2006 Dodge Durango complaints

ON FEBRUARY 16, 2009 I WAS FILLING THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO. I HAD THE DISPENSER HANDLE DEPRESSED, BY HAND, TO FILL THE TANK; THE FUEL NOZZLE DID NOT HAVE A CATCH TO KEEP THE HANDLE DEPRESSED. THE AUTOMATIC FUEL CUTOFF ON THE DISPENSER FUNCTIONED AND STOPPED THE FLOW OF FUEL ONCE THE TANK WAS FULL. WITHIN A SECOND OR TWO FUEL CAME GUSHING OUT OF THE TANK, SPILLING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. LUCKILY I WAS STANDING OFF TO THE SIDE AND NOT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN SOAKED IN GASOLINE. I WOULD ESTIMATE 1/4 TO 1/2 OF A GALLON OF GAS CAME OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE DISPENSER, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AT MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SINCE. IN AN EFFORT TO PREVENT THIS, I SLOW DOWN THE RATE OF FUEL FLOW TO WHERE BARELY ANY FUEL IS BEING DISPENSED, WHEN I BELIEVE THE TANK IS NEAR FULL. SOMETIMES I AM ABLE TO STOP THE FLOW IN TIME AND THERE IS NO SPILLAGE. OTHER TIMES THE FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE TANK SPILLING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND AS IT HAS DONE BEFORE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I SEE THERE ARE MANY OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO'S AND OTHER YEAR MODELS OF THE DURANGO. I FOUND A RECALL FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE, BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL OF THE 2006 DURANGO TO DATE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER REPORTED INCIDENTS OF THIS OCCURRING: WHILE THIS HAS NOT CAUSE A

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED DURING REFUELING, THE AUTOMATIC FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF, AND THE FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK ONTO HIS CLOTHING AND GROUND. THE SPILLAGE CONSISTED OF APPROXIMATELY ONE GALLON OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL RELATED TO THE SIMILAR DEFECT UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP); AND 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I HAVE 06 DODGE DURANGO,WIPER COME ONE AND OFF ,HEAD LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF, THERE WAS A RECALL IN A PART IN DASH SO I TOOK IT TO DEALER TO REPAIR AND TO ALSO FIX LIGHT AND WIPERS AND THEY SAID MAYBE RECALL PART FIXED EVERYTHING,WELL IT DIDN'T SO I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY CANT FIND PROBLEM,NOW LIGHTS STILL BLINK WIPERS STILL COME ON AND OFF AND HEATER AND AIR DOESN'T BLOW NOW THEY SAID IM NOT UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE PART THAT IT NEEDS ,SO THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 430.00 FOR A 10.00 PART SO I BOUGHT IT MYSELF AND PUT IT ON AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK .I HAVE EX. WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD IF THE LIGHTS GOT WORSE TO BRING IT BACK IN WELL I DID AND THEY SAID THEY CANT HELP ME,WELL I FILL LIKE IM JUST GETTING A RUN AROUND AND MY DURANGO IS A RECALL ITSELF. *TR

DRIVE TO ANY GAS STATION, WITH GAS GAUGE ON ANYWHERE FROM EMPTY TO A QUARTER FULL. INSERT GAS PUMP NOZZLE INTO VEHICLE WITH NORMAL CARE. START TO PUMP GAS. ACTIVATE THE "NO HANDS" LEVER. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY STOPS. A FEW SECONDS LATER, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS BURPS BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ENOUGH FUEL IS SPILLED TO WASH ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND SPLASH ONTO THE OPERATOR. AN IGNITION SOURCE WOULD CAUSE QUITE A FIRE. THIS SPILL HAS HAPPENED REGULARLY FOR A FEW YEARS AND THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IT IS TO INTENTIONALLY STOP THE PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL. THIS IS NOT AN OPERATOR ISSUE - IT HAPPENS TO WHOMEVER PUMPS THE GAS, AT ANY GAS STATION. IT HAS HAPPENED FOR A FEW YEARS. AS I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR THE REPAIR, I SEE A LARGE NUMBER OF IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS, AND EVEN VIDEOS WITH THE EXACT ISSUE. SO I FINALLY DECIDED TO ADD MY VOICE TO THE MIX.

I OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT I PURCHASED NEW. AFTER REACHING 60,000 MILES, THE FUEL SYSTEM BEGAN OVERFILLING AND SPILLING OUT ON THE GROUND. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY OCCASIONALLY BUT NOW IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I REFUEL. WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, A STRONG BURST OF GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEM.

