2007 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

FUEL SPILL OCCURS EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED. WHEN PUMP SENSES TANK IS FULL, IT SHUTS OFF AND MOMENTS LATER FUEL SPOUTS OUT OF CAR FROM FILL TUBE. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN FILLING SLOWLY. IN NEW YORK MOST STATIONS ARE SELF SERVICE AND REQUIRE YOU HOLD THE TRIGGER OF PUMP NOZZLE; ONE'S HAND (OR WORSE) IS FREQUENTLY SPRAYED WITH FUEL. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 12/10; THIS IS ON ONGOING PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD SPEW FROM THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR MECHANIC NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS AROUND 52,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO. MY WIFE WAS FUELING UP THE CAR AND WAS DOUSED WITH GAS ABOUT 5 SECONDS AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ENGAGED ON THE FUEL PUMP. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE THING, BUT THEN IT HAPPEND AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE 2005 DURANGOS ARE UNDER A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, SO THEY OBVIOUSLY COMPLETELY IGNORED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZZARD FOR HUMAN LIFE/ HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF GALLON OF GASOLINE WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND HAD BEEN A RECURRING FAILURE FOR APPROXIMATELY SEVEN MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) WHICH APPLIED TO THE 2005 MODEL BUT NOT THE 2007 MODEL YET THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER AGREED TO ASSIST WITH FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

WHEN FILLING MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS AT MANY STATIONS, THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF BUT THEN ABOUT HALF A QUART OF GAS "BURPS" BACK OUT OF THE TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED VEHICLE. AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AT ANY GAS STATION AND LETTING IF FILL UP TO THE AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF, GAS SPILLS OUT WITH GREAT FORCE RIGHT AFTER THE PUMPS AUTO CUT-OFF. IT SPURTED AS FAR OUT AS ABOUT 2-3 FEET FROM THE CAR AND THEN CONTINUES TO COME OUT AND GO DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT THERE IS PROBABLY AT LEAST 8-12 OUNCES OF FUEL SPILLAGE EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A FIRE, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM DOING RESEARCH THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. MANY YEARS 2005-2009 DURANGOS, JEEP WRANGLERS, AND JEEP CHEROKEES. IT IS CLEAR THAT CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO PUT FAULTY FILLER TUBES AND GAS TANKS ON THEIR VEHICLES EVEN AFTER THEY KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN OVER 200 COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON VARIOUS MODEL YEARS OF DURANGO'S JUST IN THIS PAST YEAR. CHRYSLER GIVES THE RUN AROUND EXPECTING PEOPLE TO PAY ANYWHERE FROM $200-$1500 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY THEM FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. THERE ARE ALSO PLENTY OF VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET SHOWING THIS PROBLEM. I URGE YOU TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION ON THE 2007 DURANGO AND OTHER MODELS AND INSTITUTE A RECALL TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. YOU ALL INVESTIGATED TOYOTA ONLY AFTER 32 COMPLAINTS WHICH ENDED UP BEING MORE USER ERROR THAN ANYTHING. I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS GOT A LOT MORE THAN 32 COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. PLEASE BE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR INVESTIGATIONS AND START ONE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO SLT STARTED OVERFLOWING DURING PUMPING GAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. ONCE THE TANK FILLS UP, IT SHOOTS ABOUT 500 ML OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP, SO I TRIED DIFFERENT STATION AND DIFFERENT PUMPS AND ALWAYS THE SAME RESULT. I ALSO TRIED TO FILL UP THE TANK ABOUT 90% OF THE WAY, PULL OUT THE PUMP TO LET IT VENT, AND THEN CONTINUE PUMPING AFTER THE TANK WAS VENTED. THIS DIDNT HELP. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I SHOOTS A HALF LITER OF GAS ONTO THE GROUND THAT SOAKES INTO THE GROUND, POOLS ON THE GROUND, AND RUNS ALL OVER THE CAR. IF SOMEONE WAS SMOKING OR SOMETHING SPARKED, A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN BE KILLED. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL! THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ME AT LEAST 20 TIMES, IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS TO SOME DEGREE EVEN WHILE KNOWING IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE TANK ON MY 2007 DURANGO 5.7L 4X4 THE AUTO FUEL SHUT OFF DOESN'T WORK RESULTING IN A MAJOR FUEL SPILL. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AS WELL AS A THERMAL EVENT HAZARD (FIRE HAZARD). HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS THAT I'VE USED IN THE LAST 5 FILL-UPS. I NOW HAVE TO TURN THE ELECTRICAL ON TO VIEW THE FUEL GAGE ON THE DASHBOARD AND STOP THE DELIVERY PUMP MANUALLY. *TR

WHEN FUELING ONE TO TWO QUARTS OF GAS WILL BURP OUT AFTER GAS HAS SHUT OFF . I KNOW THAT THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN FIXED UNDER A RECALL
