2014 Dodge Durango complaints

CHEXK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS. GOT IT SCANNED AND THE CODE THE COMES UP IS A P052 - FAULTY OUL PRESSURE SENSOR. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OTHER MODELS EFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE BUT ONLY CERTAIN ONES ARE BEING REPAIRED WITHOUT COST TO CUSTOMER. ON MY DASH THE OIL PREASURE READS AT 85%-100% AT IDLE AND STAYS AT 100% WHEN GIVING IT GAS.

DRIVER HEADREST DEPLOYED BY ITSELF WITH NO REASON, STARTING THE VEHICLE HEADREST DEPLOYED

ROCKER ARM TICKING NOISE 3.6L V6. I BELIEVE THE SAME RECALL THAT WAS PUT INTO EFFECT FOR 2011 TO 2013 3.6 ENGINES BY DODGE SHOULD APPLY TO OTHER YEARS WITH THIS ENGINE. I'VE READ THAT THE 2014 ENGINE IS THE SAME AS 2011 TO 2013.

WATER IS COLLECTING IN THE LEFT SIDE OF MY RACETRACK LIGHT ON MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE DEALERSHIP AND DODGE AS A WHOLE HAS CONTINUED TO BLOW ME OFF FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A NATIONALLY KNOWN DEFECT.

WATER GETTING INTO THE REAR HATCH LIGHT [BAR] ON LIFT GATE, CAUSING THE L.E.D. LIGHT TO BURN OUT. SEEMS TO BE NOT SEALED PROPERLY FROM FACTORY. WHETHER IT IS SITTING, OR MOBILE, THE WATER STILL GETS INTO THE ASSEMBLY.

REAR LIGHTING WILL ACCUMULATE MOISTURE INSIDE HOUSING EVENTUALLY BURNING OUT LED ELEMENTS. THIS RESULTS IN DRIVERS BEING UNABLE TO SEE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR AS WELL AS CITATIONS FOR NONFUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT.

I PURCHASED MY DODGE DURANGO BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT. IT IS CURRENTLY IN GREAT CONDITION EXCEPT THAT I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE ON 3/9/19. IT SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL MY WIFE DROVE IT TO WORK THE FOLLOWING MONDAY MORNING. ON HER WAY HOME FROM WORK SHE STARTED TO SMELL AN OVERWHELMING BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. I DROVE IT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE OIL CHANGE TOOK PLACE AND THEY OUTRIGHT LIED TO ME TELLING ME IT WAS A PLASTIC BAG BURNING ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEY COULD NOT PROVE IT WHEN I ASKED THEM TO SHOW ME. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR THIS TUESDAY. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS HAD THE ISSUE AND THE INTERNET IS FULL OF THESE VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I NOTICED THAT IN A FE INSTANCES THE ISSUE WAS DUD TO A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR. WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER IN THE NHTSA SITE, IT DOES NOT COME UP AS A VEHICLE THAT NEEDS THE RECALL COMPLETED. WHY WOULD MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO BE PART OF THAT RECALL? VIN [XXX] AND ALSO IF THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE WHY WOULD I AND SO MANY OTHERS HAVE THE ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

REAR RACE TRACK LIGHTING HAS WATER ACCUMULATING IN THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE ENTIRE LIGHT BAR TO SHORT OUT. THIS HAS CAUSED THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS TO STOP WORKING AS WELL WHICH ARE REQUIRED BY STATE LAW. ESTIMATE TO REPLACE BY DEALER IS $1600

TAKATA RECALL STANDING WATER AND BUGS ARE INSIDE MY REAR LIGHT BAR ON MY TRUCK. FROM RAIN WATER AND NOW MY LIGHT ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN THE REAR IS OUT.

HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE. DRIVING ON LOW SETTING BEAMS FALL JUST IN FRONT OF BUMPER. ON HIGH BEAMS AIMED AT HIGH TREES.

