THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND GOING BACK OFF. IT IS AN AWD MODEL DURANGO. I'VE READ FORUMS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE TRANSFER CASE WILL SOMETIMES SHIFT INTO FULL TIME 4WD ON ITS OWN, YOU CAN HERE THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING WITH THE VEHICLE OFF, WHEN YOU ACTIVATE THE POWER LOCKS. BUT LAST NIGHT ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH IT DECIDED TO SHIFT INTO 4WD LOW ON ITS OWN, MY ENGINE WENT UP TO 6000 RPM ON THE TACH AND I LOST SPEED, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I THINK THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, DUE TO SAFETY.

VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO 4WD AND THEN TO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK. HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE PROBLEM HERE IS ACTUALLY THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR. ON THE AWD MODEL IT IS A 2 SPEED MOTOR ON 2WD IT IS A ONE SPEED MOTOR. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU NEED TO KNOW WHICH YOU HAVE IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO REPLACE IT

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN LATE JULY (?) AND MY HUSBAND WENT TO ROY'S GRAND DODGE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. HE WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE AWHILE UNTIL THEY COULD GET TO US BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY OF THE RECALLS. MY HUSBAND RETURNED TO CHECK ON A DATE TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED ON AUGUST 28 AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD ONLY DO 3-4 RECALLS A WEEK AND THEY WOULD GET TO US SOMETIME. OVER A MONTH HAS PASSED SINCE WANTING TO FIX THE RECALL AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS DODGE. WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN THE DODGE BEFORE THE AIR BAG IS REPAIRED?

WHENEVER I FILL THE TANK WITH GAS, WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, AND THEN GAS SPEWS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. THERE IS A "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" DESCRIBING THIS PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE, BUT WHEN I WENT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD FIX THE GAS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THAT THE "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" WAS JUST "COURTESY INFORMATION" AND IF I WANTED TO "FIX" IT, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I'VE SEEN ONLINE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THEIR VEHICLE FIXED AT THEIR DEALERSHIP FOR FREE. I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS LIED TO, OR IF THE DRIVERS I READ ABOUT ONLINE JUST HAVE BETTER DEALERSHIPS THAN I DO HERE. I LOVE THE DURANGO - IT'S A GREAT VEHICLE, BUT THE GAS FILL PROBLEM IS A MESS. I WISH I COULD GET CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY REMAINS ON AFTER ALL CODES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS VEHICLE IS ROUTINELY GIVEN MAINTENANCE CHECKS. OTHER THE CODES GIVEN (P40), WHAT COULD THE ISSUE BY? I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE RECENT RECALL HOPING THAT WOULD HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT THE CLERK WAS VERY RUDE STATING THEY WERE BUSY. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT FOR SAFETY CONCERNS, I FEEL I MAY NEED TO GET RID OF IT IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THIS HAS BEEN A PERMANENT ISSUE FOR AT LEAST THE LAST THREE YEARS...EACH YEAR ITS A STRUGGLE TO EVEN PAST EMISSIONS DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THANK YOU. *TR

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE A KNOWN GAS TANK ISSUE. I CAN NOT FILL UP WITHOUT ABOUT A CUP OR SO OF GASOLINE SPITTING OUT OVER CAR AND GROUND. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DID SPEAK WITH LOCAL DODGE DEALER ABOUT IT, BUT THEY DENIED ANY FACTORY DEFECT. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, ON SEVERAL YEARS OF THE DURANGO.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 27, 2015
UPON FUELING THE VEHICLE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS WOULD SPEW OUT GETTING HANDS/CLOTHES/GROUND WET WITH GASOLINE. THIS HAPPENS AT ERRATIC TIMES, NEVER A RHYME OR REASON. LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM WHEN IT FIRST OCCURRED AND SAW NO RECALL INFORMATION. NOW VEHICLE IS READING A P0430 CODE, O2 SENSORS.

Air bags, Jun 29, 2015, fire
I TOOK MY CAR IN TO KENDALL DODGE FOR THE SAFETY RECALL ON PART # R25/NHTSA 15V-313 (WHICH IS PART OF MY AIRBAG) TO BE REPLACED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE THERE IS "CLOCK SPRING CONNECTOR TAB PART # 107300 THAT IS DAMAGED AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CLAIMING THAT IF MY CAR IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS CAR WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND SOMEONE TAMPERED WITH THE AIRBAG (GLUED ALL THE BACK TOGETHER) IN ORDER TO HIDE DAMAGE. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? IS THIS NOT SOMETHING THAT REQUIRED INSPECTION PRIOR TO SALE?

I WAS TRAVELING ON I99 SOUTHBOUND AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE DOWNSHIFT FROM 4TH GEAR TO 3RD. I PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TURNED MY VEHICLE BACK ON. I POSITIONED THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER TO DRIVE (D) AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. I NOTICED A LACK OF ACCELERATION AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAINED, THE FILTERS REPLACED AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REFILLED WITH NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID. I CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL EACH WEEK TO SEE IF I HAVE A LEAK BUT NO LEAKS WERE DETECTED. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM AND THE DEALER QUOTE ME A FIGURE OVER $2000. I AM A DISABLED VIETNAM VETERAN AND LIVE ON MY DISABILITY RIGHT NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK (TOPPING IT OFF) I'LL HEAR 1 CLICK AND THE GAS WILL INSTANTLY START SPEWING OUT. NORMALLY IT'LL RUN DOWN THE VEHICLE (WHICH HAS CAUSED PAINT DAMAGE/RUST). HOWEVER, LAST WEEK I WAS PUMPING GAS AND I RECEIVED ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT IT WAS FULL SO THE GASOLINE STARTING BLOWING BACK AT ME. I WAS SATURATED FROM MY ARMS TO MY FEET IN GAS. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING, NOT TO MENTION EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND HUMILIATING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE GONE BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS TO SOMEONE.

WHEN I FILL THE CAR UP IF I ALLOW IT TO FILL UP ALL THE WAY ONCE ITS FULL THE GAS SPEWS OUT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY THAT HAVE MY YEAR AND MAKE OF CAR ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THERE ISNT. THERE SHOULD BE. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER. THANKS! *TR
