2007 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FILLING IT WITH GAS. I JUST PURCHASED IT IN MAY 2010 AND EVERYTIME I GET GAS I HAVE TO VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND BEGINS TO SPEW GAS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND HAS HAPPENED TO FAMILY MEMBERS DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH THE AMOUNT OF GAS IT SPEWS THAT IT MAY SPARK A FIRE OR WORSE YET SOMEONE GET DOUSED WITH GASOLINE. IT IS QUITE A SPEW. EVEN WHEN I MANUALLY PUMP IT WILL STILL SPEW. IT IS VERY SCARY! THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN! *TR

OUR 2007 DURANGO STARTED HAVING FUEL SPIT BACK AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME A COMPLETE FILL IS PERFORMED. THE SPIT BACK IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT, SPRAYING BACK OUT OF THE FILL NOZZLE AND RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. A SHORT TIME PRIOR TO THE 1ST OCCURRENCE OF SPIT BACK THE LOOSE GAS CAP INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, ALTHOUGH THE CAP WAS VERIFIED AS CLOSED. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, AT THE COMPLETION OF FILLING THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF AS NORMAL BUT ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1-2 QUARTS OF FUEL COMES RUSHING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IF I AM LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE SELECTED A FUEL PUMP WITH A RUBBER "SHIELD", THE FUEL ONLY SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND THEN CREATES A SIZABLE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. IF I USE A PUMP WITH NO "SHIELD", I USUALLY END UP WITH A SATURATED SLEEVE EVEN IF I TRY TO GENTLY FINISH FILLING THE TANK. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM CAUSING A FIRE AND INJURING NOT ONLY MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, BUT ANY OTHERS NEAR ME AT THE GAS STATION.

AT THE FINISH OF FUELING THE GAS TANK SPITS ABOUT A QUART OR TWO OF GAS, STRAIGHT OUT OF THE TANK. THIS JUST STARTED ABOUT 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE HAS 65000 MILES, THEREFORE OUT OF WARRANTY. I'M THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. THIS DIDN'T USE TO HAPPEN. AND THIS IS MY EXPENSE TO FIX??? THIS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE. GAS SPEWING EVERYWHERE. IN ADDITION TO THE GAS TANK I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE "INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER" REPLACED. ALL GAUGES WENT CRAZY, NO TURN INDICATORS, ALL BEEPERS BEEPING, ALL GAUGE LIGHTS ON, COULDN'T TELL WHAT GEAR I WAS IN BECAUSE ALL GEAR LIGHTS LIT UP, NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS, NO FAN, HEATER OR DEFROST. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LIGHTS AND GAUGES AND LIGHTS WERE STILL LIT UP! LIKE THE CAR WAS POSSESSED. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE AND THE CAR SEEMED TO RESET. ONLY LASTED 100 MILES BEFORE THE SAME SYMPTOMS RECURRED. TO THE SHOP THE CAR GOES... "INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER" OUT AT 62000 MILES. COST ABOUT $800...OUT OF WARRANTY BY 10000 MILES. NOW THE FUELING ISSUE. WOW! NOT GOOD. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO UP WITH GAS, THE GAS OVER FLOWS AND SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER INLET AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF SPEWING GAS EVERYWHERE INCLUDING ON MY PERSON. MY DURANGO HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS JUST STARTED DOING THIS THE PAST 1.5 MONTHS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL PUMPS AND EVEN HAPPENS WHEN SHUTTING OFF THE PUMP BY HAND. *TR

MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO SPEWS FUEL OUT WHEN I FILL UP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING WRONG, BUT IT DOES IT EVEN WHEN I FILL UP VERY SLOWLY. AFTER A BIT OF RESEARCH AND SPEAKING WITH MY MECHANIC IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND I WISH DODGE WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT- THEY DID FOR THE 2005 MODEL YEAR. HOW IS THIS ANY LESS DANGEROUS? I HAUL MY KIDS AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE ALL THE TIME AND THE LAST THING I WANT IS ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO THEM. *TR

ON MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO EVERY TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED IT OVERFLOWS ONTO THE GROUND WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE FUMES ARE BAD INSIDE THE TRUCK AFTER THIS OVERFLOW AND I HAVE A CHILD RIDING IN THERE SO I HAVE TO WASH THE TRUCK EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY GAS PUMP BUT AFTER IT HAPPENED REPEATEDLY AT VARIOUS STATIONS I REALIZED IT WAS THE VEHICLE. THEN I THOUGHT IT MUST BE THE FILLER NECK SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO HAVE IT REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND $213 LATER IT STILL OVERFLOWING ON THE GROUND. NEXT I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED MANY MANY PEOPLE ARE. 2005 THROUGH 2008 THAT I HAVE SEEN AND EVERYONE SAYS YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE VALVE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2005 MODELS AND I CAN SEE WHY DODGE WOULD WANT TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM ON THE REST BECAUSE IT WILL COST THEM MONEY BUT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT FORCED THEM TO DO A RECALL. THIS PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. WHAT OTHER VEHICLES DUMP GAS ON THE GROUND WHEN THEY ARE 3 YEARS OLD? NONE! A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BLOWN UP OR BURNED. *TR

2007 DODGE DURANGO THAT NOW LETS GAS SPILL OUT WHEN FILLING. WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE BUT AFTER 3.5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP IT NOW SPILLS ABOUT A QUART OF GAS OUT THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK BEFORE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN DAMAGE THE PAINT BELOW THE FILLER TUBE. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS, THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT THE FILLER TUBE. THIS RESULTS IN A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLING ON THE VEHICLE AND ON TO THE GROUND. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY OPEN RECALLS. *TR

WHEN ACTIVATING THE TURN SIGNAL TO THE LEFT, THE INDICATOR WILL COME ON AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, WILL START FLASHING TO THE RIGHT INSTEAD OF THE LEFT. AT TIMES, IT WILL JUMP BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND LEFT INDICATORS, AND SOMETIMES NOT TURN ON AT ALL. AS OF 1-2-3-2011, THEY ARE TOTALLY INOPERATIVE.
