60,000 mile garage kept Durango with P0455 (evap purge hose crack) check engine light. Warranty is out (so much for my extended warranty- wont cover) and dealership wont repair without charging me. There are numerous tsb 25-002-15 regarding this problem. Issue a recall.. rear taillights all leak water. Moisture and water is visible and the car hasn't been wet in some time. My complaint matches the others out there. Facory lights leaking causing damage to the lighting aspect and safety of my vehicle and other around me. Dealership wont replace, warranty wont cover. Pricing is absurdly high to replace. This is a safety issue and a recall need to issued. I bought this vehicle in good faith that Dodge and warranty people would take care of issues that are manufacturer related. Not so!!
27,300 miles and I have water pooling inside my led tracks of my tail lights. This is potentially going to cause the lights to short out and possibly blow fuses. This needs to be remedied by manufacturer being this is a very common issue
Water pools up in tail lights every time it rains, causes tail light to appear 'burned out' light appears to go our due to water in tail light. Could cause electrical problems or crash.
Tailgate center race track lighting completely out. Water gets in both sides of the center light and now just yesterday the entire assembly went out and does not illuminate at all.

Rear twilight which was replaced once (9/17) as a 'goodwill outside of warranty ' replacement is leaking again and will not pass state inspection. Dealership and warranty company both refusing to replace again.
Water and moisture get into the rear light strip and causes led light failure. You cant fix the problem, just buy a new light assembly at $1000 and pray that doesnt get water in that one. Problem causes vehicle to fail inspection and poses a huge safety problem.
In March of 2019 a policeman in my hometown stopped me and told me my taillight on my 2015 Dodge Durango was out. On further examination the policeman and I discovered that part of my tail light was not lit up and that my tail light has water in it. We can see the moisture and the water line. I took it to the service department where I bought vehicle. They examined my vehicle and told me that it was a bad design and that water was indeed in my taillight. They further told me that the extended warranty that I purchased when I bought vehicle would not cover it because it was water intrusion. They said it would cost $1,300 approx. To replace taillight. Ive been researching for the last 3 weeks and found a forum that had 100's of complaints on 2015 Dodge Durangos that have the same issue that I have. One complaint even stated that while she drove her car she could smell burning. I'm very concerned that this could indeed start a fire. I have my grandchildren with me 75% of the time when I am driving this vehicle that in itself is very distressing for me.
Water is filling up in the bottom of the race track lights in the rear. This is apparently a common defect in the design of the casing that a lot of people are having.
Center rear tail light assembly has short on right side. Several led bulbs no longer light up affecting vehicle visibility. There is no visible damage to the lens.
Rain water getting into taillight assembly causing water to pool inside light and cause leds to short and no longer illuminate. And the cost to replace the assembly is over $1000.
Brought my 2015 Dodge Durango in for a state inspection. Was told that there was a computer error message stating "liftgate park lamp short". the service person stated that there was water in the light, and that I would need to have it replaced to pass inspection for roughly $1200. When asked how the water got in, he did not know. Because water was the cause of the short, it was not covered by the maximum care vehicle protection warranty that I purchased when I bought the car. When I googled the problem, I saw that many others were having the same issues and were completing this form to have NHTSA look into the problem with water leaking into the light.
39,000 miles. Left front turn signal with corrosion on bulb causing it not to function. Multiple led bulbs burned out and replaced. Now rear tail light assembly leds burning out. All very early in life of the vehicle.
I recently noticed still water inside my rear center tail lamp on the lift gate while parked before leaving home, that wouldn't leave, as a result of this a portion of the lamp had went out and no longer worked, eventually the entire lamp stopped working now causing a safety concern as I am now less visible to those behind me and causing me to be ticketed several times from law enforcement because of the lamp being out which is now turning this into a $2000 plus problem. I have done my research and have learned that thousands of other Durango owners from 2014 and 2015 are having this same issue and this needs to be a recalled part. I also have younger siblings that use my truck from time to time to travel to work and school and a grandmother who drives my vehicle at times and I can no longer let them drive my vehicle because I don't want them to destroy their driving record with constant tickets because of the lamp being out nor my grandmother or possibly getting into an accident due to the difficulty of being seen from behind now
Center rear tail light assembly collects water and shorts out. Bulbs no longer light up affecting vehicle visibility. There is no visible damage to the lense.
The rear "racetrack" tail lamp which spans the liftgate fills with water. This is the second tail lamp assembly on my vehicle. The first one was replaced by Dodge under warranty. Less than 1 year later, the replacement is also leaking. Several reports of water in the lens causing ultimate failure of the electronics and the lamp.
Rear hatch tail light got water inside of it. Rain water. Poor seal. Now part of light is not working. The dealership quoted approximately $1200 to replace. Another $200 labor. Can't just replace a bulb. Have to replace the whole assembly. I am learning this is a common issue with Durango's that have this light. This is a manufacture flaw with these light assemblies. They should be recalled!
