2009 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THE MOTHER OF MY CHILD OWNS A 2009 DODGE DURANGO THIS IS A NICE TRUCK BUT HAS SOME ISUES RACING IDLE TODAY IT STALLED AT 70 MILES MPH ON THE HIGHWAY BAD GAS MILIEGE I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ABOUT IT FOUND THEIR IS AN ISUE WITH EITHER ELECTRICAL OR THROTTLE BODY CLEANING. I READ COMPLAINTS ALL OVER NOBODY OR NOTHING TAKES CARE OF IT SHE ALSO HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH THE TRUCK BECAUSE AT STOP LIGHT SHE SAID THE TRUCK IDLE RACED TO FOUR THOUSAND RPM AND TOOK OF ON ITS OWN HIT FIVE CARS BEFORE IT STOPED. HER FOOT WASENT EVEN NEAR GAS PEDAL I REALLY THINK ITS TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED

WHILE FILLING VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE THE TANK OVERFLOWED WHEN THE PUMP CLICKED OFF. GASOLINE RAN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND ONTO THE GROUND. HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, SAME ISSUE AS FOUND IN EARLIER MODEL GEN 2 DURANGO'S. *TR

DURING THE FIRST EPISODE/EVENT, SUDDENLY, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF, THE WARNING CHIMES SOUNDED, THE ILLUMINATION FOR THE RADIO AND OTHER SIMILAR COMPONENTS BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, THERE WAS A PERSISTENT LOUD CLICKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AS WELL AS VARIOUS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH EVEN WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT AN ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX UNDER THE DASH HAD 'CORRODED', AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ALSO ADVISED THAT THIS WAS DUE TO WATER FROM FOLLOWING A WIRE LEADING FROM THE ROOF. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A SUN/MOON ROOF. THE COST, PARTS AND LABOR, WERE OVER $ 800.00. IN JANUARY 2013, THE SAME SYMPTOMS RETURNED. THIS TIME AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THE SAME PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY THE "WATER FROM MY BOOTS." THE FACT THAT THIS JUNCTION BOX IS ABOVE THE FLOOR LINE MAKES THAT EXPLANATION IMPLAUSIBLE. THE COST TO REPLACE PARTS AND LABOR, $ 775.00. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE DURANGO HYBRID. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND ONCE THEY PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE INSTRUCTIONS STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SHIFTED INTO DRIVE WITHOUT THE BRAKES BEING PRESSED. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT ALSO WAS ONLY ABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MINIMAL ABILITY. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE INSPECTED BY AN ENGINEER, BUT THAT HAD NOT HAPPENED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 50,000.

WHEN FUELING 2006 DODGE DURANGO, FUEL ERUPTS OUT OF FUEL TANK FILLER WHEN TANK FILLS COMPLETELY. THIS IS IDENTICAL TO RECALL 05V034000 BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE 2006 MODEL YEAR. *TR

BOUGHT CAR FROM DEALER IN ABU DHABI - UAE. AT 1500KM THE COOLING FAN WOULDN'T TURN OFF EVEN I SWITCH OFF THE CAR... SO I WAS OBLIGED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THE PROBLEM WAS THE RELAY. AT 2000KM THE ROOF HATCH WAS LEAKING!.. THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE WITH DEALER; IT TOOK THEM 2 WEEKS TO ORDER FROM GERMANY!.. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH GAS SHOOTING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN TANK IS NEARLY FULL. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE DUE TO GAS SPILLING OUT ONTO THE GROUND POSSIBLY CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THIS IS ON A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WITH 26,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