THE FRONT PASSENGER HEAD REST SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY POPPED OPEN WHILE IN MOTION ON A STRAIGHT, SMOOTH, CITY STREET WITHOUT ANY OUTSIDE FORCE BEING APPLIED TO IT. IF ANYONE HAD BEEN SITTING THERE, IT WOULD HAVE JOLTED THE PERSON'S HEAD FORWARD. I WORRY THAT THIS WILL ALSO HAPPEN TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE AT SOME POINT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

RAIN GETS IN THE TAIL LIGHT AND PORTIONS OF THE LIGHT DO NOT LIGHT. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS. IT IS A $1200.00 AND IT HAS HAPPEN AGAIN TO MINE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHEN IT HAPPENS. I CAN SEE THE WATER INSIDE TAIL LIGHT.

WATER INSIDE REAR TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY FROM RAIN.

REAR TAILLIGHTS (REFERRED TO AS RACETRACK LIGHTS) HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE FOR LEAKING AND BURNING OUT. THE REPLACEMENT LIGHTING IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, FILLING WITH RAIN WATER, AND BURNING OUT THE LED LIGHTS

LED LIGHTING BAR ON TAILGATE SHOWED SIGNS OF MOISTURE, AND THEN LIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY, INCLUDING THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, WATCHED LIGHTS FLICKER, THEN GO OUT WHEN CAR WAS AUTO STARTED.

DRIVING ON A 45MPH CITY ROAD. I WAS A PASSENGER, HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND FELT SOMETHING HIT ME IN BACK OF HEAD. THOUGHT WE WERE HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BUT WE WERE NOT, WE WERE STILL DRIVING AT SAME SPEED. MY HEADREST HAD EJECTED FOR NO REASON AND HIT ME ON BACK OF HEAD AND NECK.

REAR BACKUP LAMP LIGHT BAR ASSEMBLY IS LEAKING WATER. WATER VISIBLY OBSERVED IN LIGHT BAR AND CAUSING LED'S TO FADE. HAD IT RESEALED BY DEALERSHIP CONTINUED TO LEAK AND NOW LIGHT BAR HAS COMPLETELY FAILED AND NO LONGER TURNS ON, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL DUE TO LICENSE PLATE LIGHT NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AS WELL. VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO GO IN FOR REPAIRS REGARDING A FAILED LIGHT BAR AND SAFETY ISSUE.

FIRST ISSUE IS BACK RACETRACK LENSES IS FULL OF WATER CAUSING BULBS TO BLOW OUT.SECONDLY,AND MOST SCAREY WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH AND CAR STARTS MAKING LOUD NOISES ON DASH(THAT ALONE SCAREY ENOUGH TO CREATE A CRASH)BUT THE LOOSES POWER AND BARELY CAN STEER VEHICLE TO SIDE OF RT.27,THEN STARTED BACK UP.I AM A SINGLE MOM OF 2 BOYS,(ONE WHICH I RELY ON THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT TO MANY DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS.)LAST THING I NEED IS A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.PLEASE LISTEN TO ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AS IF IT WERE YOUR FAMILY AND TRY TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY OF YOUR CONSUMERS.

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TRUNK LED LIGHTS. IT'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY WATER LEAKS INSIDE THE LIGHT AND IT'S CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO OUT. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT IS

IT HAS BEEN RAINING AND THE LIGHTING SYSTEM HOUSING UNIT HAS FILLED WITH WATER. I HAD NOT USED THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL DAYS. I NOTICED IT IN A PARKING LOT.

BOUGHT A USED DURANGO 5 MONTHS AGO AT AN OFFICIAL DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. CAME BACK TO THE SAME CAR DEALERSHIP FOR A STATE INSPECTION TO FIND OUT THAT THEY FAILED US FOR A LEAKING STEERING GEAR/RACK, CHARGING US AN OVERPRICED COST OF $1900. COME TO FIND THROUGH ANOTHER MECHANIC SHOP THAT THIS WAS NOT WORTH A FAIL AND THAT IT WAS NOT IN NEED OF AN IMMEDIATE FIX. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP MADE US FEEL PRESSURED TO GET THIS FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THE 2014 DURANGO WITH ONLY 63000 MILES SHOULD NOT ALREADY HAVE AN ISSUE LIKE THIS.

