Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 12, 2015
I HAVE 2007 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 5.7L HEMI. APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO WE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. WHEN FILLING THE TANK, THE FUEL NOZZLE WILL AUTOMATCIALLY SHUT OFF NORMALLY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. HOWEVER, WHEN REMOVING THE PUMP NOZZLE GAS SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ALL OVER WHOMEVER IS FILLING THE VEHICLE OR ONTO THE GROUND. FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH SEVERAL DODGE VEHICLES AND OF COURSE ALL AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT TO FORCE A RECALL BUT CHOOSE NOT TO. WITH FUEL PRICES STILL AT AN ELEVATED LEVEL, THIS IS COSTING ME MONEY AS THERE IS WASTED FUEL ON THE GROUND. PLEASE FORCE DODGE TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 6, 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. I AM THINKING THERE MUST BE A CONNECTION AS I AM READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THE SAME NATURE WITH IT BEING CONNECTED TO THE SAME ENGINE CODE. TAKING TO A DEALER NEXT WEEK. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAVE A CONCERN WITH OUR 2007 MODEL AS TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED I CAN ALSO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME, IF I AM NOT CAREFUL. I'V DONE IT MORE TIMES THAT I WANT TO, BUT MOSTLY IN OUR GARAGE WHEN I START THE CAR AND PUSH THE BRAKE TO PUT IT IN GEAR TO BACK OUT. ...UPDATED 01/29/15 *BF

DRIVING ON US1 IN THE FLORIDA KEYS, KEY LARGO. PULLED INTO TURNING LANE, APPLIED BRAKES, NOTHING HAPPENED, CAR CONTINUED AT REGULAR SPEED, KEPT APPLYING BRAKES WITHOUT RESPONSE UNTIL THE CAR COLLIDED AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH INTO A WHITE SUBURBAN VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. TRIED TO GET ATTENTION FROM DODGE AND THE DEALER THAT REPLACED THE ABS SYSTEM THE MONTH PRIOR WITHOUT SUCCESS. I SUFFERED MULTIPLE HERNIATED DISCS IN MY CERVICAL. *JS
Air bags, Dec 18, 2014
THANK YOU FOR ASKING CHRYSLER TO RECALL ALL AFFECTED AIRBAG VEHICLES NATIONWIDE. I HAVE SENT CHRYSLER SEVERAL EMAILS EXPLAINING THAT I SPEND MUCH TIME IN FLORIDA, THAT THE HUMIDITY EXPOSURE THUS FAR HAS RUSTED OUT MY ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED LAST YEAR. THIS SHOULD BE PLENTY OF PROOF THAT MY DURANGO SHOULD RECEIVE AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS. CHRYSLER HAS CONTINUALLY DODGED THIS REQUEST AND HAS FAILED TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE, AND WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS IN ADDITION TO NEVER PURCHASING A CHRYSLER/DODGE PRODUCT AGAIN. I WILL REACH OUT TO MY NORTH CAROLINA REPS AND SENATORS AS WELL, BUT YOUR REQUEST TO CHRYSLER FOR A NATIONAL RECALL NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED. I READ OF A RECENT EXAMPLE IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE AN AFFECTED VEHICLE INJURED THE DRIVER/OCCUPANT WHEN DEPLOYED. MY WIFE DRIVES THE KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE, WILL CHRYSLER BE LIABLE IF MORE PEOPLE GET HURT AND THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE AIRBAG PROBLEM?? *TR

Equipment adaptive/mobility, Dec 1, 2014
ON I-25 GOING NORTH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEEPED THEN SHOWED ALL RED INDICATOR LIGHTS ON. BEEPING WAS CONTINUAL EVERY 10 SECONDS. ALL GAGES WENT TO ZERO: SPEEDOMETER RPM, GAS, TEMP ETC... ALSO R/LEFT TURN INDICATORS DID NOT FUNCTION; NOR THE WIPER BLADES [FRONT OR REAR]. VEHICLE COULD BE DRIVEN [CAUTIOUSLY] AS HEAD & REAR LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS FUNCTIONED. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIR BAG RELEASE MECHANISM WAS AFFECTED. WE HAD 250 MILES TO GO, HALF IN DAYLIGHT. VERY DIFFICULT TO MERGE FROM I25 TO I40 DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITHOUT TURN INDICATORS. *JS
Vehicle speed control, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 1, 2014
THE VEHICLE STALLS/LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT GIVES NO WARNING AND ONCE THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER YOU LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING AND COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. THIS LEAVE THE VEHICLE STRANDED WHEREVER YOU ARE WITH LITTLE TO NO WAY TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY HAVE CONTINUOUSLY FAILED TO FIND OR SOLVE THE ISSUE. IT IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING THAT THIS VEHICLE IS ULTIMATELY PUTTING MY FAMILY IN GRAVE DANGER AS THE TIMES THAT THE VEHICLE HAS BROKE DOWN HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTIONS. THE FORUMS AND WEB SEARCHES ONLINE APPEAR TO PROVE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH DODGE YET THE MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE OR PUT OUT A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT ONLY ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY BUT POTENTIALLY THE LIVES OF MANY OTHER UNSUSPECTING OWNERS/FAMILIES. *JS

