The rear deck lid tail lights fill with water eventually shorting out the lights and impacting the ability for other drivers to see the vehicle from the rear.

This appears to be a known issue that fca Dodge appears to be ignoring. The only solution offered is to replace the component with another which includes the backup camera for $1000.

The liftgate tail light assembly allows water to seep inside, pooling in the lighting assembly. This led to the rear lights shorting out and failing completely.

The led back tail lights are not properly sealed, so water can leak into them and short out the lights, and cause electrical shortage.

This is a safety concern that may cause even further damage to the vehicle's electrical system and lights that are needed for safety reasons.

When it rains, water collects inside the racetrack tail lights of my 2014 Durango. The problem exist on the rear of the part. The sponge-like gasket is disintegrating. I got it replaced at the dealer for 1,000 $ about 4 months ago, I got water again in the new ones. The led's are not working anymore when I turn on the lights on.

Driving at night, car passes me and aggressively honked/pointed behind me. Pulled over and noticed my rear lights were completely out. Messed with the light switch to see if it made a difference, it did not. Next day I see water pooled on both sides of the tailgate lighting assembly. Did research and learned to remove bolts to drain water from the assembly. Some functionality returned but right lower side remains out.

2014 Dodge Durango tail light assembly not properly sealed when manufactured and allows water to enter and ruin circuit board for led tail lights.

There are literally thousands of people online with same issue.
