EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SEALS AROUND THE REAR LIFTGATE RACETRACK LIGHTING HAVE ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER MAKING THE LIGHTS FAIL. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE BY HAVING THE RACETRACK LIGHTS TO FAIL. STATE INSPECTIONS ALSO FAIL THIS FAULT UNTIL THE UNIT IS REPLACED FOR $1120 IN PARTS WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL AGAIN, WE ARE NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE WE ARE PUTTING A BAND-AID ON A SITUATION NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN
HAD PULLED CAR INTO GARAGE AND THOUGHT CAR WAS IN PARK. HAD NOT TURNED ROTARY SHIFTER ALL THE WAY TO PARK, SO CAR WAS IN REVERSE. STARTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE AND CAR STARTED PULLING BACKWARD. I JUMPED BACK INTO CAR AND APPLIED BRAKE JUST AS CAR DOOR, WHICH WAS AJAR, STRUCK GARAGE FRAMING, BADLY DAMAGING DOOR. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR I MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE THERE WAS NOWHERE TO MOVE IN THE GARAGE. CHRYSLER SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY PUT THESE ROTARY SHIFTER CARS INTO PARK IF VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND CAR DOOR IS OPENED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE RACETRACK TAIL LIGHTING IS FILLING UP WITH WATER DUE TO LEAKING SEALS. THE WATER IS SHORTING OUT THE LIGHTING SYSTEM AND CAN COMPLETELY SHORT OUT LEAVING NO CENTER BRAKE LIGHT ON THE LIFT GATE, LEAVING YOU VULNERABLE TO A REAR END COLLISION. THIS AFFECTS THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THE FIX IS TO HAVE THE CONSUMER PAY $1100 TO REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE 2015 DOSGE DURANGO RT AND IIT HAS RACETRACK STYLE TAIL LIGHT WHICH DIVIDED IN TO THREE SECTION RIGHT SIDE TAIL LIGHT, CENTER LIFT GATE TAIL LIGHT AND RIGHT SIDE TAIL LIGHT FROM THIS THREE SECTION THE CENTER SECTION WHICH IS MOUNTED ON TAIL GATE IS STARTED TO HAVE WATER BUILDING UP IN IT AND I COULDNT FIGURE OUT AT FIRST THAN AFTER DOING LITTLE SEARCH ON INTERNET I CAME ACROSS LOT OF PEIPLE'S COMPLAINT WITH SAME PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION AND THAN SUDDENLY THE RIGHT LOWER CORNER OF CENTER TAIL GATE TAIL LIGHT JUST WENT OUT. FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM I AM DEFINITELY BLAMMING DODGE FOR INSTALLING BAD DEFECTIVE PARTS ON THEIR VEHICLES AND THEY SHOULD CHANGE THEM OUT UNDER RECALL FOR FREE BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY SHAME TO CHARGE 50,000$ FOR CAR THAT HAS FACTORY INSTALLED DEFECTIVE PARTS AND COMPANY IS NOT TAKING STEPS TO CHANGE THEM OUT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE REAR LIGHT CENTER LIGHT PANEL ON THE LIFT GATE (AKA RACETRACK LIGHTS) WERE NOT SEALED PROPERLY AND AS A RESULT WATER PENETRATED BOTH SIDES AND BURNED OUT ALL THE BULBS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE AND THE DEALER WILL NOT COVER. THIS IS A CLEAR DEFECT AND DEALER SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR SINCE, WITHOUT THESE LIGHTS, THE CAR IS NOT AS SAFE SINCE IT WOULD BE LESS LIKELY FOR A FOLLOWING DRIVER TO SEE ME BRAKING OR BACKING UP WITHOUT THESE LIGHTS FUNCTIONING.

NOTICED WATER & CONDENSATION COLLECTING IN LIFT GATE RACEWAY LIGHTING SYSTEM WITH TRUCK PARKED IN DRIVEWAY ON 3-23-18. LOWER RIGHT SIDE DOES NOT FULLY ILLUMINATE NOW. DRAINED BY REMOVING LOWER OUTSIDE SCREW & SEVERAL OUNCES RAN OUT (THANKS YOU-TUBE). BOUGHT VEHICLE IN EARLY JANUARY 2016 AS A NEW 2015 SXT. HAS ABOUT 24,000 MILES. I DRIVE THE TRUCK EASY AND THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. A QUICK YOU-TUBE SEARCH YIELDED THIS AS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY 2014, 2015 DURANGO MODELS.

POWER TRAIN
CAR DID NOT ENGAGE INTO PARK ON 3 OCCASIONS WHILE RUNNING, I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM ROLLING. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURED THE CAR WAS IN IN PARK AND IT ROLLED INTO A HOUSE. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DROPPING MY SON OFF AND I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND IT STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARD. I THEN HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE SAME SITUATION OCCUR AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATLEY AFTER THE FIRST OCCURANCE AND AGAIN AFTER THE SECOND.I WAS TOLD THEY COULDNT RECREATE THE THE ISSUE THEY DID NOT FIX ANY PARTS. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP NOW AND THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH A RECORDER TO SEE IF IT ROLLS AGAIN.
