2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BAR ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FRACTURED AND CAUSED HER TO FALL. THE CONTACT INJURED HER RIGHT KNEE AS A RESULT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HER THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 127,079.

WHEN I FUEL MY VEHICLE THE FUEL SPILLS BACK ONTO ME. IF I STAND AWAY IT GOES ONTO THE GROUND. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE THEY STATED THE CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. THIS WILL AT SOME POINT CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE. DODGE HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS ON MODEL YEARS 2005-2008 (WHICH INCLUDES MY VEHICLE YEAR) FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND, BUT FAILS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH MY VIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 103,000.

THE FUEL TANK SPITS OUT ABOUT A QUART OF GAS WHEN REFILLING TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I HAVE REFILLED SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2006. I HAVE RESORTED TO FILLING ONLY 3/4 FULL FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS SINCE MY DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM TO THE LYNDSEY CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER IN ST ROBERTS, MO SEVERAL TIMES BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE 2006 DURANGO. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2006 DODGE DURANGO ON 11/2/2012 AND WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP AND IT OVER FLOWED ABOUT A 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS ON THE GROUND AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I FIRST THOUGHT MAYBE I DIDN'T HAVE IT ALL THE WAY IN THE GAS TANK. BUT THEN I GASSED UP AGAIN ON THE 10TH OF NOVEMBER 2012 AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I AM REALLY UPSET ABOUT THIS ISSUE. DODGE SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ANY OF MY FAMILY WE WILL BE SUING DODGE!!!!! I AM SURPRISED NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT YET. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!! I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT HATE THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE!!! *TR

WHILE FUELING THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION I KEEP CONTINUING TO HAVE BACK-FLOW OF GAS PROPELLING OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT WHEN FILLING UP. IT IS HAPPENING EVERY-TIME AND I THINK THIS IS NOT A SAFE THING TO HAVE GAS COMING FLYING BACK OUT AND GETTING OVER THE GROUND & MYSELF. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE 2005 MODELS WHICH HAVE A RECALL AND NOW THE 2006-2008 MODELS HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN IF MANUFACTURED AFTER FEB 20006 & ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT COVERED BUT HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN I TRY TO FILL UP MY FUEL TANK, WHEN THE PUMP STOPS, GAS IS EXPELLED OUT OF MY TANK AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE CAR AND GROUND. THE FUEL IS EXPELLED WITH SOME FORCE. *TR

FUEL SPIT BACK. AS MANY OTHERS HAVE STATED THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE NOT TO MENTION AN ENVIRONMENTAL ONE. HOW CAN THIS BE A USER PROBLEM WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A MALFUNCTION OF PARTS PROBABLY THE SAME AS THE 2005 RECALL. I AM SENDING AN EMAIL TO CHRYSLER AND THE EPA SEE WHO COMES BACK FIRST. *TR

FUEL SPIT BACK WHILE REFUELING FROM FUEL FILLER TUBE HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND TIMES. *TR

WHENEVER I PUT GAS IN THE TANK, IT COMES BACK OUT WHEN IT REACHES FULL. IT SPRAYS AND SPLASHES OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. I AVOID THIS NOW BY FILLING THE TANK VERY SLOWLY FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF GALLONS AND TRYING TO LISTEN FOR ANY GAS THAT MAY BE COMING BACK OUT AT ME. IT STILL COMES OUT SOMETIMES. EITHER WAY, THIS ISN'T RIGHT. *TR
