2017 DODGE DURANGO Exterior Lighting Problems

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE BALLEST WAS BAD WHICH CAUSED THE BULB TO BLOW. WITHIN TWO OR THREE WEEKS THE PASSENGER SIDE ONE WENT OUT AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THE CAR WASN'T UNDER THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY AT THAT POINT SO ENDED UP COSTING ME MONEY TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A FAULT IN THE DESIGN BECAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER CUSTOMER THERE THAT HAD THE VERY SAME ISSUE. BOTH LIGHTS WHEN YOU STARTED THE CAR THE LIGHT WOULD FLASH ON AND THEN AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE THE LIGHT WOULD THEN GO OUT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE HEAD LAMP REPEATEDLY FAILS AND BURNS OUT AFFECTION NIGHT TIME DRIVING VISIBILITY. WHEN EACH AND EVERY BULB IS REPLACED IT HAS BURNED TERMINALS CAUSING LIGHT BULB TO SHORT OUT. NOT ONLY IS THIS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE EVERY 3 TO 4 WEEKS, IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH LOW VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. IT ALSO, MAKES MY VEHICLE LESS VISIBLE TO ONCOMING DRIVERS. IN ADDITION, IT IS CAUSING UNDO DISTRESS BEING CONSTANTLY PULLED OVER BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AND BEING EITHER FINED OR WARNED FOR DRIVING ILLEGALLY WITH ONE HEAD LAMP I HAVE SEEN ON YOU TUBE AND OTHER OUTLETS ON LINE THAT THIS IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE.

WATER POOLING INSIDE THE RACETRACK TAILLIGHTS, DECKLID AREA. LIGHTS SEEM TO NOT BE WATERPROOF OR WATERTIGHT.

MY LEFT TURNING SIGNAL KEPT GOING OUT AND COMING BACK ON. THEN I NOTICED IT WAS EFFECTING THE HEAD LIGHTS. IT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE BECAUSE SOMETIMES IF I HIT A BOMP THEY START WORKING NORMAL AGAIN. NOW BOTH HEAD LIGHTS ARE OUT AND THE BULBS ARE FINE.

WATER COLLECTED IN THE REAR LIGHT BAR HOUSING CAUSING THE LIGHTS ON EACH LOWER CORNER OF THE HOUSING TO BURN OUT.

WITH IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS AND STARTING AT 38,000 MILES THE LED RACING TAIL LIGHTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS AN 8" INCH BURNT OUT SPOT AND NOW THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

TAIL LIGHT HAS WATER IN THEM. WEATHER CAUSES WATER TO FREEZE AND DAMAGE LIGHTS. MAKES IT HARD TO SEE WHEN BRAKING AT NIGHT.

I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT LEFT TURN SIGNAL QUIT WORKING. I ASSUMED IT WAS A BURNT-OUT BULB. IN SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOR A "HOW-TO" FOR REPLACING THIS BULB (IT'S IN PRETTY CRAMPED QUARTERS), I FOUND THAT IT WAS COMMON FOR THE TURN SIGNALS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SEVERAL MODEL YEARS BEFORE AND AFTER IT. FURTHER, THERE WAS A DIAGNOSIS OF BURNT CONTACTS THAT WERE THE CULPRIT. IN REMOVING THE BULB, IT APPEARED TO BE NOT BURNT OUT, BUT THE CONTACT WAS BURNT. I REPLACED IT AND THE NEXT DAY IT FAILED TO WORK AGAIN. NOW IT AND THE OTHER ONE WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IN REMOVING THEM, I FIND THAT THE CONTACT IN THE RECEPTACLE IS ALSO BURNT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE MODEL (GIVEN THE INTERNET COMPLAINTS), AND THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. FURTHER, I AM REQUIRED (FOR SAFETY REASONS)...

I NOTICED WATER GETTING INTO THE MIDDLE LED RACE TRACK LIGHTING. THE MIDDLE LED LIGHT IS ALREADY OUT BECAUSE OF THIS. I BELIEVE THE HOUSING IS A FACTORY DEFECT, MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 40,000 AND THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING. EXTENDED WARRENTY WONT COVER THIS BECAUSE OF "CONDENSATION."

WATER IS GETTING IN THE TAIL LIGHTS AND CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE DURANGO R/T AWD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RACE TRACK LIGHTS WERE BURNED OUT BY WATER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN SEEN AT THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

WATER COLLECTS IN THE REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY (THE ONE ACROSS THE TAILGATE WITH THE BACK-UP CAMERA). SO BAD, SOME LAMPS HAVE BLOWN OUT ON THE LOWER RIGHT OF THE ASSEMBLY. IT ONLY DRAINS OUT WHEN REMOVING A.BOLT ON EACH SIDE, BUT WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, THE WATER RETURNS.

