NHTSA Complaint #11402930 — 2018 DODGE DURANGO

2018 DODGE DURANGO WITH 48,000 MILES. REAR TAILLIGHTS FILL WITH WATER. (ALSO KNOWN AS THE RACETRACK LIGHT). THE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLLY WILL FILL WITH WATER FROM RAIN WATER OR A SIMPLE CAR WASH. THIS CAUSES THE REAR TAILLIGHT TO FLICKER ON AND OFF OR BURN OUT COMPLETELY. THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE 2014 AND NEWER DURANGO. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW FROM DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT AND MAKE IT RIGHT. DODGE HAS ALSO NOT UPDATED THIS DESIGN TO IMPROVE IT EITHER. AFTER REPLACEMENT IT WILL ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS POORLY DESIGNED PART. THEN ON TOP OF IT, THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER WILL CHARGE YOU $1200 FOR A NEW ONE. I ATTACHED SOME PICTURES. I ALSO TOOK VIDEO OF THE WATER DRAINING OUT OF THE TAILGATE AND TAILLIGHTS FLICKERING ON AND OFF BUT COULDN'T UPLOAD THEM.
