The problem is, if you have a crack, water gets in and stays in and burns it out. If it had a channel for the water it would help to salvage the filament. It's the standing water.
I own a 2016 Dodge Durango RT, and I have water damage on the lower left side of the track light for some time. I have seen a lot of other Dodge SUV's on the streets with the same problem, and I mean a lot. Thanks for the heads-up on this issue, I will look into the info you stated. I'm glad your page appeared on my thread.
I have a 2021 tow n go and it was the first thing I check and the seals are wide open. I bought silicone to cover the outer lights but I’m not taking the big trunk light bar off. It’s ridiculous that this is an issue
I thought based on the description that there was a settlement? I had mine replaced by a dealer twice I didn’t have to pay out-of-pocket but now my third one is going too same thing. I was hoping that this was finally settled and I can get it replaced once and for all
I have a 21 RT, so far, no issue with the taillights, I am watching it, but I noticed I have a fog lamp out, upon closer inspection there is moisture in the housing, going tomorrow to get that fixed hopefully, and get the whole thing replaced...so apparently the taillights are not the only part susceptible to water intrusion.
Mine went Completely out for 3 days after a car wash. Now its just the bottom portion not working. I tried to get this covered under my very expensive extended warranty. Nope, Because the part number is a light they said nope they dont cover lights. My dealer tried 2 times with them and still no. Dealer said they have not seen this covered under any extended warranty companies. I also tried to explain to warranty co its not just a friggin light bulb thats out. So we sealed it ourselves. Taking the light off the foam gaskets were perfectly fine Except a small amount of dirt on the top part of the gasket from the water/ dirt getting in there. Other than being a very thin pad they were in perfect cond. We sealed with a thicker flat foam strip on top of stock foam gasket and all across the top we used rtv and a round rubber rv foam tubing Also sealed around all the rear lights, top and edges with rtv. I was surprised at the amount of gaps there was where water can get in . So far no water of any kind.
My taillight has gone out. Even my radio is blinking and hard to control turn heat on, back up on camera comes on when driving. No recall this is a hot mess for either problem. Thanks for posting this
I have a 2018. I took the screws out on the inside and everytime it rains or I wash my car, I open the tailgate to drain the water. Haven’t had any burn out issues but I did get a crack in my light without doing anything. Talked to my dealership and because I put a strip of tint over it they won’t cover the light and I have to pay out of pocket to replace.
My screen on my 2018 started bubbling in the corners the 2nd year i had it. Luckily They replaced it under warranty. I believe they have fixed this issue with the replacement ones
My 2014 taillights were full of water so i drilled a small hole in each bottom corner to drain them. Some permanent damage in the bottom but it hasn't spread and the strip still mostly works 🙃
My Tail light water damage just started (DEC Christmas gift 🎁) and it's indeed frustrating 😡. Thanks for the video and hopefully the lawsuit falls on our side fast for free full cost replacement
@@guillermomarquez4911 in South Carolina. In fact I just had it replaced again for the second time yesterday under warranty. As long as Dodge replaces it, then it’s covered for 2 years after that. 2 replacements in just over a year sucks too.
My last one an my current Durango has had the water in the tail lights an caused my racetrack light to partially out/dim in on the left side. I got the Mopar warranty that covers electrical parts an all they told me it was a wear and tear item and was not covered I explained to these idiots its a sealed unit it aint like you just replace the bulbs
I have a 18, leaking on both sides, I tried to seal and they won't replace unless I pay for it. Heck give me the taillight, and I will replace... easy to do.
I luckily havent had an issue with my 19 SRT tail lights. Im afraid I may at some point but after 4 years I figured id see some sign they would go out and they arent so I may have gotten lucky so far.
My 2015 has a stress crack from the top all the way down the bottom right near the word Dodge. The Dodge dealer ignored it even after I told them I was getting water inside when I washed it or if it rained. Even my driver side headlight was taking in water in the same 2 scenarios I even showed them pictures I had been taking and they " didn't find anything wrong" other issue they have is the windshield cowl. Mine rubber strip is 90% gone and $300+ for a new one even though is starter to fail around 2017.
I called the dodge headquarter and told them about it. they told me to bring it to the shop and have me call them while there and PAY half of it. WHY do I need to pay half of it when it is the water and the seal ? It should be a RECALL!!!
Well, where is the lawsuits? We all dodge durango drivers with racetrack WANTS a RECALL and have them fix it!! It was never our problem and not one crack. ---
Took my 22 durango in for this issue. Came back with the interior panel cracked near the trapezoid shaped panel in the middle. What is that panel used to access?
So does this mean the 21 and up are fixed? I was asking the service guy today at a Dodge dealership and he didn't know crap. All he said was they cost 1600 bucks so they should of fixed it.
Following.. is there a link to file a complaint? Mine just went out. A 2018 bought new in 2019. It has only 50,000 miles on it. Ive had ALOT of issues with this vehicle. Not happy😠
Bro i have a 2021 with that issue thank god its a lease and covered under warranty. Its when water gets in the taillights. Im also having issues with my blue tooth when playng music through my cellphone
I put a complaint in about my taillight in 2020. I called them and went through a whole process so they knew. I have 2015 Durango and it was fine for about 3 years and that’s when it started getting moisture. By 2020 there was dimming on both sides.
My 2020 R/T with 55,000 just started with dimming in a section. Wtf I didn’t realize it would cost so much to replace. I love my vehicle so I’m really disappointed that this going to be an ongoing issue I’ll have to deal with.
So I got 2019 Dodge durango rt I had it for about 3 and 1/2 years and I started to get that tail light issue. I found some quick fixes on some web sites letting the water out but it was to late.. what do I do?? Was looking to call Dodge or mopar.
I have a 2017 Durango R/T and the fall of 2022 4 or 5 months after I bought it water started getting into my center race track tail light and me and a friend took it off and resealed it with windshield sealant and it lasted for about a year and the last couple months it started getting more water in it again so I just got a new center track light and luckily I got 30% off of it but the msrp price for it is $1450 and when water first got into the old light the leds flickered but after I took the old one off this last time the foam seals around where the reverse lights are looked like water was going in around them on the right side which is where water was getting in and sorry for such a long comment but I have been dealing with some issues with my center track light the corners have been fine
I believe this class action lawsuit is for Americans, and does not include Canada unfortunately. Side question: can you send the link to your carbon trim covers, they look great 🤩
My truck 2021 I pulled race track light out cuz water built up and lights becoming dim I noticed that light manufacturing date may 2016;how the fuck truck 2021 but tail light 2016
I am laughing at these comments you're screaming about a measly 1200 and most of your vehicles that's if you don't have an RT is 60 Grand and up what was the point of buying the vehicle Mercedes-Benz headlight 600.00 a pop that's 1200 right there and we're not going to talk about their breaks and they have a total recall to get it fixed for free don't buy the vehicle going to have fun paying for it someone was just trying to get paid for a simple malfunction vehicles are built in 2 hours nowadays you're going to have problem😂😂😂
Would be great for a recall for the racetrack taillight for all models after 2014. Free of charge with a (COMPLETELY UNDEFECTIVE SEALED) unit!
Hope so!!!
I might as well wait to replace mine hopefully this goes into effect soon. 🙏
I took my 21 in today to have the oil changed and rotate and they checked mine and said there was a recall on it
Just called on my 2018, no current recall @@cynthia1088