THE FRONT CALIPERS OF MY DURANGO HAVE SEIZED UP 7 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. IT IS PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED AND THE SHOP IS BECOMING TIRED OF SERVICING THE VEHICLE SINCE THE FAILURES OCCUR UNDER THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND DOESN'T COST ME ANYTHING EXCEPT TIME. THE TIME BETWEEN FAILURES IS INCREASING. IT WAS ONLY 3 MONTHS AND 2000 MILES SINCE HAVING NEW CALIPERS INSTALLED THIS TIME. THE SHOP HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS BECAUSE SO MANY DODGE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM CALIPERS ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, WHEN APPLIED, WILL FLASH IN THE CAB AND ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS RIGHT. IT WILL MALFUNCTION FROM TIME TO TIME BY FLASHING BACK AND FORTH LEFT TO RIGHT. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. FOR AWHILE IT WILL WORK THEN THE TURN SIGNAL WILL START TO FLASH IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND PLACES MY FAMILY IN SERIOUS DANGER OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE FUSES AND RELAYS ARE WORKING FINE. THE BULBS ARE FRESH AND NEW. THIS PROBLEM IS FROM ANOTHER FAILURE
Steering, Jul 20, 2014
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007. I HAVE ONLY HAD MINOR PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS BEGAN. THE VEHICLE IDLE BEGAN FLUCTUATING WHILE SITTING STILL. IT WOULD REV TO 2000 RPMS AND DROP AND NEARLY STALL. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN REGULARLY, SO I WASN'T CONCERNED. THEN IT STALLED ON MY WIFE IN THE DRIVE THRU. I CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS AT AROUND 60000. THIS HAD LITTLE OR NO EFFECT. WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THIS PROBLEM BEGAN. MY WIFE CALLED AND STATED IT LOST POWER STEERING AND THROTTLE, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. SHE TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I THOUGHT SHE HAD MISTAKEN BECAUSE THE AC AND SOME GAUGES WILL OPERATE IF THE KEY IS ON BUT ENGINE IS OFF. THEN IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS RUNNING 60 MPH AND IT CUT OUT. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND COULD HEAR THE ENGINE RUNNING, BUT HAD NO POWER AT THE ACCELERATOR. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IN THAT FEW SECONDS, I DROPPED TO 35 MPH. HAD THIS BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. I CHECKED ONLINE BECAUSE I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS OTHER THAN A COMPUTER ISSUE AND FOUND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I WILL BE CALLING MY DEALER TO FIND A CAUSE. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW WITH OUR FOUR SONS IN THE CAR UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HER POINT. THERE IS NO WAY SHE WILL BE ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IF THIS HAPPENS TO HER. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL A FAMILY IS REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLS. IT'S VERY CONFUSING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING, BUT NO POWER STEERING AND NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. THIS VEHICLE WILL NOW BE SITTING IN MY GARAGE UNTIL A REMEDY IS FOUND. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, May 27, 2014
ANY TIME I GO TO THE GAS PUMP TO FILL UP FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE ASKED DODGE ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY TO CHANGE THE FUEL CAP. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE FUEL CAP HAS TO DO WITH FILLING THE TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS COVERING MYSELF KIDS AND HUSBAND IN GASOLINE. I NOW HAVE TO WATCH THE FUEL GAUGE WHILE IM FILLING UP AND LISTEN FOR THE TANK TO BE FULL. THIS IS A HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY DODGE. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, May 12, 2014
EVERY TIME THAT I FILL THE FUEL TANK IT SPITS OUT ABOUT 1/4 OF A GALLON OF FUEL. IT IS VERY COSTLY AND VERY DANGEROUS. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 7 AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR. HAVING THIS MUCH FUEL SPILL OUT IS A DANGER, NOT ONLY TO MY FAMILY BUT TO THE OTHERS AT THE GAS STATION. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM THE INLET WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ACTUALLY FILL THE TANK (WHICH I ONLY GET 20 GALLONS INTO A 27 GALLON TANK EVEN WHEN THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON), THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE INLET AS SOON AS THE HANDLE CLICKS OFF. IT'S NOT A SMALL AMOUNT OF OVERFLOW EITHER, IT'S ENOUGH THAT THE FUEL ENDS UP DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND INTO A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS CAUSED THE ONLY SURFACE RUST ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. *TR
