What owners report
My 2021 Dodge Durango has an unresolved Safety Recall 66B / NHTSA Recall 24V-436 involving the radio software and rearview camera functionality. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealership and specifically asked about the unresolved recall and the required radio software update. The dealership attempted to perform the required updates but told me the radio would not accept or complete the updates. I was then told that the radio would need to be replaced at a cost of approximately $1,300. The vehicleâs center display and other radio functions continue to operate. Apple CarPlay connects and displays properly, including Apple CarPlay Maps, and the screen displays music informati
I am filing a safety complaint regarding the defective rear liftgate LED taillamp assembly (âracetrackâ 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 2018â2024 Dodge Durango vehicles. On October 27, 2026, I brought my vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealership and presented the applicable
Dodge Durango daytime running lights are a known problem. Running lights commonly stop working on 2020+ Dodge Durangoâs. 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.
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
