Description of the problem | Portion of brake light (known as race track lighting) that is located on rear hatch portion of vehicle has been infiltrated by water due to faulty gasket material and rendered portion of light inoperable. Entire assembly must be replaced at a cost of $1100 at dealer. Have mopar maxcare warranty and will not be covered. Also spoke to dodge customer care and they could not open a case on it due to the age/mieage on the vehicle. This has been a reoccurring issue on 2014+ dodge durango's as well as other models that use this racetrack lighting. To reiterate, the light is not damaged on the exterior in any way, was not modified by anyone in any way..... It is an inherent flaw in the design of he lighting and gasket used to keep it water proof that caused this failure. |
