2006 Dodge Durango complaints

STARTING ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS AGO, WHENEVER GAS TANK IS FILLED, GAS GUSHES BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE, EVEN AFTER THE PUMPING STOPS. WE'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THIS CAUSES WASTE AND A SAFETY HAZARD, AS IT USUALLY SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND SPEWS ONTO WHOEVER FILLED THE TANK. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 35K MILES ON IT. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH 97,XXX MILES. FUEL SPEWS OUT OF FILL TUBE WHEN FILL-UP IS COMPLETE. HAVE TO FILL THE VEHICLE AT VERY SLOW RATE TO HELP PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING, BUT DOES NOT ALWAYS PREVENT. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR. *TR

HAVE HAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED, AFTER HAVING RECALL FOR INTERIOR LIGHTING PERFORMED THE AUTO FEATURE OF POWER DOOR UNLOCK CEASED TO WORK. THAT WAS ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. NOW THE AUTO UNLOCK AND LOCK FEATURE HAVE BOTH QUIT WORKING ONCE AGAIN. WILL NOT REPROGRAM WITH PROCEDURE IN OWNERS MANUAL. FEEL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL NEED REPLACING AGAIN. I DO HAVE EXTENDED FACTORY WARRANTY TO 70K MILES, BUT AM CONCERNED IF THIS KEEPS HAPPENING, WHAT ACTION DO I TAKE? *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT KEY INSTALLED IN IGNITION. MY THREE YEAR OLD SON CLIMBED UP INTO THE DRIVER SEAT AND SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT A KEY, AND ROLLED DOWN A HILL WITH JUST HIM IN THE CAR AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT BUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES COULD HAVE BEEN ALOT WORSE. THERE IS A RECALL OUT THERE FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE , AND MODEL DURANGO BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED, THE RECALL IS FOR A "SHIFTER PAWL IMPROPERLY INSTALLED". THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP BEING REPAIRED AND PHOTOS OF THE ITEM WILL BE TAKEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TORN APART. FOR SOME REASON CHRYSLER DENIED MY CLAIM TO ASSUME FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THEY STATED MY VEHICLE HAD 90,000 MILES AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, ALTHOUGH IT WAS THERE MISTAKE THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT TO BEGIN WITH. THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE VERY WELL HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 80,000 MILES, BUT KNOW ONE EVER TRIED TO SHIFT IT OUT OF PARK BEFORE WITHOUT THE KEYS. TOTAL DAMAGE TO CAR HAS NOT BEEN TOTALED YET, BUT IS ESTIMATED TO COST $5,000 TO $8,000 DOLLARS. *TR

AT THE END OF FILLING THE GAS TANK, FREQUENTLY WHEN PUMPS SHUT OFF, GASOLINE IS EJECTED FROM THE GAS TANK FILLER OPENING. THIS OCCURS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS INDICATING THAT IT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO A PUMP OR STATION. *TR

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILL HOLE AFTER FUELING IS COMPLETE. HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE FILL THE VEHICLE. SAME ISSUE THAT WAS HAPPENING ON 2005 MODEL THAT HAD A RECALL. *TR

ON MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, THE STUDS AND BOLTS HOLDING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TOGETHER FAILED. THIS REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF TWO GASKETS, FOUR DOUBLE ENDED STUDS AND TWO BOLTS AS WELL AS TWENTY RETAINERS. THIS VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY OFF ROAD DRIVING AND THE STUDS AND BOLTS FAILED DURING NORMAL EVERYDAY WEAR AND TEAR, WHICH SEEMS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A VEHICLE LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD. IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT INFERIOR MATERIALS WERE USED IN THESE STUDS AND BOLTS LEADING TO THE FAILURE? *TR

