2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

ON 6/14/2015 I WAS ABOUT TO BACK MY TRAILER INTO MY YARD, WHEN MY GEAR SHIFT COLUMN SELECTOR LOCKED IN PARK. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. ADDITIONALLY, MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NO LONGER WORKING. PRIOR TO ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS I HAD TO REPLACE MY IGNITION FOR IT WAS LOCKING AND WOULD NOT TURN TO THE ON POSITION OR ACCESSORIES POSITION. IT COST ME $400 DOLLARS FOR A NEW IGNITION TO BE INSTALLED BY THE DEALER AND NOW I HAVE WORSE PROBLEMS THAN BEFORE. SO I BEGAN RESEARCHING AND HERE IS MY FINDINGS: 1) SAFETYRECALL G28 -IGNITION/PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK IN 2001 AND 2002 MODELS FOR MANY VEHICLES WHICH INCLUDED THE DURANGO. 2) THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK CONNECTOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED WILL NOT ALLOW THE SHIFTER TO MOVE. SO IF THE DEALER KNOWS ABOUT THESE RECALLS WHY DIDN'T THEY FIX THEM FREE OF CHARGE.

MY 2006 DURANGO WILL SHIFT INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING. SOMETIMES THIS OCCURS WHEN UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE WHEN NOT RUNNING, USING THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE SEEM MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING.

WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, THE GAS DOES NOT STOP FLOWING WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THE INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK, THEREFORE GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK.

I AM THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE PURCHASED IN 2006. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED ANY CRASHES MINOR OR MAJOR. INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR CONDITION WOULD BE CONSIDERED EXCELLENT, EXCEPT WHAT IS NOTED BELOW. BROKEN LATCH PLATE PLASTIC COVERS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND MIDDLE SEATS. THE BELTS FOR THESE SEATS WILL SLIDE AT WILL, MOVE FREELY AND NOT PREVENT THE OCCUPANT FROM GOING UP OR FORWARD IN A VEHICLE CRASH. BOTTOM-LINE, MY MUTLI-PASSENGER VEHICLE IS ONLY SAFE FOR THE DRIVER TO OCCUPY. I HAVE MULTIPLE PICTURES OF THESE BELTS IF REQUESTED.

VEHICLE RAN HOT ON THIS DATE,FOLLWING THE NEXT DAY ITSHOWED NO PROBLEM. FOR THE PAST 2 YEAR AT A STAND STILL FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES VEHICLE GAGE MONITOR IS GOING UP SHOWING SIGNS OF RUNNING HOT. I WOULD IMEDIATELY SHUT THE ENGINE OFF FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE. THEN CRANK BACK UP. THE GAGE WOULD GO DOWN BACK TO NORMAL STATUS. IF I COME TO ANOTHER STOP AT A STOP LIGHT IT WILL GO UP AGAIN. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT CHECKED, ACCESSOR FINDS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT'S A FUNNY THING WINTER MONTHS MY SUV WOULD NEVER RUN HOT. HERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA IT IS GETTING HOT AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOW STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD 3 TO 4 INCIDENTS WITH MY VEHICLE RUNNING HOT 2015 AND IS SURE MORE ARE TO COME. AS USUAL I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF TO MAKE THE GAGE GO BACK TO NORMAL. AND YES THE RUNNING HOT LIGHT DOES COME ON. WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE ARE OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHAT SHOULD I DO TO FIX IT.
