2014 Dodge DURANGO Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	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 paid roughly $4,000 for. This situation has numerous saftey concerns from no visibility at night for the driver's behind to a serious fire hazard with electrical equipment constantly in water. I hope this issue is remedied before my vehical or anyone else's vehical has melting taillights or another vehical wedged in the rear from my rear lights burning out. Please research all the forums out there.
