Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 24, 2016
I CAN NOT PUT GAS IN THE TANK. THE FUEL NECK WAS REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. VERY LITTLE GAS GOES IN WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE FUEL PUMP AT THE GAS STATION MAYBE 10 OR 12 OUNCES THE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND STOPS FILLING. I TRY IT AGAIN THEN SLOWLY PUT GAS IN AND THE FILL NECK GETS FULL BECAUSE THE TANK WILL NOT LET THE GAS IN AND IT SPITS OUT THE FILL OPENING AND ON THE CAR AND GROUND. I WAS AT COSTCO AND THE ATTENDANT SAW MY PROBLEM AND SAID I HAD TO LEAVE UNTIL I GET THE ISSUE FIXED. I WAS ENDANGERING OTHERS. I TOOK IT TO DOGE WERE I HAVE MY WORK DONE AND THE TWO FILL NECKS REPLACED AND THEY SAID THE TANK IS BAD. IT NEEDS REPLACED. AT THE TUNE OF $1200.00 PLUS COST. MORE PEOPLE THAN ME HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND I CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT GAS. I HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND SAID INSIDE OF THE PLASTIC TANK THAT HAS A LINER IN IT IS COMING APART INSIDE WHICH YOU CAN NOT REPAIR CAUSED FROM THE ETHONAL CONTENT IN GAS HAS CAUSED THIS ISSUE. THE LINER IS CAUSING THE FLAP INSIDE THE OPENING OF THE GAS TANK THAT THE FUEL INLET IS ATTACHED TO NOT TO OPEN AND ALLOW FUEL TO GO IN THE TANK. THE CAR IS TOO OLD TO HAVE TO PUT THIS KIND OF CASH IN IT WHEN IT IS APEARANT THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN THE TANK WHICH FROM ON LINE SAYS IT IS MADE IN CHINA. AGAIN A BAD COMBINATION CHINA REALLY!!!. I HAVE ALREADY PUT A FEW THOUSAND IN IT FOR TRANSMISSION DIP STICK RUST OFF IN THE CHECK TUBE ,OIL LEAKS ,TRANS SLIPPING ,REAR END LEAKING BREAK CALIPERS,AND THE LIST GOES ON. I HAVE DODGE'S SINCE 2000 AND DODGE HAS ME AS A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN. I HAD 2000 INTREPID 2 DODGE GRAND CARAVANS AND THE DURANGO. HELP PLEASE.
Power train, Service brakes, Engine, Dec 22, 2016
WHILE DRIVING MY DURANGO WILL JUST SHUT OFF (IT DOESN'T RUN ROUGH OR SPUTTER, IT JUST SHUTS OFF) LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKING. I WILL COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, THEN TRY TO START IT AGAIN. MOST TIMES IT WILL START RIGHT UP AND OTHER TIMES IT MAY TAKE 2 - 5 MINUTES. THIS WILL HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. OTHERWISE IT RUNS FINE BEFORE AND AFTER IT SHUTS OFF ON ME. ONE ODDITY THAT I NOTICE IS THAT ALL THE GAUGES SEEM TO WORK FINE EXCEPT THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0 EVEN THROUGH I AM STILL COASTING ALONG. THE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON DURING THIS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER CARS BEFORE SINCE I LOOSE MY STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITIES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DURING A RAINSTORM AND MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO STARTED SPUTTERING AND STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER MY CAR WAS TOWED & LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT WATER WAS RUNNING DOWN THE WINDSHIELD & DRIPPING DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE AIR INTAKE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2004 THROUGH 2006 MODELS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE TRUE. I SPOKE WITH DODGE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND I COULD PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT UPDATED COWL PART # 55362453AK THIS PART IS SUPPOSED TO DIVERT THE WATER AWAY FROM THE INTAKE. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT NO BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE PUBLIC. IN MY OPINION A VEHICLE THAT STALLS BECAUSE OF THE RAIN IS AN ISSUE. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A 100000 MILES DUE TO THE WEATHER STRIPPING FAILING. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINES CAN BECOME WATERLOGGED AND THE ENGINE CAN BLOW A ROD THROUGH THE MOTOR WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR AFTER THE RAIN. ANY RESEARCH INTO THE SECOND GENERATION DODGE DURANGOS SHOULD PRODUCE MORE INFORMATION INCLUDING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE A LIFE BECAUSE THEIR VEHICLE STALLED.

THE FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE HAS COMPLETELY FAILED JUST LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHER DURANGOS. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT (12-16 OUNCES) GAS BLOWBACK WHEN THE FUEL REACHES A NEAR FULL LEVEL DURING REFUELING. I HAVE TRIED STOPPING THE PUMP SEVERAL TIMES TO ALLOW THE FUEL TO SETTLE, DIFFERENT BRANDS OF GAS AND DIFFERENT FILLER HANDLE POSITIONS. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN PREVENT THIS IS NOT FILLING THE TANK MORE THAN 3/4 FULL.
