2014 Dodge Durango complaints

THE REAR TAILGATE LIGHT IS FILLING WITH WATER . AFTER A RAIN STORM OR CAR WASH THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LIGHT HAS WATER BUILD UP , I'M WORRIED THAT IT WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE, AS PART OF THE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE.

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.

LED SIGN HER TAIL LIGHT FILLS UP WITH WATER AND SHORTS OUT THE LED BULBS THERE'S NO WAY TO CHANGE THE LED BULBS HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE DRIVERS SIDE HEAD REST EXPLODED CAUSING MY HEAD TO MOVE SLAM FORWARD. I THOUGH SOMEONE HAD HIT ME FROM BEHIND BUT LOOKED AND THERE WAS NO ONE THERE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO FIND THE HEAD REST APART. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ASKED IF I RAN INTO A CURB, HIT A LARGE BUMP OR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND WAS SORRY TO HEAR THAT HAPPENED. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THESE HEADREST EXPLODING RANDOMLY ON SEVERAL DODGE MODELS SPECIFICALLY THE DURANGO. MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 WITH 29K MILES ON IT, NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND BARELY DRIVEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND SWITCHING THE TRANSMISSION TO THE PARK POSITION, THE CONTACT STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AS IT ERRONEOUSLY ROLLED BACKWARDS. AS A RESULT, THE OPEN DRIVER DOOR STRUCK A WOODEN GATE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE ROLLING VEHICLE AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE MINOR INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000. *TT

ON MAY 31, 2018 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE RAIN, MY FRONT LEFT MOLDING WHEEL FLARE FLEW OFF OF MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THERE WERE NO HAZARDS IN THE ROADWAY AND I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO FLY OFF. THERE HAD ALSO BEEN NO PREVIOUS SIGNS THAT IT WAS LOSE OR ABOUT TO COME OFF, IT JUST SIMPLY FLEW OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE AFTERWARDS ALSO DID NOT INDICATE ANY DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL HUB AREA THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE WHEEL FLARE TO DETACH.

2 WEEKS AGO MY STEERING WENT OUT. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS FAULTY AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND NO ONE CAN TELL HIM WHEN IT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE BUT THE MANUFACTURER DID TELL HIM THAT THERE ARE 160 CUSTOMERS WAITING ON THIS PART. I AM CURRENTLY WITHOUT A VEHICLE DUE TO THIS, AS ARE THE OTHER 159 CUSTOMERS WAITING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE IGNITION IN THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED ONTO THE NEIGHBOR'S FARM. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR INJURIES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

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

AFTER A YEAR OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THE REAR HATCH BREAK LIGHT WAS COLLECTING WATER. THIS LARGE CLUSTER CRACKED DOWN THE VERY CENTER ALMOST AS IF THE WEIGHT OF THE TWO ENDS WAS NOT SUPPORTING PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE CENTER. ONCE IT FILLS WITH WATER ALL THE LIGHTS THAT ARE SUBMERGED IN WATER BURN OUT.

REAR LIGHT TAKING ON WATER CAUSING BULBS TO BLOW

RACE TRACK TAIL GATE LED LIGHT IS FILLED WITH WATER CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO FAIL. VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES AND IS GARAGED. WATER FILLS TAIL GATE LIGHT WHEN IT RAINS OR THROUGH CAR WASH. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE LIGHTS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. CT DEALERS ARE ASKING $1,120 TO REPLACE ASSEMBLY WITH THE CAMERA.

THE LIGHT ON THE LIFTGATE COLLECTS WATER WHILE RAINING. THE WATER STAYS INSIDE THE LIGHT AND HAS MADE THE LED LIGHTS GO OUT WHERE THE WATER WAS COLLECTED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. THE LIGHT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND WITHIN ONE YEAR IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE PART IS CLOSE TO $1000 AND FROM WHAT I CAN TELL IT WILL JUST HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DESIGN IS FLAWED AND REALLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES IDENTICAL TO MINE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. WHILE SEARCHING FOR OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN SEARCH OF A FIX I HAVE REALIZED THERE IS SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO REALIZED THERE IS NO FIX. ANYONE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE LIGHT ENDS UP HAVING THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS FAIR TO THE CONSUMER TO HAVE TO SPEND CLOSE TO $1000 EVERY YEAR TO HAVE A WORKING LIGHT ON THE BACK OF THE CAR. I AM SUBMITTING THIS IN HOPES SOMETHING WILL BE DONE TO FIX THE DESIGN FLAW. THIS ISSUE IS ON MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO R/T WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. LIKE I SAID I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHT ONCE ALREADY AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP PAYING TO KEEP A WORKING LIGHT.

THE REAR TAILLIGHTS ACCUMULATE WATER AND HAVE NO WAY TO WEEP/DRAIN. THIS IS NOW A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TAILLIGHTS HAVE FAILED.