THE REAR LIFTGATE "RACE TRACK" LIGHT ASSEMBLY BADLY COLLECTS WATER. I'M NOT TALKING CONDENSATION EITHER. AFTER A DAY OF STEADY RAIN IT ALMOST FILLS BOTH SIDES OF THE LIGHT. AFTER ONE CAR WASH IT HAS ABOUT AN INCH OF WATER IN IT. IT HAPPENS ANY DAY, ANY TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN EVER IT'S RAINING. I HAVE TO REMOVE THE TWO BOTTOM MOUNTING SCREWS TO DRAIN THE WATER OUT. MOST OF THE LEDS HAVE GONE OUT AND I SWEAR I HAVE SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM THE LIGHT ONCE OR TWICE. NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE LIGHT IS OVER $1,000 AND I HAVE THE EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH I HAVE FOUND DOES NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE ALL OVER THE WEB. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME FOR SOME REASON SOME PEOPLES WARRANTY COVERS IT AND MOST ARE REJECTED. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN SINCE WATER AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS USUALLY DONT GET ALONG. I'M WONDERING HOW MANY VEHICALS MUST CATCH FIRE FIRST BEFORE A COMPLAINT RECALL IS ISSUED? OR DO A FEW PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED FIRST? I PERSONALLY KNOW FOUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND ALL WHO FOLLOW BEHIND US. PLEASE READ A BIT ON ANY OF THE DURANGO FORUMS, MOPAR FORUMS, OR EVEN ON YOUR OWN DATABASE OF COMPLAINTS. I KNOW THERE ARE HUNDREDS ON THERE BECAUSE I READ THE FORUMS AND AM PUTTING IN A COMPLAINT. THE TWO PICTURES I'M ATTACHING ARE FROM ONE CAR WASH, JUST TEN MINTUES OF PERIODICALLY HAVING WATER RUN DOWN THE BACK OF THE CAR FILLED THAT MUCH. ITS UNACCEPTABL

WATER LEAKING INTO RACETRACK TAILIGHTS ON REAR OF DURANGO. THEY SHORTED OUT NOW NOT WORKING 1K TO REPLACE!!!!

I PURCHASED A 2014 DODGE DURANGO ON NOV. 2017. I RETURNED THE CAR 2 DAYS LATER BECAUSE OF THE TAIL LIGHT HAD WATER IN IT AND THE PART OF IT WAS NOT WORKING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE REAR CAMERA AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AND WATER GOT IN THE TAIL LIGHT WHICH CAUSED IT TO FLICKER WHILE DRIVING. THE TAIL LIGHT EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER REFERRED ME TO A DODGE DEALER THAT EVENTUALLY REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT IN MARCH OF 2018. IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 2019 AND PART OF THE TAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING DUE TO WATER THAT SEEPED IN THE TAIL LIGHT. I'VE HAD THE TAIL LIGHT REPLACED TWICE IN LESS THAN 1 1/2 YRS OF OWNERSHIP AND NOW THE TAIL LIGHT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

THE CENTER PART OF MY REAR TAIL LIGHT KEEPS LETTING WATER GET INTO IT CAUSING THE LIGHT TO SHORT OUT AND HAS CAUSED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS IS AN ISSUE CAUSED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN CONDITIONS THAT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER BECAUSE OF A DEFAULT PART I.E. SNOW, CAR WAS, RAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, IT UNINTENTIONALLY ROLLED AWAY WITH OCCUPANTS IN THE BACK SEAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ON/OFF SWITCH WAS PRESSED BY AN OCCUPANT INSIDE THE VEHICLE, WHICH STOPPED THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE VEHICLE, SHE FELL AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER HER FINGERS. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER RIGHT ANKLE, RIGHT LEG, AND LEFT ARM, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

WATER IS ENTERING INTO MY RACETRACK TAILLIGHT AND STAYING THERE AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF MY LIGHTING UNIT ANYTIME IT RAINS. THIS IS CAUSING MY LEFT LOWER RACETRACK LIGHTING TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. DEALERSHIP TRYING TO CHARGE OVER 1100 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT.

