RECENTLY PURCHASED 2006 DODGE DURANGO. EVERYTIME I GET GAS, NO MATTER WHERE I GET IT, THE GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE WHEN IT IS DONE FILLING. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER HOW SLOW IT IS FILLING, USUALLY DUMPING AT LEAST A PINT, EVEN UP TO A QUART OF GAS ONTO THE CAR AND THE GROUND CREATING A VERY SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD.

I'VE OWNED MY DURANGO FOR 3 YEARS, BUT THE PAST 6 MONTHS WHEN I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS AND GOES ALL OVER THE GROUND AND MY CAR.

Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 15, 2009
EVERYTIME I HAVE FILLED UP MY GAS TANK FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS IT OVERFLOWS. THIS CAUSES A FAIR AMOUNT OF GASOLINE TO FLOW OUT OF THE FILL AREA AND ONTO THE GROUND. THERE IS SO MUCH THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO NOTIFY THE GAS ATTENDANTS ON DUTY SO PROPER MEASURE CAN BE TAKEN FOR THE SPILL DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD INVOLVED. ON DECEMBER 14TH I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE VEHICLE ASSESSED, AND THEY ADVISED IT IS THE FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE THAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT WILL COST $721 TO REPLACE BECAUSE THE CHECK VALVE IS PART OF THE WHOLE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING, UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TANK, I WILL TRY TO NOT FILL UP MY TANK COMPLETELY. *TR

FOR SOME REASON IT DOESN'T TRIGGER THE AUTOMATIC GAS SHUTOFF OF THE FILLER NOZZLE AND ABOUT A PINT TO A QUART SHOOTS OUT - ON THE PERSON FILLING, THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE CONCRETE.

THIS ISSUE ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER THE FUELING PROCESS HAS ENDED: AFTER THE GAS TANK IS FILLED AND THE NOZZLE HAS CLICKED OFF, GAS WILL SPEW FROM THE TANK. THIS IS NOT A DRIP; IT LITERALLY SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILL POINT ON THE CAR (LIKE THERE IS BACK PRESSURE IN THE TANK). THIS HAPPENS 95% OF THE TIME THE CAR IF FUELED AT A GAS STATION AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION WE ARE AT. WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SPEWING IS NOT AS SEVERE IF WE FILL THE TANK SLOWER TOWARD THE END OF THE FILL UP, BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HELP. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS HAD MULTIPLE ENGINE & ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITHIN 6 MONTH PERIOD. FIRST CAR LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, TOOK ALL STRENGTH TO GET CAR TO SHOULDER OF THE ROAD W/O POWER STEERING & LOCKED STEERING COLUMN. LOCAL MECHANIC SAID THAT COMPUTER WAS FRIED & COVERED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY. TOWED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THERE WAS NOT A COMPUTER PROBLEM, JUST CAM SHAFT NEEDED REPLACING & RECALL ON INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER. AFTER $450 REPAIR FOR CAM SHAFT & TOW, A WEEK LATER CAR STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. APROX EVERY OTHER TIME I WOULD START CAR, THE RADIO & ELECTRICAL DISPLAY (CLOCK) ON RADIO WOULD NOT WORK--APPEARED TO NOT GET POWER. SIX WEEKS LATER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. BY THIS TIME, ORIGINAL DODGE DEALERSHIP HAD BEEN CLOSED, SO WENT TO ANOTHER DODGE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY FOUND ANOTHER WIRING PROBLEM WITH ENGINE. COULD NOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM WITH AUDIO/CLOCK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER. THIS TIME LOCAL MECHANIC ADVISED IT WAS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. REPLACED FUEL PUMP, CHECKED FUSE & STILL COULD NOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM WITH AUDIO/DISPLAY. 9 DAYS LATER WENT TO START CAR IN THE AM, AND ELECTRICAL SEEMED TO SPUTTER (LIGHTS, INSTRUMENT PANE, WIPERS, RADIO) BUT CAR WOULD NOT START. STARTER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ENGAGING THE ENGINE AT ALL. DIAGNOSED AS STARTED MOTOR PROBLEM, STARTER MOTOR REPLACED, BUT CAR STILL NOT FIXED. THEN TOLD BATTERY TERMINALS & CABLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR NOW STARTS, BUT AUDIO/DISPLAY ISSUE STILL UNRESOLVED. CONCERN THAT THERE IS A LARGER PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL RECENT PROBLEMS. GETTING SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON INTERSTATE OR IN ANY LEVEL OF TRAFFIC FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL STALL OUT OR LOSE POWER DURING OPERATION AGAIN. THE CAR ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. FIRST PROBLEM STARTED WITH 37,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. I HATE THIS CAR!!!!! *TR

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

OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 SLT IS IN THE SERVICE DEPT FOR THE 2ND TIME IN TWO WEEKS FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I AM TOLD THE "TRANSMISSION SOLENOID" AND "TRANSMISSION FILTERS" NEED TO BE REPLACED. TWO WEEKS AGO, A "TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE WHEN THE DURANGO'S "TRANSMISSION CHECK LIGHT" CAME ON. SHORTLY LATER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AS THOUGH IT WAS LOSING POWER. IN BOTH SITUATIONS, THE DURANGO EXITED THE FREEWAY BUT BEGAN TO JOLT FORWARD AND BACKWARD. IN BOTH CASES, MY WIFE (2ND SITUATION) AND I (1ST SITUATION) BARELY MADE IT HOME AND TO THE SERVICE DEALERSHIP. THERE IS A CLEAR SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE... AND IT LOOKS TO BE MANY MORE MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE (SAFETY BULLETIN #0803006; ITEM #10021239). THESE SITUATIONS COULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS SAFETY RESULTS DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE ISSUE. PLEASE RESPOND WITH DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING THE REFERENCED SAFETY BULLETINS AND ITEMS #'S. THE PARTS ARE ON BACK-ORDER FOR 1+ WEEKS AND WE DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING FORWARD... EVEN WHEN/IF IT IS "REPAIRED". I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER IF THEY WOULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO NY, FL, MYRTLE BEACH, OR THE TN MOUNTAINS AFTER IT IS REPAIRED... IT WAS NOT RECOMMENDED. SAFETY RECALLS SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR DURANGO TRANSMISSIONS. *TR
