2006 Dodge Durango complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V817000 (AIR BAGS) HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND A SECOND NOTIFICATION WOULD BE SENT, ONCE THE PART BECOMES AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE.

1] ENGINE STALLS OUT DURING STOPS, TURNING, AND REVERSING. 2] IGNITION WILL NOT TURN TO ON POSITION OCCASIONALLY. *TR

IGNITION SWITCH LOCKS UP FREQUENTLY. VEHICLE STALLS OUT DURING STOPS, TURNS AND BACKING UP.

EVERY TIME I GET GAS THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AS FULL, THEN A BUNCH OF GAS COMES GUSHING OUT AND GETS ALL OVER THE CAR/GROUND/ME. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND IT IS NOT ONLY A FIRE HAZARD, BUT ALSO AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

THIS IS DEFINITELY A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. I BOUGHT MY USED DODGE DURANGO LAST OCTOBER 2014. EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK UP,THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF FROM A FULL TANK OF GAS ON MY VEHICLE, THEN THE GAS COMES GUSHING BACK OUT OF THE FUEL NECK OF THE DURANGO'S GAS TANK. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON PREVIOUS YEARS BUT NONE ON 2006. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE FILING COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALLS? THIS CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE AUTOMOBILE PAINT, CLOTHES, PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. HOWEVER, MOST CONCERNING IS THE SAFETY HAZARD OF A POTENTIAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION FROM THE OVERFLOWED GAS AND FUMES HAPPENING AROUND MULTIPLE CARS, PEOPLE AND GAS PUMPS AT GAS STATIONS WHEN 2006 DODGE DURANGO OWNERS FILL UP THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM CAUSED BY ANY OWNER. THIS IS A MECHANICAL DEFECT IN THE DODGE DURANGO FILLER TUBE VALVE IN THE GAS TANKS. PLEASE HELP TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED BY THE DODGE COMPANY. *TR

I BOUGHT MY DODGE DURANGO USED IN 2010 AND EVERYTIME I FILL MY GAS TANK UP AND THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF FROM A FULL TANK, THE GAS COMES GUSHING OUT OF THE FUEL NECK. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON PREVIOUS YEARS BUT NONE ON 2006. DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE FILING COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALLS? THIS CAUSES DAMAGE TO PAINT, CLOTHES, PEOPLE STANDING IN THE WAY WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE IT HAPPENS. DOES IT TAKE AN ACTUAL INJURY OR FIRE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? ITS RIDICULOUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!! I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND IT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING IS DONE SO DODGE OWNERS CAN CONTINUE TO LOVE THE CARS THEY BOUGHT. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS 2006 DURANGO USED IN 2012.FROM DAY 1, IT HAS SPEWED FUEL OUT WHEN FILLING UP. I HAVE BEEN SOAKED ON A FEW OCCASIONS, AND HAVE HAD FUEL SPRAYED IN MY EYES. I HAVE SEEN PRIOR YEARS BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON, BUT NOT THIS MODEL YEAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP, ONCE THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, GAS SPEWS FROM THE FUEL FILL AREA. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK AND THE ABS MODULES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,920.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT WAS CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE TPMS MONITORING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE VEHICLE OPERATED FOR 60 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY PRIOR TO THE COLLISION. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE SNOW PACKED, AND THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS -1 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT. THE VEHICLE WAS PREPARING TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. THE DRIVER WAS IN THE ACT OF BRAKING AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 1-2 MPH. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACCELERATING WITHOUT CONTROL INTO THE INTERSECTION. THE DRIVER SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES WHILE THE WHEELS SPUNOUT ON THE ROAD. ANOTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE DODGE DURANGO AT ABOUT 45 MPH DAMAGING THE LEFT SIDE AND INJURING THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER AND THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER. THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WITH THE COLLISION ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. *TR