I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. HOWEVER, EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL SPEWS FROM THE TANK ONCE THE PUMP KICKS OFF. THIS OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME REGARDLESS OF THE SERVICE STATION OR PUMP USED, SETTING UP A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND HAZARDOUS WASTE SITUATION AT THE SERVICE STATION. DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THIS CONDITION AND NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED (28 ON ONE SITE), I'M SHOCKED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO INVESTIGATION OR RECALL ISSUED. I HAVE RESORTED TO STOPPING THE PUMP WELL SHORT OF FILLING THE TANK, WHICH IS IMPRACTICAL ON LONG TRIPS. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 33,500 MILES ON IT. WHENEVER I COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK WITH GASOLINE, IT OVERFLOWS. GASOLINE IS SPRAYED ONTO THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WE NO LONGER FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY IN ORDER TO AVOID THE PROBLEM, BUT THIS IS NOT AN IDEAL SOLUTION AND IT STILL OCCURS RANDOMLY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON EARLIER MODELS (2005) BUT SO FAR HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE ON OUR VEHICLE. I THINK THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE CHRYSLER/DODGE EXPAND THIS RECALL TO LATER MODELS. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO HAD REAR BRAKE FAILURE. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED HE HEARD A RUBBING SOUND THAT HE RECOGNIZED AS A SIGN THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE PISTON IN THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER WAS FROZEN WHICH RESULTED IN A METAL ON METAL CONDITION WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONDITION HAD COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR. THE CONSUMER FOUND THERE WAS RECALL ON THE ANTI-LOCK CONTROL UNIT/MODULE. THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS FOR SPECIFIC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS AND HIS WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THE RECALL WAS FOR A SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD AND HAD NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE BRAKE FAILURE. *JB

CAR STEERED RIGHT (RIGHT WHEEL IN TO KEEP CAR STRAIGHT) AND PULLED LEFT WHEN BRAKING (HAD TO TURN THE WHEEL WHEN BRAKING TO KEEP STRAIGHT). RACK AND PINION BOX WASN'T HOLDING TORQUE. REPLACED IT, INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT AND STEERING BOX. 22,880 MILES. *TR

ALTERNATOR GROUND BURNED. MELTED TERMINAL/NUT TO THE NUB, BURNED THROUGH THE CABLE AND CONNECTOR, PLASTIC SHIELDING OF OTHER HARNESS SHIELDING MELTED. SIGNIFICANT HEAT/ PROBABLE FIRE PRESENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DROVE THROUGH A YIELD SIGN. SHE WAS UNAWARE IF HER VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT SNAPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AFTER THE CRASH. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THE STARTER AND IGNITION WERE REPLACED IN THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 38,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHENEVER THE CONTACT FILLS UP HIS FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT A NEW FUEL TANK WAS NEEDED. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME FAILURE HE WAS EXPERIENCING. HE BELIEVES A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK AT THE END OF REFUELING. *TR

