LIKE EVERY ONE OF THIS TYPE VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER EVERY TIME YOU FUEL UP IT SHUTS THE PUMP OFF THEN SPEWS A COUPLE CUPS OF GAS BACK OUT ONTO WHO EVER IS THERE OR ONTO THE GROUND. I KNOW YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS AND HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT. WHY. YOU RECALLED A FEW IN 2005 AND IN RESEARCH ON LINE YOU CAN SEE NOTHING GOOD HAPPENED. IT IS TIME TO FIX IT NOW. *TR

AS I WAS EXITING A HIGHWAY, MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SUDDENLY STALLED OUT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER IT STALLED. I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE. I NEARLY CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ENOUGH TO RUN INTO THE CURB TO STOP MY VEHICLE! I WAS NOT ABLE TO RE-START IT AND HAD TO BE TOWED. WHILE WAITING FOR POLICE TO ARRIVE, I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WAS TOWED TO A SHOP AND THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO START IT UP WITH NO PROBLEM THE NEXT MORNING. HE CHECKED EVERYTHING, AND RAN ALL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS - ALL CAME BACK SHOWING NO PROBLEMS. THERE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM - AND THERE ARE MAN, MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT ALL OVER THE INTERNET. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE, SINCE I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO STEER OR BRAKE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A FATALITY BEFORE THIS IS RECALLED AND FIXED?????? I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT NOW! *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 19, 2012
EVERYTIME MYSELF OR MY WIFE FILLS UP THE GAS TANK, IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF WITHOUT SPEWING GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WE HAVE MONITORED THE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS TESTIMONIES TO INCLUDE VIDEO OF THE SAME ISSUE. THE STATEMENT RELEASED THAT IT'S BECAUSE OF OPERATOR NEGLIGENCE IS COMPLETELY FALSE. IT'S TO THE POINT THAT WE HAVE TO HOLD THE HANDLE AT A SLOW FILL SPEED IN ORDER TO NOT LOSE FUEL ALL OVER THE GROUND. I HAVE LOST GALLONS WORTH OF FUEL NOT TO NEGATE THE ISSUE OF SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY EVERYTIME THE FUEL DUMPS. *TR

OUR DODGE CONSISTENTLY STALLS AND DIES WHEN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND/OR SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO MAKE TURNS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE DIES RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF BRAKES, STEERING,ETC. MULTIPLE TIMES THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR HAS CAUSED US TO JUMP THE CURB ALMOST HITTING TREES, ETC. WE'VE ALSO HAD THIS HAPPEN PULLING TRAILERS AND BOATS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I'D LIKE TO SEE DODGE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO, WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN APPROACHING FULL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON NUMEROUS CHRYSLER MAKES AND MODELS,INDICATING THE PROBLEM IS WITH A FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. ONLY CERTAIN SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS ARE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DESPITE THE FACT THAT THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED. CHRYSLER HAS DENIED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING MANUFACTURE DEFECT, I ASSUME TO KEEP FROM HAVING TO SPEND POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS NOT ONLY A FIRE HAZARD, BUT AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD A WELL. PLEASE TAKE THE APPROPRIATE STEPS TO REQUIRE THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION TO INCLUDE ANY VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT IN AN UPDATED RECALL.

THE FUEL TANK SPITS OUT ABOUT A QUART OF GAS WHEN REFILLING TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I HAVE REFILLED SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2006. I HAVE RESORTED TO FILLING ONLY 3/4 FULL FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS SINCE MY DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM TO THE LYNDSEY CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER IN ST ROBERTS, MO SEVERAL TIMES BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE 2006 DURANGO. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2006 DODGE DURANGO ON 11/2/2012 AND WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP AND IT OVER FLOWED ABOUT A 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS ON THE GROUND AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I FIRST THOUGHT MAYBE I DIDN'T HAVE IT ALL THE WAY IN THE GAS TANK. BUT THEN I GASSED UP AGAIN ON THE 10TH OF NOVEMBER 2012 AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I AM REALLY UPSET ABOUT THIS ISSUE. DODGE SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ANY OF MY FAMILY WE WILL BE SUING DODGE!!!!! I AM SURPRISED NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT YET. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!! I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT HATE THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE!!! *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 12, 2012
WHILE FUELING THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION I KEEP CONTINUING TO HAVE BACK-FLOW OF GAS PROPELLING OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT WHEN FILLING UP. IT IS HAPPENING EVERY-TIME AND I THINK THIS IS NOT A SAFE THING TO HAVE GAS COMING FLYING BACK OUT AND GETTING OVER THE GROUND & MYSELF. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE 2005 MODELS WHICH HAVE A RECALL AND NOW THE 2006-2008 MODELS HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN IF MANUFACTURED AFTER FEB 20006 & ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT COVERED BUT HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 29, 2012
WHENEVER I PUT GAS IN THE TANK, IT COMES BACK OUT WHEN IT REACHES FULL. IT SPRAYS AND SPLASHES OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. I AVOID THIS NOW BY FILLING THE TANK VERY SLOWLY FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF GALLONS AND TRYING TO LISTEN FOR ANY GAS THAT MAY BE COMING BACK OUT AT ME. IT STILL COMES OUT SOMETIMES. EITHER WAY, THIS ISN'T RIGHT. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 17, 2012
SINCE JULY OF 2011 AND EVERY GAS STATION STOP SINCE THEN MY WIFE AND I AVOID FILLING UP OUR TANK, AS THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP FLOW OF GAS AT ANY PUMP WHEN IT REACHES FULL. INSTEAD IT GURGLES UP AND SPRAY FUEL BACK AT THE PERSON FILLING TANK (ME USUALLY), DOWN SIDE OF VEHICLE AND OF COURSE ALL OVER THE GROUND. AFTER REVIEWING OTHER REPORTS, IT IS APPARENT THERE ARE MAJOR AND CONSISTENT ISSUES OF THIS TYPE FOR THE 2006 DURANGO AND RECALLS FOR SAME ISSUE, ONLY FOR 2005 MODEL. SINCE THEN EVERYTIME WE FILL UP, IT IS A GUESSING GAME HOW CLOSE, AND I RUN BACK AND FORTH FROM PUMP HANDLE TO INTERIOR GAS GAUGE, BACK TO PUMP HANDLE AND SO ON. I'M SURE IT'S AMUSING TO EVERYONE ELSE THAT DOESN'T OWN THIS CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR

