2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THERE HAVE BEEN 2 RECALLS TO DATE ON THE MODEL YEAR 2005 DURANGO, 44,951 ALL TOGETHER. WITH MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILL TUBE BECAUSE OF A CHECK VALVE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. NO WARNINGS, NO LETTERS TO THE OWNERS OF THE DURANGO NOW TO ADVISE THEM TO USE CAUTION. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION NOW AND HAVE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE CORRECTED FOR ALL OF THE DURANGO OWNERS ON THE ROAD TODAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCNERN. THE PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED IN EARLIER MODELS, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE 2006 MODELS AS WELL.

DURING REFUELING, WHEN THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS, THERE IS AN OVERFLOW OF FUEL SPRAYING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK NECK. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOUR AGENCY TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION? FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO BURN WHILE PUMPING GAS DUE TO A SPARK OR EVEN WORSE, TO DIE? THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME CAR ON THE PREVIOUS YEAR, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THE 2006 MODEL SINCE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM? *TR

GASOLINE SPRAYS BACK ONTO PERSON FILLING THE TANK AFTER THE PUMP KICKS OFF. SAFETY ISSUE JUST PURCHASED AS A USED VEHICLE FROM THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN PULASKI , WI S&L MOTORS 2298 HWY 32 PULASKI,WI 54162 *JS

BEGINNING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT BEGAN SPEWING GASOLINE EVERYTIME I FILLED MY CAR AT THE GAS STATION. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS SINCE THAT TIME AND EVEN THOUGH DODGE HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM, SINCE MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT LISTED AS ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REPAIR I AM OUT OF LUCK. I FILED AN APPEAL WITH DODGE AND IT SEEMS THE CRITERIA FOR WHETHER OR NOT THE REPAIR WILL BE COVERED IS BASED ON WHETHER I AM A GOOD DODGE CUSTOMER. QUESTIONS SUCH AS DID I USE THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE, DID I OWN OTHER DODGE CARS, ETC. I THINK THAT SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, THAT DODGE SHOULD STAND BEHIND ITS CARS AND MAKE THE REPAIR. THIS ATTITUDE GUARANTEES THAT I WILL NOT BE A DODGE CUSTOMER IN THE FUTURE. *JS

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH GASOLINE, THE GAS WILL COME SPILLING OUT ONCE THE TANK IS FULL. APPROXIMATELY A PINT OF GASOLINE COMES SQUIRTING OUT, DOUSING THE HANDLE, SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND LEAVING A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY FOR THIS TO NOT HAPPEN IS TO PREVENT FILLING THE CAR GAS TANK. I.E. ONE CANNOT LET THE GAS OVERFLOW MECHANISM DETERMINE WHEN IT IS FULL. A RECALL WAS ALREADY MADE FOR THE 2005 DURANGO UNDER RECALL ID# 05V034000. MY USED 2006 VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS IT ERUPTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THE LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT IS THE FUEL TANK FILLER CHECK VALVE. THIS IS LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THE SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. DODGE DID A RECALL ON THE 2005 DURANGO BUT NOT THE 2006 DURANGO. $900 FOR THE PART PLUS LABOR. *TR
