Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Rear racetrack tail light fills with water. Looks like dodge overtightened the bolts causing the plastic to crack which leads to the main tail light to fill with water and short out. This causes the tail lights to not function making it a huge safety concern. Of course happens when vehicle is just out of warranty and dodge won't do a thing about it, it according to them is a me problem. I have seen other vehicles with the same problem. This racetrack design tail light system is a terrible design and a dangerous one. |