WITHOUT WARNING, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT ACTIVE HEAD REST DEPLOYED WITHOUT CAUSE OR CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING, WE WERE JUST GETTING INSIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST TETHERED TO THE SEAT SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY DEPLOYED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE HEAD REST. NO VISIBLE DAMAGE IS APPARENT TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF (CRASH), AND NO VISIBLE CODES OR WARNING LIGHTS (I.E. AIRBAG LIGHT) ARE DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN I10 IN HOUSTON TX THE HEADREST POPPED OPEN FOR NO GIVEN REASON.

THERE IS WATER BUILD UP IN MY LIFTGATE REAR TAIL LIGHTS. IT CAUSED MY LIGHT TO GO OUT AND BURN OUT.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY DODGE FOR 2 PLUS YEAR. I WILL GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES GAS STARTS FLOWING BACK OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR REPAIR. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY REPLACED SENSORS, WELL IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM, TANK AND ALL. THEY HAVE STATED THAT MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE DEALER WILL NOT GIVE IT BACK TO ME TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS COMPLETELY CONTAMINATED AND THE ENTIRE CANISTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED . THEY ARE WAITING ON THE PART TO COME IN BUT THAT WILL NOT BE TILL MID JULY BECAUSE THEY HAVE 4200 ON BACKORDER. THIS IS CLEARLY A MAJOR ISSUE WITH DODGE DURANGO AND NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO HELP FIX THIS ISSUE. IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT! WHILE DRIVING I WOULD HAVE A LARGE SMELL OF GAS IN MY CAR AND IT WOULD JUST CUT OFF AND NOT START BACK UP.

WITHOUT WARNING MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST POPPED OPEN. DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED AS MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. HEADSET JUST POPPED OPEN AND IS STUCK.

REPEATED FAILURE/THUNKING OF THE REAR SELF-LEVELING SHOCK SYSTEM AND MOUNTS

FIRST ISSUE IS SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING THE CAR APPEARS TO BE ACCELERATING AND THE SPEED MPH GAUGE WILL GO UP BUT THE CAR IS ACTUALLY NOT GOING PAST A CERTAIN SPEED AND IS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. SECOND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED ON THEIR OWN THIRD IF THE PASSENGER DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING THE PROMPT 'THE FOB HAS LEFT THE VEHICLE' APPEARS WHEN YOU START DRIVING. BATTERY IN THE FOB HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES FOURTH THE AC AND HEATER DO NOT WORK JUST CIRCULATES AIR. NEVER EVER WORKED!!! THOUGHT I WAS MAYBE USING THE WRONG CONTROLS BUT I'VE READ THAT MANUAL A MILLION TIMES AND IT'S NOT HUMAN ERROR

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.

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT UNLATCH/LOCK. HAVE TO SIT IN MY CAR FOR 5 MINS. AT TIMES BEFORE IT WILL UNLOCK. AFRAID IF I WAS IN A ACCIDENT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR.

AIR BAG SYSTEM LIGHT ON AND DEALER SAYS WIRING HARNESS FOR AIRBAG NEEDS REPLACEMENT. ISSUE IS NON AVAILABLE AND NO IDEA OF WHEN THEY WOULD GET IT AS ALL ARE ON BACK ORDER WITH NO GET WELL DATE.

DRIVERS SIDE HEAD RESTRAINT FUNCTIONED /DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON, CAUSING A BLOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, HURTING AND DISORIENTING THE DRIVER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION,

THE TOUCH SCREEN WORKS PART OF THE TIME AND OTHER TIMES NOT. ALSO AIR WORKS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHER TIMES, SOMETIMES HALF THE CAR IS COLD WHILE AT THE SAME TEMP THE OTHER HALF OF THE CAR IS HOT AIR FROM THE VENT. ALSO THE SEAT SET UP DOES NOT KEEP SETTINGS.

I NOTICED RECENTLY THAT CONDENSATION WAS ACCUMULATED IN THE REAR RACING TAIL LIGHT ON THE BACK HATCH OF THE TRUCK. I THEN NOTICED APPROXIMATELY 1" OF WATER BUILD UP THAT COLLECTED INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE SAME RACING STRIP TAIL LIGHT ON THE REAR OF THE HATCH. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE TO SEE IF IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE AND THERE IS SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS ALSO YOUTUBE.COM VIDEOS EXPLAINING HOW TO DRAIN THE LIGHT. I CALLED DODGE YESTERDAY AFTER DRAINING THE LIGHT (I HAVE A VIDEO), THEY STATED THAT COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE JUST WENT OUT OF WARRANTY. THE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT COSTING AROUND $1000-$ 1200.00. THEY ADVISED ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA TO SEE IF A RECALL COULD BE ISSUED. PLEASE LOOK AT THIS LINK, SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/TAIL-LIGHT-SWITCH-PROBLEMS.PHP YOUTUBE, HOW TO DRAIN: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=Z8ZUPYCTIXS THERE IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH THIS ASSEMBLY. CAN YOU PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO ISSUE A RECALL SO THIS CAN BE FIXED. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE OR INCIDENT TO THE REAR END TO CAUSE SUCH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS.