MY 2014 DURANGO HAS BEEN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FOR OVER 3 YEARS NOW. I TOOK MY CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND TO DIFFERENT DEALERS. IT WAS ALWAYS THE SAME STORY, 'WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING' I EVEN HAD ONE DEALERSHIP TELL ME 'SORRY WE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT, IT'S LIKE TRYING TO FIND A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.' ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER OVER 5TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT'S NEVER BEEN FIXED. NOW IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND OUT OF THEIR HAIR, JUST WHAT THEY WANTED. I NEED TO HELP ON WHAT TO DO IN THIS SITUATION. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAD WAS WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THEY FIXED SOME PROBLEM I HAD A FEW YEARS BACK, THEY ACTUALLY BROKE MY GAS TANK DOOR AFTER WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. MY CAR HAS ONCE AGAIN COME BACK WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. TODAY MY CAR WON'T START AND IS UNFORTUNATELY OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAD A MECHANIC COME TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE FUEL PUMP ONCE AGAIN. WHO'S WORKING ON THESE CARS? DRUNKS? I NEED HELP ASAP. I WANT TO NOTE THAT THE KNOCKING NOISE OCCURS EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING. NO MATTER THE ROAD CONDITIONS. SMOOTH, BUMPING, RAINING, THE KNOCKING SOUND IS THERE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A ROCK HITTING UNDER THE HOOD. IT'S NOT CONSTANT BUT HAPPENS EVERY 3-5 MINUTES AND I KNOW IT'S NOT THE LIFTERS BECAUSE I'VE ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM ALREADY AND IT'S BEEN FIXED. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. .

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING A VERY BAD RAINSTORM AT NIGHT ON JANUARY 16TH, 2019. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 50 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, IN THE NUMBER THREE LANE, WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF, WHERE I LOST COMPLETE POWER TO MY ENGINE. MY SPEEDOMETER DROPPED FROM 50 TO 30 MPH IMMEDIATELY, LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER, TO BARELY MAKE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. NO POWER, NO BRAKE, NO STEERING-NOTHING. MY HORN WAS ALSO HONKING, MY HEADLIGHTS FLASHING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ATTEMPTING TO MOVE BUT UNABLE TO, AND SPEAKERS MAKING WEIRD NOISES. AND TO MAKE THINGS EVEN MORE SCARY, MY 9 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, AND POSSIBLY ISSUE A RECALL. I FEEL THAT I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT MY SON AND MYSELF WERE NOT SEVERELY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED, WITH MY CAR SHUTTING OFF LIKE THAT WITHOUT WARNING. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO CRUISE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, NO DOUBT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK AT A STANDSTILL BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AVERAGING 50-60 MPH. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED, AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS FROM THE RAIN AND IT SHORTED OUT MY ELECTRICAL. THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT? THERE SHOULD BE A BETTER EXPLANATION, AND ACTION TAKEN TO PREVENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS FROM EVER HAPPENING. THAT CAR SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING FROM 50 MPH TO 0 MPH ON A FREEWAY COULD HAVE COST MY SON AND I OUR LIVES. I AM EXPECTING TO HEAR BACK FROM DODGE REGARDING THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED, AND I HAV

