Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 28, 2015
I'VE NOTICED SINCE I BOUGHT MY TRUCK, WHEN I HAVE IT ON AUTOFILL AT THE GAS STATION, THERE'S NO INDICATION FOR WHEN THE GAS IS FULL... IT COME SPEWING OUT ALL OVER ME AND DOWN THE SIDE LF THE CAR! I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE PUMP, BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL MY TANK ALL THE WAY FULL. NOW FROM THE GAS OVER FLOWING SO MANY TIMES, I HAVE VERY BAD RUST AROUND WHERE YOU FILL UP THE GAS. IT'S RUSTING A HOLE STRAIGHT THREW!! AS I READ AND DO RESEARCH, I SEE MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS COMPLAINT AS WELL AND STILL THERE IS NO RECALL !! *TR
Suspension, Jul 18, 2014
I PURCHASED MY 2008 DURANGO FROM HERB CHAMBERS FEB 4, 2013 SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR SEVERAL SUSPENSION NOISES (AT LEAST 3 TIMES) IN OCT 2013 I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE BACK IN COMPLAINING THAT THE SUSPENSION IS NOISY OVER ALL TYPES OF BUMPS. THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED IT OUT AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE STABILIZER LINKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACE AND THAT THEY HAD TO BE ORDERED, THAT IS WHEN THE WAITING GAME STARTED. I AM STILL WAITING ON THE LINKS AND MY VEHICLE IS GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT THAT WHEN TAKING TURNS, GOING OVER BUMPS (BIG OR SMALL) THERE IS TONS OF POPPING, CRACKING AND EXCESSIVE RATTLING HAPPENING. MY TIRES ARE WEARING AND I AM GETTING SCARED BECAUSE I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WHEN BREAKING WITH WHEEL LOCK UP!! I HAVE CHILDREN THAT I AM FOREVER DRIVING AROUND TO DIFFERENT SPORTS GAMES AND DANCE COMPETITIONS. I AM REALLY WORRIED. I HAVE A CASE WITH THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER FOR CHRYSLER BUT I JUST KEEP GETTING E MAILS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS STILL NO KNOWN DATE AS TO WHEN THESE BACKORDERED PARTS WILL BE IN AND HOW SORRY WE ARE THAT THEY ARE NOT HERE AS OF YET, BUT THAT WE WILL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS THEY ARE IN. I AM HAVING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AND I WANT THIS FIXED IT IS UNFAIR THAT I PURCHASE A VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH IT FROM THE START AND NOW THIS WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THEY SHOULD BE PROVIDING ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS CAUSING OTHER ISSUES WITH WORN TIRES, ALIGNMENT, AND BRAKING PROBLEMS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A ROLL OVER. THE ROADS IN MASSACHUSETTS ARE AT THEIR WORST EVER WHICH MAKE DRIVING REALLY BAD TO BEGIN WITH SO HAVING A SUSPENSION PROBLEM WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT REALLY STINKS. NOT FEELING SAFE!! *TR

BEGINNING WITH THE FIRST TIME I FILLED THE TANK, WHEN THE FUEL FULLER NOZZLE IS SET TO AUTO FILL, WHEN THE FILLER CLICKS OFF, FUEL GUSHES BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. I WAS STANDING TOO CLOSE AND MY PANTS LEG GOT SOAKED TO THE POINT THAT MY SKIN BURNED FROM THE PRESENCE OF GASOLINE. [I'M GLAD THAT I QUIT SMOKING IN 1984 NOW FOR AN ADDITIONAL REASON.] THE NEXT TIME I FILLED THE TANK, I WATCHED THE VOLUME DELIVERED AND STOPPED THE FLOW ABOUT TWO GALLONS BEFORE FULL AND GENTLY PUMPED THE LAST AMOUNT IN. WHEN IT WAS FULL, IT BURPED OUT ABOUT A PINT AND A HALF ANYWAY. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY RECALLED THE 2005 FOR THIS ISSUE AND DIDN'T FIX THE REAL PROBLEM! THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE BETS BURNED. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 21, 2014
UPON FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND GASOLINE SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE FUEL FILL NECK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES AT DIFFERENT FUEL STATIONS. APPROXIMATELY A PINT TO A QUART OF GASOLINE QUICKLY SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE TANK COVERING THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND PANTS AND SHOES OF WHOMEVER IS FUELING THE VEHICLE. *TR
Steering, Suspension, Jan 25, 2014
WE WERE TRAVELING THRU A REDUCED SPEED AREA ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT INTO WHAT IS KNOWN BY ME NOW AS A "DEATH WOBBLE". I MANAGED TO KEEP IT ON THE HIGHWAY AND PULL OFF ONTO THE LEFT SHOULDER. I FOUND THE LEFT TIE ROD HAD COME APART SO THERE WAS ESSENTIALLY NO STEERING CONTROL. LUCKILY WE HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN THE AREA AS WE WERE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH A COUPLE MINUTES EARLIER AND HAD TRAVELED THRU QUITE A NUMBER OF 2 LANE CONSTRUCTION ZONES WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. LOCAL DODGE DEALERS SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL BUT THIS WEEK I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM ON MY 2003 DODGE 2500 TRUCK. WE KNOW ANOTHER COUPLE THIS HAPPENED TO FROM OUR TOWN AS WELL. I INCURRED A LOT OF EXPENSE OVER THIS AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NO INJURIES BUT BELIEVE THIS IS A WIDER PROBLEM THAN IS REALIZED. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 29, 2013