THE REAR HATCH TAILLIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY, ALSO KNOWN AS THE "RACE TRACK" LIGHT, COLLECTS WATER SOMEHOW INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY. I HAVE FOUND WATER INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY AFTER ANY VOLUME OF RAIN, BE IT A DRIZZLE OR A DOWNPOUR, AND AFTER ANY LENGTH OF CARWASHING. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A SMALL BIT OF WATER EITHER. DUE TO THE WATER ACCUMULATION IN THE ASSEMBLY, PART OF THE LED ASSEMBLY HAS NOW GONE DARK. DUE TO THE SHAPE OF THE LIGHT THE WATER ACCUMULATES IN THE BOTTOM CORNERS OF THE LIGHT AND JUST SITS THERE UNTIL A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY COMES ALONG TO EVAPORATE THE WATER. WHICH STILL LEAVES A LARGE AMOUNT OF CONDENSATION INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY. SO IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY GOES DARK AND QUITS WORKING, THAT'S THE BEST CASE SCENARIO. I HAVE READ ON EVERY MOPAR, DODGE, AND DURANGO SPECIFIC COMMUNITY FORUMS AND MESSAGE BOARDS THAT THIS IS NOT A ONE OFF ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT 90% OF DURANGO'S WITH THIS LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WITH SOME CASES REPORTING VISIBLE SMOKE COMING FROM THE ASSEMBLY DUE TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE FROM EXTENDED WATER DAMAGE, COMPLETE LIGHT FAILURE, AND MANY OTHER ISSUES CAUSED BY SHOTTY MANUFACTURING. TO HAVE THE ASSEMBLY REPLACED IS NO CHEAP VENTURE. THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ALONE RUNS AROUND $500 OR MORE, DEPENDING ON THE CONDITION, PLUS I'M FIGURING ANOTHER $300 TO $600 IN LABOR COST ON TOP OF THE PART COST. NONE OF THIS WORK IS COVERED UNDER ANY OF MOPAR, DODGE, OR CHRYSLER WARRANTIES. EVEN THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I PAI

WATER EASILY FILLS THE BACK TAIL LIGHT AND STARTS TO CRACK. THE LIGHTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO POINT TO PAY THE MONEY TO REPLACE SINCE IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO ALSO GET WATER IN THEM. THE LIGHTBULBS BURN OUT QUICKLY AND NEED TO BE REPLACED THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

WATER COLLECTING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RACE TRACK TAIL LIGHTS ON MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO

THE CENTER SECTION OF THE REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS WATER IN IT. A SEAL MUST HAVE FAILED. SOME OF THE LED LIGHT IS NON-FUNCTIONING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED WATER LEAKING INTO THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE L.E.D. EXTERIOR LIGHTING FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FISK AUTO MALL (4599 FORT CAMPBELL BLVD, HOPKINSVILLE, KY), BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED SINCE IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

THERE IS STANDING WATER IN MY REAR TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THOUSANDS OF OTHER DURANGO OWNERS WITH THE SAME ASSEMBLY NATIONWIDE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECALL THE FAULTY PART. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT HAS ALREADY BURNT OUT THE BULBS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ASSEMBLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND POWER STEERING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE HOME, INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WATER PUMP FAILED DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIALS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY FILLS UP WITH WATER, EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS TO DIM OR STOP WORKING. SAFETY ISSUE.

SAME DEFECT STATED BY NUMEROUS DRIVERS. AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE LIGHT ILLUMINATING AND DISABLING AIR BAG SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY. DODGE DEALER SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF RECALL. SAME AIR BAG SYSTEM, SAME FAILURE, BUT NOT PART OF RECALL P67? OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION, NOT IN MOTION, RANDOM TIMES. ALL TYPES OF DRIVING.

VEHICLE PARKED OVERNIGHT. UPON ENTERING THE DRIVERS HEADREST WAS NOTED TO BE EXPLODED OPEN AS THE PLASTIC MOUNTS HOLDING THE PIN KEEPING THE ACTIVE RESTRAINT CLOSED HAD DISINTEGRATED. IF CAR HAD BEEN UNDERWAY THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN LETHAL..

THE "RACETRACK" LIGHT ON THE LIFTGATE ISN'T SEALED AND WATER GETS IN TO IT CAUSING THE LED LIGHTS TO BURN OUT.