REAR TAILGATE RACETRACK LIGHT HAS A LEAK. WATER ENTERED THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE AND SHORTED OUT THE LED BULB. THERE IS CURRENTLY WATER IN THE LIGHT FIXTURE. THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE OF BLACK CHARRING DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SHORT. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON-LINE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST "DEPLOYED" WITHOUT WARNING, STRIKING AND INJURING MY WIFE WHO REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT TO RESOLVE THE INJURY. INSPECTION OF THE HEAD REST REVEALED THAT THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE METAL RETAINING PIN FOR THE ACTIVE HEAD REST SYSTEM HAD FAILED, RESULTING IN THE RAPID FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THE HEAD REST CAUSING INJURY. DODGE/FCA SO FAR IS REFUSING TO COVER THE OBVIOUS MATERIALS FAILURE AND POOR DESIGN UNDER WARRANTY.*DT*TR *DT*JB

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED AND TELLS ME TO GET THE AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICED FOR NO REASON. IT HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT AND JUST OUT OF THE BLUE CAME ON AND REMAINS ON. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2014 DODGE DURANGO AND MINE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL.

WATER HAS ENTERED THE "RACETRACK" LIGHTING ASSEMBLY ON THE REAR LIFTGATE CAUSNG PARTS OF IT TO NOT FUNCTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RACE TRACK LIGHTING ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE RETAINED WATER. AS A RESULT, THE REAR LIGHTS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CENTRAL AVENUE CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (1839 CENTRAL PARK AVE, YONKERS, NY 10710, (866) 671-0682) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT WITHOUT A RUBBER SEAL OVER THE LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BUY ANOTHER LIGHT BEFORE THEY COULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

REAR RACETRACK LIGHTING HAS FILLED WITH WATER FROM RAIN AND SHORTED OUT THE L.E.D'S.

DEVELOPED A LEAK IN THE OIL FILTER HOUSING, WHICH LEAKS DOWN THROUGH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ALSO GETS ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PENTASTAR 3.6L ENGINE ON ALL CHRYSLER PRODUCED VEHICLES. THEY HAVE MADE A FEW REVISIONS TO THIS PART, BUT HAVE NEVER ISSUED A RECALL LEAVING MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS FAULTY AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PART.

MY 14 DODGE DURANGO BEGAN TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN RUNNING. 10/17/17- IT WAS FOUND THAT THE EXHAUST CAM LIFTERS AND ROCKER ARMS ON RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE WERE WORN. IT WAS WARRANTIED AND REPLACED. IT WAS REPLACED AGAIN IN THE SUMMER OF 18. I WAS TOLD THE LEFT SIDE WOULD EVENTUALLY NEED REPLACED AS WELL, BUT THEY COULDN'T UNTIL IT PRESENTED A PROBLEM. IN NOVEMBER OF 18 THE SAME NOISE HAPPENED AGAIN. IT WAS PUT IN THE SHOP DEC. 26TH. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM(RIGHT) AND THE LEFT. THE DEALER WILL FIX THE RIGHT SIDE(FOR THE THIRD TIME) BECAUSE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WILL NOT FIX THE LEFT. MY CAR JUST WENT OVER 100,000. THE DEALER EXPRESSED THAT HE WAS SURPRISED IT WAS NOT A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS SO COMMON. AT THIS POINT, THE WEAR HAPPENS EVERY SIX MONTHS. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY AS THE VERY LEAST, OR RECALLED. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THREE TIMES IN A LITTLE OVER 1 YEAR.

2014 DURANGO RACETRACK LIGHTS ON THE LIFT GATE HAVE WATER IN THEM. THE WATER HAS SHORTED OUT THE LEDS ON ONE SIDE ALREADY. I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL LEAD TO MORE LEDS SHORTING OUT CREATING A HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS AT NIGHT. ADDITIONALLY, I AM CONCERNED FOR THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AS THERE MAY BE SOME ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE DUE TO THE WATER. THIS IS A PART THAT IS NOT SERVICEABLE. I COULD NOT HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO PREVENT IT. IT IS A MANUFACTURER FLAW. IT IS AN EXTERIOR PART AND SHOULD BE SEALED TO PREVENT MOISTURE, MUCH LESS WATER, FROM COLLECTING INSIDE OF IT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE PART THAT IS VISIBLE FOR WATER TO ENTER. I FEAR THE LACK OF LEDS OPERATING WILL PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM PASSING STATE INSPECTION. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DODGE DEALER STATE THERE IS NO COVERAGE. THE DODGE DEALER QUOTED $1233 TO REPLACE THE PART. VEHICLE HAS 90K MILES. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. LEDS NOT WORKING WAS NOTICED 12/30/18

