THE DURANGO CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (OR HAD IT TOWED) 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 7 MONTHS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT FIXED. WE LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER OR BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OFF.

WHEN FUELING YOU HAVE TO SHUT OFF GAS BEFORE FULL BECAUSE GAS WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND SPRAY OUT. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN PUTTING IN FUEL. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FUELING I HAVE TO MAKE SURE AND SHUT OFF BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL.

THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND GOING BACK OFF. IT IS AN AWD MODEL DURANGO. I'VE READ FORUMS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE TRANSFER CASE WILL SOMETIMES SHIFT INTO FULL TIME 4WD ON ITS OWN, YOU CAN HERE THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING WITH THE VEHICLE OFF, WHEN YOU ACTIVATE THE POWER LOCKS. BUT LAST NIGHT ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH IT DECIDED TO SHIFT INTO 4WD LOW ON ITS OWN, MY ENGINE WENT UP TO 6000 RPM ON THE TACH AND I LOST SPEED, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I THINK THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, DUE TO SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO 4X4 LOW ON ITS OWN. SHIFTED BACK OUT OF 4X4 A FEW MINUTES LATER. STARTED DRIVING IT AGAIN AND IT SHIFTED INTO 4X4 AND AS I MADE A TURN, IT SHIFTED INTO 4X4 LOW. STAYED IN 4X4 LOW FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND JUMPED BACK OUT OF 4X4 LOW. NOT SURE IF IT JUMPED INTO 4X4 OR REGULAR ALL WHEEL DRIVE. WENT TO TURN INTO MY DRIOVEWAY AND IT AGAIN SHIFTED INTO 4X4 LOW. UNEXPECTADLY SHIFTING INTO 4X4 OR 4X4 LOW WHEN DRIVING.

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.