AS I WAS REFUELING I NOTICED IN THE PUMP THAT IT WAS AT 29 GALLONS BUT IT WAS STILL FILLING UP AND MY TANK WASN'T EMPTY SO RIGHT AWAY I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND LOOKED ON THE BOTTOM THAT IT WAS SPILLING ALL THE GAS I'M THINKING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE FILLER NECK OR HOSE BUT FROM UNDER THE CAR SO SOMETHING IS WRONG BECAUSE IT DIDN'T STOP FILLING UP, THX *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATE THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TANK FILLER HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

APPROXIMATELY DURING SUMMER OF 2013, UPON STARTING ENGINE, THE IGNITION WOULD "STICK" WHEN KEY WAS TURNED FORWARD. DURANGO WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF AND KEY TAKEN OUT OF IGNITION SWITCH TO TRY IT AGAIN. THEN, UPON SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AND BACKING UP, THE VEHICLE WOULD COME TO AN ABRUPT HALT AND BE IMMOVABLE FOR A TIME, USUALLY UNTIL PUTTING INTO PARK AND RE-STARTING VEHICLE. THIS IS WHEN THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. WE HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED AT WHICH TIME THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED IN PLACE, CAUSING BLACK SKID MARKS FROM ITS POINT OF TOW TO TOW TRUCK. THE AUTO SHOP REPLACED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH WAS "STUCK OR LOCKED IN POSITION". MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OFF TEMPORARILY. IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN IN AUGUST, 2014. TOOK TO AUTO SHOP TO DIAGNOSE. AFTER 677.74 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS, LIGHT STILL REMAINS ON. *TR

AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE IN 2009, IT BEGAN SHUTTING OFF WHEN I DECELERATED FOR STOPS OR TURNS. NO ENGINE LIGHT WARNING. IN 2009, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES. NO HELP. ISSUES HAVE CONTINUED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP IN 2010 3-4 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. SEEMS TO SHUT OFF MORE IN WINTER THAN SUMMER BUT IS VERY RANDOM. IN 2011, MORE EXPLORATORY WORK WAS COMPLETED AT DEALERSHIP. IS THERE A LEMON LAW? IN 2012, I HAD SOMEONE ELSE TINKER ON IT. STILL NO ASSISTANCE. THE ISSUES ARE LESS ANNOYING NOW AND BECOMING DANGEROUS AS IT NOW SHUTS OFF AT ANY TIME, AT ANY SPEED, IN ANY WEATHER. I'VE TRIED NEW BRAKES, COUPLE OF NEW BATTERIES, NEW COMPUTER CHIP, COMPLETE VISUAL OVERALL WITH COMPUTER ASSISTANCE AT DEALERSHIP. ONCE WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, O'REILY'S COMPUTER SAID THAT THE SENSOR BOX HAD MOISTURE IN IT. DEALERSHIP FOUND NO SUCH EVIDENCE. ALL MAINTENANCE LIKE OIL CHANGES ARE UP-TO-DATE. IN 2013 IN ADDITION TO THE SHUTTING OFF, THERE IS A BUMPING WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND NO ONE CAN CONTRIBUTE THAT ISSUE TO ANYTHING EITHER! NO HELP. SCARED TO DRIVE BUT NO $$ GET A NEW ONE. I FEEL ABANDONED WITH A LEMON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE QUARTER PANEL BECAME CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY AND CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO MALFUNCTION. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE SELECTOR MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

UPON FIRST PURCHASING AT A DEALERSHIP THE PURCHASE WAS AS A USED VEHICLE, SO NO WARRANTY IS OR WAS IN PLACE. A FEW MONTHS LATER WHEN FILLING THE TANK AT A GAS STATION THE FIRST INCIDENT OF PROPULSION OF GASOLINE FORCING OUT OF THE TANK, FIRST HAPPENED. THEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE THE MOTOR WOULD NOT START. USING AN OBD TO CHECK CODES THERE WAS NO ERROR CODES BUT STILL ENDED UP CLEARING IT ANYWAYS WHICH ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO START (WHICH MEANS ITS THE COMPUTER). NOW, THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW IS DOWN AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP, CHECKED THE MOTOR AND THE MOTOR FOR THE WINDOW IS FINE, BUT CHECKING THE SWITCH IT WOULD ONLY UNLOCK DOOR, NOT ALLOW LOCK AND ABSOLUTELY NO WINDOW CONTROL AT ALL FROM EITHER THE PASSENGER DOOR SWITCH OR DRIVER SIDE SWITCH. WHEN LOOKING AT THE SWITCHES TURNS OUT THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE NOT SOLDERED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET ANY OF THE PROBLEMS FIXED FOR ANYONE NOW WOULD BE FOR A RECALL, BECAUSE THE YEAR BEING 2014 NO WARRANTY WILL COVER ANY PROBLEMS THAT I OR ANYONE ELSE IS FACING! *TR

