We now have a small shower potential when standing under our lift gate. That worked, but is not a solution to the diminished lighting. I found a youtube video, which showed removing a few lift gate bolts would allow the water to escape, helping to limit the loss of more of the leds inside the housing. This failure, on an essential safety element on the Durango, has been noted by many folks on the web. I believe Dodge intended owners to never (except in the case of a collision, or in other rare instances) need to replace such a pricey part, for the life of the vehicle. I was told that I could buy a new tail light for $1,200. The dealership told me that there was no recall, and the warranty was expired.

I called the dealership and 'googled' the problem. Looking closer, we saw that it held water. I had remote started the car, so we could see the lights. My wife noticed the tail light was not as bright on the driver's side. In July we approached our parked Durango. I also provided the url to one of the very first links that showed up in google by searching 2014 Durango dead tail lights as well as an attached picture from a google image search using the same search. I have included a picture of the rear of my carr from 2 weeks ago and my original dealership invoice for the first time the light was replaced 2 years ago. I did a cursory google search to see if anyone else has had a similar problem and found forums, videos, and pictures of people with both Dodge Durango's and late model Dodge charger's having the same issue as me. I unfortunately can't afford to replace the light at this time because of the price. I have been told by my dealership that the repair will be between $1000 and $1400 dollars because the entire assembly has to be done together because it is manufactured that way. My main concern is that it will worsen and cause either safety incidents because the lights can't be seen at night, or will cause me to be cited by the police for lights being out. The vehicle wasn't moving, it was simply parked in my driveway or in the lot outside of where I work. We have been having heavy rains the last 2 weeks and I noticed that the light began filling with water again. (it did within a month) the extended warranty I purchased does not cover this. They replaced it then because I noticed the issue the day I bought the car and they offered to fix the problem on their dime should it worsen. I bought my vehicle 2 years ago and my dealership replaced the entire tail light assembly because of this issue and now it is happening again. The rear tail lights of my 2014 Durango are filling with water because of bad seals and the led strip inside is shorting out.
