2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING . THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. HIS MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL # 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I'VE OWNED MY DURANGO FOR 3 YEARS, BUT THE PAST 6 MONTHS WHEN I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS AND GOES ALL OVER THE GROUND AND MY CAR. IT IS NOT A SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS POURING OUT OF THE GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL UP GAS, WHICH IS ONCE A WEEK. MOST TIMES I HAVE TO RUSH HOME OR TO MY DESTINATION TO CLEAN THE GAS OFF OF MY CAR. *TR

USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ON A 2006 DODGE DURANGO WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER STOPPED FUNCTIONING, WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER SAYS THE WHOLE LINKAGE IS BROKEN AND WOULD COST $400 TO FIX. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS MODEL AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

EVERYTIME I HAVE FILLED UP MY GAS TANK FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS IT OVERFLOWS. THIS CAUSES A FAIR AMOUNT OF GASOLINE TO FLOW OUT OF THE FILL AREA AND ONTO THE GROUND. THERE IS SO MUCH THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO NOTIFY THE GAS ATTENDANTS ON DUTY SO PROPER MEASURE CAN BE TAKEN FOR THE SPILL DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD INVOLVED. ON DECEMBER 14TH I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE VEHICLE ASSESSED, AND THEY ADVISED IT IS THE FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE THAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT WILL COST $721 TO REPLACE BECAUSE THE CHECK VALVE IS PART OF THE WHOLE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING, UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TANK, I WILL TRY TO NOT FILL UP MY TANK COMPLETELY. *TR

I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH 54K MILES. ON MANY OCCASION, WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, GAS SHOOTS OUT IN FORCE WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL. NOT SURE WHY THE GAS PUMP DIDN'T SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIME BUT ALWAYS WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS ALLOWED FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE FILLER NECK. CONSEQUENTLY HE ALONG WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA WAS SUBMERGED WITH FUEL. FUEL IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN CAUSE A FIRE. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 15,000. UPDATED 01/12/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE WENT TO CLOSE THE FUEL TANK, GAS BLEW OUT ALL OVER HIM AND THE GAS PUMP. UPDATED 01/13/10*JB

ON TWO (2) OCCASIONS RECENTLY WHILE REFUELING MY 2006 DURANGO LIMITED THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWED. THIS OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT FUELING LOCATIONS THEREFORE IT MUST BE VEHICLE SPECIFIC. *TR

FUEL FORCEFULLY SPRAYING OUT OF FILLER TUBE WHEN VEHICLE IS BEING FUELED AND THE TANK IS NEARLY FULL. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT SPEWS GASOLINE ALL OVER THE CAR, THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK (IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL) AND THE GROUND WHENEVER YOU ARE FILLING IT UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 MODEL YEAR BUT HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO FIND COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE 2006 WITH NO SOLUTIONS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND VERY HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. WE ARE DISCOURAGED FROM TOPPING OFF OUR TANKS SO I AM SURE THIS IS A CONCERN. THE PAINT ON MY CAR IS STARTING TO DISCOLOR FROM THIS HAPPENING NUMEROUS TIME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT, IF ANY RECOURSE I HAVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD SPILL OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE CONTACT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE REPLACEMENT WOULD REMEDY THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO RECALL RELATED TO HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK SINCE THE FUEL LEAK COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE TO OCCUR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. UPDATED 01/06/10 *BF UPDATED 01/07/10.*JB