EVERY TIME I REFUEL, GAS COMES SQUIRTING OUT OF MY TANK. THERE IS NOW LUMPS AND BUMPS ON THE BODY OF MY CAR NOW UNDER THE GAS TANK. I HAVE TO KEEP CHECKING MY GAS GAUGE WHILE RE FUELING SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. *TR

LITERALLY EVERY SINGE TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE UP, GASOLINE ERUPTS FROM THE TANK, SPRAYS EVERYWHERE, PROBABLY SPRAYS A FULL YARD AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL SPRAY HAS RUSTED OUT THE FENDER BELOW THE FUEL DOOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY CAR AT 65 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY CAR JUST TURNED OFF. NO WARNING OR NOTICE. CAR CAME TO A CRAWL. I WAS LUCKY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONE THERE THE CAR LIGHTS CAME ON THE CHECK ENGINE, RED BOLT LIGHTS AND THE OIL LIGHT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I STARTED CAR AND IT STALLED THEN STARTED BUT WAS A ROCKY START. I SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED. THE CAR WORKED FINE. THEN 3 MONTHS LATER THE CAR DID THE SAME TIME. THIS WHEN I PLACED IT IN THE SHOP THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. SO $1400 DOLLARS LATER AND 5 DAYS I PICKED UP MY CAR AND 3 MILES AWAY FROM SHOP THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK THEY DID A TEST THE CODES WHERE COMING BACK AS A WEIRD CODES. THEY DID NOT HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER SO THEY DID A THROTTLE CLEAN. CAR WORKED FINE. NEXT 3 MONTHS. I WENT OUT OF STATE IN JUNE 2013 WHEN MY CAR STOPPED AGAIN MY CAR WAS LEFT IN THIS STATE WAITING ON COMPUTER BOARD THAT WAS OUT OF STOCK UNTIL AUGUST 2013 WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR THEY PLACED THE NEW SYSTEM IN IT ALONG WITH A WIRELESS KEY. AS SOON AS I CROSSED STATE LINE IT STOPPED AGAIN. AS YOU CAN SEE THESE ISSUE ARE UNSOLVABLE OR NO WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBLE FOR ISSUE. I STILL HAVE ISSUE BUT I CANT EXPRESS IT ALL IN THIS SOME AMOUNT OF TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO, BOUGHT IT USED ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF AGO, APPROXIMATELY MARCH OF 2013, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS AND AFTER IT HAPPENING MULTIPLE TIMES WE FIGURED OUT THAT IT HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS WET/RAINING OUT. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS WHEN GOING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY...TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE JERK NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEN COMPLETELY SHUTOFF (AKA NO POWER AT ALL!). WE HAVE SPENT A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS SINCE SPRING OF 2013 TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE. WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH OUR DEALER TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROBLEM...FIGURED OUT IT WAS ELECTRICAL (POSSIBLY WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARE USED...)BUT THAT WAS ABOUT AS FAR AS WE GOT. SOME OF THE THINGS THEY FOUND AND/OR FIXED OR REPLACED ARE AS FOLLOWS: WIRING THAT WAS FRAYED, RE-GROUND NUMEROUS WIRES, REPLACED A HANDFUL OF SENSORS, RESEALED CONNECTIONS BETWEEN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND MAIN MODULE (AS WELL AS RESEALED THE BOXES THEMSELVES SINCE WATER WAS FOUND IN THEM), REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL MODULE ($2K), AND REPLACED ENTIRE ELECTRICAL BOX(WHICH INCLUDED HAVING TO RE-WIRE)...FOUND A USED ONE SINCE BRAND NEW WOULD HAVE BEEN $1200! . I HAVE RECENTLY SEEN THAT THERE WAS A PETITION TO THE GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE (AND HOPEFULLY RECALL) VEHICLES THAT HAVE SITUATIONS SIMILAR TO WHAT I HAVE DESCRIBED ABOVE BUT THEY REFERENCE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED 2007 AND FORWARD BUT OUR 2006 IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES!! SINCE IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER LAST (LESS THAN A