AS I HAVE FOUND ONLINE, WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY DURANGO HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER OWNERS THAT ALSO CAUSED NEAR MISSES AND SOME ACCIDENTS. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE IN THE RAIN, I HIT A PUDDLE NO DEEPER THAN 3-4 INCHES AND ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS HAVE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND MANY TIMES CAME VERY CLOSE TO IMPACTING OTHER VEHICLES. THIS HAPPENS ON STRAIGHT AND TURNING SITUATIONS. AS WITH THE OTHER REPORTS, THERE ARE NO LEAKS FOUND OR DETECTED. ON TWO OCCASIONS MY REPAIR SHOP HAS CONTACTED BY PHONE DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND NO INFORMATION WAS GIVEN EXCEPT THAT THEY ALSO HAVE HAD MANY REPORTS BUT COULD OFFER NO EXPLANATION OR REPAIR INSTRUCTION. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHENEVER YOU PUT FUEL IN THE CAR, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS SPILLING AND SPRAYING OUT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL ON THE PERSON AND THE GROUND. THIS DOES THIS EVERY TIME WHEN FILLING UP THE CAR. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND THIS CREATES SAFETY CONCERNS. DODGE ISSUED A RECALL ON 2005 MODELS RECALL ID#78716 FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT HASN'T ADDRESSED THE ISSUES WITH ANY OF THE 2006 AND 2007'S. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 8, 2012
OVER THE LAST 12 AND 1/2 MONTHS, IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH FILLING THE GAS TANK. EACH TIME THAT I FILL UP MY TANK, THE GAS WILL EITHER SPILL BACK OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR, SPOUT OUT LIKE IT IS SPRAYING IN THE AIR OR IT WILL JUST COME BACK OUT AND ROLL DOWN THE SIDES OF THE TRUCK. THIS HAS BECOME A CONTINUING ISSUE AND WHEN I CALLED THE DODGE PLACE WITHIN MY AREA, THEY CLAIMED TO NOT KNOW OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM OR A RECALL. BUT AS I STARTED MY RESEARCH, I LOCATED MANY PEOPLE IN MY SAME PREDICAMENT. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED A PROBLEM WHEN LEAVING WORK BY SIMPLY UNLOCKING MY 06 DURANGO (ALL WHEEL DRIVE/ 4 WHEEL DRIVE) WITH THE KEY FOB THE TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MOTOR STARTS SHIFTING THE TRUCK IN AND OUT FROM AWD TO 4WD AND I HAVEN'T EVEN OPENED THE DOOR!! AS THE WEEKS PASS IT DOES THIS SEVERAL MORE TIMES BUT WHAT IS MORE UNNERVING IS THAT AS I AM DRIVING AT HWY SPEEDS, 60 TO 70 MPH, OR ANY SPEED REALLY, MY "4 WHEEL LOW" LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL START TO FLICKER AS IF IT IS TRYING TO SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL LOW UN-COMMANDED. AFTER SEARCHING SEVERAL FORUMS I FIND THIS TO BE A COMMON CHRONIC ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH DURANGOS AND A HUGE SAFETY RISK. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT MAX SPEED FOR A 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE THAT IS IN 4 WHEEL LOW IS ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH, THE GEAR RATIO IS EXTREMELY LOW AND INTENDED FOR MAXIMUM TRACTION WHEN OFF ROAD. IF THIS VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 4 WHEEL LOW AT 70 MPH ALL 4 WHEELS WILL COME TO A STOP AND THE DRIVER WILL MOST LIKELY LOOSE TOTAL CONTROL. AT THAT SPEED THIS IS A DANGEROUS COMBINATION. I HAVE READ OF THIS HAPPENING TO DURANGOS WITH SERIOUS DAMAGE AND HUGE EXPENSE FOR THE OWNER. THIS VERY SCENARIO HAPPENED TO A CO-WORKERS WIFE WITH HIS KIDS IN THEIR 06 DURANGO, LUCKILY SHE WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30 TO 35 MPH AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. NOW MY KEY FOB WONT EVEN OPEN THE DOOR, IT ACTS AS IF ITS DEAD OR BROKEN. I HAVE TO USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE TRUCK MANUALLY WHICH SETS OFF THE ALARM EVERY TIME I UNLOCK THE DOOR. THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I STARTED WITH IS TIED TO THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ELECTRICALLY, ANOTHER COMMON CHRONIC PROBLEM. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER DENIES HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM OR A FIX AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ DODGE DENIES IT AS WELL. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A FAMILY'S DEATH FROM ONE OF THESE VEHICLES FOR DODGE TO OWN UP TO THIS AND RECOGNIZE THEY HAVE A VERY WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM OVER SEVERAL YEARS MANUFACTURING! *TR
