Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 8, 2018
I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2007 DURANGO AND UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK UP, THE GAS SPEWED OUT. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THAT PARTICULAR PUMP, BUT IT ALWAYS DOES THIS WHEN FILLING UP. FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER NECK WHEN TANK IS FILLED. VERY DANGEROUS. POTENTIAL FOR SOME VERY BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN.
Air bags, Nov 21, 2017
TAKATA RECALL (NOT SURE). WHILE DRIVING (40 MPH TO 45 MPH) ON A RAINY AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 18, 20017 THE RIGHT SIDE PANEL AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT BEEN IN ANY TYPE OR ACCIDENT OR NOTHING, BESIDES THAT IT WAS RAINING VERY HARD. IT SOUND LIKE A BIG EXPLOSION INSIDE THE CAR MAKING ME ALMOST LOST VEHICLE CONTROL.
Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 21, 2017
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH AUTO SHUT OFF NOZZLE IT WILL SPIT BACK A CUP OR MORE OF GAS WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. THIS IS WITH VEHICLE STANDING STILL. IT DOES IT EVERYTIME WITH ANY FUEL PUMP.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES ALL POWER AND DIES WITH NO REAL WARNING. IT HAS DIED ON THE FREEWAY NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR, ON SIDE STREETS GOING UNDER 30, WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS, WHILE PLACED IN PARKED IN PARKING LOTS, AND ONCE WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS DISPLAYED AND DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. WHEN IT DIES ON THE FREEWAY I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY PULL OVER SO THAT I CAN PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART IT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, AS I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED LAST TIME IT DIED.

VEHICLE FLUCTUATES IN RPM'S UPON STARTING VEHICLE, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. VEHICLE ALSO WILL RANDOMLY STALL WITH NO WARNING WHILE IN PARK, WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC SIGNALS, PULLING INTO INTERSECTIONS AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. UPON STALLING I HAVE AN EXTREMELY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME TO PULL OVER BEFORE I LOOSE COMPLETE ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS RANDOM VIOLENT SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING. PROBLEMS BEGAN ABOUT 90,000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY AND SEVERELY WORSE THE PAST 3 MONTHS.

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED 4.7L 4X4 HAS BEEN CUTTING OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL AS WELL AS CUTTING OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS THE ESP/BAS AND SLIPPERY ROAD LIGHT. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLE YEARS AND THE COMPUTER SAYS AIR FLOW SENSOR DETECTED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TRADE IN CAUSE NO DEALERSHIP WANTS A PART OF IT CAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. ANY HELP OR GUIDANCE WITH WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE TO FIX IT WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING EVERY LIGHT AND GAUGE STARTED BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH. NO HEADLIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS. AFTER SHUTT IT OFF IT CONTINUED TO DO IT. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ANYTIME IT RAINS OR MOISTURE IN THE AIR. I HAVE HAD THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED AT THE DEALER AND THE CONTROLLER FOR THE BLINKERS REPLACED AT A LOCAL MECHANIC. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE.ABSOLUTELY AFRAID IT IS GOING TO DIE ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DOING THIS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE IS WAS DRIVING BUT HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN AS SOON AS I START THE DURANGO. WE HAVE A VIDEO THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD THAT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THIS ISSUE. DODGE FORUM HAS OTHER DURANGO'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE.

WHEN WE FILL THE FUEL TANK, THE PUMP CLICKS AND WE STOP FUELING. PROBLEM AFTER THAT IS THAT THE VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING AT VARIOUS TIMES. COULD BE MAKING A TURN AND IT WILL DIE OR STOPPED OR DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS. LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS A NHTSA BULLITIN FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR OTHER VEHICLES, THERE IS A VALVE ON TOP OF THE TANK THAT FAILS AND ALLOWS FUEL INTO THE VAPOR CANISTER CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP RUNNING. PLEASE EXTEND THE RECALL TO THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. THANK YOU

WHILE MOVING OR AT REST, ACTIVATING TURN SIGNALS TO TURN RIGHT, IT RARELY SIGNALS. WHILE ACTIVATING LEFT TURN SIGNAL, THE RIGHT WILL BLINK THE MAJORITY OF HE TIME. AT TIMES THE CORRECT DIRECTION WILL BLINK AND THEN CHANGE DIRECTIONS BEFORE THE TURN IS MADE AND SOMETIMES AFTER THE TURN IS MADE. WHEN WIPERS ARE ON HIGHEST SETTING THEY WILL NOT WORK UNLESS I TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS. WHEN SWITCHING FROM HI TO LOW BEAMS THE WIPER FLUID WILL DISPENSE. CRUISE CONTROL SUDDENLY ALSO DOES NOT WORK. POWER WINDOWS WILL RANDOMLY GO UP OR DOWN COMPLETELY ON THEIR OWN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PUT THEM UP OR DOWN JUST A LITTLE OR JUST QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY AT TIMES.
