2006 Dodge Durango complaints

2006 DODGE DURANGO FUEL DISCHARGES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN RE-FUELING, ATTRIBUTED TO CHECK VALVE (DEFECTIVE) - POSSIBLY ATTRIBUTED TO ETHANOL CONTENT IN THE FUEL THAT HAS DEGREGATED THE CHECK VALVE? DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND WANTS NEAR 1,000 DOLLARS TO CORRECT BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. *TR

DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES, FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING . THIS ALLOWS SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. CONSEQUENCE: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. *TR

MAKE: DODGE MODEL: DURANGO YEAR: 2006 COMPLAINT NUMBER: 10308443 SUMMARY: 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

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

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO, AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLAGE FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE OCCURS WHENEVER FUEL IS DISPENSED INTO THE FUEL TANK, FOLLOWED BY FUEL SPRAYING OUT OF THE TANK. THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL WITH FUEL CONTINUOUSLY SPRAYING OUT OF THE TANK. THE DEALER HAS THE VEHICLE AND IS REPLACING THE CARBON CANISTER. THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS RECALL 05V-034. *TR

WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK IT SPEWS GAS ALL OVER YOU THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE TANK! THE PUMP HANDLE CLICKS OFF THEN HERE COMES THE GAS IT SPRAYS EVERYWHERE. *CN

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, IT SPEWS GAS OUT AT ME INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF THE PUMP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I HOLD THE PUMP OR PUT THE STOPPER THING (NOT SURE THE CORRECT NAME) ON, UNTIL I PHYSICALLY LET GO OF THE HANDLE IT CONTINUES TO OVERFLOW. THE LAST FILL UP IT ACTUALLY WENT ALL OVER ME!! I CALLED CHRYSLER AND HAVE A REFERENCE # IF NEEDED. I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED, BUT I HAVE OWNED IT FOR LESS THAN 1 YEAR. IT HAS 70000 MILES. I HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL, BUT NONE EXIST YET. HOWEVER, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005 DURANGO. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMEONE INJURED--MYSELF, MY CHILDREN, SOMEONE ELSE WHO PULLS UP AT THE GAS STATION AFTER I HAVE LEFT AND DROPS A CIGARETTE OR SOMETHING CAUSING AN EXPLOSION, ETC.....*CN

JUST PURCHASED USED 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED UPON FILLING THE FUEL TANK FOR THE FIRST TIME FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF AFTER ABOUT 4 GALLONS AND GASOLINE SPEWED FROM TANK AND FILLER NECK, CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING UNLESS I FILLED THE TANK VERY SLOWLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DURANGO AND IS POTENTIALLY A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY TO THE PEOPLE FILLING THE VEHICLE BUT TO OTHERS AROUND, NOT TO MENTION POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO VEHICLE FINISH. *CN

WHEN I FILL THE 2006 DODGE DURANGO FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND FUEL SPRAYS FUEL ALL OVER THE CAR, GROUND AND PEOPLE IF IN THE WAY. THE 2005'S WERE RECALLED FOR THIS. IT SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL FILLER VENT. IT HAPPENS AT EVERY STATION REGARDLESS OF RETAILER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHENEVER THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEEDS INCLUDING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 52500.

FUEL OVERFLOW SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL. SPILLAGE AMOUNT IS BETWEEN 1/4 AND 1/3 OF A GALLON EACH TINE THE TANK IS FILLED TO THE TOP. THE FUEL SPITS OUT OF THE FILL RECEPTACLE LIKE IT IS UNDER PRESSURE. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT SPILLS FUEL FROM THE FILLER TUBE WHEN REFUELING. EXACTLY AS STATED IN THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO CAMPAIGN 05V034000, HOWEVER 2006 IS NOT INCLUDED. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, GASOLINE SURGES OUT OF FUEL TANK ONTO THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE IF THEY ARE STANDING TOO CLOSE. AS MUCH AS A 1/2 PINT OF FLUID MAY SURGE OUT ONCE THE TANK HAS BEEN COMPLETELY FILLED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME UNLESS YOU ARE FILLING THE TANK VERY SLOWLY. IT APPEARS THAT THE PAINT IS BEING DAMAGED FROM THE GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. *TW

