2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN I FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS IT THE PUMP KICKED OFF BUT FUEL CAME SPILLING OUT FROM THE TANK. THE FUEL SPILLED OVER ME, THE CAR AND THE GROUND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE TIME THING BUT IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, EVEN WHEN I HAVE NOT FILLED THE TANK COMPLETELY. THIS HAS NOW CAUSED SERIOUS RUST AROUND MY TANK AND THROUGH THE CORNER PANEL. IT HAS NOW RUSTED THROUGH COMPLETELY. I AM AFRAID OF THE SAFETY OF THE TANK AND FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS. NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF LOST GAS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH, SHE ATTEMPTED TO AVOID A COLLISION AND FLIPPED ONTO THE GUARD RAIL. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS AND SCRAPES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN APRIL OF 2012 AND THE FUEL OVERFLOW WAS NOTICED IMMEDIATELY UPON PURCHASE. SELLER INFORMED THAT IT WAS A NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH ALL DURANGO VEHICLES AND THERE WAS NO FIX. IN THE MEANTIME, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AT EACH REFILL AND HAS CAUSED ME TO IMMEDIATELY WASH DOWN THE AREA (WHILE FUELING) TO PREVENT FIRE AND ADDITIONAL CORROSION. *TR

VEHICLE SPOTS HAS EVERYWHERE WHEN PUTTING GAS IN. CAN NOT PUT OVER 3/4 TANK IN OR A LEAST A GALLON IS COMING BACK ON YOUR FEET & GROUND. THE PAINT IS ALSO RUSTING UNDER THE GAS CAP NOW DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS. THE 2005. WAS RECALLED DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. THIS YEAR ALSO SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED! *TR

FILLING UP WITH GAS THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND A FEW SECONDS LATER GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK. *TR

PROBLEM WHEN REFILLING THE GAS TANK. WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILL PORT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AT THE GAS STATION BUT IT HAS HAPPENED CONSECUTIVE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. PROBABLY SPRAYS OUT 8 OR 12 OUNCES. *TR

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF THEN FUEL SPEWS OUT THE FILLER NECK OF THE VEHICLE THIS HAS CAUSED THE PAINT TO COME OFF AND A HOLE TO RUST IN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE JUST UNDER THE FUEL CAP. *TR

EVERY TIME WE FILL UP, THE GAS SPILLS OUT. BY THE TIME THE NOZZLE CLICKS, IT'S TOO LATE AND THE FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE TANK. MY DAUGHTER WAS NEAR ME WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME! I'VE USED VARIOUS GAS STATIONS, BUT IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. IT HAS TO BE THE INLET CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK. IT IS NOT USER ERROR. NOW I HAVE TO SIT THERE FOREVER AND PUMP SLOW, OR JUST GO WITH HALF A TANK, AND IN COLORADO, IT'S NOT SAFE TO DO THAT IF WE BREAK DOWN IN THE COLD AND SNOW. NO ONE FILLS THE TANK EXCEPT ME DUE TO OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. I CALLED DODGE YEARS AGO AND THEY SAID IT WOULD FALL ON ME TO PAY FOR THEIR PROBLEM! NOW, IT'S JUST GETTING ANNOYING THAT THIS STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. *TR

THE SHUT OFF VALVE HAS NOT WORKED CORRECTLY FOR OVER THE PAST YEAR. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK GAS IS SPIT BACK ON THE CAR AND DRIVEWAY SERVICE. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF I PAUSE FOR A PERIOD DURING FILLING THE TANK TO LET PRESSURE RELEASE. MY DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS, HAD TO BELIEVE WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I WOULD LIKE DODGE TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. HELP....... *TR

THIS VEHICLE DIES RANDOMLY GOING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN IT IS WET OUT IT IS WORSE. WITH NO WARNING THE VEHICLE JUST STALLS. DURING THIS YOU LOSS ALL CONTROLS OF THE VEHICLE. BUT YOU CAN TURN IT OVER AND IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES AND THERE DURANGO'S ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I HAVE HAD IT TO A DODGE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT ARE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE IN MY VEHICLE! *TR
