2007 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHENEVER I FILL THE TANK WITH GAS, WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, AND THEN GAS SPEWS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. THERE IS A "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" DESCRIBING THIS PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE, BUT WHEN I WENT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD FIX THE GAS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THAT THE "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" WAS JUST "COURTESY INFORMATION" AND IF I WANTED TO "FIX" IT, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I'VE SEEN ONLINE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THEIR VEHICLE FIXED AT THEIR DEALERSHIP FOR FREE. I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS LIED TO, OR IF THE DRIVERS I READ ABOUT ONLINE JUST HAVE BETTER DEALERSHIPS THAN I DO HERE. I LOVE THE DURANGO - IT'S A GREAT VEHICLE, BUT THE GAS FILL PROBLEM IS A MESS. I WISH I COULD GET CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY REMAINS ON AFTER ALL CODES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS VEHICLE IS ROUTINELY GIVEN MAINTENANCE CHECKS. OTHER THE CODES GIVEN (P40), WHAT COULD THE ISSUE BY? I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE RECENT RECALL HOPING THAT WOULD HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT THE CLERK WAS VERY RUDE STATING THEY WERE BUSY. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT FOR SAFETY CONCERNS, I FEEL I MAY NEED TO GET RID OF IT IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THIS HAS BEEN A PERMANENT ISSUE FOR AT LEAST THE LAST THREE YEARS...EACH YEAR ITS A STRUGGLE TO EVEN PAST EMISSIONS DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE.

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE A KNOWN GAS TANK ISSUE. I CAN NOT FILL UP WITHOUT ABOUT A CUP OR SO OF GASOLINE SPITTING OUT OVER CAR AND GROUND. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DID SPEAK WITH LOCAL DODGE DEALER ABOUT IT, BUT THEY DENIED ANY FACTORY DEFECT. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, ON SEVERAL YEARS OF THE DURANGO.

UPON FUELING THE VEHICLE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS WOULD SPEW OUT GETTING HANDS/CLOTHES/GROUND WET WITH GASOLINE. THIS HAPPENS AT ERRATIC TIMES, NEVER A RHYME OR REASON. LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM WHEN IT FIRST OCCURRED AND SAW NO RECALL INFORMATION. NOW VEHICLE IS READING A P0430 CODE, O2 SENSORS.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I TURNED TO PARK AND IT SHUT OFF. IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR FOR FEAR IT WILL SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY.

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO KENDALL DODGE FOR THE SAFETY RECALL ON PART # R25/NHTSA 15V-313 (WHICH IS PART OF MY AIRBAG) TO BE REPLACED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE THERE IS "CLOCK SPRING CONNECTOR TAB PART # 107300 THAT IS DAMAGED AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CLAIMING THAT IF MY CAR IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS CAR WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND SOMEONE TAMPERED WITH THE AIRBAG (GLUED ALL THE BACK TOGETHER) IN ORDER TO HIDE DAMAGE. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? IS THIS NOT SOMETHING THAT REQUIRED INSPECTION PRIOR TO SALE?

I WAS TRAVELING ON I99 SOUTHBOUND AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE DOWNSHIFT FROM 4TH GEAR TO 3RD. I PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TURNED MY VEHICLE BACK ON. I POSITIONED THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER TO DRIVE (D) AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. I NOTICED A LACK OF ACCELERATION AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAINED, THE FILTERS REPLACED AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REFILLED WITH NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID. I CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL EACH WEEK TO SEE IF I HAVE A LEAK BUT NO LEAKS WERE DETECTED. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM AND THE DEALER QUOTE ME A FIGURE OVER $2000. I AM A DISABLED VIETNAM VETERAN AND LIVE ON MY DISABILITY RIGHT NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED HEAD ON INTO A TREE. THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER MULTIPLE TIMES. DURING THE CRASH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, BUT THE NEITHER THE DRIVER NOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A FRACTURED LUMBAR SPINE, A FRACTURED STERNUM, AND A FRACTURED RIB. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED A FRACTURED CLAVICLE AND RIB. BOTH OCCUPANTS RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.