I DID MY OWN INVESTIGATION AND I FOUND OUT THAT ALMOST EVERY DODGE DURANGO 2017 HAS A PROBLEM ON THE LEFT FRONT TURN LIGHT SWITCH. IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU CHANGE THE BULB SEVERAL TIMES

THIS DESCRIPTION OF THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY I GO TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND OPEN UP THE BACK HATCH. ONCE IT IS OPEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE CUT MY UPPER ARM/FOREARM AT THE POINT WHERE THE REAR TAILLIGHTS ARE SEPARATED. I HAVE FELT THE AREA AND HAD FAMILY AND FRIENDS DO THE SAME. THEY ALL AGREE IT IS VERY SHARP AND HAZARDOUS.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE TURN SIGNAL INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED WORKING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. IT EVENTUALLY STAYED OUT. THINKING THE BULB WAS BAD, BOTH FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULBS WERE REPLACED WITH LEDS. A FEW DAYS AGO, THE ISSUE RESURFACED AND CONTINUES TO INTERMITTENTLY WORK. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE MOVING OR STATIONARY. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS POST OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR REPAIR AT NO OWNERS EXPENSE.

DEER WAS STRUCK BY VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR ON A CITY ROAD. SEVERE DAMAGE TO FRONT DRIVER SIDE TO INCLUDE UNDERCARRIAGE AND ELECTRICAL PARTS. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER THAT THE AIRBAG SENSORS WERE DESTROYED AND THE BAG SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF.

THE REAR RACE TRACK LIGHT HAS HAD WATER IN IT FOR MONTHS AND HAS NOW SHORTED OUT PART OF THE LIGHT. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED THEY SAID THAT WAS NORMAL AND WILL DRAIN ON IT'S OWN. NOW THAT THE WARRENTY IS UP THEY WILL NOT COVER IT.

THE TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING FOR A FEW DAYS; THEN IT STARTED BACK WORKING FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS STATIONARY AT A LIGHT WAITING TO TURN. THEN IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN, SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO GET IT FIXED. THE FRONT PART OF MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT STOPS, THEN I DRIVE AND HAPPEN TO HIT UNEVEN ROAD AND IT WOULD JUMP BACK ON. AT THE MOMENT IT IS NOT WORKING. THE FRONT SECTION OF THE AIR CONDITIONING BREAKS DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE, BUT THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO THE BACK PORTION OF MY AIR CONDITIONING. THIS OCCURRENCE HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY, OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

ON MY 2017 DODGE DURANGO RT AT 37,000 MILES I NOTICED WHEN RAINING WATER ENTERS THE CENTER RACING LIGHTS (SPECIFICALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE) AND POOLS INSIDE SHORTING THE LIGHTS SO THEY DON'T WORK ANYMORE. CONDENSATION COLLECTS IN SEVERAL AREAS BECAUSE OF THE POOLING WATER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LIFTGATE LIGHTS FLICKERED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. DUROCHER AUTO SALES (4651 U.S. 9, PLATTSBURGH, NY 12901, (518) 563-3587) DIAGNOSED THAT THE LIFTGATE LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WATER COLLECTING IN LIFT GATE RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT.

MY VEHICLE HAS BELOW 11,000 MILES AND HAS WATER POOLED IN THE BACKUP LAMP ASSEMBLY (RACETRACK LIGHT) IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CAUSING THE LED'S TO FLICKER AND SHORT OUT AT RANDOM. THIS ASSEMBLY IS ALSO THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT FOR THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT BEING CORRECTED THIS ISSUE WILL LEAD TO THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY TO FAIL.

DURING RAIN OR WASHING, WATER COLLECTS IN THE REAR BACKUP LIGHT ASSEMBLY CAUSING CONDENSATION INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY.

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW HAS A LITTLE OVER 10,000 MILES ON IT NOW, STARTED NOTICING STANDING WATER IN THE RACETRACK (BACK GATE) LED LIGHTS TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHY WATER WAS GETTING IN THEY INFORMED ME THE BRAKE LIGHT HAD A CRACK WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A SEAM (WHERE THE 2 PARTS MET) IT IS A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN, VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT OR DAMAGED, SO THE BRAKE LIGHT CRACKED IN ITS OWN. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THIS IS VERY COMMON AND DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN BE SAFE SINCE WATER IS GETTING INTO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL AND CAUSING LED BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL OR BURN OUT.

I RENTED 2017 DODGE DURANGO GT I HAVE THE TAILGATE OPEN AND THEN GRABBED BOTTLE CASE OF WATER I WAKE CLOSER TO THE TAILLIGHTS I CUT WITH THAT ,TAILLIGHTS HAVE PIECE OF THE TAILLIGHTS POINTING OUT IS DANGEROUS FILL LIKE A BLADE IF A CHILD GET CLOSER SOMETHING BAD GET I HAVE PIC FROM MY INJURY AND THE PLACE ON THE TAILLIGHTS
