I've read a bunch of complaints about the drivers side daytime running lights having an electrical issue and the lights stop working. It's a common theme that it's only the drivers side which indicates faulty wiring which could possibly lead to a fire sometime. Ours is now not functioning. It just stopped working yesterday and I started to investigate it on my own.

The drivers side daytime running light led failed at approximately 56,000 miles and less than 4 years.

The drivers side daytime running light led failed at approximately 56,000 miles and less than 4 years. The dealer (Dover Dodge) has informed me that the LED can’t simply be replaced , but the entire headlight has to be replaced for $1,400 dollars including labor. This component is not supposed to fail so early. It is unreasonable and premature for a component like this to fail and the only recourse is to replace the entire headlight assembly. I believe this is a design flaw that Dodge should recall or at the minimum extend the warranty on. It is not safe that my daytime running light will remain off on the drivers side. This condition will certainly lower my visible presence on the road.

The drivers side daytime running lamps no longer work. This feature is supposed to allow other drivers to see me during the day when headlights are not needed to see. I have checked the fuse and it is good. I also toggled the option off and back on in settings. Passenger side works but not the drivers. This part has to be faulty since everyone on the dodge forums state that only the drivers side on their vehicle quit working.

Drivers side LED running light died - this issue has been all over the internet on 2021 Durango SXT Plus, and other Durango vehicles with LED bulbs. Bulbs themselves cannot be replaced - the entire housing must be, and the price is extreme for the product. This is a Dodge safety issue, not a personal one!