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT I TRIED TO USE MY BRIGHTS, BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD KEEP COMING ON INSTEAD. WHEN THE BRIGHTS DID COME ON THEN THEY WOULDN'T TURN OFF. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN I USE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THAT THE RIGHT SIGNAL WOULD COME ON AND THE TWO SIGNALS WOULD FLICKER BACK AND FORTH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.

1996 DODGE DURANGO. I HAVE 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED 5.7 LITER HEMI - I BOUGHT USED CAR SALESMAN IT IN DECEMBER 2012. IN FEBRUARY OF 214 WE STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AFTER READING SEVERAL DIFFERENT INTERNET FORUMS I DISCOVERED THE ENGINE FAILURE WITH MY DODGE DURANGO WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. LIKE OTHERS I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO OUR MECHANIC'S BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. WE ALWAYS GOT OIL CHANGES AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE AT OUR MECHANIC'S BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD KNOW THE CAR BEST AND BE ABLE TO INFORM US OF ANY IMPORTANT RECALLS OR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. I ASKED HIM ABOUT THE PROBLEM, HE IN TURNED TOLD ME THAT HE KNEW ABOUT THE DODGE DURANGO ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEM. HE ALSO SAID DODGE KNOWS ABOUT IT, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AT ANY TIME. IT IS A SAME THAT DODGE IS PULLING THE SAME THING AS GENERAL MOTORS HAS DONE. PLEAASE LETS FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET KILLED. SO I AM HERE WITH MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO PARKED IN MY DRIVE JUST WAITING FOR RECALL. IT IS GETTING CLOSER BECAUSE YESTERDAY THEY JUST RECALLED THE 2005,2006,2007 JEEP BECAUSE CHRYSLER SAID ON TUESDAY THAT IT WAS RECALLING AN UNDISCLOSED NUMBER OF OLDER JEEP S.U.V.S TO CORRECT AN IGNITION-RELATED STALLING PROBLEM SIMILAR TO THE DEADLY FLAW THAT HAS CONSUMED GENERAL MOTORS THIS YEAR. HOW ALSO OWNS DODGE SO I KNOW THEY KNOW ABOUT THE DODGES PROBLEMS. AT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I HAVE TWO ISSUES WITH MY DURANGO. DURING FUELING THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF CAUSING AN OVERFLOW OF GAS ON THE GROUND, ON MY SHOES, ETC. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. MY MECHANIC THINKS IT IS A SENSOR ISSUE BUT DODGE HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLE TO FIX IT. THE SECOND ISSUE IS I CAN TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE ENGINE AND IGNITION ARE IN THE RUN POSITION, LOCK THE CAR AND TAKE THE KEY WITH ME AND THE ENGINE WILL RUN LIKE THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION. *TR

SPIT BACK WHEN FUELING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACTIVATING THE TURN SIGNALS, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD ACTIVATE INSTEAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL. IN ADDITION, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES HAD MALFUNCTIONED INCREASING THE STOPPING DISTANT NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE VEHICLE WOULD ROLL AWAY. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE BRAKES BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN WE UNLOCK/LOCK THE DOORS WE CAN HEAR A CLICKING NOISE UNDER THE TRUCK. SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING OR TAKING A TIGHT TURN I CAN FEEL THE 4X4 KICK IN AND THE TIRES LOCK UP. SOMETIMES THE 4X4 DASH INDICATOR WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY AND SOMETIMES THE RED NEUTRAL LIGHT INDICATOR BY THE 4X4 SWITCH COMES ON. USUALLY SHUTTING THE TRUCK OFF AND ON AGAIN MAKES THAT GO AWAY. *JS

