Description of the problem | 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. |