FUEL OVER-SPILLS WHEN FILLING TANK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ADDING GASOLINE TO THE VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE FULL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT HE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,600. UPDATED 03/10/11 *BF UPDATED 12/14/11 *CN

MY 2006 DURANGO HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT. IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS, MY WIFE REPORTED TO ME ON THREE OCCASIONS THAT WHEN SHE FILLS UP THE GAS TANK, THE GAS COMES SPEWING OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND, CAR, GAS PUMP AND ANYTHING ELSE WITHIN A FEW FEET OF THE NOZZLE. I WITNESSED IT FOR MYSELF YESTERDAY. UNBELIEVABLY DANGEROUS! I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE 2005 MODEL OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I FOUND MANY PEOPLE DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2006 DURANGOS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT (OR WORSE). WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? I'VE HEARD ESTIMATES OF $600-$900 FOR ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR THIS WIDE-SPREAD SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WHICH UPON FILLING WITH GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOW INSTEAD OF CUTTING OFF WHEN FULL. THE FUEL WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE OPENING ON THE VEHICLE CAUSING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING NOW FOR AWHILE. *TR

AT THE END OF REFUELING THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE A BURST OF GASOLINE THAT SPRAYS OUT OF THE FUEL NECK AND SOAKS THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE GROUND AND THE PERSON REFUELING IF THEY ARE STANDING NEXT TO THE VEHICLE. SAME AS RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE YEAR PRIOR (05V034000). *TR

ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND GAS CAME SHOOTING OUT OF THE TANK ONCE THE SHUTOFF VALVE CLICKED OFF. IT SPRAYED ALL OVER MY CLOTHES, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ONTO THE CONCRETE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY GAS PUMP, BUT IT HAPPENED AT FOUR DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I LEARNED LATER THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL ASSEMBLY AT MY OWN COST. I KNOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE FILLING UP MY GAS TANK KNOWING I MIGHT GET COVERED WITH GAS AND POSSIBLY BE NEAR AN IGNITION SOURCE. *TR

FUEL SPRAYED OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER FILLING THE TANK TO FULL AND NOZZLE CLICKED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I NO LONGER FILL UP ALL THE WAY TO PREVENT ANY MORE OVERFLOWS AND POTENTIAL FIRES. PROBLEM IS SAME AS 2005 RECALL BUT DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR WITHOUT A RECALL FOR 2006 DURANGO. *TR

FILLING THE GAS TANK RESULTS IN FUEL BEING BLOWN BACK OUT OF THE FILL. *TR

THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE HAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. THIS RESULTS IN A SAFETY HAZARD WHEREBY UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS SPRAYS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ON TO THE PERSON FILLING THE GAS. IF THIS OCCURS IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A SIGNIFICANT FIRE/EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR. THE SAME ISSUE RESULTED IN A RECALL ON 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NO. 09V-003 (H45). IN REFERENCE TO THE RECALL AND ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS, CHRYSLER'S RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK ISSUE WAS ESTIMATED BY CHRYSLER TO IMPACT LESS THAN 20% OF VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT IN REALITY, IN EXCESS OF 50% OF VEHICLES INSPECTED REQUIRED REPAIR (PER THE 9/30/10 CHRYSLER RECALL QUARTERLY REPORT). PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CLIP AS THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE MODEL YEAR 2007 AS WELL. (HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FS5U63CN-II)

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH APPROXIMATELY 51,000 MILES. WHEN I FILL THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE GUSHES OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING WITHIN A SECOND OR TWO AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL STARTING A FEW MONTHS AGO. IT IS THE SAME THING THAT THE 2005 DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR WHICH DODGE SHOULD BE HELP ACCOUNTABLE. THE 2005 RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 AND 09V003000 IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT DODGE AND NHTSA IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. PLEASE TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION FOR A RECALL. *TR

FUEL SPRAYED OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER FILLING THE TANK TO FULL AND NOZZLE CLICKED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I NO LONGER FILL UP ALL THE WAY TO PREVENT ANY MORE OVERFLOWS AND POTENTIAL FIRES. PROBLEM IS SAME AS 2005 RECALL BUT DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR WITHOUT A RECALL FOR 2006 DURANGO. *TR

