Description of the problem | 2014 durango racetrack lights on the lift gate have water in them. The water has shorted out the leds on one side already. I am concerned this will lead to more leds shorting out creating a hazard for other drivers at night. Additionally, i am concerned for the overall safety of the vehicle as there may be some additional electrical system damage due to the water. This is a part that is not serviceable. I could not have done anything to prevent it. It is a manufacturer flaw. It is an exterior part and should be sealed to prevent moisture, much less water, from collecting inside of it. There is no damage to the part that is visible for water to enter. I fear the lack of leds operating will prevent the vehicle from passing state inspection. Dodge customer service and dodge dealer state there is no coverage. The dodge dealer quoted $1233 to replace the part. Vehicle has 90k miles. I noticed the problem when the vehicle was in my driveway. Leds not working was noticed 12/30/18 |
