Rear tail light failure with low mileage on vehicle. Running and brake lights stop working. Likely due to water intrusion causing short in electrical system.
Alternator recall was not completed by Dodge service but was documented that it was changed and later gave issues that could have been very dangerous. Details are in file attached
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.

Back brake light bar holding water. Burned out a section of lights. Found it stationary. I have seen a lot of complains about this. Recall should be initiated!
I purchased a 2014 Dodge Durango 6 months ago and have had multiple issues, all issues that I have found to be all to common by searching the issue online. The following issues have occurred with my vehicle along with many other similar customers have experienced: Rear hatch tail light leaking water, ground wire under hood corrodes and brakes off, rear suspension makes wobbling noise when going over bumps, and rear climate control does not heat properly. These issues are very serious and need to be addressed and recalled by the manufacturer before serious injury occurs.
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. While attempting to enter the vehicle, the door failed to unlock. The contact stated that the key fob was in close proximity to the door, but it failed to unlock. The contact informed the police of the failure and a crowbar had to be used to open the door. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
Led racetrack lighting on rear hatch has water in lens and is causing the lighting to malfunction. This poses a visability hazard. The vehicle is garage kept and has never been in an accident. There are no obvious cracks or damage to light lens. This is a dangerous problem and very common as I am finding out.
Condensation was seen forming on inside of lift gate tail light. The next day, water was found pooling inside lift gate tail light assembly. Two days later, the tail light adjacent to the pooled water went out. The vehicle was parked outside and stationary at the time of discovery.
The light is not sealed properly therefore water has gotten into the bottom of my center led light on the tail gate. It has caused both lights on each side to go out. I am worried that this could possibly cause an electrical fire while driving or just in general when the car is on. My back up camera also has some issues at times and I wonder if water getting into the light has anything to do with this.
Rear lift gate tailight has water in it for the second time in two years. The entire light assembly was replaced in Dec 2016 and here is is just over a year later and the replacement light that was replaced by a certified Dodge dealer and the gasket has failed again.
The center lighting panel on the lift gate of the vehicle, is taking on water which can and will damage the led lighting, and could also generate an electrical shortage or in the worst case scenario generate an electrical fire.
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. The contact experienced several failures within less than two weeks of owning the vehicle. There was an abnormal noise progressing from the electric control panel on the driver's side door area, the instrument cluster shorted out, various warning gauges illuminated, the emblem fractured from the front area of the vehicle, and the radio failed to function. The vehicle was not inspected by an independent mechanic. Uconnect was contacted pertaining to the failures and indicated that the previous owner reported the same failures. Uconnect suggested that a dealer be contacted. The dealer (stevens creek Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, 4100 stevens creek blvd, san jose, ca 95129, (408) 248-1800) was contacted. In addition, dark smoke emitted from the tail pipe. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
I've notice that when I'm driving on highways or around the city, wipers come on by itself. That happen twice... sometimes the sunroof don't open, when the sunroof opens don't want to close sometimes. When I'm on the highway can't seem to get enough power to catch up with traffic, seems like the transmission is about to give out. Very laggy....the notification for engine/trans comes off/on at times. Other to sound weird but I believe someone has access remotely to vehicle. All this happens on a daily or every few days I've noticed.