PURCHASED 2006 DODGE DURANGO NEW IN OCTOBER 2006. SOMETIME IN 2009 THIS BEGAN: WHEN YOU REFUEL THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK DOES NOT CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING AND FUEL SPRAYS OUT FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER NECK. THIS OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME I REFUEL. CONSEQUENCES: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. I CONTACTED DODGE TO INFORM THEM OF THIS. I TOOK THE DURANGO TO MY DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE TO ORDER A NEW FUEL TANK WHICH IS ABOUT $700.00 INSTALLED. THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ALSO INFORMED ME THE FUEL TANKS WERE ON BACK ORDER DUE TO SO MANY BEING REPLACED. *TW

I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 06 DURANGO OWNERS OF MY PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 05 MODEL BUT NOT THE 06. MY GAS TANK OVERFLOWS ON ME AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND TO THE GROUND. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE IN MULTIPLE WAYS AND FEEL THAT DODGE SHOULD ADDRESS IT. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO FUEL FILLING SHUTOFF IS NOT WORKING ANYMORE. WHEN THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, GAS COMES SPEWING OUT OF THE DURANGO ALL OVER THE PLACE. *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED 2006 DODGE DURANGO. EVERYTIME I GET GAS, NO MATTER WHERE I GET IT, THE GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE WHEN IT IS DONE FILLING. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER HOW SLOW IT IS FILLING, USUALLY DUMPING AT LEAST A PINT, EVEN UP TO A QUART OF GAS ONTO THE CAR AND THE GROUND CREATING A VERY SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I GET GAS. WHAT CAN I DO? *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 ALLOWS FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER NECK. A TECHNICIAN FROM THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS MODEL YEAR WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP); THEREFORE, HE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59004. UPDATED 01/29/10 *BF UPDATED 01/29/10.*JB

IN SEPTEMBER 2009, WE PURCHASED A USED 2006 DODGE DURANGO. IT ONLY HAD 17,500 MILES AND WAS VERY WELL CARED FOR. EVERYTIME I FUEL THE VEHICLE, THE GAS OVERFLOWS. IT SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS BUT I DO NOT SEE A RECALL FOR A 2006 DURANGO, ONLY A 2005 DURANGO. ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

I OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT. WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK THE GAS OVERFLOWS REGARDLESS OF WHICH GAS STATION I AM AT. THE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF. I FOUND A WEBSITE ONLINE WITH 49 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS! THANK YOU! HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2006/DODGE/DURANGO/FUEL+SYSTEM. *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 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

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

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

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

I OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO 4 X 4 WITH 5.7 LITER ENGINE. OVER THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AS THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. FOR SOME REASON IT DOESN'T TRIGGER THE AUTOMATIC GAS SHUTOFF OF THE FILLER NOZZLE AND ABOUT A PINT TO A QUART SHOOTS OUT - ON THE PERSON FILLING, THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE CONCRETE. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2005 DURANGOS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM IN 2006 MODELS ON THE INTERNET AND I'M AFRAID THE PROBLEM CONTINUES ON THEM. *TR

WHEN REFUELING GAS SPEWED FROM THE FILLERTUBE AFTER THE PUMP STOPS PUMPING GAS. A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS IS ON THE GROUND AND ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. *TR

HAVE BEGUN EXPERIENCING OVERFILLING OF FUEL TANK DURING PUMPING AT FUEL STATIONS. PROBLEM OCCURS AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS AND IS NOT FUEL-PROVIDER SPECIFIC. THE RESULTING GAS SPILL IS SIGNIFICANT AND AFFECTS THE INDIVIDUAL PUMPING THE FUEL AS WELL AS SPILLING ON THE VEHICLE TO A DEGREE THAT FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CLOSED VEHICLE. CONTACTED LOCAL DODGE DEALER, AS WELL AS, DODGE CORPORATE AND BOTH HAVE REFUSED TO PURSUE MATTER DESPITE A RECALL OF THE 2005 MODEL YEAR (WITH THE SAME BODY STYLE) FOR THE SAME DEFECT. *TR

THIS ISSUE ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER THE FUELING PROCESS HAS ENDED: AFTER THE GAS TANK IS FILLED AND THE NOZZLE HAS CLICKED OFF, GAS WILL SPEW FROM THE TANK. THIS IS NOT A DRIP; IT LITERALLY SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILL POINT ON THE CAR (LIKE THERE IS BACK PRESSURE IN THE TANK). THIS HAPPENS 95% OF THE TIME THE CAR IF FUELED AT A GAS STATION AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION WE ARE AT. WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SPEWING IS NOT AS SEVERE IF WE FILL THE TANK SLOWER TOWARD THE END OF THE FILL UP, BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HELP. *TR

