The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Durango. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V332000 (Electrical System, Vehicle Speed Control). The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made tapping sounds. Additionally, the brakes made squeaking sounds while the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer and diagnosed with axle failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
The lift gate light housing assembly develops cracks due to design flaw, allowing housing assembly to fill with water and cause lights to malfunction. The housing assembly is available for inspection upon request. The rear lights of the vehicle are not functioning as intended and can cause rear end vehicle collision, which car cause injury or worst to the passengers. The problem has been verified by my local Dodge dealership and Chrysler has been made aware of the issue as well. They have replaced the housing assembly 2 times for me in the past but Chrysler has not actually done anything to my knowledge about the design flaw and root cause of the light housing cracking. I currently have water intruding into my now 3rd housing and this time both the dealership and Chrysler are saying they are not going to do anything about it and if I want the cracked housing replaced then I need to pay for parts and labor myself, but what is the point of doing that if its a design flaw and its only a matter of time before the new housing cracks again. I am not the only Dodge Durango owner with this issue, these are many other people reporting this issue on Dodge Durango Forums. The vehicle has been inspected by my local Dodge dealership but not by any other entity. I don't have the maintenance records for the first time this happened, but my local Dodge dealership does. I think the first time the problem was reported was October 2019, and has now happened 2 more times.

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.
