it for months and has now shorted out part of the light. When I bought the vehicle used they said that was normal and will drain on it's own. Now that the warrenty is up they will not cover it.
On my 2017 Dodge Durango rt at 37,000 miles I noticed when raining water enters the center racing lights (specifically on the right side) and pools inside shorting the lights so they don't work anymore. Condensation collects in several areas because of the pooling water.
