2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING REFUELED THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUT OFF DOES NOT WORK AND FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE VEHICLE AND ON SURROUNDING GROUNDS. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF, THE TANK OVERFILLS ABOUT EVERY OTHER FILL. *TR

WHILE RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF CLICKS OFF ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO LATER FUEL COMES SPEWING OUT UNDER PRESSURE, SPILLING FUEL ALL OVER THE QUARTER PANEL AND BUMPER, AND ONTO THE GROUND, SPILLING APPROXIMATELY A GALLON OR SO. IT APPEARS THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES ON THIS FROM SEARCHING ONLINE, I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. *TR

GAS NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. GAS SPILLS OUT EVERYTIME I REFUEL. I HAVE TO GUESS WHEN I SHOULD STOP THE FUELING BUT SOMETIMES I MISCALCULATED AND IT ALL OVER MY SHOES AND THE GROUND. FIRE HAZARD IN THE WAIT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING REFUELING, FUEL WOULD LEAK FROM THE TANK ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE VEHICLE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,125. UPDATED 11/16/11 *BF UPDATED 11/18/11

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK AFTER NOZZLE CLICKS OFF WITHIN SECOND A GUSH OF FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF TANK. WE ARE ONLY OWNER OF VEHICLE AND THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR YEARS. WE HAD FUEL TANK REPLACED ONCE AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND IS GETTING REALLY BAD AGAIN. TODAY SO MUCH FUEL SHOT OUT THAT IF SOMEONE WAS STANDING THERE IT WOULD OF SOAKED THEM. IT WAS SO OBVIOUS AND SO MUCH THAT THE OTHER PEOPLE AT THE STATION SAW IT AND WERE IN DISBELIEF. THIS IS GETTING TO BE REAL DANGEROUS. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP MY VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE TOPPED OFF AND SHUT OFF THE FUEL NOZZLE, THEN FUEL CAME RUSHING OUT OF THE VEHICLE'S FILLER TUBE ONTO THE VEHICLE, MY HAND AND LEG, AND THE GROUND. THIS IS AN ONGOING MISHAP WITH THIS VEHICLE AND OTHER 2006 DURANGO'S AS INDICATED BY REVIEWING HISTORICAL EVENTS ON THIS WEBSITE. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A MAJOR MISHAP OR FIRE TO GET THE APPROPRIATE ATTENTION THIS DESERVES,. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE, HOWEVER THE 2005 DURANGO WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

THE VEHICLE SPEWS GAS ONCE FUELING BEGINS. IT OVERFLOWS THE GAS TANKS AND A LOT OF FUEL SPILLS ON THE GROUND. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH EVERY REFUEL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH BEGAN IN OCTOBER 2010. *TT

WHILE REFUELING MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED AT THE AAFES GAS STATION ON RANDOLPH AFB, FUEL CAME SPEWING OUT OF THE REFUEL NOZZLE ONCE THE PUMP CUT OFF AND THE TANK WAS FULL THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 60 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE, AND AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS ACROSS AMERICA. THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT WAS VERY ANGRY WITH ME SAYING THAT I OVERFILLED THE TANK UNTIL I EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT IS GOING ON WITHTHE VEHICLE. HE GOT A MOP HAZMAT KIT AND CLEANED UP THE MESS BEFORE I LEFT. THIS IS A SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD. THE 2005 DURANGO WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THE 2006 IS BEING IGNORED. YOU CAN SEE A VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING ON YOUTUBE BY LOOKING FOR 2006 DURANGO FUELING PROBLEMS. THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE FOR NOTHING TO BE ACCOMPLISHED FOR US OWNERS OF THE 2006 DURANGO. WHAT WILL IT TAKE, A FIRE AND SOMEONE INJURED OR KILLED TO GET THE MESSAGE? CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE, AND MY LOCAL DEALER IS IN DENIAL AND KNOWS NOTHING OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE REFUELING MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS BETWEEN PENSACOLA FLORIDA AND SAN ANTONIO TEXAS, FUEL COMES SPEWING OUT OF THE REFUEL NOZZLE ONCE THE PUMP CUTS OFF AND THE TANK IS FULL THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 60 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE, AND AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS ACROSS AMERICA. MY WIFE HAS REUINED A PAIR OF SHOES AND A DRESS BECAUSE FUEL CAME SPEWING OUT AND GOT ALL OVER HER, THE TRUCK AND THE GROUND. THIS IS A SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD. THE 2005 DURANGO WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THE 2006 IS BEING IGNORED. YOU CAN SEE A VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING ON YOUTUBE BY LOOKING FOR 2006 DURANGO FUELING PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER HAS CONTACTED ME CONCERNING TH EPROBLEM, BUT WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE DIAGONOSIS, AND IF PARTS ARE FOUND DEFECTIVE, THEY WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I AM A RETIRED MILITARY WAR VETERAN AND DISABLED VETERAN, I CANNOT AFFORD $400+ TO DIAGNOS A PROBLEM THEY MAY NOT COVER REPAIRS ON I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND ALSO BELONG TO TWO DODGE DURANGO WEB GROUPS AND MULTIPLE OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE A MISHAP OCCURS. IN THE MEANTIME, I ONLY PUT 19 GALLONS IN MY DURANGO AND STOP FUELING. EVEN WHEN I DO THIS, FUEL COMES BACK UP TH ETUBE, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY OUT. *TR
