2008 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

GAS TANK FUEL PUMP UNIT LEAKING DUE TO SEVERELY DETERIORATED AND CRACKED PLASTIC. THIS WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE CAUSE OF A DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT. ONLY AFTER DROPPING THE FUEL TANK IS THE FUEL PUMP UNIT VISIBLE. AIR BUBBLES COULD BE SEEN COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP UNIT. A METAL ATTACHMENT RING WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND THE FUEL UNIT PLASTIC CASING WAS DETERIORATED AND LEAKING. THE WHITE PLASTIC USED FOR THE FUEL UNIT DOES NOT SEEM APPROPRIATE FOR THE HEAT AND CORROSION IN THAT LOCATION. THE FUEL PUMP UNIT WAS REPLACED AND THE WARNING LIGHT IS OFF. THIS VEHICLE HAD THE FUEL FILL TUBE REPLACED SIX MONTHS EARLIER TO RESOLVE THE FUEL SPILL PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE MODEL. THE WARNING LIGHT ONLY APPEARED AFTER THAT SERVICE. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ONCE WITHOUT FINDING THE CAUSE, AND A SECOND TIME WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND. ONCE THE LIGHT COMES ON IT DOESN'T GO OFF. THE OWNER HAS SOME SUSPICION THAT THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE GAS TANK IS A LITTLE LOW ON FUEL. PREVIOUSLY GAS FUMES COULD SOMETIMES BE NOTED. THE CAR IS STORED OUTSIDE. I, THE OWNER, AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE WHITE PLASTIC MATERIAL USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FUEL PUMP UNIT.

TAMARA RECALL. NO LONGER HAVE STABLE CONTROL OF MY 08 DODGE DURANGO. AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AS WELL AS ESP ABS TRACTION LIGHT.

WHEN TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR THE STREET AT 40 TO 50 MPH MY 2008 DODGE DURANGO ALMOST LOSES CONTROL WHENEVER I HIT A GROOVE IN THE ROAD OR THE SLIGHTEST BUMP. MY SUSPENSION HAS BEEN CHECK SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING IS EVER FOUND TO BE WRONG. I WAS RECENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER RECALL WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I WAS INFORMED THIS WAS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OR THE "ROAD WALK". WHEN I HIT A BUMP MY TRUCK CAN LITERALLY SKIP INTO THE NEXT LANE. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR DODGE SUVS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING SO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. MY FIRST STEP IS TO FILE A VEHICLE SAFETY TO MAKE YOU GUYS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING AND I'VE IGNORED IT THINKING THAT IS JUST THE WAY THESE TRUCKS ARE MADE, BUT AFTER ALMOST LOSING CONTROL WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

TAKATA RECALL PARTS FOR REPAIR ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND I WANT TO SELL MY VEHICLE. DEADLY SHRAPNEL IS NOT A A POSTIVE SELLING FEATURE.

TAKATA RECALL OVER THE LAST YEAR I HAVE BEGIN SEEING A LOT OF RUST SPOTS ON SEVERAL PARTS OF THE HOOD, BODY AND BACK OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD USED VEHICLES OF DIFFRENT BRAND THAT PAINT HELD UP BUT, MY VEHICLE IS WHITE AND THIS IS VERY NOTICEABLE. LACK OF USING THE CORRECT RUST TREATMENT IN THE PAINT BY MANUFACTURE CLEARLY COULD IS THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND LOOKED INTO. THE USE OF SHORT CUTS AND CHEAP PRODUCT IS UNFAIR TO THE THOUSANDS THAT I'VE PAD OUT. TAKATA RECALL, CLEARLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER AS YEAR TO HAVE MY AIR BAGS REPLACED. THE FACT IS THEY DON'T HAVE ANY TO DO THE REPLACEMENT. HOW MUCH SINCE DOES IT MAKE TO DO ONE AND NOT BOTH AT ONCE. INSTEAD THEY WANT TO CAUSE HARDSHIP TO MJE AND KEEP MY VEHICLE WITHOUT A RENTAL AND THEN INCONVIUENCE ME TO COME BACK TO HAVE THE OTHER REPLACED. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS AIR BAG KILLS ME OR ME AD MY PASSENGER THEN WHAT!!!!!!!

TAKATA RECALL, EVERY THING ELECTRICAL DOES NOT FUNCTION ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE WINDOW IT ROLLS DOWN ON IT'S OWN. MY DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK OR LICENSE NUMBER TAIL LIGHT DOES NOT WORK WHEN IN DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH ME BEING STOPPED BY STATE TROOPERS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY/ COUNTY POLICE ON A LOCAL ROAD. NOT USING A SIGNAL WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN IS A VIOLATION. NOT HAVING BREAK LIGHTS FUNCTIONING WHEN AT A STOP IS ALSO A VIOLATION. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE FAULTY WIRES AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL BUT, NOT FOR THE 2008 DODGE DURANGO SLT V8 4.7LT. TAKATA RECALL. THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER ENGINE IS BAD AND SHOULD HAD A RECALL DUE TO THE FAULTY WIPER ENGINE. SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
