Consumer Description

My 2019 Dodge Durango is experiencing rear 'racetrack' lighting issues as thousands have. Many are complaining same issue. Poor design allows water to get into LED assembly and shorts it out. When this happens not only does the allumination of the LED go out.. But so does the license plate light. This not only creates a illegal situation but a hazard in night driving. You take the mounting bolt out on 'inside' of rear hatch and water pours out. Took this in to two differant dealers and neither will honor the warranty. I assume due to cost of the 'racetrack' being 0ver $1000 not including cost on labor. This is a serious issue thousands of owners are dealing with. from 2014 Durango right through the latest model. They seriously need a recall on this defective issue to prevent accidents.
