Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 19, 2012
OWN DURANGO BUILT JAN 2006, GAS IS PUT IN IT, CLICK OFF NOZZLE, GAS COMES BACK OUT FORCEFULLY OVER THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND MYSELF. IT IS TERRIFYING AND DANGEROUS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE 2005. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT. I BARELY DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM SO TERRIFIED TO PUT GAS IN IT. I TRIED TO EMAIL DODGE AND THE EMAIL DOES NOT GO THROUGH. I CALLED ON THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS FOR THE 2005 AND I CAN HAVE THE DEALER FIX IT AND MAYBE THEY WILL HELP. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE PART ALONE IS $550 AND I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY AND I DON'T HAVE 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. HERE IS THE RECALL: JANUARY 2009 -- CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 19,024 MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES. THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. VEHICLES FOUND TO HAVE A SUSPECT INLET CHECK VALVE WILL HAVE THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. THIS RECALL WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL QUERY, RQ08-005, CONDUCTED BY THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION. 09V-003 MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OF 2006: HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIX.NET/AUTOREPAIR/CAR_PROBLEMS/DODGE-DURANGO/2006/FUEL_SYSTEM_GASOLINESTORAGETANK_ASSEMBLYFILLER_PIPE_AND_CAP/ ____ HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIX.NET/AUTOREPAIR/CAR_PROBLEMS/DODGE-DURANGO/2006/FUEL_SYSTEM_GASOLINE/ ____ HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIX.NET/AUTOREPAIR/CAR_PROBLEMS/DODGE-DURANGO/2006/FUEL_SYSTEM_GASOLINESTORAGETANK_ASSEMBLY/ ____ HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIX.NET/AUTOREPAIR/CAR_PROBLEMS/DODGE-DURANGO/2006/FUEL_SYSTEM_OTHER/
Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 11, 2012
EVERY TIME AT FILL UP WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, WHEN THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF FUEL SHOOTS/SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK OPENING. DOING RESEARCH ON LINE I'VE DISCOVERED MANY OTHER DODGE DURANGO'S WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN A TSB # 14-001-12 AND NHTSA REF. # 10043594 ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND DURANGOS WITH CERTAIN VIN#S HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH THIS TSB. I THOUGHT ALL 2006 DURANGOS WOULD BE FIXED WITH THIS TECH. SERVICE BULLETIN. WHEN I INQUIRED AT THE DEALER ON 6/9/12 ABOUT HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED I WAS TOLD MY VIN # WAS NOT COVERED IN THE TSB. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAD A REP. CALL ME AND ASK WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THAT SHE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. I REFERRED TO THE TSB NOTICE AND SHE STILL ACTED LIKE SHE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALL 2006 DURANGOS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON PARTS AND REPAIRS LISTED IN TSB 14-001-12. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD VERY WELL RESULT IN FIRE AND DEATH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACTS OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED BECAUSE HER KEYS WERE TOO HEAVY. THE KEYS WERE REMOVED AND LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AGAIN AND THE CONTACT RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO TESTED THE FUEL PUMP BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. A MONTH LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,490.

Fuel/propulsion system, May 21, 2012
THE GAS TANK SPRAYS A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE BACK OUT OF THE TANK EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED. THIS IS A FLAMMABLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOM AS IN THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO RECALL, YET THE '06S ARE NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, YET DODGE WILL NOT CORRECT THIS, AND IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR TO THE CONSUMER. *TT

