2007 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO RESTART AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE DOOR LATCH WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN SENSOR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000.

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

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

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

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

DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE THE ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON AND THEN THE ENGINE LOCKED UP. THE TRUCK IS REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND HAS NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS PRIOR TO THIS. THE CAR IS NOT EVEN 7 FULL YEARS OF AGE YET. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP OUT DUE TO AGE AND MILES. HOW DOES A CAR IN GREAT RUNNING CONDITION JUST STALL AND DIE WHILE DRIVING? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE FROM THE FRONT END OF THE CABIN. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEATBELT TENSION CARTRIDGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 LIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING, GASOLINE WOULD SPILL FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE DETERMINED MALFUNCTION WAS A FAULTY FUEL CHECK VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. ..UPDATED 04-29-14 *BF
