2007 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

OUR DURANGO RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN WE ARE IDLE. IT HAPPENS A LOT WHEN MAKING TURNS AND I LOOSE STEERING AS WELL. ABS INDICATOR ON AS WELL AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT USUALLY SHOWS O2 SENSORS OR CRANK SHAFT SENSORS. HAD BOTH REPLACED MANY TIMES AND THE ISSUE STILL OCCURS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS IT IS OUR FAMILY CAR.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE DURANGO AND NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TRUCK AT A GAS STATION, INSTEAD OF THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF ONCE THE GAS TANK WAS FULL, GAS WOULD SPIT/BACK OUT OF THE NOZZLE AREA AND RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I AT FIRST THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE GAS STATION, BUT IT HAS OCCURRED THREE MORE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND APPARENTLY, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER DODGE OWNERS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON DODGE BEHALF. I'M AFRAID THAT BECAUSE I HAVE TO WAIT TO COME UP WITH THE DEDUCTIBLE, A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR IN THE MEANTIME. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS LETTER.

WHEN FILLING TANK THE FUEL FILLER HOSE SPRAYS FUEL BACK EVERYWHERE. I AM SCARED TO FILL MY TANK UP AS IT IS A RISK THAT GAS GETS SPRAYED ALL OVER YOU. MY VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AT THE PUMP TURNED OFF. IN GOOGLING IT SEEMS MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

VEHICLES 4X4 LOCK TURNED ON BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND NOW IT IS HARD TO START THE VEHICLE AS I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS TO START THE VEHICLE AND MAKES THE RPMS JUMP RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND IN IDLE, AND I BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALER 3 DAYS AGO.

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2007 DURANGO AND UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK UP, THE GAS SPEWED OUT. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THAT PARTICULAR PUMP, BUT IT ALWAYS DOES THIS WHEN FILLING UP. FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER NECK WHEN TANK IS FILLED. VERY DANGEROUS. POTENTIAL FOR SOME VERY BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN.

TAKATA RECALL (NOT SURE). WHILE DRIVING (40 MPH TO 45 MPH) ON A RAINY AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 18, 20017 THE RIGHT SIDE PANEL AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT BEEN IN ANY TYPE OR ACCIDENT OR NOTHING, BESIDES THAT IT WAS RAINING VERY HARD. IT SOUND LIKE A BIG EXPLOSION INSIDE THE CAR MAKING ME ALMOST LOST VEHICLE CONTROL.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH AUTO SHUT OFF NOZZLE IT WILL SPIT BACK A CUP OR MORE OF GAS WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. THIS IS WITH VEHICLE STANDING STILL. IT DOES IT EVERYTIME WITH ANY FUEL PUMP.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES ALL POWER AND DIES WITH NO REAL WARNING. IT HAS DIED ON THE FREEWAY NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR, ON SIDE STREETS GOING UNDER 30, WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS, WHILE PLACED IN PARKED IN PARKING LOTS, AND ONCE WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS DISPLAYED AND DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. WHEN IT DIES ON THE FREEWAY I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY PULL OVER SO THAT I CAN PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART IT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, AS I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED LAST TIME IT DIED.

TAKATA RECALL, CONTACTED DEALER TO REPLACE AIRBAG THEY SAID I WAS ON A WAITING LIST AND AS THEY RECEIVED PARTS WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN MY NAME COMES UP BUT IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL. IN ADDITION, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE, ESP, AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS DISPLAYED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.
