2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 Complaints

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED THAT I PURCHASED NEW 07/28/07FROM KARI DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, 1177 US HWY 2 E, KALISPELL, MT 59901. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY; THIS WILL EXPIRE 07/28/10. SINCE ABOUT MARCH 1ST, 2010 IT HAS BEEN STALLING AND LUNGING AT LOW SPEEDS; WHICH MY HUSBAND AND I THOUGHT WAS CONDENSATION IN THE GAS LINE, BUT IT FINALLY DIED ON THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC 03/16/10. SO I CALL KARI DODGE 03/17/10 AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT IT INTO KARI DODGE 03/18/10 AND THEY CLAIM THE FIXED THE PROBLEM, SO I PICKED IT UP AND DROVE IT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ON 03/22/10 I CALLED KARI AGAIN AND REPORTED TO THEM THE DURANGO IS STILL STALLING/HESITATING/LUNGING. I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN 03/23/10 AND BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK AND KARI 17 MILES LATER I WAS JUST SHAKING AND SICK TO MY STOMACH. SO FAR THE DURANGO HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF KARI DODGE THREE TIMES AND WILL GO IN AGAIN 04/12/10. EACH TIME THEY CALL ME THEY SAY IT'S READY. I PICK IT UP AND CONTINUES TO STALL AND LUNGE. THEY CLAIM SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE DRIVEN IT AND EVEN THEIR SERVICE MANGER, MIKE, COULD NOT GET THE DURANGO TO DO WHAT WE SAY IT'S DOING. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE ONCE AGAIN DRIVEN THE DURANGO ALL WEEKEND AFTER KARI DODGE HAS SAID IT IS READY AND IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. WE HAD A FRIEND DRIVE IT TODAY AND IT DID THE VERY SAME THING WE ARE SAYING IT DOES. THE DURANGO HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. WE (MY HUSBAND AND I )COULD BE IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR BE REAR ENDED. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER STARTED WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER #[XXX] AND I HAVE ALSO LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FTC -REF#[XXX]. I HAVE KEPT A PRETTY GOOD JOURNAL THIS PAST MONTH IN REGARDS TO KARI DODGE AND MY DURANGO. THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. KARI DODGE ALWAYS ASKS ME IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON----IT DOES NOT. KARI DODGE ALSO ALWAYS ASKS ME IF I WARM IT UP EVERY MORNING- I ALWAYS DO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

GAS SPRAYS OUT OF FILLER TUBE 3 TO 5 FEET AFTER THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF. STARTED AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. I HAVE A 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4.7 LT, 4WD. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 43,000 MILES. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECAL AND I HAVE TO PAY. THERE WAS A RECAL FOR THE 2005 DURANGO. *CN

MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 STARTED THROWING BACK GASOLINE FROM THE FILLER TUBE. THIS STARTED OCCURRING ABOUT 4-6 WEEKS AGO AND NOW HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL THE TANK. DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHERE, WHEN, OR IF I HOLD THE NOZZLE OR NOT. SOMETIMES THE GAS COMES BACK WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO GET ALL OVER MY CLOTHES AND SHOES. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I READ ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH '05 DURANGOS AND CALLED CHRYSLER. THEY ACTED LIKE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT AL WEST CHRYSLER FOR MAR. 25, 2010. WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE WRITER, HE ALSO ACTED LIKE I WAS THE FIRST PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2007 DODGE DURANGO AND IT HAS BEGUN SPITTING OUT THE FUEL IF I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE TANK. BESIDES BEING FRUSTRATING THIS IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. MY DURANGO IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I CURRENTLY CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY TO HAVE THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED. HOWEVER, I HAVE JOINED A DODGE FORUM AND THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING ON SEVERAL DURANGOS TO INCLUDE THE 2005, 2006, AND 2007 MODELS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL MODELS. APPARENTLY IN THE PAST THIS SAME ISSUE WAS REPORTED IN THE 2005 MODEL AND A RECALL WAS GENERATED. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF 2007 DODGE DURANGO WHEN REFILLING. THE FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF BUT ABOUT OF FUEL BLOWS BACK OUT OF GAS TANK, ONTO SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ONTO GROUND. *TR

GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILLER NOZZLE ST THE END OF FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. VEHICLE IS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. *TR

2007 DODGE DURANGO OVERFLOWS FUEL WHEN FILLING GAS TANK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN DOING IT EACH TIME IT IS FILLED UP WITH FUEL, REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO. THE SPILLED FUEL ON THE GROUND PRESENTS FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS. *TR

GAS COMES OUT OF TOP OF GAS FILL AFTER THE AUTOMATIC PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS WAS A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THE 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WHICH HAD A LIMITED RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL INLET ALL OVER ME AND THE GROUND. *TR

IT APPEARS IN WARM WEATHER, THE SIGNALING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. THEY WILL NOT FUNCTION FOR LEFT OR RIGHT SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS DO NOT OPERATE. WHEN YOU PLACED THE SIGNAL ON IT CLICKS VERY QUICKLY AND SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING IS FRYING, THEN IT SHUTS OFF. WHEN YOU TRY THE SIGNAL AGAIN, IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. *TR
