2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

GAS SHOOTS OUT OF FILLER NECK AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. *TR.... UPDATED 06117/16 *BF

LIKE EVERY ONE OF THIS TYPE VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER EVERY TIME YOU FUEL UP IT SHUTS THE PUMP OFF THEN SPEWS A COUPLE CUPS OF GAS BACK OUT ONTO WHO EVER IS THERE OR ONTO THE GROUND. I KNOW YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS AND HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT. WHY. YOU RECALLED A FEW IN 2005 AND IN RESEARCH ON LINE YOU CAN SEE NOTHING GOOD HAPPENED. IT IS TIME TO FIX IT NOW. *TR

AS I WAS EXITING A HIGHWAY, MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SUDDENLY STALLED OUT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER IT STALLED. I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE. I NEARLY CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ENOUGH TO RUN INTO THE CURB TO STOP MY VEHICLE! I WAS NOT ABLE TO RE-START IT AND HAD TO BE TOWED. WHILE WAITING FOR POLICE TO ARRIVE, I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WAS TOWED TO A SHOP AND THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO START IT UP WITH NO PROBLEM THE NEXT MORNING. HE CHECKED EVERYTHING, AND RAN ALL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS - ALL CAME BACK SHOWING NO PROBLEMS. THERE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM - AND THERE ARE MAN, MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT ALL OVER THE INTERNET. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE, SINCE I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO STEER OR BRAKE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A FATALITY BEFORE THIS IS RECALLED AND FIXED?????? I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT NOW! *TR

EVERYTIME MYSELF OR MY WIFE FILLS UP THE GAS TANK, IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF WITHOUT SPEWING GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WE HAVE MONITORED THE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS TESTIMONIES TO INCLUDE VIDEO OF THE SAME ISSUE. THE STATEMENT RELEASED THAT IT'S BECAUSE OF OPERATOR NEGLIGENCE IS COMPLETELY FALSE. IT'S TO THE POINT THAT WE HAVE TO HOLD THE HANDLE AT A SLOW FILL SPEED IN ORDER TO NOT LOSE FUEL ALL OVER THE GROUND. I HAVE LOST GALLONS WORTH OF FUEL NOT TO NEGATE THE ISSUE OF SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY EVERYTIME THE FUEL DUMPS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, GASOLINE BEGAN SPEWING FROM THE FILLER NECK AND THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. UPDATED 3/20/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED WITHIN TWO SECONDS OF THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OF THE FUEL NOZZLE, GAS SPEWED BACK OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING WITH THE NOZZLE STILL INSERTED.

OUR DODGE CONSISTENTLY STALLS AND DIES WHEN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND/OR SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO MAKE TURNS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE DIES RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF BRAKES, STEERING,ETC. MULTIPLE TIMES THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR HAS CAUSED US TO JUMP THE CURB ALMOST HITTING TREES, ETC. WE'VE ALSO HAD THIS HAPPEN PULLING TRAILERS AND BOATS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I'D LIKE TO SEE DODGE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

I WAS PUMPING GAS. IT GOT TO ABOUT 1.7 GALLONS AND THEN THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKED AND THEN GAS SHOT OUT OF MY GAS TANK WITH MY CHILD STANDING BESIDE THE GAS TANK. IF HE WAS ANY CLOSER IT COULD'VE GOT IN HIS EYES! *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO, WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN APPROACHING FULL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON NUMEROUS CHRYSLER MAKES AND MODELS,INDICATING THE PROBLEM IS WITH A FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. ONLY CERTAIN SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS ARE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DESPITE THE FACT THAT THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED. CHRYSLER HAS DENIED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING MANUFACTURE DEFECT, I ASSUME TO KEEP FROM HAVING TO SPEND POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS NOT ONLY A FIRE HAZARD, BUT AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD A WELL. PLEASE TAKE THE APPROPRIATE STEPS TO REQUIRE THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION TO INCLUDE ANY VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT IN AN UPDATED RECALL. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, CRASHING INTO A WALL. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE SHOULDER. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT RESTRAIN THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE CRASH AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE DID NOT TRIGGER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SPECIFICATIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