AT THE END OF FILLING THE GAS TANK, FREQUENTLY WHEN PUMPS SHUT OFF, GASOLINE IS EJECTED FROM THE GAS TANK FILLER OPENING. THIS OCCURS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS INDICATING THAT IT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO A PUMP OR STATION. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 1:30 PM TODAY, I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO WHEN BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING STRUCK. WE WERE IN TRAFFIC, MOVING AT A RATE OF ABOUT 25 MPH AND HAD JUST COMPLETED A LEFT TURN. THERE WAS NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE DURANGO WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THERE WERE TWO PASSENGERS AND A DRIVER IN THE SUV AT THE TIME OF THE DEPLOYMENT. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, A LARGE QUANTITY OF FUEL SPEWS OUT AT THE END. THIS STARTED ~6 MONTHS AGO, AND NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. IT HAS HAPPENED AT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS / PUMPS. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN A 2005 DURANGO RECALL, HOWEVER 2006 VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. ALL EQUIPMENT IS ORIGINAL (NO PARTS REPLACED). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVERY TIME HE FILLS UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE GAS TANK AND SPLASH ALL OVER HIM. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $1,400. THERE IS A RECALL REGARDING THIS FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE FOR THE 2005 DURANGO, BUT NOT THE 2006. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WITH OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO, THERE IS A SHAKE OF THE TRANSMISSION BETWEEN 40-50 MILES AN HOUR. WE FIRST TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM AND A LEAK THEY REPLACED THE FRONT END DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER THIS THERE HAVE BEEN 3 TRANSMISSION LEAKS THAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME SHAKING SO WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. WITH THIS DEALERSHIP, THEY WENT ON A TEST DRIVE WITH US AND WERE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE SHAKING. IT IS NOTED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OUR VEHICLE AND WHEN CALLING THE CHRYSLER STAR CENTER THEY SAY THAT THIS IS THE WAY THE TRUCK IS DESIGNED AND THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM! WE WERE TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER DISTRICT MANAGER THAT WE NEED TO WAIT FOR CHRYSLER TO MAKE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THAT THE SHAKING WILL NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS, BUT AS I SAID EARLIER, WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION LEAKS. WHEN WE WERE CONTACTED ABOUT EXTENDING OUR WARRANTY, WE WERE DENIED DUE TO THERE BEING A CLAIM AGAINST CHRYSLER. BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING OF THE TRUCK, WE ARE UNABLE TO PULL OUR TRAVEL TRAILER THAT IS THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN WE DID DRIVE THE TRUCK PULLING THE TRAILER THAT IS MUCH LESS THAN THE TOWING CAPACITY OF THE VEHICLE, IT SHAKES BAD ENOUGH TO SHAKE CUPS OUT OF THE HOLDERS. WE NOW HAVE TO USE SOMEONE ELSE'S VEHICLE TO PULL OUR CAMPER. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO WHICH I BOUGHT NEW I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR A CLUNKING SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR END AT 10,000 MILES THE DEALER SAID THAT THE SOUND WAS NORMAL NOW AT 42,000 MILES IT IS GETTING LOUDER AND MORE FREQUENT I TOOK IT BACK IN AND WAS TOLD IT IS NORMAL I WENT ON DODGE FORUMS AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE MY PERSONAL MECHANIC TEST DROVE IT AND SAID IT WAS NOT NORMAL AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER HE THINKS IT IS EITHER THE TRANSFER CASE OR TRANSMISSION. *TR

EVERYTIME I COMPLETELY FILL UP THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, I GET GAS SPRAYED ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS STARTED OCCURRING IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, AND IT WILL OCCUR EVERYTIME UNLESS I FILL IT AT THE SLOWEST PUMP SPEED, AND THEN SOMETIMES IT STILL OCCURS. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOW I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT I ABSOLUTELY "LOVE" EXCEPT THE FACT THAT THE PAST 2 MONTHS HAS DEVELOPED A PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS (EVEN AT DIFFERENT STATIONS), MY GAS TANK OVER FILLS AND GAS IS "GUSHING" OUT AND A GOOD AMOUNT IS LOST. MY CONCERN IS NOT SO MUCH THE EXPENSE IN WASTE OF EXTRA GAS I NEED TO PAY FOR. BUT, I HAVE GAS DRIPPING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AND IN BETWEEN MY BUMPER FASCIA. AND, THIS ALSO CAUSES A GREAT SCENT OF GASOLINE THAT ALSO SOMEHOW GETS INTO THE VEHICLE, AND LINGERS FOR QUITE A BIT OF TIME AFTERWARDS. I HATE THE SMELL OF GAS. I NOW FILL UP WHEN I DO NOT HAVE MY3 KIDS IN THE TRUCK DUE TO THE SMELL AND GAS FUMES ARE KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVER A RECALL ID# 58886 WHICH SEEMS TO DESCRIBE THE SAME EXACT SITUATION I AM HAVING. UNFORTUNATE FOR ME, THIS RECALL WAS FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S AND NOT 2006. I HAVE ALSO BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH DODGE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM KEEP TELLING THEM SAME PROBLEM AS THE O5. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS SITUATION INVESTIGATED. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO'S BE CONSIDERED AS WELL. IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL A LITTLE BETTER KNOWING I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS STILL A CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT REALLY, FOR SAFETY REASON MUST BE RESOLVED. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE MANY INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS AT GAS STATIONS THAT TAKE PLEASURE IN DISCARDING THEIR LIT CI

