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. This affects the whole electrical system. Dodge is aware of the problem and the fix is to have the consumer pay $1100 to replace it even though it will happen again.
