Racetrack tail lights is not correctly sealed and water is coming inside, due to this the tail light had a shortcut and the dealership says the I have to replace the whole tail light and the rear camera, this is the second time I see water inside the racetrack
Rain/road way water gets into exterior racetrack tail light causing shortage resulting in the light starting to go out. This is a manufacturer issue. The cost of repairing is over $1000.
Rain water gets into rear tail lights and causes short in tail light. Light burns out and needs premature replacement due to leak from water. Due to safety issue with lights being burn out while driving in rainy conditions, especially at night, is a large safety issue which can result in accident. I do not want to be rear ended due to this safety issue, especially with my 1 year old daughter and wife in the vehicle..
The tail lights (commonly referred to as the 'race track tail lights) mounted on the exterior of the rear hatch constantly fill up with water which is burning out the lights. This is apparently a very common problem on these vehicles. This part should have been covered by the manufacturer. This happens any time it rains and in the seattle area that is very frequent.
Rear 'racetrack' lights has water in it, and a section of it has already faded out. Took to the dealer and of course not covered by my 'bumper to bumper' and the cost is $1300. I'm so irritated!

Ractrack light stop working rear tail light "racetrack light" burnout thanks to a water leek in to the light this is a manufactor defect the price to replace this light is more then $1,000 dollars
The center brake light on the rear hatch leaks water into the light assembly and causes damage to the led lights, which causes some of them to stop working.
The rear light in the center of the tailgate, commonly referred to as the "racetrack" light, is not sealed properly by the manufacturer and is susceptible to water and condensation building up inside of it - this can come from the vehicle parked in a driveway/parking spot during rain, driving down a wet road, or during a car wash. The result of extended water within the light is several burned out sections of leds on both sides of the "racetrack" were discovered while the vehicle was parked at night, preventing the full rear lights from illuminating.
Rear tail gate tail lights fill with water when exposed to rain or carwash. Light assembly contains no seal and no way to drain water or vent vapor. Collected water could cause a short disabling running lights, brake lights, license plate light or fire. This is a known manufacturing defect to Dodge yet no recall has been issued. Issue could affect safety and/or citation from law enforcement.
Water collecting inside racetrack led taillight causing taillight to not be operable. I do notice water pooling inside the light fixture every time it rains. I have to open the rear hatch and the water will slowly start to drop out.
The racetrack tail light will fill with water during a rain storm causing the rear running light to go out. This could pose a serious safety issue if the running lights go out at night. I started noticing this problem on or around 4/12019 and has progressively gotten worse. Doing research has lead me to several posts on the internet with others having this same issue. Here is just one of the many link talking about this problem. Https://www.dodgedurango.net/forums/Durango-discussions-2014/42937-poll-water-tail-light-2014-A-26.html
Rear race track light water inside and led light out. Can not get sticker. Moisture in license plate light have had to replace three times. Can not get sticker.
The design of the 'racetrack' style taillight assembly allows water and water condensation to accumulate within the assembly. This has been replaced under parts warranty for my vehicle 3 times. If these taillights are not warrantied the cost to replace is prohibitive, resulting in many vehicles with reduced rear light visibility.
There is water in the rear tail light race rack. Must be a seal issue since the is no damage to the tail lights. Hopefully the lights don't go out before it is fixed.
Water leaked in and accumulated inside the rear "racetrack" led taillight assembly, causing failure to led lights on the driver side of the assembly. The design of this assembly is clearly flawed due to thousands of reports of this happening. Dodge quoted my $1100 for the replacement part. Absolutely ridiculous.
Led light on one side of the lift gate is out possibly due to water inside of the tail light need answers. Looks like there are many complaints about this problem.
The tail running light is out, after looking at the affected area, this is due to water being inside the lighting area. We have seen other complaints about this in other Durango's. Dodge wants to charge us to replace this. This seems to be a defect and we are not willing to pay for such a repair. Water inside a running light is clearly not the consumers fault.
