2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

YOU CAN NOT FILL THE GAS TANK OVER 3/4 FULL AS IT WILL RESULT IN A MASSIVE FUEL SPILLAGE OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE BACKWASH OUT OF THE TANK WILL COVER YOU AND THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND YOU WITH FUEL. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT KIND OF FUEL STATION IS FILLING IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. IF THERE WAS ANY KIND OF SPARK A LARGE FIRE WOULD OCCUR. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS AN INNUMERABLE AMOUNT OF ISSUES LIKE A CRACKED PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FROM A BAD BOLT AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE THE RADIO AND OVERHEAD LIGHT ONLY WORK WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT - BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THIS TRANSMISSION. THIS MORNING I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO LEAVE THE DRIVEWAY AND AS I SHIFTED TO GO INTO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. IT WOULDN'T GO INTO DRIVE, REVERSE OR EVEN NEUTRAL. THE WHEELS LOCKED UP COMPLETELY LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. THE CAR SAT IN THE ROAD UNTIL I COULD GET A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO A CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. LAST WEEK I HAD TAKEN IT TO A DIFFERENT CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP TO CHECK A TRANSMISSION CODE THAT CAME UP UNDER A GENERAL P-007 CODE WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NO TRANSMISSION CODES WERE PRESENT IN THE BIG COMPUTER IN THE SHOP...THE GUY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. THIS MORNING THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON AT ALL. SINCE WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL HAVE ACTED A LITTLE FLAKY BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS, VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE 4WD SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE 4WD WILL SWITCH ON AND OFF AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT MANUALLY BEING CHANGED. IT HAS A VERY LOUD SHIFTING SOUND THAT I NOTICE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON AND OFF. THE 4WD WILL TURN ON AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND TAKING TURNS IT WILL COME ON AND MAKE A VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE. I HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND IS HARD TO DRIVE DURING MY HOME HEALTH JOB. WHEN IT GETS INTO 4HI OR 4LO I AM STUCK IN SOME PLACES BECAUSE IT WILL NOT TURN PROPERLY. I CAN NOT GET IT TO SWITCH OUT OF 4WD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DODGE DEALERS AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS BECOME A VERY FRUSTRATING PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD OVERFLOW FROM THE FUEL TANK WHEN REFUELING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL REMEDY PERFORMED AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT READILY AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS AT THE GAS STATION IF FILLED COMPLETELY. THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING. I HAVE TRIED ADJUSTING THE WAY I HOLD THE GASOLINE NOZZLE, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD! IT IS HARD TO KEEP IF FROM HAPPENING. WHEN IT HAPPENS, GASOLINE FLIES OUT EVERYWHERE, GETTING ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND MYSELF. IT IS SCARY. THIS NEEDS A RECALL! IN ADDITION, THE BODY UNDERNEATH OF THE FUEL TANK HAS RUSTED AS THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

THE FUEL FILLER VALVE IS FAILING AND ALLOWS THE FUEL TO SPILL OUT OF THE GAS TANK EVEN WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT WAS RECALLED FOR 2005 WHY NOT 2006?
