2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

I HAVE A DODGE DURANGO 2006. EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND AND SIDE OF VEHICLE. *TR

WE OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO, HEMI 8 -CYL ENGINE. WE ARE THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN FUELING THE GAS TANK, SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES OF FUEL SHOOT OUT AFTER THE PUMP HAS STOPPED. THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE GETS COVERED IN FUEL. FUEL IS SPILT ON GROUND AND ON SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHERE YOU REFUEL, SO IT IS NOT STATION SPECIFIC. THE CABIN TO THE DURANGO FILLS WITH FUEL VAPORS AND THE SITUATION POSES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE. THERE ARE ALSO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTANT SPILLING OF THE GAS. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE OTHER RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2005 DURANGOS, BUT NOT OUR 2006. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL IT BEGAN TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER HE ADDED FUEL TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING FUELED, IT WOULD SPILL OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, A LARGE QUANTITY OF FUEL SPRAYS THE REFUELER AFTER TANK IS FULL AND PUMP HAS ALREADY SHUT OFF. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH A HIGH BACK PRESSURE BUILDS INSIDE THE TANK AND MAY BE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF FILLING STATION AND HAS CONTRIBUTED TO CLOTHING AND BODILY CONTACT WITH GASOLINE. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO JUST TURNED 50,000 MILES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERY TIME I FILL UP ON GAS THE GASOLINE SHOOTS BACK OUT AT ME. IT SOAKS ME, THE CAR, THE OUTSIDE OF MY CAR AND THE GROUND. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND A WASTE OF MONEY. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THIS CAR IS NOT IN A RECALL. I UNDERSTAND 2005 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME AND VERY SCARY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT I PURCHASED IN MARCH, 2010. THE LAST 4 TIMES I HAVE FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, WHEN I STOP, A HUGE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SHOOTING BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE SOAKING ME, MY CLOTHES, MY VEHICLE AND POURING ONTO THE GROUND. THE LAST TIME I EVEN ATTEMPTED TO BEGIN PUTTING GAS INTO THE VEHILE, IT SHOT OUT ON ME, VEHICLE AND GROUND. IT DID THIS 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PUT GAS IN MY VEHICLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS AT NO COST?

I HAVE A DODGE DURANGO 06, LATELY ALMOST EVERYTIME I'M FILLING UP GAS, THE GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM THE TANK AND SPILLS OUT. I SEE THAT DURANGO 05 HAD BEING RECALL ALREADY FOR THE EXACTLY SAME PROBLEM TO PREVENT POSSIBLE FIRE. I CHECK INTERNET AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM DURANGO OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE OF SPILL GASOLINE WHEN REFUELING. A CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAID THAT WITHOUT RECALL THE CANNOT DO ANYTHING. *TR

THE VEHICLE STARTED OUT BY SHIFTING ON ITS OWN WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE STOPPED. THEN IT BEGAN SHIFTING ON ITS OWN EVEN WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF. IT WOULD SHIFT INTO 4 LO OR 4 HIGH TOTALLY ON ITS OWN WHEN STOPPED. THEN FROM THERE IT STARTED SHIFTING INTO 4 LO OR HIGH WHILE DRIVING AND IT WOULD SOUND LIKE SOMEBODY HAD HIT THE VEHICLE FROM BEHIND AND IT WOULD SHOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN HIT BUT ALL BECAUSE IT WAS SHIFTING ON ITS OWN. I TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT IT WOULD NOT REPEAT ITSELF WHILE HE HAD IT AND HE HAD NOT HEARD OF SUCH A THING BEFORE, SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT REVERSE WITHOUT GIVING IT A LOT OF GAS AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT TURN WHEN I NEEDED IT TO, PERHAPS BECAUSE IT WAS IN 4LO OR HI. AND OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD JUMP FORWARD WITH NO WARNING OR CONTROL MAKING SCREECHING SOUNDS FROM THE TIRES. THEN ONE DAY I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND IT SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 4 LO AND THRUSTED THE CAR FORWARD SEVERAL FEET AND LUCKILY I WAS FAR ENOUGH BACK FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME THAT I DIDN'T HIT IT. HOWEVER AT THAT POINT IT WOULD BARELY DRIVE SO I SLOWLY GOT IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 4 LO THE ENTIRE DAY, SO I HAD TO EVENTUALLY HAVE IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. BY THE TIME IT GOT THERE IT DROVE FINE AGAIN AND HE COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. BUT WHILE PARKED IN HIS LOT, IT BEGAN TO CHANGE GEARS, ON ITS OWN, AND WHILE TURNED OFF. HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS OF 2006 DODGE DURANGOS HAD REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND HE CALLED TO LET US KNOW THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT HE COULD NOT REPAIR IT AND TO FILE A REPORT ON IT AND THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HE SAID IT WAS SHIFTING ITSELF INTO OTHER GEARS WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS OFF OR ON AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LEFT IT IN PARK AS IT COULD PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AND STILL ROLL EVEN WHILE OFF. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO HELP AT THIS TIME. THIS IS MY ONLY WAY TO WORK AT THIS TIME. *TR

MY 2006 DURANGO HAS THE COMMON FUEL OVER-FLOWING PROBLEM. UPON COMPLETION OF FILL UP IT OVERFLOWS A GOOD AMOUNT OF FUEL, OFTEN SOAKING GAS ATTENDANT, MYSELF AND TRUCK. GAS STATION ATTENDANT CLAIMS THAT THESE TRUCKS ALL OVERFLOW LIKE THAT AND THEY ARE A BIG PROBLEM. ITS GOING TO BE AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM ONCE ONE OF THESE IGNITES INTO FLAMES! *TR