TAKATA RECALL: WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS WATER POOLING INSIDE THE REAR RACETRACK LIGHTING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. A PORTION OF THE RACETRACK LIGHTING WAS GOING OUT DUE TO THE WATER. LUCKILY THE DEALERSHIP WAS WILLING TO REPLACE IT FOR US AND DID (SO THEY SAY). WE'VE HAD THE NEW ONE IN FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THERE IS WATER POOLING ACROSS THE ENTIRE LIGHTING NOW. A BIGGER PORTION OF THE LIGHT IS STARTING TO GO OUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE AGAIN AND I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL START TO AFFECT THE REST OF THE COMPONENTS ON THE HATCH. AND I'M ASSUMING IT WILL SOON GO COMPLETELY OUT.

REAR RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY FILLED WITH WATER AND SHORTED OUT SMELLS LIKE ELECTRICAL FIRE

MY REAR RACETRACK LIGHT STARTED FILLING WITH WATER. SHORTLY AFTER THE RIGHT SIDE WENT OUT. CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I'D HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE PIECE WHICH IS $800.00+. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING. SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW TO ME. AND WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE; IT SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR THING FOR DURANGO OWNERS. WISH MOPAR/DODGE WOULD OFFER SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

THERE IS WATER COMING INTO THE BACK "RACETRACK" LIGHTS, CAUSING LEDS TO GO BAD, CAUSING BURNT LED LIGHTS. AND BAD VISIBILITY

LEAKING WATER IN AND AROUND THE SEALS OF LIGHTS CAUSING THEM NOT TO WORK. DEFECTIVE SEALS. THESE ARE IN THE REAR. ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE LIGHT IN FRONT FOR SAME PROBLEM ABOUT 1 OR 1 1/2 YEARS AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INTO THE REAR RACETRACK LAMP ASSEMBLY, WHICH CAUSED SEVERAL LED LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

WATER HAS ENTERED THE RACETRACK LIGHTING COMPONENT AND HAS CAUSED TWO SECTIONS TO BURN OUT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY COMPROMISE OF THE SYSTEM AS FAR AS A CRACKS, BREAKS, OR DAMAGE.

THE TAIL LIGHT HAS RETAINED WATER DUE TO PRODUCT DEFECT CAUSING THE TAIL LIGHT TO BURN OUT WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

I HAVE WATER IN MY TAIL GATE LIGHTS

WHEN WE FIRST BROUGHT THE VEHICLE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS WATER POOLING INSIDE THE REAR RACETRACK LIGHTING IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. AFTER A DAY OR TWO THE RACETRACK LIGHTING WENT OUT DUE TO THE WATER. LUCKILY THE DEALERSHIP WAS WILLING TO REPLACE IT FOR US AND DID. WE'VE HAD THE NEW ONE IN FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THERE IS WATER POOLING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE LIGHTING NOW. THE LIGHT IS STARTING TO FLICKER AND I'M ASSUMING IT WILL SOON GO OUT.

THE PASSENGER HEADREST ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT SAFETY DEVICE DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING DURING NORMAL DRIVING. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, ETC., THAT WOULD CAUSE THE DEVICE TO DEPLOY. THE DEVICE ERRANTLY DEPLOYED. HAD A PASSENGER BEEN IN THE VEHICLE THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH I NOTED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE.

THE SHOULDER GUIDE THAT GUIDES THE SEATBELT ON ITS TRACK FOUND CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE, AND STARTING TO CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. NOTICED WHEN THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY PROPERLY. FOUND UPON INVESTIGATION OF THE SEATBELT SYSTEM.