REFERENCES RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V003000 FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL SYSTEM. MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS THE SAME DEFECT AS LISTED IN THE 2005 RECALL. A LOCAL DODGE DEALER HAS INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED THE DEFECTED FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE AND STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY IN MY DURANGO. DODGE WILL NOT COVER THE TOTAL COST OF THIS SAFETY REPAIR SINCE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2006 AND DODGE TOLD ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. I AM URGING THE NHTSA TO RE-ELEVATE THE 300+ COMPLAINTS AND EXTEND THE RECALL TO THE 2006 DURANGO AND OTHERS. MY 2006 DURANGO FUEL SYSTEM DEFECT BEGAN IN JUNE 2010 WITH THE MOST RECENT HAZARDOUS INCIDENT OCCURRING IN DECEMBER 2010. THE SHUT OFF SEEMS TO HAVE DECLINED TO THE POINT THAT THE GAS NOW SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SAFETY MATTER. I BECAME COVERED IN GASOLINE AS THE GAS SPRAYED LIKE A HOSE OUT ONTO MY COAT AND HAIR. MY HAIR LATER TOUCHED MY EYE AND MY EYE WAS STINGING FROM WHERE THE GAS MUST HAVE TOUCHED MY CONTACT LENS. MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME AT THE TIME AND WE BOTH HAD TO SMELL THE POTENT FUMES FROM THE GAS ON MY CLOTHES. I HAD TO THROW MY FLEECE COAT IN THE TRASH. I AM FORTUNATE I DID NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH A SPARK OR IT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT MY CLOTHES ON FIRE. THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF COLD WEATHER AND STATIC ELECTRICITY IS A REALITY WITH GASOLINE. I AM ALARMED THAT DODGE WOULD NOT SUBMIT A RECALL ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AFTER 2005. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I CANNOT FILL MY DURAN

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL FILLING IN 2006 DODGE DURANGO'S. WHEN FILLING, FUEL BACKWASHES OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING AFTER THE PUMP STOPS FUELING. THIS OVERSPILL OCCURS EVERY TIME, AND ALSO TIMES WHEN I TRY TO STOP FUELING BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL. IT IS DANGEROUS, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DON'T FILL THE DURANGO VERY OFTEN (I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH), BUT STARTED TO OCCUR LAST YEAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND WHEN YOU FILL THE FUEL TANK, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE PIPE WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME. IT IS THE SAME THING THAT THE 2005 DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR. I'D LIKE MINE RECALLED. 2005 RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 AND 09V003000. THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. *TR

HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF AND ON OR JUST COMPLETELY OFF. SIMPLY PUSHING ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. I DISASSEMBLED THE OLD SWITCH, AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE SURFACE MOUNT COMPONENT OF THE SWITCH CAME LOOSE ON ONE CORNER AND ALLOWED INTERMITTENT CONTACT WITH THE CIRCUIT. EPOXY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE FIXED IT, BUT FOR $40, I JUST REPLACED THE PART MYSELF. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL LIKELY USING THE SAME PART. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO OVERFLOWS FUEL WHEN FILLING TO FULL STATUS. I CURRENTLY STOP FILLING VEHICLE TO AVOID THE SPILL OF FUEL AND NOT GETTING ALL OVER MY CLOTHING. THIS HAPPENS ON EVERY OCCURRENCE WHEN FILLING VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE HEMI ENGINE, THE PROBLEM AND SAFETY ISSUE IS EVERY TIME I FILL THE CAR WITH FUEL AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF THE FUEL BLOWS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND SPRAYS ON TO YOUR CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENT AND SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EACH TIME I FILL UP, NO MATTER WHERE I PURCHASE FUEL. APPROXIMATELY 8 OUNCES OF FUEL SPILLS OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. *LN

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 DURANGO SLT, DRIVING THROUGH A PUDDLE CAUSES THE POWER STEERING TO QUIT AND THE LIGHTS ALSO DIM LIKE THE TRUCK IS LOSING POWER. THE SERPENTINE BELT ON THE TRUCK IS ALSO SQUEALING WHICH I BELIEVED TO BE THE ISSUE. I CHANGED THE BELT ON THE TRUCK BUT POWER STEERING STILL FAILS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN A TURN AND JUST ABOUT LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. *TR