WHILE FUELING THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND A SECOND OR TWO LATER, ABOUT A HALF A GALLON OF GAS SPRAYS OUT. THIS PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE. I'VE TRIED TO FILL IT UP ON THE LOWEST SETTING AND I'VE TRIED PULLING THE NOZZLE OUT OF THE TANK SOME SO THE (HARMFUL) VAPORS CAN ESCAPE. IT IS HAPPENING ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME AND THIS IS NOT A SAFE THING TO HAVE GAS COMING FLYING BACK OUT AND GETTING OVER THE GROUND, MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE 2005 MODELS AND NOW THE 2006'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS PROBLEM IS WAY OUT OF CONTROL. I WILL BE POSTING MY YOUTUBE VIDEO ALONG WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO SHOW HOW UNSAFE THIS ISSUE IS AND HOW IT IS BEING HANDLED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED. HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE GETS RESOLVED BEFORE A REAL INJURY IS REALIZED. *JS

FUEL SPILL / SPIT BACK DURING REFUELING DUE TO FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV). OCCURS EVERY TIME WHEN REFILLING TANK. GAS HAS SPILLED ON MY CLOTHES AND CAUSED IRRITATION TO MY SKIN. IT ALSO SPILLS ALL OVER GROUND. THIS IS BOTH A FLAMMABLE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. CALLED DODGE CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE IN 2012. THEY ASSIGNED ME A CASE # AND CASE MANAGER.

BOUGHT USED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAVE FILLED UP 3 TIMES NOW, AND EVERY TIME, THE PUMP IS NOT ACTIVATED TO SHUT OF AND FUEL FLIES OUT O THE GAS TANK, GETTING ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP, AND SOMETIMES THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!! *TR

THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. IT DID NOT DO THIS FROM THE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP. WHEN FUELING THE CAR, IF YOU ATTEMPT TO FILL IT UP COMPLETELY, THERE IS ALWAYS A BACK SPLASH OF FUEL SPLASHING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND ONTO THE CAR, PAVEMENT AND OF COURSE, THE PERSON FILLING UP THE CAR. I AM NEVER ABLE TO COMPLETELY FILL UP THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS A CHANCE OF A FIRE OCCURRING. NOT SAFE AT ALL. MY RESEARCH FOUND THAT 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM (CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000), YET NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO FIX THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2006 MODELS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM! *TR

WITH MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILL TUBE BECAUSE OF A CHECK VALVE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. NO WARNINGS, NO LETTERS TO THE OWNERS OF THE DURANGO NOW TO ADVISE THEM TO USE CAUTION. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION NOW AND HAVE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE CORRECTED FOR ALL OF THE DURANGO OWNERS ON THE ROAD TODAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCNERN. THE PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED IN EARLIER MODELS, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE 2006 MODELS AS WELL.

BEGINNING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT BEGAN SPEWING GASOLINE EVERYTIME I FILLED MY CAR AT THE GAS STATION. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS SINCE THAT TIME AND EVEN THOUGH DODGE HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM, SINCE MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT LISTED AS ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REPAIR I AM OUT OF LUCK. I FILED AN APPEAL WITH DODGE AND IT SEEMS THE CRITERIA FOR WHETHER OR NOT THE REPAIR WILL BE COVERED IS BASED ON WHETHER I AM A GOOD DODGE CUSTOMER. QUESTIONS SUCH AS DID I USE THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE, DID I OWN OTHER DODGE CARS, ETC. I THINK THAT SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, THAT DODGE SHOULD STAND BEHIND ITS CARS AND MAKE THE REPAIR. THIS ATTITUDE GUARANTEES THAT I WILL NOT BE A DODGE CUSTOMER IN THE FUTURE. *JS

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH GASOLINE, THE GAS WILL COME SPILLING OUT ONCE THE TANK IS FULL. APPROXIMATELY A PINT OF GASOLINE COMES SQUIRTING OUT, DOUSING THE HANDLE, SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND LEAVING A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY FOR THIS TO NOT HAPPEN IS TO PREVENT FILLING THE CAR GAS TANK. I.E. ONE CANNOT LET THE GAS OVERFLOW MECHANISM DETERMINE WHEN IT IS FULL. A RECALL WAS ALREADY MADE FOR THE 2005 DURANGO UNDER RECALL ID# 05V034000. MY USED 2006 VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS
