2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANK ONE YEAR AGO. EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK, AFTER THE NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, GAS SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE CAR ONTO ME AND THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. MAY 2011 A SERVICE SHOP FOUND THAT A SOLENOID HAD FAILED AND REPLACED IT. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE SURGE CANISTER WAS HOLDING GASOLINE, AS IT LIKELY IS FILLED WHEN THE TANK SPEWS GAS BACK OUT. REPLACING THE SOLENOID DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING WITH OTHER DODGE DURANGOS, BUT THAT MY YEAR VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED. ONLY 2005 DURANGOS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER ON MAY 24, AND THE CASE MANAGER CONTACTED ME ON MAY 31 TO REPORT THAT CHRYSLER WAS CHOOSING NOT TO ASSIST IN REPLACING THE FUEL TANK, AND AT THIS TIME HAS NOT RECALLED FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHEN FUELING MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO; THE PUMP WILL CLICK OFF AUTOMATICALLY THEN GAS WILL OVERFLOW FROM THE TANK. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE DAY 1 OF OWNERSHIP. DODGE RECALLED THE 2005 MODEL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED DODGE; AND TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. $1043 PLUS TAX FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. WHY DID THEY RECALL THE 2005 BUT NOT THE 2006 FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD !!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP 2006 OWNERS GET THIS RESOLVED. *TR

WHEN FUELING, IF ALLOWED TO FILL UP, AT THE POINT OF FULL/PUMP CUT OFF, GASOLINE WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILL TUBE AROUND THE NOZZLE AND CREATE A LARGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, BUT HAS SINCE BECOME AN EVERY TIME OCCURRENCE. NOT ONLY AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD, THIS POSES SERIOUS RISKS TO THE PASSENGERS (ESP. CHILDREN)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL WOULD BEGIN TO SPILL OUT FROM THE FUEL FILLER NECK. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED TO CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE YET THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,950. UPDATED 06/20/11

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL PUMP INDICATOR INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

GAS OVER FLOWING AT THE FUEL PUMP WHEN FILLING UP. THE PUMP WOULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY STOP TILL AFTER IT WAS OVER FLOWING. GAS SPILLED ON THE PAINT AND HANDS, CLOTHS IF YOUR STANDING THERE AND ON THE GROUND CAUSE A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. TOOK TO DEALER SAID IT WAS THE GAS TANK. THEY REPLACED IT AND NO MORE PROBLEMS. I DON'T HAVE THE OLD GAS TANK.$750.00 FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH GASOLINE, JUST AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS WILL SPEW OUT FROM THE FILLER ENTRANCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE, LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK, DOES NOT WORK. THIS ALLOWS FOR FUEL TO SPLASH OUT OF THE TANK EACH TIME YOU FILL THE TANK. FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I'VE DONE, THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, WHICH RESULTED IN THE RECALL OF SEVERAL THOUSAND 2005 MODEL YEAR DODGE DURANGOS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS IN MODEL YEARS 2006 AND 2007 FOR DODGE DURANGOS, CHRSYLER ASPENS, JEEP WRANGLERS AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AS THE FUEL SPLASH UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE TANK WHEN IT WAS FULL. THE EMISSION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE EGR VALVE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,803 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,200.

THE FUEL LINE CHECK VALVE STICKS ALLOWING GASOLINE TO SPIT BACK OUT WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO, BUT THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE 2005 MODEL RECALL ON THE SAME ISSUE, AND WHICH APPEARS WELL DOCUMENTED ELSEWHERE, INCLUDING THIS WEBSITE WHICH SHOWS THE SAME ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.SAFETYRESEARCH.NET/2011/03/23/FUEL-SPIT-BACK-CONTINUES-TO-PLAGUE-CHRYSLER-VEHICLES/ MY LOCAL DEALER QUOTED ME $1,200 TO REPLACE THE VALVE, AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE SAID THAT THEY "MIGHT' PAY A GOODWILL PAYMENT TO REIMBURSE ME IF I GOT IT FIXED. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ESPECIALLY IF IT IS RECALLED LIKE IT SHOULD BE IF THE 2005 MODEL WAS FOR THE SAME REASON. *TR
