 Description of the problemNoticed water inside the center rear taillight. Took the lower corner bolts out and tons of water pours out any time the car gets wet (car wash, rain storm etc). Parts of the led light are going out because of the water intrusion. I make sure to drain the water whenever the car gets wet, and to not turn the lights on when there may be water inside the housing. Of course, you can't replace the bulb inside, you have to buy an entire center taillight for over $1,000. 00!!! Wont be long and the entire light will be burnt out. Now, since i live in wyoming where we have nasty winters, and the water intrusion keeps getting worse, the water has frozen inside the taillight and cracked the lens, creating more water intrusion! Terrible design. I have read hours of forums about this issue. It is very very common on 2014-2019 durangos. There is no fix for the issue. Some have gotten extended warranties to pay for a new taillight, then, a month later, they have water inside the light and a burnt out light again. What happens when the light goes out and i am in the middle of a nasty blizzard; i can't go buy a new bulb to put in it and i definitely can't go buy a new taillight at $1k just to have it do the same thing. Dodge needs to fix this issue. The lights need to be recalled and replaced with a reliable design.