My 17’ RT left side is retaining water… just noticed after checking monthly for 4 years lol also my AC is now making a hissing sound. Ugh
My AC is making the same noise. Ever find out what the problem was?
@@arturoperalta2968 it needs 1234yf coolant
I purchased a 2024 Durango...Is this still an issue?
Waiting for us to win! 🤑
Hopefully they fix this. I’ve been getting water in the left side and always have to unscrew the bottom left bolt and the water comes out
Once u take out the water does the light come back on or stop dimming

4 years with no issues is great! The less rain the better too
There’s some bold you can undo when the trunk is open to drain water… I found this out like 1 days before mine started to dim
My 6 month old ddsrt had water in the right rear light already . BUT it's under warranty .
In my opinion they should have a rubber seal or gasket around the entire taillight to protect it
Do you have a link to where we can file a complaint also?
I have a 16 RT. This will be the second time my tailgate light is dimming due to leakage. Where can I contribute info on the class action?

Just cost me $ 1400 in my 2018, with only 55,000 miles. Not covered under my warranty cause it's considered a lens or bulb.
I just got my Durango 2 months ago and already I'm having this problem already. Water getting in the taillight
Well, where is the lawsuits? We all dodge durango drivers with racetrack WANTS a RECALL and have them fix it!! It was never our problem and not one crack. ---
Interior trim 👌🏾 is too nice
Please, i got a 2014 i was lucky the first time, and now the tail light broke again, and the warranty ran out its alot of money 💰 to fix it
Did they fixed this problem at 2024 models?
Took my 22 durango in for this issue. Came back with the interior panel cracked near the trapezoid shaped panel in the middle. What is that panel used to access?
Lifter tick needs to be done to for both the 5.7 and 3.6 penstar

What has happen to this lawsuit
Myself, I would rather have some help with the 3.6 pentastar oil cooler, and lifter/ rocker/camshaft failure issues. Just drill a drain hole in it.
My taillights still dim rt 2015
Hmmm… maybe also sue dodge/ fca in small claims court
When they replce the lights it has to be sealed
