EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK, THE NOZZLE DOESN'T SHUT OFF, AND GAS GOES ALL OVER ME AND THE GROUND. NOT TO MENTION ON THE PAINT OF THE CAR,CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE PAINT. ALSO IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AT A GALLON A WEEK ON THE GROUND. THE 2005 MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON, SEEMS REASONABLE TO RECALL THE 2006. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WHERE A SPARK COULD END UP CAUSING AN EXPLOSION. *TR

EVERY TIME THIS VEHICLE IS FILLED TO FULL IT SPEWS GAS OUT OF THE TANK AT THE PUMP OPERATOR RESULTING IN GAS ON THE PERSON FUELING VEHICLE. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL SERVICE STATIONS THIS IS NOT A PUMP ISSUE THE ISSUE IS WITH THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL STATION ATTENDANTS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THEM. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY BURNED BY A SPARK. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE LAST YEAR MY FUEL TANK SPRAYS OUT GAS AFTER THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF. EVEN IF I DON'T USE THE GAS PUMP AUTO SHUTOFF WHILE FILLING AS SOON AS THE TANK IS FULL IT SPRAYS GAS OUT AND ALSO POURS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. I ALWAYS NEED TO TAKE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID AND WASH OFF MY VEHICLE AND POUR IT ONTO THE GROUND SO THERE IS NOT A PUDDLE OF GAS SITTING ON THE GROUND. NOW I ONLY FILL MY TANK 1/2 FULL WHEN FUELING TO AVOID THIS ISSUE. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD ON A SIDE STREET AND COAST DOWN INTO A PARKING LOT. BY THIS POINT THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE VEHICLE VENTS ON THE DASHBOARD. WE THOUGHT MAYBE A PART BROKE AT FIRST. MY HUSBAND OPENED THE HOOD AND THERE WAS NO VISIBLE FIRES AND NOT A LOT OF SMOKE. SMOKE STARTED COMING MORE AND MORE QUICKLY OUT OF THE VENTS. WE GOT OUR 3 CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR. BY THIS POINT SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT. MY HUSBAND RAN INTO A BUILDING AND CALLED FOR HELP. THE BUSINESS GAVE US A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AS MY HUSBAND RAN BACK TO THE DURANGO FLAMES HE SAW THE DASHBOARD START TO COLLAPSE. NEXT THING WE KNEW FLAMES WERE FLYING UP THE FRONT WINDOW. HE USED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON IT. THE FIREMAN ARRIVED AND HELPED MAKE SURE THE FIRE WAS COMPLETELY OUT. *TR

WHILE FUELING OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WHEN THE VEHICLE TANK BECAME FULL THE FUEL NOZZLE ON THE PUMPED KICKED OFF, BUT THEN FUEL BEGAN SPEWING OUT OF THE VEHICLE FUELING SPOUT DUE TO AN APPARENT FAILURE OF THE TANK VALVE FLAP THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS OCCURRENCE. APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TO 1/2 OF A GALLON OF GAS SPEWS OUT EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, MOSTLY ON THE CAR, BUT ALSO ON MINE OR MY WIFE'S HANDS AND SHOES. THIS IS PROBABLY THE 90-100TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OUR VEHICLE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN LATE 2006, AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2006 DURANGO OWNERS ON THIS SITE AND THE DODGE DURANGO CLUBS WEB SITES THAT COMPLAIN OF THE SAME FAILURE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE 2005 DURANGO WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME FAILURE, BUT THE 2006 HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A FIRE OR SOMEONE GETTING HURT OR KILLED TO GET THIS CORRECTED. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE NEW FOR THIS OCCURRENCE TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK UP. THE DEALERSHIP IGNORES THE ISSUE, AND CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED, AND MAY REFUND ME IF IT IS FOUND TO BE A FAULTY PART. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $600 THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO DO THIS WORK (DRAINING AND REMOVING THE TANK). SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND HELP US OUT WITH IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR A FIRE IS CAUSED BY IT. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 12, 2012

WHEN TRYING TO PUT FUEL TO FILL UP THE CAR GAS EXPLODES OUT OF TANK. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME WHEN TRYING TO PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE, IT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST A HALF GALLON EACH AND EVERY TIME, IT GETS ALL OVER ME THE VEHICLE THE GROUND. IT'S TO THE POINT WERE I CAN'T EVEN FILL UP, FUEL SHOULDN'T COME OUT WHEN FILLING A VEHICLE UP AND WITH THE SUMMER MONTHS UPON US THIS IS A GREAT HAZARD. I WOULD FIGURE THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AND WOULD NEED TO BE FIXED, 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING FOR THE 2006 DODGE DURANGOS. *TR

MY DODGE DURANGO HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR AWHILE. I FINALLY DID SOME ONLINE READING OF POSTS AND FOUND OTHER DRIVERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALMOST EVERY DAY WHEN I START MY SUV THE RPM'S REV UP AND DOWN. IT ALSO DOES THIS WHEN I AM SITTING AT A DRIVE-THU LINE, STOP SIGN, OR IN TRAFFIC. IT ALSO HAS DIED ON ME WHEN DRIVING. MOSTLY WHEN COMING FROM A STOP, BUT HAPPENS WHEN MAKING TURNS, OR SOMETIMES JUST FOR NO REASON AT ALL. IF IT DOESN'T STALL IT HESITATES. IT ALSO WILL JUMP FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP. LIKE I SAID THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AWHILE. WE HAVE SERVICED THE SUV FOR REPAIR EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE REPAIR SHOP THEN FIXES OR CLEANS CERTAIN PARTS/AREAS, JUST FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. YESTERDAY (JUNE 27, 2012) IT STOPPED WORKING WITH ALL MY CHILDREN IN THE SUV AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. IT IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN A SHOP WHILE THE TECHS SCRATCH THEIR HEADS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jun 26, 2012
ANYTIME WE FILL THE DURANGO AND GAS COMES BACK OUT WHEN THE NOZZLE IS REMOVED. THERE IS SO MUCH GAS THAT COMES OUT THAT WE HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP FROM THE GROUND AND IT HAS CAUSED BUBBLES IN THE PAINT WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN SURFACE RUST. DEALER THAT WE PURCHASED FROM CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD US THERE WAS A CLOGGED FILTER. WE GOT THE FILTERS REPLACED AND WHEN MY HUSBAND FILLED IT UP TODAY 6/26/2012 HE SAID AT LEAST 1/2 GALLON OF GAS CAME BACK OUT OF THE CAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS LEAVING GAS ALL ON THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN KEEP THE GAS FROM COMING OUT IS TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE AFTER EVERY SINGLE GALLON. THE FUEL SENSOR INSIDE THE CAR WILL EVEN REGISTER FULL AT 16 GALLONS OF GAS WHEN THE TANK IS 26 GALLONS. WE ARE WASTING ALL KINDS OF MONEY FROM THE GAS COMING UP, COST OF REPAIRING THE PAINT AND REMOVING RUST AND THE MONEY WE SPENT ON REPLACING FILTERS THAT HAVE MADE THIS ISSUE WORSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT WAS FIXED IN 2005 VEHICLES BUT NOTHING FOR 2006 AND HIGHER EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. SOME DODGE DEALERSHIPS ARE EVEN CALLING OWNERS LIARS SAYING THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANY ISSUE LIKE THIS OR ANY RECALLS EVER FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE DODGE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE. THE GAS THAT SPILLS IS GOING TO END UP CAUSING A FIRE AND KILLING PEOPLE ONE OF THESE DAYS. *JB
