Your driver's side headlight stopped working after the engine was restarted. The problem appears to be with the headlight assembly itself, though it hasn't been officially diagnosed or repaired yet. Getting the headlight assembly inspected and replaced should resolve the issue.

Your driver's side headlight has a burnt-out LED that can't be repaired individually—the entire headlight unit must be replaced. Because the LED light is dimmer than the working passenger side, you may have reduced visibility at night, creating a safety concern. Replacing the headlight unit requires removing the front fender and bumper, which can cost over $1,000 in parts and labor.

Your 2022 Durango's driver's side daytime running light has failed, and this appears to be a recurring issue affecting multiple vehicles. The LED cannot be replaced separately—Dodge's only solution is to replace the entire headlight assembly for over $2,000. This creates a safety concern in low-visibility conditions like fog, as oncoming drivers may misjudge which side of your vehicle is approaching, increasing the risk of a head-on collision.

Your daytime running lights (DRLs) have stopped working on both sides of your vehicle. Additionally, both of your turn signals are no longer functioning. This means other drivers may have difficulty seeing you during the day and won't be able to tell when you're turning. The fix will likely involve checking the wiring, fuses, or light bulbs related to your front lighting system.

Your 2022 Dodge Durango's rear racetrack light has water buildup inside it, which is causing the light to flicker and then stop working completely. You can see water pooling in the bottom corner and condensation on the lens. This appears to be a known issue affecting other Durango owners. The fix will likely involve replacing the light assembly or resealing it to prevent water intrusion.

The daytime running lights (DRLs) on the driver's side of your 2022 Dodge Durango may fail prematurely, even with low mileage. This appears to be a widespread issue across multiple model years. When the DRL fails, it cannot be repaired—the entire headlight assembly must be replaced, which costs around $1,200 per side.

Your driver's side daytime running light (the white LED strip) isn't working. This appears to be a common issue affecting multiple Durangos from recent model years. Dodge won't cover it under warranty, and fixing it requires replacing the entire headlamp assembly, which costs around $2,000 for parts and labor combined.

Your driver's side daytime running light has stopped working, and you've noticed water has gotten inside all of the rear lighting assemblies. You've tried adjusting settings but the light remains off. The repair will likely involve replacing the daytime running light bulb or assembly, and the rear light housings may need to be resealed or replaced to prevent water damage.

The daytime running lights on your driver's side headlamp have stopped working because the LED strips inside have failed. You may not notice any warning lights, but the driver's side DRL will be dark during the day, which could reduce your vehicle's visibility to other drivers. Fixing this typically requires replacing the entire headlamp assembly rather than just the LED strips.

Your driver's side daytime running light has stopped working and won't turn back on. This is a safety concern because daytime running lights work together with your headlights to make your vehicle more visible to other drivers. The fix will likely involve replacing the daytime running light bulb or module on the driver's side.

Your left daytime running light (DRL) has stopped working, which means oncoming vehicles may have trouble seeing your car during the day. The dealer has confirmed this is a known issue affecting other Dodge and Mopar vehicles with LED DRL strips. Fixing this will likely involve replacing the LED daytime running light assembly on the driver's side.

My Durango has been in and out the shop since May. It was the fuel pump and everything connected to it which is a pain in the rear. Also the design of the taillight should be assessed as well. It’s very pricy to fix when it gets the water and dark spots in it . All of us aren’t blessed with a house with a garage.

I have a daytime running light that went out on the driver-side front. It is an LED light designed to last for 30,000-50,000 hours. I have an estimate of more than $1,700 by Port Lavaca Dodge in PL, TX to replace the light from the dealer. I also purchased an extended warranty but it specifically excludes bulbs. I have also seen at least 2 other Dodge Durangos in our small town with the same bulb out. I have also looked at the complaints on the internet to see that this is not a secluded issue but a real problem. On 6/14/2025, I received a warning ticket #[XXX], from Texas DPS for this defect.

Dodge Durango Daylight rear led strip lights went out on driver side. We have only had the car for 2 years and we have under 30,000 miles. This could be a safety hazard. This can cause an accidents and should be fixed by the manufacturers. This is not a simple fix that the owner can do on its own. The owner would have removed the whole bumper to replace the whole light fixture. This can damage the car even more if the owner is not a properly trained mechanic. Also reviewing forums online and I see a lot of 2021 up new dodge Durango model are having the same issue and it's costing the owner $1000 plus to repair it at the dealership. That is outrageous and is not fair to the owner. Please please make this a recall. Thank you for taking the time out to review my concerns.

Headlight assembly’s short out causing blinkers not to work. This is for the 2021 and up Durango’s. I am on my 2nd headlight assembly replacement. I know other 2021+ Durango owners that have the same issue and I also see multiple newer Durango’s on the road with the same issue. Consumers should not have to pay out of pocket for this repair as it is apparently a common and known issue that cost thousands to fix. Dodge needs to make this right.

The backup camera display is very bright with little or no dimming at night. Backing during the day in any scenario (trailer or not) is acceptable. The camera display being this bright at night reduces rearward visibility with the mirrors due to a loss of night vision. The bright backup camera display is especially an issue when backing a trailer at night since you must use the side mirrors (trailer blocks the camera). As with any backup camera, it has limited usefullness (for backing) with a trailer connected and therefore is not used. In order to use the mirrors, I must cover the display with something to block the light and wait until my eyes readjust to the darkness before backing up. The dealership acknowledged that my infotainment system was problematic and they replaced the infotainment system due to this and other issues. However, the same issues are still happening and when brought to the dealership again they stated I must now wait for the next update (unknown timing). They did not state whether this issue (or any of the other infotainment issues this vehicle has) would be fixed in that update. This may be an issue with my specific vehicle due to the other previous issues, as I do not know if others exhibit this or not. The date selected below is the most recent occurrence of the issue. It happens each time I need to back the trailer at night.