EVERY TIME I FUEL THE VEHICLE UP (AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS) THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF A WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, CAUSING FUEL SPIT BACK AND OVERFLOW. THIS CAUSES A FIRE DANGER AND A HAZMAT SITUATION. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 4, 2013
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL SPEWED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK VALVE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
Engine, Oct 23, 2013
AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF DIAGNOSTICS, IT APPEARS THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS OPERATING INCONSISTENTLY WHICH CAUSED EXCESS GASOLINE TO FLOW TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS THAT EVENTUALLY CLOGGED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND CAUSED A CYLINDER TO BLOW. AS A RESULT, THE ECM (A FAIRLY INEXPENSIVE PART) CAUSED OVER $10,000 OF DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE. THERE COULD BE A SEVERE RISK WHEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ARE CLOGGED AS THEY BECOME SO HOT THEY WILL GLOW RED AND CAUSE A FIRE IF ANY FLAMMABLE ITEMS ARE BELOW SUCH AS LEAVES, FOR EXAMPLE. *TR
Structure, Jun 10, 2013
BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT DOOR MOLDINGS STARTED TO PEEL OFF, ROUGHLY 12 INCHES, FROM THE FRONT OF THE DOOR. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE OR BOTH OF THESE HEAVY RUBBER MOLDINGS ARE GOING TO PEEL OFF COMPLETELY WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, STRIKING A VEHICLE BEHIND AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY. DODGE WILL NOT COVER REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AS THE VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IF OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES CAUSE THE ADHESIVE TO FAIL, MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE IN A MORE SECURE MANNER. *TR
Engine, Apr 24, 2013
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE HIT A BUMP OR ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *TR
Electrical system, Mar 15, 2013, fire
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT, IT APPEARED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A THERMAL EVENT. THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTED AND HALF OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL WAS BURNED ALONG WITH OTHER EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS ASSURED IT WAS NOT DUE TO A DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 3/27/13 *CN
Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 7, 2013
UPON COMPLETION OF FILLING THE FUEL TANK EITHER MANUALLY OR WITH THE AUTOMATIC PUMPING DEVICE ONCE THE FUEL TANK IS FULL GASOLINE WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST THE FUEL IS PLACED INTO THE TANK IT WILL SPILL BACK OUT. THIS CAUSES A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

FUEL SPLASH BACK FROM FILLING TUBE AFTER AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON FUELING NOZZLE RELEASES. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 30, 2012
I WENT TO A GAS STATION TO FILL UP ON FUEL AND WHEN THE ATTENDANT HEARD IT CLICK OFF AND TRIED TO REMOVE THE GAS HOSE THE GAS TANK SPIT FUEL BACK OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS DONE THIS AND ONLY THE SECOND TIME I HAVE DONE A FULL FILL-UP SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 24, 2012
FUEL SPITS OUT OF FILL TUBE EVERY TIME WE FILL UP! IT HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS IN DIFFERENT STATES. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE! EACH TIME THE GAS IS PUMPED, THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF TO TURN OFF THE PUMP. 1 SECOND LATER YOU HEAR A GURGLING NOISE AND GAS SPOUTS OUT OF THE FUEL TUBE. IT SOAKS THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND YOUR CLOTHES AND SHOES ARE DRENCHED IN GASOLINE!! FROM MY ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH SEVERAL YEARS OF DURANGOS AND JEEPS. THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR 2008 DURANGOS! HOW CAN THIS BE? IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME RECALL FROM 2005 BUT HARDLY ANYONE IS HAVING SUCCESS GETTING THE DEALERS TO REPLACE THE TANKS. WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? SOMEONE TO BURN TO DEATH? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN SHE DROVE OVER A ROAD BUMP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 08-23-12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VIOLENT SHAKING IS KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". IN AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE THE STEERING DAMPENER AND MOUNTING BRACKETS WERE REPLACED. UPDATED 09/04/2012 *JS