WE OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND OVER THE SUMMER WHILE DRIVING MY RADIO STARTED AND STOPPED WORKING, MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM STARTING BLINKING, AND THEN FINALLY MY CAR STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. WE FOUND BOTH OF THE RELAYS TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON OUR DURANGO FULL OF WATER BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY DENIED EVER HEARING OF THIS ISSUE AND STARTED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. WE SHOOK OUT THE RELAYS, LEFT THEM UNPLUGGED OVERNIGHT, AND USED A HAIR DRYER TO DRY ANY REMAINING MOISTURE. AS LONG AS I KEEP MY VEHICLE PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND UNPLUG THE RELAY AFTER WE WASH THE CAR WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT WE COULD NOT GET TO GO OUT. OVER THE WEEKEND I HEARD ON HEADLINE NEWS THAT THE 2008 DODGE CARAVANS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR MOISTURE GETTING INTO THE AIRBAGS. I CALLED AND EXPLAINED MY ISSUE WITH OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. INTERESTING TO NOTE IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP INQUIRES ABOUT THE MILEAGE ON YOUR VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THEIR REPRESENTATIVE THAT LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES CAN HAVE A CHANCE AT "GOODWILL" REPAIRS BUT NOT HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLES. I'M NOT SURE IF 75,000 MILES IS CONSIDERED LOW OR HIGH BUT WHAT IS AT ISSUE IS THAT DODGE KNOWS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE BUT THEY ARE NOT CORRECTING IT ON ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES ONLY ON THEIR 2008S. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYED BACK ON HER, THE GROUND AND THE VEHICLE. SHE ALSO STATED THAT OCCASIONALLY A FEW DAYS LATER THE SMELL OF FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. SHE REFERENCED RECALL 05V034000, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP AND STATED THAT SHE DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2006 VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED HER THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDED REPLACING. SHE STATED THAT THE PRE-OWNED VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON OCTOBER 15, 2010 AND SHE NOTICED THE FAILURE, THE FOLLOWING DAY. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,300.

I HAVE A 2006 MODEL YEAR DODGE DURANGO. EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK IT SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. EVERY TIME. I SAW WHERE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL DURANGOS FOR THE SAME REASON. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE REST OF THE DEFECTIVE UNITS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FUEL THE VEHICLE, THE GAS WOULD SPILL BACK OUT AND LEAK OVER HER CLOTHING AND VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 01/28/11 *BF UPDATED 02/07/11*JB

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS TO THE FULL LIMIT, GAS SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE TANK NECK ONTO THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED FROM THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, I GOT COVERED IN GAS BECAUSE THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 05 MODELS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, YET DODGE WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 06 MODELS. DEALERSHIP SERVICE SAID THAT THE NEW TANK WILL COST OVER $600 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS THERE IS NO FLAP TO CLOSE THE HOLE WHERE YOU STICK THE GAS NOZZLE IN, SO IF THAT IS LEFT OPEN, WOULDN'T GAS POUR OUT IN THE CAR WERE TO BE OVERTURNED? *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO SPRAYS FUEL AT COMPLETION OF FUEL FILL. THE FUEL SPILL COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, INJURY UP TO INCLUDING DEATH. THE FUEL FILL SPILL HAS OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND THE ISSUE BEGAN AFTER 80,000 MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FULL THE GAS PUMP CLICKED AND THE FUEL SPRAYED OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR A MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,500. UPDATED 01/14/11*LJ

WHEN FUELING MY VEHICLE AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, FUEL JUST SPEWS FROM THE TANK ALL OVER THE GROUND [ABOUT A CUP OF GAS EACH TIME] WHICH UPSETS ME DUE TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR AND SAFETY ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME OVER THE PAST YEAR, EVEN AT THE LOWEST REFUEL SPEED. I NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2006 DURANGO OWNERS AND THAT 2005 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MY CAR IS A 2006 DURANGO, 47,000 MILES, 5.7L HEMI, 4WD. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT. ON EVERY GASOLINE FILL UP, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT GET TRIGGERED TO SHUT OFF AND GASOLINE VIOLENTLY WITH FORCE SPRAYS A SIGNIFICANT QUANTITY OF GASOLINE DIRECTLY OUT OF THE FUEL NOZZLE, DOWN THE VEHICLE, AND ONTO ANYTHING WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE NOZZLE, THEN DOWN TO THE GROUND, PUMP HOSE. IF STANDING HOLDING THE NOZZLE, I HAVE BEEN SPRAYED WITH GASOLINE. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT EVERY FILL UP, REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION I'VE TRIED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND I SEE VIA MULTIPLE SITES IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST MY DURANGO. *TR

ON MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, EVERY TIME I FILL UP TO WHERE THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS IT SPEWS FUEL ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT IS USUALLY UNDER A QUART, BUT IT HAS REPEATEDLY CAUSED SOME SCARY CIRCUMSTANCES AS TO WHERE I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY. *TR

