WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPITS OUT AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. I FIRST THOUGHT IS WAS A DEFECT WITH THE FUEL NOZZLE. BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EACH TIME I FILL UP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. THERE ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS ON YTUBE WHICH CLEARLY SHOW THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT THE SERVICE STATION WITH THE ENGINE AND IGNITION IS OFF. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THE RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. PLEAS ADVISE ON WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET CHRYSLER TO RECTIFY THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. THANK YOU.

TWO DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN MY SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN IT SWITCHED ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF. AND THEN I HERD A LOAD POP AND IT STARTED SMOKING. I MANAGED TO GET PULLED OVER WHILE IT WAS YANKING ME TO THE LEFT THE HOLE TIME. I POPPED THE HOOD TO FINED WHAT SMELLED LIKE BURNED TRANNY FLUID ALL OVER MY ENGINE. I MANAGED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO THE EXIT IN FRONT OF ME AND HAD IT TOWED FROM THE GAS STATION BACK HOME. I HAD MY MECHANIC FROM THE CAR LOT I BOUGHT IT FROM COME AND TAKE A LOOK HE SAID THE TRANSFER MOTOR WAS READY A FAULTY VOLTAGE AND TRIGGERED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND GOING 75 MPH WHEN IT ENGAGED BLEW MY TRANSFER CASE AND MAYBE MORE. HE HAVE TO GET IT BACK TO THE SHOP TO FIND OUT MORE. I LOOKED ON SEVERAL FORUMS TO FIND THAT FOR OVER THE PAST 5 YRS A LOT OF DODGE DURANGO OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. THEY REPLACED FRONT CONTROL MODULE, TRANSFER CASE, TRANSFER CASE MOTOR AND HAD IT REWIRED. SOME DID PART AND LATER HAD TO DO IT ALL JUST TO FIX. IF I HAD NOT HAD DURBY DRIVING EXPERIENCE WHEN THIS HAPPENED I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF CONTROLLING A VEHICLE THAT YOU HAVE SHIFT ON ITS OWN AND PUT YOU ALL OVER THE ROAD.

ON MY VEHICLE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WILL AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS SWITCHED INTO 4LO A FEW TIMES WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE IS ALSO A CLICKING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE GEARS ARE SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH, WHEN I USE THE REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK ON THE KEY FOB. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW WHY IT WAS HAPPENING AND SAID MAYBE I SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF THAT WOULD DO ANYTHING. SO I LOST OVER $100 AND GOT NOTHING OUT OF IT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT UNPLUGGING AT THE TRANSFER CASE WOULD STOP THE ISSUE BUT THE 4 LO AND OTHER SWITCHES WOULD NOT WORK AND THE SERVICE 4X4 LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON. SINCE I HAVE TO DRIVE I HAD HIM DO THIS AND IT DID FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOW I DON'T HAVE ANY 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHICH REALLY SUCKS LIVING IN UTAH WITH ALL THE SNOW. THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SWITCH INTO 4 LO WHEN I WAS DOING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
