Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Water is inside the lift-gate race track lighting assembly. Warranty does not cover water intrusion of which this is. Next month my vehicle will be 2 years old so if I don't it fixed at a cost of $1,100 the lights will soon be moldy, shorted out or causing the liftgate to rust out. This should be a warranty fix regardless of age or miles.”

“Dodge racetrack lighting has cracks at upper left and upper right corners. Causing water to enter housing and short out a section of lights. Thankfully it has not caught fire. I see the same section of lights out on other Dodge durangos. The dealership told me the crack was caused by me and there is nothing they can do about it and the cost would come out of my pocket. When inspected the cracks are uniform in shape and size.”

“Dodge wants to charge $300 to swap out the bulb on the drivers' side blinker which can be done easily in about 10 minutes with regular or LED bulb, however it seems that after having swapped out the bulb which shorted out on the terminal connector itself (why is my brand new car causing shorts first of all) so I installed an LED on the right side as well. However, that caused problems saying the right blinker is out. …”
