Owner Complaints (7)
Your front turn signals have stopped working, creating a safety hazard since other drivers won't know when you're turning. Multiple mechanics have confirmed this isn't just a burned-out bulb—the entire turn signal assembly needs to be removed and replaced. This happened without any warning lights or messages appearing on your dashboard first.

The tail light assembly on your 2023 Dodge Durango has sharp, protruding edges that can cut or gouge people reaching into the trunk or back seat area. This has caused injuries to multiple family members who were simply trying to retrieve items from the vehicle, resulting in bleeding wounds and scarring. The design appears to pose an unnecessary safety hazard to passengers. A fix would likely involve redesigning or repositioning the tail light housing to remove sharp edges or modify the trim panel.

Your daytime running lights (DRLs) stopped working within 3 years, even though LED lights are supposed to last 10-15 years. This reduces visibility to other drivers during the day. Dealerships are saying you need to replace the entire headlight system at a cost of nearly $2,000, and your extended warranty won't cover it. The repair could involve replacing the LED bulbs, checking the electrical wiring, inspecting fuses, or replacing the ballast or entire headlight assembly.

My left rear tail light has a water intrusion issue. From calling the dealership they stated their likely solution would be to drill a weep hole in it (HA!). Reading online this is a massive issue, a recall needs to be issued on these vehicles as it is a known defect with safety a cost impacts.
The daytime running light on the driver's side of your Durango is not working. This appears to be an ongoing issue, and it's not covered under the Max Care warranty.
