2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, GAS SPITS OUT . HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES AND I READ THAT THIS IS A RECALL. MY DEALERSHIP SHRUGS IT OFF AND TOLD ME ITS NOT A RECALL AND JUST DONT FILL UP MY TANK. *TR

UPON TURNING INTO PARKING LOT OF LOCAL STORE, CAR SHUT DOWN AND SYSTEM LOCKED UP. NO POWER STEERING AND NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO STEER CAR TO PARKING SPACE, STOP AND RESTART VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IN 2 WEEKS. SAME SCENARIO, GOING SLOW IN PARKING LOT AND VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. ANOTHER PROBLEM HAS COME UP NOW WHEN AFTER I START THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING, IT SURGES FROM 1000 RPM TO 2000 BACK AND FORTH FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS. MY QUESTIONS FOR THE DURANGO MAKERS IS WHEN WILL THEIR BE A TOTAL RECALL ON THESE SUV'S? *TR

WHEN I FILL MY TRUCK WITH GAS IT SPEWS OUT. I HAVE GOTTEN TO WHERE I NEVER COMPLETELY FILL MY TRUCK. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL? I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE ONLY WAY WE DODGE OWNERS GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED IS IF SOMEONE IS HURT WHILE TRYING TO FILL THEIR TRUCK. ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS ONE SPARK WHEN THE GAS SPILLS OUT. PLEASE, FORCE DODGE TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE WE HEAR ON THE NEWS THAT SOMEONE IS INJURED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL BEGAN LEAKING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT REPAIRS WERE NEEDED TO THE FUEL TANK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPEWED BACK FROM THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

EVERY TIME WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK TO FULL, BY HAND OR AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF, THE GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT AND OVERFLOWS ONTO THE CAR, FUEL NOZZLE, AND GROUND WHEN FULL. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED OF FILLING THE TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE ANY OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL READINGS AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V092000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I HAVE FILLED UP MY VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED. EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP THE GAS TANK BUBBLES AND IS SHOOTS A DECENT AMOUNT OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE GROUND AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. THIS CAUSES MY CAR TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE AND LEAVES A PUDDLE OF APPROX 1 CUP OF GAS ON THE GROUND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A PARTICULAR GAS STATIONS NOZZLE, BUT AFTER GOING TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT STATIONS, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT I WILL BE SOON. I KNOW THERE CURRENTLY IS NO RECALL FOR THIS, BUT THERE SHOULD BE, THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE GAS FLYING OUT OF THE GAS TANK. *TR

DURING FUELING OPERATIONS THE VEHICLES FUEL TANK WAS ALMOST FULL WHICH TRIGGERED THE FUEL PUMP TO SHUT OFF, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY FUEL BEGAN RUSHING OUT OF THE FUELING NOZZLE OF THE VEHICLE GETTING ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, MY HAND, FOOT AND THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 60 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE IN 2006, AND NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK TO FULL. THERE WAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 DURANGO THAT JUSTIFIED A RECALL, AND THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS WITH THE 2006, ALTHOUGH THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. I HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T TAKE A MAJOR INCIDENT, FIRE OR DEATH BEFORE CHRYSLER TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY AND DOES THE RIGHT TYHING BY REPAIRING THE BAD VALVE IN THESE TANKS. *TR

BOUGHT 2006 DODGE DURANGO USED AND PULLED OUT OF DEALERSHIP TO GET GAS AND FILLED UP AND GAS SHOT EVERYWHERE. VERY DANGEROUS AND FIRE HAZARD. PROBLEM FILLING EVER TIME I GET GAS. A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
