2007 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WILL QUIT WHEN DRIVING, THE MECHANISM NEEDS TO BE WIGGLED AND SOMETIMES IT WILL COME ON SOMETIMES NOT. ALOT OF TIMES IF YOU PUSH THE WASH WIPER BUTTON THE WIPERS WILL COME IF THE KNOB IS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THIRD ROW SEAT BELT LATCH PLATE WAS CRACKED, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO LATCH THE SEAT BELT SECURELY ONTO A PASSENGER.

UPDATED 03/26/12 *BF 4/16/12*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO.THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STALLING COULD BE CAUSED BY WATER ENTERING THE ENGINE MANIFOLD ABNORMALLY. THE DEALER DID NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

ON NOV. 16, 2011 OUR 2007 DODGE DURANGO CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME ON I-95. INITIALLY THE DRIVER SEAT BECAME EXTREMELY HOT AND 15-20 MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. WE MADE SURE THAT ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE WAS KEPT UP-TO-DATE ON THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS. ONCE MY HUSBAND EXITED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WE HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR ANY RECALLS FOR 2007 DODGE DURANGO AND AT THIS PRESENT TIME THERE ARE NONE. *TR

WHEN USING THE PARKING BRAKE ON A HILL, THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE MUCH TENSION WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE, IT DOES RELEASE, HOWEVER THE "BRAKE" DASH LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER REPEATED PULLINGS OF THE BRAKE RELEASE HANDLE. THE BRAKE DOES ENGAGE/DISENGAGE, AS I'VE TESTED IT ON LEVEL GROUND. *TR

AS WITH THE 2005 DURANGOS & THE MANY 2007 DURANGO COMPLAINTS, I TOO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SPEWING OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF (FUEL INTAKE CHECK VALVE) IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY & ALLOWS QUITE A BIT OF FUEL TO SHOOT OUT FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY CONCERN, BUT IT HAS ALSO CAUSED THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE TO BEGIN BUBBLING UP, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A RUSTING ISSUE. I HAVE TO USE THE WINDSHIELD CLEANER BRUSH AT THE PUMP STATION TO WIPE THE EXCESS FUEL OFF MY VEHICLE TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER BUBBLING. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS REPORTED & A RECALL ISSUED. IT'S RIDICULOUS! *TR

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT TURN ON, OR GO THE SPEED WHICH I HAVE SELECTED. MY DURANGO IS ONLY A 2007 AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS AT 3 DIFFERENT GARAGES THERE IS NO WAY MY VEHICLE IS OLD ENOUGH TO WARRANT THIS TYPE OF REPLACEMENT. IF I TURN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON AND COMPLETE A TURN THAT SWITCHES THE TURN SIGNAL OFF THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE WIPERS TO STAY ON. THEY ALSO WORK FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CLEANING BUT TURN BACK OFF ONCE THAT PROCESS IS COMPLETE. WE HAD TO DRIVE 300 MILES IN A BAD RAINSTORM AS WE WERE TRAVELING WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. NOW THEY WORK FOR THE MOST PART, BUT OCCASIONALLY THEY WON'T WORK SO THIS IS DEFINITELY SOME KIND OF ISSUE THAT DODGE NEEDS TO FIX. THERE ARE POSTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH EITHER THE SWITCH OR THE WIRING SYSTEM. *TR

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND NOTICED WITHIN THE FIRST 1000 MILES WHEN FILLING UP AND USING THE AUTO SHUT OFF, GAS WOULD SPILL OUT OF THE TANK ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP ITSELF AND TRIED OTHERS. I WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DODGE DEALER THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WOULD EVER COME ON INDICATING AN ISSUE. MY FUEL CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES BUT I CAN'T USE AUTO SHUTOFF ANY MORE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I'VE GOTTEN USE TO NOT FILLING UP BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHERS THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS. MY CAR GOES IN THE SHOP TUES 1/9/12 UNDER WARRANTY AND WONDERING WHAT THEY WILL SAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION BECAME RESISTANT TO SHIFTING AND SLIPPED IN AND OUT OF GEAR ERRONEOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

EVERYTIME I TRY TO FILL THE GAS TANK, IT SPEWS GAS BACK OUT AT ME. THE AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUTOFF WILL TRIP FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A BUNCH OF GAS SQUIRTING BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CANNOT BE SAFE. *TR