GAS STATION FUEL PUMPS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE RESULTING IN FUEL GUSHING OUT THE FILLER PIPE AND SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION USED AND THEREFORE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHENEVER THE CONTACT FUELED THE VEHICLE, THE GASOLINE WOULD SPILL BACK OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. UPDATED 1/19/2010 *CN UPDATED 01/27/11*JB

2006 DODGE DURANGO FUEL LEAK AT FILLER NECK. AT END OF FUELING VEHICLE, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OF AND 2-3 SECONDS LATER GASOLINE WILL COME GUSHING OUT. *TR

WHEN FUELING MY VEHICLE AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, FUEL JUST SPEWS FROM THE TANK ALL OVER THE GROUND WHICH ANGERS ME DUE TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME EVEN AT THE LOWEST REFUEL SPEED. I NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2006 DURANGO OWNERS. THOSE THAT HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT A DODGE DEALER SAY THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM BUT COSTS $600.00 OR MORE. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE 2005 DURANGOS EXPERIENCED AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THIS NEEDS TO BE A MANDATED RECALL AND REPLACED FREE. MY CAR IS A 2006 DURANGO, 60,000 MILES, 5.7 HEMI, 2WD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN SHE REFUELED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE TANK HAD REACHED ITS CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DIAGNOSED BY THE LOCAL DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE WHEN GASOLINE BEGAN TO SPEW FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE SHUTS OFF OR IF I HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY PUTTING IN GAS AT A SLOW PACE. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR STANDING IN A POOL OF GASOLINE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB AND FOUND SEVERAL 2006 DURANGO OWNERS RESPONDED ON THE DODGE FORUM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE 2005 DURANGO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT WAS RECALLED AND FIXED. WHEN WILL DODGE MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR ALL THE 2006 DURANGO OWNERS? *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO SPEWS GAS FROM FILLER TUBE WHENEVER WE FILL IT. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A FLAP VALVE IN GAS TANK, AND SAID THE TANK SHOULD BE REPLACED (APPROX. $600). AT HER SUGGESTION WE REPORTED PROBLEM TO DODGE. THEY TALKED DIRECTLY TO SERVICE MANAGER AND AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR, MINUS A $100 DEDUCTIBLE. VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WE HAD NO EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL TIMES PREVIOUSLY, AND THAT DODGE HANDLES IT ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. GIVEN THE NIGHTMARES REPORTED BY OTHER 2006 DURANGO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, WE PAID THE $100 AND GOT A NEW TANK INSTALLED. THE NEW TANK (AND FLAP VALVE) RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. WE STILL BELIEVE THAT DODGE SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE ENTIRE REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS AND THE SEVERITY OF THE SAFETY ISSUE, BUT A $100 LOSS IS BETTER THAN A $600 LOSS FOR OUR FAMILY. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT DODGE WILL ISSUE A RECALL FOR 2006 AND LATER DURANGOS BEFORE THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR FIRE. *TR

WE BOUGHT A USED 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SOON AFTER OUR PURCHASE. WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE SEVERAL THINGS FIXED VIA RECALLS BUT WHAT IS MOST CONCERNING TO ME IS THE GAS TANK OVERFLOW PROBLEM WE HAVE BEEN HAVING. I WENT ONLINE TO LOOK UP RECALLS AND FOUND THE 2005S WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THE 2006S DO NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER/DODGE AND THEY AGREED TO PAY HALF OF THE 950.00 THAT IS WAS GOING TO COST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WE HAD TO SEND THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT AND WORK ORDER FROM THE DEALER WHICH WE DID. THAT WAS BACK IN APRIL AND WE STILL HAVE YET TO BE REIMBURSED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS MYSELF. THE GAS SHUTOFF VALVE CLICKS OFF BUT GASOLINE SPITS OUT ALL OVER ME, THE CAR, AND THE GROUND EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL IT. IT HAS ALSO SPLASHED IN MY EYES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IF ANYBODY WERE TO BE SMOKING OR HAVE A CELL PHONE THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS BODILY INJURY. SINCE DODGE FEELS IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM I AM READY TO RALLY THE TROOPS TO SUE THEM. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND GET MY MONEY BACK FROM WHAT THEY SHOULD BE REPAIRING BEFORE SOMEBODY BLOWS UP. HERE ARE SEVERAL MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING.

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?