REAR LIGHTS CRACKING AND FILLING WITH WATER. REAR RACETRACK LED LIGHTS HAVE FAILED, LICENCE PLATE LEDS FAILED, AND THERE ARE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH TURN SIGNALS DUE TO THIS.

REAR LEFT LICENSE PLATE LIGHT GETTING MOISTURE IN IT. FIRST ONE STOPPED WORKING. REPLACED WITH NEW ONE. NOW THIS ONE HAS WATER. NOT SURE WHY ONLY ONE IS GETTING WATER IN IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, A BURNING ODOR WAS DETECTED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH MEANT THAT THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (PEACOCK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM HILTON HEAD IN HARDEEVILLE, SC 29927) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,326. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING 40-50 MPH ON HWY 146 NEAR KEMAH, TX. SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING THE DRIVER SEAT HEADREST ROSE UP SEVERAL INCHES AND THE FRONT OF THE HEADREST SHOT OUT AND HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

MY DODGE DURANGO REAR RACETRACK TAIL LIGHTS HAVE FILLED WITH WATER CONTINUOUSLY AND BLOWN THE LIGHTS IN THE ASSEMBLY, WHEN THEY ARE FLICKERING IT HAS GIVEN DRIVERS BEHIND ME A FALSE VISUAL THAT I WAS TURNING AND HAS CAUSED THEM TO TRY PASSING ME AND ALMOST CAUSED AT LEAST ONE ACCIDENT WITH MYSELF AND SON. IT IS VERY COSTLY TO REPLACE THE LIGHTS WHICH HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES NOW. I HAVE SEEN MANY DURANGO IN MY AREA THE SAME WAY. EVENTUALLY THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. EVERYDAY BEFORE MY WIFE OR I LEAVES WITH THE TRUCK WE HAVE TO CHECK THE REAR LIGHTS AND DUE TO THE NEAR MISS WHEN THE ASSEMBLY FILLS UP WITH WATER WE DON'T DRIVE IT UNTIL THE LIGHTS ARE FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER ATTEMPTING THREE TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT FINALLY STARTED AND WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN APPROXIMATELY TWO AND A HALF MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

THE PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT AND THE CENTER TAIL LIGHT (MOUNTED ON TAILGATE) FILL WITH WATER. THIS RESULTS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT OFTEN NOT WORKING. THE CENTER TAIL LIGHT IS OCCASIONALLY TOTALLY INOPERABLE AND NOW HAS LEDS PERMANENTLY BURNED OUT IN THE LOWER PORTION. NEITHER TAIL LIGHT FIXTURE HAS EVER BEEN DAMAGED AND THE PROBLEM WITH EACH ONE APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF MANUFACTURING (OR DESIGN) DEFECTS.

WATER COLLECTS INSIDE THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WHENEVER I DRIVE IN RAIN OR GO THROUGH AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. RECENTLY I NOTICED THERE WAS SEVERAL OUNCES STUCK INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY MOUNTED ON THE TAILLIGHT AND PART OF THE LED LIGHT "TRACK" IS OUT. I REMOVED 2 BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE LIGHT AND WATER POURED OUT FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS. I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL PROGRESS AND MORE OF THE TAIL LIGHT WILL GO OUT. THE LED LIGHTING IS NO USER REPLACEABLE.

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!

THE RACETRACK LIGHT ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS REPLACED IN 2017 DUE TO WATER SEEPING INSIDE THE LIGHT COMPONENT. LESS THAN ONE YEAR LATER, THE REPLACEMENT RACETRACK LIGHT HAS FILLED WITH WATER AND THE LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING.

UNDER NORMAL USE THE REAR TAIL LIGHT WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN INCH OF STANDING WATER. DURING THIS TIME THE LED TAIL LIGHT (RACE TRACK) SECTION(S) WE'RE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND/OR OUT TOTALLY NOT PRODUCING LIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

WATER LEAKES INTO THE REAR "RACE TRACK" LIGHT ASSEMBLY THAT IS ON THE REAR LIFT DOOR. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN PROBLEM IS NOTCED. I HAVE TO REMOVE BOTTOM BOLT ON REAR OF ASSEMBLY TO DRAIN WATER AND THEN IT FILLS UP AGAIN. A SECTION OF THE LIGHTING NO LONGER WORKS. I HAVE HAD INTERMITTED TIMES WHERE ALL REAR LIGHT ARE OUT( NO BRAKE/ TURN SIGNAL) NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE NOTICE MANY VEHICLES WITH SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS THRU MANY WEBSITES. THERE IS NO FIX OFFERED THRU DODGE EXCEPT PURCHASE REPLACEMENT PART FOR $1200.
