What owners wrote
After purchase, immediately we started having problems with headlight not working, then a rear light and brake light not working. Took in for recall on another part and they discovered it was the electrical, while driving and sitting at lights. Lights on dash, radio, headlights, etc, not work properly or all sudden decide not to work at all. We've taken it back now 5 times. Mechanic says the whole wiring harness is bad and cannot be repaired, but continues to say they called chrysler for parts to try to repair.
This winter we had a lot of snow. As the snow melted, water got into the tailgate light assembly. Now the bottom of the light were water has settled is out. I've noticed a lot of other durango's. 2016 and up with the same issue. Either on one side or both like mines. When I raise the tailgate water drains out but not completely. There are no visible cracks in the tailgate backup light or damage in anyway. I was curious to see if anyone else has reported this issue.
