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.

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.

Your left daytime running light (DRL) has stopped working, which means oncoming vehicles may have trouble seeing your car during the day.

Electrical System →3 issues
Your car's radio screen frequently malfunctions, causing your backup camera to stop working until you power cycle the screen—which sometimes doesn't work at all or takes several minutes to respond. The dealership confirmed this is a known design flaw where the radio overheats and damages internal components. This is a safety concern because your backup camera may not display when needed, and overheating components pose a potential fire risk.

Your driver's side front LED turn signal stopped working at 42,890 miles, making it difficult for other drivers to see when you're turning left. A warning light appears on your dashboard indicating the problem. Your extended warranty doesn't cover headlight assembly replacement, though it does list a "concealed headlamp module" as covered, and the dealership hasn't provided a clear explanation for why the turn signal repair isn't covered. The repair will likely involve replacing the LED turn signal bulb or the entire headlight assembly unit.