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, THE GASOLINE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL BUT THE VEHICLE STILL "SPITS" OUT ROUGHLY A HALF GALLON OF GASOLINE ALL OVER THE GROUND, VEHICLE AND THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. I HAVE TRIED MANY GAS STATIONS TO BE SURE THAT IT IS NOT THE PUMP AND HAVE VERIFIED THAT IT IS THE VEHICLE. IN MY RESEARCH AND DISCUSSIONS WITH DODGE DEALERS, IT SEEMS THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 2005 MODELS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, BUT THEY FAIL TO ISSUE ONE FOR THE 2006 MODEL. I CALLED DAIMLERCHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT IT WILL COST ROUGHLY $800 TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED AND GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I FIND THIS UNREASONABLE AS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. AS A FIREFIGHTER, I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH FUEL SPILLS AND THE DEFINITE POTENTIAL FOR A LARGE FIRE AS A RESULT OF A SMALL FUEL SPILL SUCH AS THIS. IN ADDITION TO THE DANGER OF FIRE THERE IS ALSO A POTENTIAL FOR ASPIRATION OF GASOLINE LIQUID OR FUMES AS A RESULT OF THE GASOLINE SPEWING OUT AT THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. THIS COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL DEATH IF IT OCCURRED. I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD THE GASOLINE SPEW OUT AND GOT A DROP IN MY EYE, REQUIRING ME TO RUN TO THE BATHROOM AND FLUSH MY EYE OUT. THE SPILLS HAVE ALSO RUINED ARTICLES OF MY CLOTHING AND WILL EVENTUALLY RUIN THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK AFTER FILLING THE TANK AT THE PUMP. SAME ISSUE WAS FOUND ON THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND FIXED BY DODGE. APPROXIMATELY 1/2 TO 1 FULL CUP OF GAS SHOOTS OUT DURING FILL-UP. *TR

WHEN FUELING MY VEHICLE, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AT THE END OF THE FILL-UP SPITTING APPROXIMATELY 1 PINT OF GAS EACH TIME. THE CONDITION OCCURS WHEN THE TANK IS SHOWN AS EMPTY OR PARTIALLY EMPTY (I.E. 1/2 TANK). IN ADDITION, THE ISSUE OCCURS WHETHER I MANUALLY HOLD THE GAS PUMP LEVER OR PLACE THE PUMP LEVER ON ITS AUTOMATIC LATCH. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME CONSISTENT OVER THE PAST 2-3 MONTHS WHILE IT ONLY OCCURRED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I JUST TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REVIEW AND THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, 3/19, AND ON 3/22 THE FUEL SPITTING OCCURRED DURING FILL-UP ONCE AGAIN. *TR

EVERY THIRD OR FORTH FILL UP GAS WILL COME SPURTING OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER. COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WHEN FILLING VEHICLE WITH FUEL AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, AS THE GAS TANK APPROACHES FULL AND THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. IT HAS SPRAYED ME TWICE AND TODAY SPRAYED THE GAS PUMP UNIT AS IT IS UNDER PRESSURE WHEN IT OVERFILLS. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOW I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT I ABSOLUTELY "LOVE" EXCEPT THE FACT THAT THE PAST 12 MONTHS HAS DEVELOPED A PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS (EVEN AT DIFFERENT STATIONS), MY GAS TANK OVER FILLS AND GAS IS "GUSHING" OUT AND A GOOD AMOUNT IS LOST. MY CONCERN IS NOT SO MUCH THE EXPENSE IN WASTE OF EXTRA GAS I NEED TO PAY FOR. BUT, I HAVE GAS DRIPPING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AND IN BETWEEN MY BUMPER FASCIA. AND, THIS ALSO CAUSES A GREAT SCENT OF GASOLINE THAT ALSO SOMEHOW GETS INTO THE VEHICLE, AND LINGERS FOR QUITE A BIT OF TIME AFTERWARDS. I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MAINLY FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY IT HAS GIVEN ME WHILE DRIVING MY 4 YEAR OLD SON. HE HATES THE SMELL OF GAS. I NOW FILL UP WHEN I DO NOT HAVE HIM IN THE TRUCK. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVER A RECALL ID# 58886 WHICH SEEMS TO DESCRIBE THE SAME EXACT SITUATION I AM HAVING. UNFORTUNATE FOR ME, THIS RECALL WAS FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S AND NOT 2006. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS SITUATION INVESTIGATED. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO'S BE CONSIDERED AS WELL. IN SPEAKING WITH MY GAS STATION PETROLEUM PUMPER'S, THEY ALL (AT VARIOUS STATIONS SUCH AS SUNOCO AND HESS) MENTION TO ME THAT A LOT OF DURANGO THAT COME IN HAVE THAT PROBLEM. SO, IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL BETTER KNOWING I AM NOT ALONE. THIS IS STILL A CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT REALLY, FOR SAFETY REASON MUST BE RESOLVED. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE MANY INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS AT GAS STATIONS THAT

GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER HOLE BEFORE TOPPING OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS STATION. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE GAS PUMPS DO NOT DETECT THAT THE TANK IS NEARING FULL. MANUALLY FILLING VERY SLOWLY STILL CAUSES GAS TO GUSH BACK OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE. SERVICE AT DODGE DEALERSHIP SAID IT MIGHT BE THE TANK BREATHER, BUT THE DID NOT REPAIR.*TR

WHEN FUELING 2006 DODGE DURANGO, LIKE ONE QUART OF FUEL ERUPTS OUT OF FUEL TANK FILLER WHEN TANK FILLS COMPLETELY THIS HAPPENS TO ME EVERY TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT CALLED ABOUT A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR IN THE VEHICLE WAS ILLUMINATED, WHICH MEANT THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE AIR BAGS ON SIX DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. HE NOTICED THAT THE INDICATOR WOULD TURN OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THEN TURN BACK ON OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. HE SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT THE DEALER WAS ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, NOTHING COULD BE DONE AT THE TIME. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,200 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,318.

STARTING ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO, EVERYTIME WE FILLUP THE TANK IT OVERFLOWS AT THE END OF THE PROCESS. THE OVERFLOW SPEWS GASOLINE ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ON THE PAVEMENT CREATING A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. IN SOME CASES, EITHER MY WIFE OR I RECEIVED SPLASH IMPACT ON OUR HANDS AND CLOTHES. *TR

AT THE END OF REFUELING MY 2006 DURANGO GASOLINE JUST COMES POURING OUT. IT GOES OUT ALL OVER MY DURANGO AND ME. EVERY SINGLE TIME. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME ABOUT $800 TO REPLACE THE TANK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT GASOLINE SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN PLACING FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL NOZZLE DID NOT STOP WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. FUEL STILL SPRAYED OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 36,000. UPDATED 03/23/09. *LJ UPDATED 03/23/09. *JB

MY POLICE DEPARTMENT'S 2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS HAD 5 CAM SENSORS FAIL (ONE SENSOR TWICE, THE OTHER 3 TIMES). IT HAPPENS EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR RUNS ROUGH. EACH TIME THE PATROL VEHICLE IS TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE. THIS TIME I'M TOLD THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER WITH SAYS TO ME THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHENEVER THE CONTACT FILLS THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL; HOWEVER, FUEL CONTINUES TO SPRAY OUT OF THE TANK WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000. UPDATED 3/19/09 *CN THE DEALER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 03/23/09.*JB

2006 DURANGO HEMI V4 5.7 LTD. FUEL OVERFLOWS ONTO GROUND AND TRUCK WHEN FILLING UP TANK. *TR

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, DURING COLD WEATHER 40 DEGREES AND LOWER THE WIPER BLADES & LIGHTS, INTERIOR & EXTERIOR ACTIVATE ON THEIR OWN. *TR

THE FUEL TANK ON MY DODGE DURANGO SPEWS GAS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND PAVEMENT AT THE END OF FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. THIS BEGAN OCCURRING ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE GAS COULD IGNITE, PLUS IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP (ROGER WILLIAMS DODGE) IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I FIND THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH DURANGOS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT. I WANT THE GAS TANK REPLACED IMMEDIATELY ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SWITCH. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, HE DISCOVERED A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR DEFECT IN WHICH HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE HE FREQUENTLY HAS TO USE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,900. UPDATED 3/19/09 *CN UPDATED 03/23/09. *JB

WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, THE GAS DOES NOT SHUT OFF, BUT OVERFLOWS SPEWING GASOLINE OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE LAST TWO TIMES I FILLED UP, THERE WAS JUST A SMALL AMOUNT WHICH OVERFLOWED. TODAY I WAS DOUSED WITH GASOLINE FROM MY WAIST TO MY ANKLES. *TR

FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, WHEN I REMOVE THE NOZZLE FROM THE TANK GASOLINE OVERFLOWS ON THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP AT THE GAS STATION, BUT I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALER DURING MY LAST OIL CHANGE, AND HE SAID MY GANK TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY DURANGO OVER A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THIS WAS IN THE SPRING WHEN WINTER ROLLED AROUND AND COOLER MONTHS ALL FUEL PUMPS WOULD OVER FILL THE FUEL TANK. PROBLEM WENT AWAY IN THE SPRING THEN THIS FALL/WINTER THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN. IT ACTS AS IF THE FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM IS BECOMING RESTRICTED WITH THE COOLER TEMPERATURES. CAUSING FUEL TO BE BURPED OUT AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHENEVER THE CONTACT FILLS THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS WHENEVER THE TANK IS FULL; HOWEVER, FUEL STILL SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. THE FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE AND CAP. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,000. UPDATED 1/8/09 *CN THE DEALER FOUND A FAULTY TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. UPDATED 01/14/09.*JB

WHEN MY FUEL TANK IS EMPTY AND I REFILL THE TANK, AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF GAS POURS OUT OF THE TANK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 7 WEEKS. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IT DOESN'T START BUT CONTINUES TO TURN ITSELF OVER AND OVER EVEN AFTER THE KEY IS SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY AND DODGE REFUSES TO FIX EITHER ONE ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AT THE SHOP. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT SHOOTS GAS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS LEADING UP TO THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DODGE DEALER AND EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT ON THE DIAGNOSIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE PLACING FUEL IN THE VEHICLE, THE TANK BECAME FULL AND GASOLINE SHOT OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE GROUND AND THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAD PROBLEMS WITH BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKETS FAILING AT 40,000 MILES ON A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. FORTUNATELY I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERED THE PROBLEM. ALL OTHER CARS THAT I HAVE HAD HAVE GONE MUCH LONGER BEFORE NEEDING THE GASKETS REPLACED. *TR

HI, MY NAME IS [XXX] , AND I NEED SOME HELP. JANUARY 9TH 2007 I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO FROM BUDDY JONES FORD IN GREENWOOD MISSISSIPPI. ON MAY 31ST 2008, THE TRUCK BURN TO THE GROUND. THIS OCCURRED WHILE MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT; SHE BARELY MADE IT OUT OF THE TRUCK IN TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS AT A LOST OF UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN. SO I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SURF THE INTERNET TO FIND INFORMATION ABOUT THIS BRAND OF VEHICLE. I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PARTICULAR SUV HAD AN INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER THAT WOULD OVERHEAT AND SOMETIMES IGNITE INTO FLAMES. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHER CONSUMERS THAT HAD EXPERIENCED THEY'RE DODGE DURANGO'S BURNING TO GROUND, WHILE JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE. SO I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO PLEAD MY CASE. AT THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL, AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES IN QUESTION. THEN THEY AGREED TO SEND A LOCAL CONTRACTED INSPECTOR TO CHECK OUT MY VEHICLE. THE CONCLUSION OF HIS INSPECTION WAS THAT THE TRUCK BURNED THROUGH NO FAULT OF CHRYSLER'S DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PROVE THEM WRONG, OR HAVE IT INSPECTED MYSELF. MY INSURANCE HAD LAPSED AT THAT TIME, AND I KNOW THAT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. BUT NOW I AM STUCK WITH A TRUCK THAT IS NOT USABLE, AND THE COMPANY THAT FINANCED IT IS LOOKING FOR THEY'RE MONTHLY PAYMENT. WITH I CAN NOT AFFORD BECAUSE I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORWARD TO WORK. SO I HAVE DONE A VOLUNTEER REPOSSESSION AND THEY WILL PICK THE TRUCK UP SOON.
