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!

The center led light on my Durango somehow has water in it; the water originally caused a short on one side that dimmed the light. I first noticed December 2018 when a motorist stopped me after taking a picture. As of January 21, 2019 the light has completely went out due to the water damage. This has to be some sort of manufacturer defect as I am not sure where the water is entering in. On the 21st I was pulled over by a police officer because he said the flicking could potentially cause an accident. Luckily I was left off with a warning. Per westgate Dodge here in indy the fix will cost more than $1300 to correct. I have provided

The rear tail light assembly, middle portion, has collected water inside of it which comes in contact with the tail light led's inside causing them to short to ground. They blink/flash erratically but most of the time are not on. Also the license plate lights are affected by this and are not working either. Even after loosening the assembly and draining the water condensation can still be seen inside.
The lense on the center brake light (race track light), apparently has a defective gasket, allowing the brake lights to fill with water and cause them to go out.