POWER WINDOWS: APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW SLIPPED DOWN AND WOULD NOT COME UP. WE WERE TOLD BY DODGE THAT IT WOULD BE @ $500.00 FIX (POWER WINDOW MOTOR/LABOR). WE MANAGED TO GET GLASS UP AND LEFT IT ALONE. NOT LONG AFTER THIS, MY DRIVER WINDOW WAS BROKEN BY A ROCK AND REPLACED BY SAFELITE, JUST THE GLASS. RECENTLY, THE DRIVER POWER WINDOW STARTED ACTING UP, FELL DOWN IN DOOR AND BROKE. WHEN GLASS WAS REPLACED 2ND TIME, SAFELITE TOLD US THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: DODGE VEHICLES CAN ONLY BE REPLACED WITH DODGE GLASS AND THAT UP UNTIL @ 2 YEARS AGO, THE 2 BRACKETS HOLDING THE GLASS TO THE MOVABLE POWER ARM WAS A METAL BRACKET. THIS METAL BRACKET HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED WITH A TYPE OF PLASTIC BRACKET ATTACHING TO MOVABLE POWER ARM. HEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM: OVER TIME, THE METAL BRACKETS RUST FROM MOISTURE (RAIN) LOSING ALL ADHESIVE IN IT THAT HOLDS GLASS IN PLACE. ONCE ADHESIVE IS GONE, THE GLASS COMES OUT OF BRACKET AND DROPS INTO DOOR OR CAN FALL OUT. EVEN IF GLASS DOES NOT BREAK, THERE IS NOT AN ADHESIVE AVAILABLE THAT ONE CAN TRY TO ADHERE TO GROOVE IN BRACKET TO SET GLASS IN. THEREFORE, THE CONSUMER IS FORCED TO PURCHASE A NEW GLASS THAT HAS NEW PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT ATTACH TO MOVABLE POWER ARM AND MAY BE ROOKED INTO PURCHASING NEW ARM/MOTOR. NOW WE KNOW THAT PASSENGER WINDOW PROBLEM IS LACK OF BRACKET ADHESIVE, ARM/MOTOR WORK FINE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, OUR 2003 RAM 1500 PICK-UP IS HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES WITH BOTH FRONT WINDOWS! REAR WINDOWS ON BOT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE REAR TIRES WOULD LOCK INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT COMES ON. THE TRANSFER CASE ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES WHEN THE INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN ITS NOT RUNNING. 4WD TURNS ON AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING AND LOCKS UP THE WHEELS. WHEN THE DASH LIGHT TURNS ON THE 4WD DASH SWITCH DOESN'T WORK. I WAS TOLD ENCODER MOTOR OR SERVO MOTOR OR FRONT CONTROL MODULE. SOUNDS LIKE IT HAPPENS A LOT AND ITS A WIRING PROBLEM. ITS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR OVER 2 YEARS JUST LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT ANSWER. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I FILLED UP A NEWLY PURCHASED USED DODGE DURANGO GAS EXPLODED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK SPLASHING ONTO MY HAND AND INTO MY FACE. I HAD TO DASH INTO THE RESTROOM AND FLUSH GAS OUT OF MY EYES. *TR

