2008 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A FILLING STATION FUEL PUMP WITH ENGINE OFF. WHEN THE FILLING PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF BACK PRESSURE FROM THE VEHICLES FUEL TANK FORCES A STREAM OF GASOLINE BACK OUT OF THE FILL NECK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN SEVERAL CHRYSLER VEHICLES CAUSED BY A FAULTY CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK.

THE VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THROWING A CODE SO THE VEHICLE CAN NOT GET AN INSPECTION STICKER. THE CODE IS FOR THE CLOCK SPRING WITH ELECTRONIC STABILTIY CONTROL. THIS PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND IS BACK ORDERED PER THE DEALER. CALLED DODGE AND GOT A LOT OF I DON'T KNOW WITH NO RESOLUTION . THIS PART IS A $900 PART YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD HAVE AN ANSWER AS TO WHEN IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THEY SHOULD SUPPLY AN EXTENDED WARANTY ON THIS PART SEEING AS EVERY DURANGO SEEMS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NO AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY WITHOUT THIS PART.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, I HAD SOME FUEL LEAK OUT WHEN I WAS FINISHED PUMPING, PROBABLY A HALF GALLON AT LEAST. IT THEN RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING A FIRE THREAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS

WHENEVER IT GETS MOISTURE AND USUALLY COLD, THE DUMMY LIGHTS COME ON AND WE LOSE SOME OF THE FUNCTIONS SUCH AS CRUISE CONTROL, LIGHTS, ABS ETC. IT HAS DONE IT SINCE BEING FAIRLY NEW AND WOULD RESOLVE ITSELF AFTER THE WEATHER CHANGED AND IT "DRIED" UP OUTSIDE. NOW THE STEERING WHEEL CLICKS, THE DUMMY LIGHTS NO LONGER SHUT OFF, AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE AIR BAG RECALL. I'M TOLD IT NEEDS A CLOCK SPRING ALSO AND IT IS RIGHT BY THE RECALLED PART. WE HAD TO PAY OVER $400 FOR THE CONTROL PANEL BUT COULD NOT AFFORD THE CLOCK SPRING. THE CLOCK SPRING WITH THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL IS $1000 FOR JUST THE PART. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED WITH THE AIR BAG BECAUSE IT IS JUST AS DANGEROUS AND THIS IS THE THIRD DODGE I HAVE OWNED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO. THE OTHER 2 WERE 1999 DODGE RAM AND A 1999 DODGE CARAVAN. THE INTERNET IS CROWDED WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CLOCK SPRING

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION KEY STICK IN THE STARTING POSITION WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED AS I LET GO OF THE KEY AFTER TURNING IT TO THE START POSITION. THE KEY CAN BE MANUALLY TURNED BACK TO THE OFF OR RUN POSITION. THIS HAS SOMETIMES RESULTED IN A SUCCESSFUL ENGINE START AND AT OTHER TIMES I HAVE CAUGHT IT BEFORE THE ENGINE STARTED. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THIS ON OTHER MODELS OR YEARS, BUT NOT FOR THIS CAR.
