2007 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V354000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO, I HAD MY DURANGO IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THEY PUT IN A NEW SOLENOID AND ELECTRICAL COMPUTER PARTS ON THE ENGINE TO THE COSTLY TUNE OF $2903. ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14TH, APPARENTLY THE ENGINE HAS NOW SPUN A BEARING/THROWN A ROD. THEY TELL ME IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE A NEW ENGINE AND ALL OF THE NEW PARTS THAT WERE PUT IN 3 WEEKS AGO WILL COME OUT WITH THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE. I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT ALL OVER AGAIN. HELP PLEASE. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO EQUIPPED WITH CAPITOL H/T (NA) TIRES, SIZE 265/70R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE EXPLODED. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE DAMAGED TIRE WITH A SPARE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED AND THE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND FRONT BUMPER FENDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

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

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 MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.
