2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

EACH TIME I REFUEL MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED, GASOLINE SPEWS BACK FROM THE FILL NOZZLE ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED, GASOLINE WAS SPLASHED ON AN INDIVIDUAL FUELING HIS VEHICLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PUMP, RUINING HIS JEANS. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH ISSUES. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ONLY ON A SLOW INTERMITTENT SPEED. ONLY THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WORKS, AND WILL ACTIVATE WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER IS PUSHED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN (THE RIGHT SIGNAL ONLY WILL BLINK). THIS SWITCH WAS ALSO REPLACED IN 2008 BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT. THERE IS NOW 75,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I FILL UP, THE GAS PRESSURE BUILDS UP IN THE TANK AND SPURTS OUT ALL OVER. I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR IT START GURGLING IN THE TANK. I HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH GASOLINE ON A SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE FIRST FEW TIMES, I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD DONE, OR THE GAS PUMP WHERE I WAS FILLING. BUT I RECENTLY WENT ON 2 TRIPS FROM FL TO NY AND BACK AND IT HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY FILL UP ON BOTH TRIPS WITHIN A MONTH, AS WELL AS FILL UPS IN BETWEEN AND AS I STATED, SOME PRIOR TO. THIS CREATED SEVERAL HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS. GASOLINE ON MY PERSON AND CLOTHING, INHALATION OF THE FUMES CAUSING ILLNESS, GASOLINE ON MY VEHICLE, GASOLINE ON THE PAVEMENT AT THE GAS PUMPS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POSTS ONLINE ABOUT MY EXACT PROBLEM SINCE IT HAPPENED. ONE PERSON IS PERSONALLY DOCUMENTING CASES. HE HAS OVER 120 + CASES HE IS AWARE OF, NOT INCLUDING MINE, THIS YEAR ALONE. THIS IS THE FIRST STEP I HAVE TAKEN AT THIS POINT, AS I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE IF IT IS HAPPENING WITH SUCH FREQUENCY. THESE ARE THE DOCUMENTED CASES JUST THROUGH ONE PERSON ONLINE, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER CASES NOT DOCUMENTED. NOT TO MENTION PEOPLE WHO DON'T FILL THEIR TANKS ALL THE WAY WHO MAY HAVE THE ISSUE AND DO NOT EVEN KNOW IT. DOES SOMEBODY HAVE TO BE BURNED OR OTHERWISE INJURED, OVERCOME BY THE FUMES FIRST? HOW MANY INSTANCES MUST OCCUR BEFORE IT BECOMES A TRUE SAFETY CONCERN? DOES MY CHILD NEED TO FILL THE TANK AND MAYBE SWALLOW THE GASOLINE THAT SPURTS OUT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYTHING IS IN THE WORKS. THE ONE INDIVIDUAL SAYS HE WAS INITIALLY LOOKING AT A $350 REPAIR BILL THAT WAS THEN LOWERED TO $100 AND THEN OFFERED FREE DUE TO HIS COMPLAINTS. I AGREE WITH HIM, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WANT TO PAY HIM OFF TO SHUT HIM UP. MEANWHILE THEY MAKE MONEY OFF WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES WITH MANY PROBLEMS. THIS ONE IS UNIQUE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*KB

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED NOT TO REFUEL TO CAPACITY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK AND CONNECTOR HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL THAT THE GASOLINE DOESN'T SPRAY ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK.