AT RANDOM TIMES, INCLUDING WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE TRANSFER CASE ON MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO AWD WILL ENGAGE THE 4WD. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN YOU INSERT THE KEY AND BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE. IT ALSO MAKES THE CLICKING SOUND AS IF IT IS ENGAGING WHEN YOU UNLOCK THE DOORS (POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM?) IT CAN ALSO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING WHILE TURNING A CORNER, SUCH AS THE SHARP CORNERS IN A DRIVE-THRU. THE EFFECT IS SUCH THAT ONE WHEEL LOCKS UP AS IF ONE FRONT WHEEL HAS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. WHEN GOING STRAIGHT THERE IS NO ISSUE. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND FORUMS WHERE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT IS RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT, AND DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AT THE DEALERSHIP. OFTEN THEIR RESPONSE IS TO SIMPLY REPLACE ONE OR MORE OF THE THREE MAIN COMPONENTS WITHOUT VERIFYING THAT IS THE ISSUE. THIS CAN BE QUITE EXPENSIVE FOR THE OWNER AND FRUSTRATING AFTER SPENDING LARGE SUMS OF MONEY AND THE ISSUE REMAINS UNSOLVED. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER MIGHT HAVE THIS ISSUE IN A DRIVE-THRU, AND TO OVERCOME THE LACK OF MOVEMENT AFTER PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THEY MAY REV THE ENGINE. THIS MIGHT OVERCOMPENSATE AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO DART FORWARD INTO ANOTHER CAR, OR EVEN INTO THE BUILDING AS THE WHEELS ARE TURNED TO GO AROUND THE CORNER. IF THE 4WD DISENGAGES AT THE REVVING OF THE ENGINE, THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY ACCELERATE INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, PEDESTRIAN

I BOUGHT MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO USED WITH 119,000 MILES IN NOVEMBER 2013. EVERY TIME I FILL UP, THE GAS OVERFLOWS. I ALWAYS FILL-UP WHEN STOPPING FOR GAS BECAUSE I DRIVE AN HOUR, ONE WAY, INTO TOWN AND HAVE TO GET GAS OFTEN. REGARDLESS OF HOW I PUMP GAS IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. I HAVE TRIED PUMPING FAST, PUMPING SLOW, AND PUTTING THE NOZZLE ALL THE WAY IN. I HAVE A TWO YEAR DAUGHTER AND I AM CONCERNED THIS OVERFLOW MAY IGNITE A FIRE. *TR

WHEN I FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS IT THE PUMP KICKED OFF BUT FUEL CAME SPILLING OUT FROM THE TANK. THE FUEL SPILLED OVER ME, THE CAR AND THE GROUND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE TIME THING BUT IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, EVEN WHEN I HAVE NOT FILLED THE TANK COMPLETELY. THIS HAS NOW CAUSED SERIOUS RUST AROUND MY TANK AND THROUGH THE CORNER PANEL. IT HAS NOW RUSTED THROUGH COMPLETELY. I AM AFRAID OF THE SAFETY OF THE TANK AND FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS. NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF LOST GAS. *TR

FUEL OVER FLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH, SHE ATTEMPTED TO AVOID A COLLISION AND FLIPPED ONTO THE GUARD RAIL. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS AND SCRAPES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN APRIL OF 2012 AND THE FUEL OVERFLOW WAS NOTICED IMMEDIATELY UPON PURCHASE. SELLER INFORMED THAT IT WAS A NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH ALL DURANGO VEHICLES AND THERE WAS NO FIX. IN THE MEANTIME, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AT EACH REFILL AND HAS CAUSED ME TO IMMEDIATELY WASH DOWN THE AREA (WHILE FUELING) TO PREVENT FIRE AND ADDITIONAL CORROSION. *TR

FILLING UP WITH GAS THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND A FEW SECONDS LATER GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK. *TR

VEHICLE SPOTS HAS EVERYWHERE WHEN PUTTING GAS IN. CAN NOT PUT OVER 3/4 TANK IN OR A LEAST A GALLON IS COMING BACK ON YOUR FEET & GROUND. THE PAINT IS ALSO RUSTING UNDER THE GAS CAP NOW DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS. THE 2005. WAS RECALLED DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. THIS YEAR ALSO SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED! *TR

GAS OVERFLOWS AFTER FUEL BUMP STOPS DURING EVERY FILL UP. *TR

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF THEN FUEL SPEWS OUT THE FILLER NECK OF THE VEHICLE THIS HAS CAUSED THE PAINT TO COME OFF AND A HOLE TO RUST IN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE JUST UNDER THE FUEL CAP. *TR

PROBLEM WHEN REFILLING THE GAS TANK. WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILL PORT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AT THE GAS STATION BUT IT HAS HAPPENED CONSECUTIVE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. PROBABLY SPRAYS OUT 8 OR 12 OUNCES. *TR
