I HAVE A DODGE DURANGO 06, LATELY ALMOST EVERYTIME I'M FILLING UP GAS, THE GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM THE TANK AND SPILLS OUT. I SEE THAT DURANGO 05 HAD BEING RECALL ALREADY FOR THE EXACTLY SAME PROBLEM TO PREVENT POSSIBLE FIRE. I CHECK INTERNET AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM DURANGO OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE OF SPILL GASOLINE WHEN REFUELING. A CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAID THAT WITHOUT RECALL THE CANNOT DO ANYTHING. *TR
Power train, Sep 20, 2010
THE VEHICLE STARTED OUT BY SHIFTING ON ITS OWN WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE STOPPED. THEN IT BEGAN SHIFTING ON ITS OWN EVEN WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF. IT WOULD SHIFT INTO 4 LO OR 4 HIGH TOTALLY ON ITS OWN WHEN STOPPED. THEN FROM THERE IT STARTED SHIFTING INTO 4 LO OR HIGH WHILE DRIVING AND IT WOULD SOUND LIKE SOMEBODY HAD HIT THE VEHICLE FROM BEHIND AND IT WOULD SHOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN HIT BUT ALL BECAUSE IT WAS SHIFTING ON ITS OWN. I TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT IT WOULD NOT REPEAT ITSELF WHILE HE HAD IT AND HE HAD NOT HEARD OF SUCH A THING BEFORE, SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT REVERSE WITHOUT GIVING IT A LOT OF GAS AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT TURN WHEN I NEEDED IT TO, PERHAPS BECAUSE IT WAS IN 4LO OR HI. AND OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD JUMP FORWARD WITH NO WARNING OR CONTROL MAKING SCREECHING SOUNDS FROM THE TIRES. THEN ONE DAY I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND IT SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 4 LO AND THRUSTED THE CAR FORWARD SEVERAL FEET AND LUCKILY I WAS FAR ENOUGH BACK FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME THAT I DIDN'T HIT IT. HOWEVER AT THAT POINT IT WOULD BARELY DRIVE SO I SLOWLY GOT IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 4 LO THE ENTIRE DAY, SO I HAD TO EVENTUALLY HAVE IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. BY THE TIME IT GOT THERE IT DROVE FINE AGAIN AND HE COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. BUT WHILE PARKED IN HIS LOT, IT BEGAN TO CHANGE GEARS, ON ITS OWN, AND WHILE TURNED OFF. HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS OF 2006 DODGE DURANGOS HAD REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND HE CALLED TO LET US KNOW THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT HE COULD NOT REPAIR IT AND TO FILE A REPORT ON IT AND THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HE SAID IT WAS SHIFTING ITSELF INTO OTHER GEARS WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS OFF OR ON AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LEFT IT IN PARK AS IT COULD PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AND STILL ROLL EVEN WHILE OFF. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO HELP AT THIS TIME. THIS IS MY ONLY WAY TO WORK AT THIS TIME. *TR

MY 2006 DURANGO HAS THE COMMON FUEL OVER-FLOWING PROBLEM. UPON COMPLETION OF FILL UP IT OVERFLOWS A GOOD AMOUNT OF FUEL, OFTEN SOAKING GAS ATTENDANT, MYSELF AND TRUCK. GAS STATION ATTENDANT CLAIMS THAT THESE TRUCKS ALL OVERFLOW LIKE THAT AND THEY ARE A BIG PROBLEM. ITS GOING TO BE AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM ONCE ONE OF THESE IGNITES INTO FLAMES! *TR

