2007 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN FUELING MY DURANGO, THE GAS PUMP WILL KICK OFF BUT A SHORT TIME LATER GAS WILL SPILL/SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. I HAVE TRIED VARIOUS GAS PUMPS AND PUMP RATES ALL RESULTING IN THE SAME ACTIONS, USUALLY A GAS SOAKED SLEEVE, GAS RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. IT IS TO THE POINT MY WIFE IS SCARED TO FUEL OUR DURANGO. I HAVE CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SEEM TO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SUCH PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE NOTE OF THIS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE IT RESULTS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. *TR

MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 LIMITED OVERFLOWS GASOLINE AT THE FUEL FILLER NECK EACH TIME I ALLOW THE AUTO-SHUTOFF TO FILL THE TANK. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES. THE FUEL SHUTOFF ALWAYS WORKS, BUT A SECOND OR SO LATER, A LARGE SPRAY OF PRESSURIZED FUEL SQUIRTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK FROM AROUND THE FUEL NOZZLE. AGAIN, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION AND NO MATTER WHAT TEMPERATURE OR PRIOR FUEL LEVEL. IT HAS HAPPENED CONTINUALLY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. I CAN PREVENT THE OVERSPRAY BY SHUTTING OFF THE FUEL BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL AND ALLOWING THE NOZZLE TO STAND FOR 20 SECONDS BEFORE REMOVING IT. THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS I HAVE TALKED TO DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS HAPPENING. THIS IS A FIRE-SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED USED IN NOVEMBER 2011 WITH 45000 MILES. I HAVE FILLED THE TANK 3 TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE PUMP AUTO SHUT-OFF CLICKS AND A FEW CUPS OF FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE 2005 MODEL YEAR WAS RECALLED WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT 2007 HAD NOT YET BEEN RECALLED. *TR

MY DURANGO IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I SEE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE PLACE FOR. I HAVE THE FUEL SPEWING BACK OUT OF THE TANK WHEN I AM PUMPING GAS...THE NOZZLE WILL CLICK OFF, THEN A GEYSER SHOOTS OUT AND IT'S A LOT! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECALL/FIX THIS PROBLEM. HOW LONG OR HOW MANY VEHICLES IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE ANY ACTION WILL TAKE PLACE. ARE YA'LL WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE...A FIRE...ETC?? THIS IS A HAZARD, NOT ONLY FOR THE PERSON WHO IS FILLING UP THE TANK, BUT FOR THE GAS STATION AS WELL. WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME, MY HAND BURNED FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY, AND THIS WAS AFTER I WASHED IT SEVERAL TIMES....NOT TO MENTION MY SCRUBS WERE RUINED. SOMETHING SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURTS! *TR

WHEN USING THE BLINKER IT COMMONLY FLASHES THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION BEING TURNED. ALSO FREQUENTLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL STOP WORKING AND/OR GO FROM A FAST SETTING TO A SLOW SETTING. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK EXTRA GASOLINE IS SPIT OUT OF THE TANK WHICH IS A FIRE ISSUE FOR THE GAS STATION. IF WE ARE FILLING THE GAS TANK, WHEN THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY STOPS GAS POURS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. ALSO THE GAS CAP LIGHT CAME ON RECENTLY & THE GAS CAP WAS REPLACED BUT LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE THE SAME RECALL AS THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY. WE ARE TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER IN LITTLE FALLS, NJ ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2011 FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE MADE. IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND OTHER DODGE DURANGOS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF A 2007 DODGE DURANGO DEMONSTRATING WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF FILLING THE TANK. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FS5U63CN-II. *TR

UPON NORMAL FUELING OF THE VEHICLE, GAS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY EXPEL FROM FUEL INLET WHEN THE GAS STATION FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS CAUSES DANGEROUS FUEL TO BE IN CONTACT WITH PEOPLE, VEHICLE, OBJECTS AND GROUND AT FUEL STATION. THIS IS A CONDITION THAT WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE OWNER OR FROM NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS OBVIOUS FUELING DEFECT IS CAUSE FOR GENERAL PUBLIC CONCERN FOR MANY REASONS; EXCESSIVE SKIN CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS, THREAT OF MAJOR FIRE OR EXPLOSION THAT COULD INJURE, HARM OR KILL INDIVIDUALS AND IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD TO THE COMMUNITY. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE FUEL TANK WHILE REFUELING. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER OR A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE RPMS WOULD FLUCTUATE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IDLE. MOST RECENTLY, THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION OR IDLE. THE FAILURE WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,017 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

I WILL BE DRIVING AND MY 4WD LOCK WILL ENGAGE WITHOUT ME TURNING IT ON CAUSING MY TIRES TO STICK TO THE ROAD. IT PREVENTS ME FROM TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT THE CAR ACTING LIKE IT IS GOING TIP OVER. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS EXPERIENCED WITH THE 2006 DODGE DURANGOS. *TR
