 Description of the problemThe 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 unacceptable and you know it is..... So do something about it.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