Electronic stability control (ESC), Sep 11, 2010
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WITH A 5.7 HEMI ENGINE. MY ISSUES IS WITH THE ESP (TRACTION CONTROL). THE ESP LIGHT IS COMING ON AND THE ESP IS ENGAGING WHEN MAKING TURNS (LEFT & RIGHT). IT ALSO FEELS EXTREMELY LOSE AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH. WHEN ON THE FREEWAY IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING ON ICE AND IF I HIT A BUMP, IT KICKS THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, SOMETIMES CLOSE TO GOING INTO THE ADJACENT LANE. WHEN I TRY TO CORRECT THIS ACT BY STEERING BACK INTO THE LANE, THE ESP IS ENGAGING. WHEN THE ESP ENGAGES IT CAUSE THE WHEEL ITS ENGAGING ON TO START BRAKING. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN GOING 65-70 MPH, WITH LOSE STEERING AND ONE SIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE BEGINS TO BRAKE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK. NOW THIS IS CONFUSING SINCE IT SAYS IN THE HANDBOOK THAT THE ESP IS ALWAYS ON AND TO TURN IT OFF YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON ON THE CENTER CONSOLE WHICH INTURN WILL DISPLAY THE LIGHT ON THE DASH. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON AND HAVE IT TURNED OF AT ALL TIMES SO THAT THE VEHICLE DRIVES IN A MANAGEABLE WAY. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE ESP ENGAGING ON TURNS FOR NO REASON. IT HAPPENS AT SPEEDS OF 5PMH, 20MPH AND ALL THE WAY UP TO 75MPH. I SENT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK AND A HALF AND RETURNED IT SAYING THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AND WERE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHY ITS DOING IT. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY FOR THE BEHAVIOR OF THE MANAGEMENT AND THEIR UNWILLINGNESS TO CORRECT THE ISSUES EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A WARRANTY AND THEY SOLD THE VEHICLE TO ME LIKE THIS 3 MONTHS AGO. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THIS ISSUE COULD BE LOOKED INTO, THANK YOU WORRIED DODGE OWNER. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO 4X4. THE FIRST TIME WE FILLED THE GAS TANK IT NEVER CLICKED OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND CAUSES GAS TO SPILL AND SPLASH EVERY WHERE.

FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS DURING EVERY FILL-UP, AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS, FUEL PUMP NOZZLE WILL CLICK OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL AND THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER GASOLINE WILL FORCIBLY FLOW FROM THE TANK SPILLING ABOUT A QUART OF FUEL ON THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ON THE CEMENT. THE ONLY THING WE HAVE DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE IS TO PARTIALLY FILL THE GAS TANK. *TR

1. PURCHASED 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT W/ HEMI, 8 CYL ENGINE USED IN AUG. OF 2006 WITH 19,000 MI. RESPONDED TO 3/9/07 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL RECALL ON 12/30/09 AT MOSS BROS. DODGE IN SAN BERNARDINO, CA. AFTER INITIAL 12/30/09 VISIT, EXPERIENCED POWER SHORTAGES MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE AUTOMOBILE RADIO. MOSS BROS. DENIED ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN THIS AND THEIR EFFORTS AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. REFUSED TO HELP IN ANY WAY. ALSO BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE TROUBLE WITH THE GAS TANK. IT BEGAN TO OVERFLOW WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE ENTIRE TANK. TOO DISCOURAGED TO CHECK WITH MOSS BROS. AGAIN. 2. THE MAIN FAILURE IS THAT GAS SPEWS FROM THE TANK IF IT IS FILLED COMPLETELY, ESPECIALLY IF THE GAS CLIP IS USED TO AUTOMATICALLY FILL IT. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES TO ME AND MY SPOUSE AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. WE NOW ONLY FILL OUR TANK A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE TO AVOID THE PROBLEM. THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT BEING THIS CAREFUL ARE THAT GAS WILL SPILL OUT ON THE CAR, ON US, AND AT THE GAS PUMP. AN ADDITIONAL CONSEQUENCE IS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SELL THIS CAR, BUT WILL NOW BE FORCED TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE WE CAN DO SO. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AT THIS POINT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE WE KNEW IT WOULD BE COSTLY. AS OF THIS MONTH (AUG. 2010) WE HAVE JUST READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGOS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND OTHER PEOPLE (WHO OWN EVEN NEWER MODELS, I.E. 2007) ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. MY DURANGO SHUT OFF TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS DURING TURNS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. IT SHUTS OFF AFTER STOPPING AT STOP SIGN AND THEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE. THE DODGE DEALER CAN NOT FIND A REASON FOR COMPLETE ENGINE STALL. THE DEALER HAS FLASHED THE PCM.
