Latest Durango SRT lighting complaints

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Lights

I am filing a safety complaint regarding the defective rear liftgate LED taillamp assembly ("racetrack" lighting) on my 2021 Dodge Durango GT. Sections of the LED lighting have burned out and no longer illuminate, reducing rear visibility and creating a potential collision hazard, particularly at night or during poor weather conditions. No dashboard warning lights or messages appeared to alert me to the failure. This failure is consistent with the manufacturing defect addressed by Stellantis in its recently...

announced warranty extension for certain 2018-2024 Dodge Durango vehicles. On October 27, 2026, I brought my vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealership and presented the applicable service bulletin. Despite the visibly failed LEDs and the documented warranty extension, dealership personnel stated that no warranty extension applied to my vehicle. Following an approximately 45-minute telephone conversation with Dodge Customer Care, I was informed that coverage is VIN-specific and that my vehicle was not included in the affected population. This is concerning because my vehicle falls within the specified model-year range and exhibits the same reported failure. Dodge representatives stated that nothing could be done and advised me to file a complaint with NHTSA. I believe the manufacturer's affected-vehicle population may be improperly limited, excluding vehicles experiencing the same defect. I request that NHTSA investigate the scope of this failure, the potential safety implications, and whether additional vehicles should be included in the manufacturer's corrective action. The vehicle can be made available for inspection upon request.

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Lights

Dodge Durango daytime running lights are a known problem. Running lights commonly stop working on 2020+ Dodge Durango's. It is not a replaceable bulb, the entire headlight assembly must be replaced. This is a safety concern as many people do not turn their lights on while driving in fog. Dodge needs to be held responsible for this faulty part.

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Electrical system Lights

The rear license plate light burned out and I was pulled over. I ordered 2 new lights and installed them. Neither worked. I put the old lights back in and then both stopped working. Then the race track light failed. Additionally, the front headlight race track also failed. This is a know manufacturing defect in these cars and nothing is being done about it. Took the vehicle to a repair shop and they said the entire rear race track needs replaced. The part is 1800 and back ordered until 2027. The labor is an additional 1500. This is totally unacceptable and the car should be repaired at no cost. There is literally a class action law suit going on over this well documented issue.

Day time running light gone out

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Lights

The driver side daytime running lamp no longer works after 55000 miles. The daytime running lamp (DRL) is an led light strip that requires the entire headlamp to be replaced. Anyone can inspect the issue at any time. The issue presents a risk to oncoming traffic who cannot see my entire vehicle especially at dawn / dusk and foggy days. The daytime running lamp is utilized to alert oncoming traffic and pedestrians that a car is approaching. The dodge dealership that I purchased the car from is aware of the...

issue and has neglected to resolve the issue. An independent auto mechanic has confirmed that the DRL is malfunctioning. There weren't any warning signs or messages. The light just shut off and has not turned back on. A new running lamp is $1200 and requires approximately $500 in labor to install. This is not an issue that is simply solved by changing out a $20 light bulb. The issue began about 2 months ago.

My vehicle is 5 years old with 54,000 miles on its and my driver's side headlight has failed. The headlamps are LED and in order to repair them, the entire housing needs a replacement, not just a bulb. My headlights need to be operational in order to drive safely at night. I have an appointment with the dealership to confirm the issue. There were not any warnings or failure symptoms.

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Lights

Drivers side running lights are not working. So you are forced to turn off daytime running lights or have one out. This seems to be a very common issue with dodge Durango for some reason.

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Lights

It's known that the DRL and race track tail lights go out faster than what they should. Also the tail lights once the lift gate is open on the edges of both sides are very sharp. My DRL on my 21 Durango with only 59k miles just went out. That is way to fast and the price to fix is insane

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Lights

I am submitting this complaint regarding an ongoing headlight/turn signal failure on my 2021 Dodge Durango involving the factory LED turn signals that are sealed/encased within the headlight assemblies. The driver-side front LED turn signal failed first, and now the passenger-side front LED turn signal has also failed. Because these LED turn signals are integrated into the sealed headlight assemblies, this is not a simple situation where a standard turn signal bulb can be replaced. The failure can require...

replacement of the headlight assembly, making what should normally be a basic safety-related lighting repair significantly more expensive. I am concerned that this may be a widespread defect affecting Dodge vehicles equipped with this style of LED headlight/turn signal assembly, rather than normal wear. Both sides failing on the same vehicle raises concerns regarding the durability and expected service life of the integrated LED turn signal components. Turn signals are an important vehicle safety feature used to communicate a driver's intentions to other motorists and pedestrians. When an integrated LED turn signal fails, other drivers may not be able to clearly see that the vehicle is turning or changing lanes, increasing the potential for an accident. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate complaints involving premature failure of the integrated/encased LED turn signals and headlight assemblies on the 2021 Dodge Durango and other similarly equipped Dodge vehicles. If these failures are determined to be caused by a common defect in the LED components, wiring, electronics, or headlight assembly design, I believe the manufacturer should be required to provide an appropriate remedy rather than requiring vehicle owners to bear the expense of replacing complete headlight assemblies for failed safety lighting components.

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Electrical system Lights

There is a daytime running light (DRL) malfunction with both headlights, it started with the drivers side slowly going out and now the passenger side is slowly going out. This is happening to several Dodge Durango owners of the 2021 model and can be found in the Dodge Durango forum online. The dealer stated it's an out of pocket expense because the DRL is out and the entire component needs replaced. This is inaccurate because when I turn off the DRL settings the turning signal flashes orange fast so this tells me...

it's not completely out and the headlights themselves work. My car has been this way for over a year because I can't afford to spend $1500+ per light replacement and for the dealer to claim it has to be an out of pocket expense is not okay because the point of LED lights are because they use less energy while lasting 25x as much so it doesn't make sense that they stopped turning on versus the non LED. While driving around I've seen SEVERAL Dodge Durango with a DRL out or both or one out and the other half way out so this confirms it's a manufacture issue. I came across forums of people with this issue and full extended warranty coverages where they're being told it's not covered. Dodge(Mopar) needs to address this for the consumer as it causes a safety issue when the left/right turning signals are not properly displayed. The car wouldn't pass a safety test. Myself and several Dodge Durango owners are currently at risk of being in a car accident due to this malfunction. The full assembly does not need replaced. Please look this over and issue a safety recall as my family and I are at risk because I can't afford a $3000 headlight replacement that isn't even needed. That's just the dealer and Mopar trying to make more $$$ while not worried about the safety of their customers.

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Lights

Drivers side daytime running lights out. I've noticed about a dozen more dodge durangos running lights are also out. Seems to be a manufactured problem. A lot of forums and conversations on Reddit complaining of the same. It cost about 500 dollars to replace the headlight and takes all day due to dismantling the whole front bimper and plastic components to get access. A really bad design