FUEL CONSTANTLY OVERFLOWS, SQUIRTS OUT OF FILLER NOSE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO ADVENTURE AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP WITH FUEL A HALF TO A WHOLE GALLON OF FUEL COMES OUT OF THE FUEL NOZZLE. I HAVE BEEN TO AT LEAST 15 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I CALLED DODGE AND THE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS AND IS ONLY FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGOS'. I AND HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IS EATING AWAY FINISH OF PAINT. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED IN TO DUE TO FIRE HAZARD. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, THE AUTO SHUTOFF ENGAGED FROM THE GAS PUMP, AND APPROXIMATELY 1/4 GALLON OF GASOLINE ERUPTED FROM THE NOZZLE AND SPILLED DOWN OVER THE VEHICLE AND POOLED ON THE GROUND. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS HAD MULTIPLE ENGINE & ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITHIN 6 MONTH PERIOD. FIRST CAR LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, TOOK ALL STRENGTH TO GET CAR TO SHOULDER OF THE ROAD W/O POWER STEERING & LOCKED STEERING COLUMN. LOCAL MECHANIC SAID THAT COMPUTER WAS FRIED & COVERED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY. TOWED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THERE WAS NOT A COMPUTER PROBLEM, JUST CAM SHAFT NEEDED REPLACING & RECALL ON INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER. AFTER $450 REPAIR FOR CAM SHAFT & TOW, A WEEK LATER CAR STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. APROX EVERY OTHER TIME I WOULD START CAR, THE RADIO & ELECTRICAL DISPLAY (CLOCK) ON RADIO WOULD NOT WORK--APPEARED TO NOT GET POWER. SIX WEEKS LATER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. BY THIS TIME, ORIGINAL DODGE DEALERSHIP HAD BEEN CLOSED, SO WENT TO ANOTHER DODGE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY FOUND ANOTHER WIRING PROBLEM WITH ENGINE. COULD NOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM WITH AUDIO/CLOCK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER. THIS TIME LOCAL MECHANIC ADVISED IT WAS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. REPLACED FUEL PUMP, CHECKED FUSE & STILL COULD NOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM WITH AUDIO/DISPLAY. 9 DAYS LATER WENT TO START CAR IN THE AM, AND ELECTRICAL SEEMED TO SPUTTER (LIGHTS, INSTRUMENT PANE, WIPERS, RADIO) BUT CAR WOULD NOT START. STARTER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ENGAGING THE ENGINE AT ALL. DIAGNOSED AS STARTED MOTOR PROBLEM, STARTER MOTOR REPLACED, BUT CAR STILL NOT FIXED. THEN TOLD BATTERY TERMINALS & CABLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR NOW STARTS, BUT AUDIO/DISPLAY

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

2006 DODGE DURANGO FUEL OVERFLOW WHILE FILLING. PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, AND HAPPENS WITH EVERY FUELING. THERE ARE TWO EXISTING FUEL OVERFLOW RECALLS ON THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO, BUT NO SIMILAR RECALLS FOR THE 2006 DURANGO YET. *TR

OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 SLT IS IN THE SERVICE DEPT FOR THE 2ND TIME IN TWO WEEKS FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I AM TOLD THE "TRANSMISSION SOLENOID" AND "TRANSMISSION FILTERS" NEED TO BE REPLACED. TWO WEEKS AGO, A "TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE WHEN THE DURANGO'S "TRANSMISSION CHECK LIGHT" CAME ON. SHORTLY LATER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AS THOUGH IT WAS LOSING POWER. IN BOTH SITUATIONS, THE DURANGO EXITED THE FREEWAY BUT BEGAN TO JOLT FORWARD AND BACKWARD. IN BOTH CASES, MY WIFE (2ND SITUATION) AND I (1ST SITUATION) BARELY MADE IT HOME AND TO THE SERVICE DEALERSHIP. THERE IS A CLEAR SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE... AND IT LOOKS TO BE MANY MORE MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE (SAFETY BULLETIN #0803006; ITEM #10021239). THESE SITUATIONS COULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS SAFETY RESULTS DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE ISSUE. PLEASE RESPOND WITH DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING THE REFERENCED SAFETY BULLETINS AND ITEMS #'S. THE PARTS ARE ON BACK-ORDER FOR 1+ WEEKS AND WE DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING FORWARD... EVEN WHEN/IF IT IS "REPAIRED". I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER IF THEY WOULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO NY, FL, MYRTLE BEACH, OR THE TN MOUNTAINS AFTER IT IS REPAIRED... IT WAS NOT RECOMMENDED. SAFETY RECALLS SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR DURANGO TRANSMISSIONS. *TR