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT LOW SPEED WHILE CRANKING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING THE OTHER CARS. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM AND THE MESSAGE BOARDS ARE FULL OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR NEAR-CRASHES. *TR
Air bags, Feb 21, 2012, crash
GOING WEST ON HWY 20 BLEW LEFT FRONT TIRE TOOK ME INTO A TREE. HIT IT JUST LEFT OF CENTER BROKE FRONT BUMPER IN HALF, PUSHED FRONTEND INTO ENGINE BLOCK. IT WAS REPAIRED. I HAD CRUISE CONTROL ON DOING 65 AND DRIVING AT NIGHT AROUND 9PM. I DO NOT REMEMBER HITTING THE TREE AND WAS NOT INJURED ACCEPT FOR THE MEMORY OF IT. THE BODY SHOP TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT DEPLOY DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE SENSORS. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS PEOPLE HAVE T-BONED ANOTHER CAR AT SPEEDS WELL ABOVE THE 25 MPH DODGE SAYS IT TAKES TO HAVE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, AND THERE'S DID NOT GO OFF. REALLY. HOW DO WE HOLD THE AUTOMAKERS LIABLE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. CLASS ACTIONS ONLY GET THE LAWYERS RICH. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 23, 2012
FILLING GAS TANK AT FUEL PUMP; SET THE AUTO-FIL ON PUMP; HANDLE CLICKED (AS NORMAL WHEN A TANK IS FULL) AS I REACHED TO GRAB THE HANDLE TO PUT AWAY - RIGHT BEFORE I TOUCH THE HANDLE GAS IS REGURGITATED AND SPEWED ALL OVER ME AND THE SIDE O F THE VEHICLE. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THE GAS STATION CLERK AS A FAULTY PUMP AND HE PUT AN OUT OF ORDER SIGN ON IT. THEN LESS THAN A WEEK LATER IT DOES THE SAME THING AND CONVIENTLY I SEE ANOTHER DODGE DURANGO OF SIMILAR BODY STYLE AND THE OWNER SMIRKS, "YOUR'S HATES GAS TOO!" LEADING ME TO BELIEVE IT IS A DEFECT. WE STARTED CHATTING AND HE SHOWED ME A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF ANOTHER DURANGO DOING THE SAME THING AND SAID HOPE YOU HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO EARNHARDT DODGE WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH A LIFETIME-WARRANTY AND THEY FIXED JANUARY 10TH 2012 FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE PRICE OF $100. HOWEVER, FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON MY PART REVEALS THAT SOME (NOT ALL WERE INCLUDED, BUT YET SOME NOT INCLUDED SUFFER THE SAME SYMPTOM) 2005 DODGE DURANGO WERE RECALLED FOR A FAULTY GAS TANK CHEK-VALVE THAT RESULTED IN THE EXACT SAME PARTS BEING REPLACED: THE TANK AND INLET ASSEMBLY. SINCE THESE ARE THE SAME PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE MY FUEL LEAK ISSUE - I CAN ONLY BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL SIMILAR BODY STYLE DURANGO'S AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A PROBLEM EXCLUSIVE TO THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH SHARES A BODY STYLE 2004/5-2009. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 3, 2012
WHILE FILLING GAS TANK THE AUTO STOP ON THE PUMP WILL KICK OFF. AFTER A FEW SECONDS FUEL WILL BEGIN TO FLOW OUT OF THE TANK. TRIED TO STOP THE PUMP ON MY OWN AND STILL CONTINUES TO DO IT. SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME RECALL THEY HAD ON THE 2005 DURANGOS. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 29, 2011
THE GAS TANK BEGAN BURPING UPON FILLING. ONCE THE AUTO CUTOFF CLICKS OFF, ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS LATER THE TANK BURPS A LARGE PUDDLE ONTO THE GROUND THAT IS WELL LARGER THAN MY FOOT. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT STARTS WITH A RECALL IN 2005. I FOUND THIS WHILE RESEARCHING HOW TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE ISSUES HAVE TRANSFERRED INTO 2007 DURANGOS AND NOW TO MY 2008. DID DODGE FAIL TO ACCURATELY ADDRESS THE 2005 RECALL? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE REPEAT FAILURES IN A DESIGN. THIS IS ALSO AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN THAT I AM INCLINED TO REPORT TO THE EPA. MAYBE THEY WILL GET DODGE TO TAKE ACTION. I HAVE WRITTEN THIS BASED ON RESEARCH WITHOUT CONTACTING DODGE BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE. MY DURANGO HAD 51,000 WHEN IT STARTED FAILING. *KB
