Fuel system, Gasoline, Mar 17, 2014
EVERY TIME WE FILL UP, THE GAS SPILLS OUT. BY THE TIME THE NOZZLE CLICKS, IT'S TOO LATE AND THE FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE TANK. MY DAUGHTER WAS NEAR ME WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME! I'VE USED VARIOUS GAS STATIONS, BUT IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. IT HAS TO BE THE INLET CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK. IT IS NOT USER ERROR. NOW I HAVE TO SIT THERE FOREVER AND PUMP SLOW, OR JUST GO WITH HALF A TANK, AND IN COLORADO, IT'S NOT SAFE TO DO THAT IF WE BREAK DOWN IN THE COLD AND SNOW. NO ONE FILLS THE TANK EXCEPT ME DUE TO OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. I CALLED DODGE YEARS AGO AND THEY SAID IT WOULD FALL ON ME TO PAY FOR THEIR PROBLEM! NOW, IT'S JUST GETTING ANNOYING THAT THIS STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Mar 14, 2014
THE SHUT OFF VALVE HAS NOT WORKED CORRECTLY FOR OVER THE PAST YEAR. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK GAS IS SPIT BACK ON THE CAR AND DRIVEWAY SERVICE. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF I PAUSE FOR A PERIOD DURING FILLING THE TANK TO LET PRESSURE RELEASE. MY DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS, HAD TO BELIEVE WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I WOULD LIKE DODGE TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. HELP....... *TR
Engine, Mar 12, 2014
THIS VEHICLE DIES RANDOMLY GOING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN IT IS WET OUT IT IS WORSE. WITH NO WARNING THE VEHICLE JUST STALLS. DURING THIS YOU LOSS ALL CONTROLS OF THE VEHICLE. BUT YOU CAN TURN IT OVER AND IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES AND THERE DURANGO'S ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I HAVE HAD IT TO A DODGE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT ARE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE IN MY VEHICLE! *TR

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SPILLS GAS EVERYTIME I FILL IT COMPLETELY UP. I INSERT THE FUEL NOZZLE FROM THE GAS PUMP PUT IT ON HALF FILL AND LET THE FUEL FLOW UNTIL IT SHUTS OFF AT THE HANDLE ABOUT 2 SECONDS LATER FUEL COMES SQUIRTING OUT OF THE DURANGOS GAS RECEPTACLE! IT DOES THIS EVERYTIME YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP, AND HAS DONE IT SINCE 2008. DODGE NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS!!!! *TR
Power train, Electrical system, Feb 20, 2014
UNFORTUNATELY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DURANGO FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF PURCHASE IN 2006. THE CURRENT ISSUE AND IS VERY SCARY WHILE DRIVING IS THE 4 LO LIGHT WILL QUICKLY FLASH RAPIDLY FOR SEVERAL FLASHES AND THEN STOPS. THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND SEEMS TO BECOME ENGAGED IN 4 LO ALL ON ITS OWN. IT ALSO MAKES A NOISE WHEN UNLOCKING VEHICLE THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING UNDER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. IT HAS BE DOING THIS MORE FREQUENTLY. CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THERE IS NO WARNING OR CONTROL. ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS THE STEERING IS AFFECTED. IN A PARKING LOT RECENTLY I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A SHARP LEFT TURN AND THE VEHICLE JUST LOCKED UP COMPLETELY AND EVEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAVE HAD MANY TIMES TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR "INSTRUMENT PANEL" RECALLS. IT REALLY SEEMS THAT THIS CAR HAS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS AS THIS AGAIN SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE AND POTENTIALLY COULD BE FATAL IF DRIVING AND HAVING COMPLETE LOSE OF CONTROL. I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND ALSO NOTED THAT MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR DODGE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE REPEATED RECALLS AND REPAIRS THAT DO NOT SEEM TO HELP THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND HOPE THAT A RECALL WILL BE DONE BEFORE THERE ARE INCREASED ACCIDENTS OR WORSE DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Structure, Feb 18, 2014
WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, WHEN TANK IS FULL, GAS WILL SPILL OUT FILLER NECK. THE SPILLED GAS SPLASHES EVERYWHERE, AND HAS BEEN ON THE BODY BELOW THE FILLER NECK ENOUGH TIMES THAT IT HAS CAUSED THE PAINT TO LIFT, AND A RUST HOLE TO FORM IN THE FENDER. NO OTHER RUST ON VEHICLE. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BROKEN ON PASSENGER SIDE, WITH HEAT SHIELD DETACHED. DEALER REPORTS THAT DRIVERS SIDE ARE DETERIORATED AND MAY FAIL IN THE NEAR FUTURE. RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT OF ALL BOLTS/STUDS THAT WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK OFF DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE MATERIAL USED BY CHRYSLER. WILL REQUIRE DRILLING OUT BOLTS FROM HEADS AT A MINIMUM COST OF OVER $1400 PER THE EXPERIENCE OF THE DEALER. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY CONSIDER THIS NORMAL WEAR... EVEN WHEN THE OWNER IS REQUIRED TO DRILL THE BOLTS OUT. THIS IS A FAILURE IN THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN OF A VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT CREATES DANGERS DUE TO EXTREME EXHAUST TEMPERATURE, EXHAUST GASES AND THE POTENTIAL FAILURE OF AN ENGINE ... ALL DUE TO THE DETERIORATION OF INEXPENSIVE BOLTS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF CUTTING CORNERS TO SAVE A DOLLAR WHILE COSTING THE OWNERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM EXIST ON FORUMS AND DISCUSSION BOARDS BUT THE MANUFACTURER IGNORES THE DEFECT AND DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, THEN FUEL POURS OUT OF THE FILLER. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY GAS STATION, AND ALMOST EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE TANK. THIS AN AN EXTREME HAZARD AND A VERY COSTLY INCONVENIENCE. EVERY TIME WE FILL UP, GAS IS WASTED, THE CAR BECOMES A DANGEROUS AND HORRIBLY SMELLING HAZARD. DODGE RECALLED THE 2005 DURANGO FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT HAS YET TO DO THE SAME FOR THE FOLLOWING MODEL YEAR! *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BY ITSELF INTO 4WD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, AND WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING UNATTENDED, WITH THE IGNITION OFF. THE TRANSFER CASE MAKES AN AUDIBLE NOISE, THEN THE WHEELS BECOME VERY HARD TO TURN WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

YOU CAN NOT FILL THE GAS TANK OVER 3/4 FULL AS IT WILL RESULT IN A MASSIVE FUEL SPILLAGE OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE BACKWASH OUT OF THE TANK WILL COVER YOU AND THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND YOU WITH FUEL. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT KIND OF FUEL STATION IS FILLING IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. IF THERE WAS ANY KIND OF SPARK A LARGE FIRE WOULD OCCUR. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS AN INNUMERABLE AMOUNT OF ISSUES LIKE A CRACKED PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FROM A BAD BOLT AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE THE RADIO AND OVERHEAD LIGHT ONLY WORK WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT - BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THIS TRANSMISSION. THIS MORNING I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO LEAVE THE DRIVEWAY AND AS I SHIFTED TO GO INTO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. IT WOULDN'T GO INTO DRIVE, REVERSE OR EVEN NEUTRAL. THE WHEELS LOCKED UP COMPLETELY LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. THE CAR SAT IN THE ROAD UNTIL I COULD GET A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO A CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. LAST WEEK I HAD TAKEN IT TO A DIFFERENT CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP TO CHECK A TRANSMISSION CODE THAT CAME UP UNDER A GENERAL P-007 CODE WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NO TRANSMISSION CODES WERE PRESENT IN THE BIG COMPUTER IN THE SHOP...THE GUY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. THIS MORNING THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON AT ALL. SINCE WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL HAVE ACTED A LITTLE FLAKY BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS, VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I WOULD THINK THE EPA WOULD MAKE DODGE MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL. LUCKILY WHEN I HAD THE VEHICLE IN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX; THE DEALER DID SAY HE COULD ORDER THE PART TO FIX THAT. IT WOULD BE COVERED AT NO COST TO ME. THEN WHY WASN'T IT RECALLED IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? INTERESTING?! I AM THINKING THAT I MAY NEVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN.
