2006 Dodge Durango complaints

EVERY TIME WE FILL UP, THE GAS SPILLS OUT. BY THE TIME THE NOZZLE CLICKS, IT'S TOO LATE AND THE FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE TANK. MY DAUGHTER WAS NEAR ME WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME! I'VE USED VARIOUS GAS STATIONS, BUT IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. IT HAS TO BE THE INLET CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK. IT IS NOT USER ERROR. NOW I HAVE TO SIT THERE FOREVER AND PUMP SLOW, OR JUST GO WITH HALF A TANK, AND IN COLORADO, IT'S NOT SAFE TO DO THAT IF WE BREAK DOWN IN THE COLD AND SNOW. NO ONE FILLS THE TANK EXCEPT ME DUE TO OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. I CALLED DODGE YEARS AGO AND THEY SAID IT WOULD FALL ON ME TO PAY FOR THEIR PROBLEM! NOW, IT'S JUST GETTING ANNOYING THAT THIS STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. *TR

THE SHUT OFF VALVE HAS NOT WORKED CORRECTLY FOR OVER THE PAST YEAR. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK GAS IS SPIT BACK ON THE CAR AND DRIVEWAY SERVICE. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF I PAUSE FOR A PERIOD DURING FILLING THE TANK TO LET PRESSURE RELEASE. MY DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS, HAD TO BELIEVE WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I WOULD LIKE DODGE TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. HELP....... *TR

THIS VEHICLE DIES RANDOMLY GOING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN IT IS WET OUT IT IS WORSE. WITH NO WARNING THE VEHICLE JUST STALLS. DURING THIS YOU LOSS ALL CONTROLS OF THE VEHICLE. BUT YOU CAN TURN IT OVER AND IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES AND THERE DURANGO'S ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I HAVE HAD IT TO A DODGE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT ARE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE IN MY VEHICLE! *TR

WHEN FUELING FUEL SPITS BACK OUT FUEL FILL AFTER FILL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE AND ON THE GROUND. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SPILLS GAS EVERYTIME I FILL IT COMPLETELY UP. I INSERT THE FUEL NOZZLE FROM THE GAS PUMP PUT IT ON HALF FILL AND LET THE FUEL FLOW UNTIL IT SHUTS OFF AT THE HANDLE ABOUT 2 SECONDS LATER FUEL COMES SQUIRTING OUT OF THE DURANGOS GAS RECEPTACLE! IT DOES THIS EVERYTIME YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP, AND HAS DONE IT SINCE 2008. DODGE NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS!!!! *TR

UNFORTUNATELY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DURANGO FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF PURCHASE IN 2006. THE CURRENT ISSUE AND IS VERY SCARY WHILE DRIVING IS THE 4 LO LIGHT WILL QUICKLY FLASH RAPIDLY FOR SEVERAL FLASHES AND THEN STOPS. THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND SEEMS TO BECOME ENGAGED IN 4 LO ALL ON ITS OWN. IT ALSO MAKES A NOISE WHEN UNLOCKING VEHICLE THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING UNDER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. IT HAS BE DOING THIS MORE FREQUENTLY. CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THERE IS NO WARNING OR CONTROL. ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS THE STEERING IS AFFECTED. IN A PARKING LOT RECENTLY I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A SHARP LEFT TURN AND THE VEHICLE JUST LOCKED UP COMPLETELY AND EVEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAVE HAD MANY TIMES TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR "INSTRUMENT PANEL" RECALLS. IT REALLY SEEMS THAT THIS CAR HAS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS AS THIS AGAIN SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE AND POTENTIALLY COULD BE FATAL IF DRIVING AND HAVING COMPLETE LOSE OF CONTROL. I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND ALSO NOTED THAT MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR DODGE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE REPEATED RECALLS AND REPAIRS THAT DO NOT SEEM TO HELP THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND HOPE THAT A RECALL WILL BE DONE BEFORE THERE ARE INCREASED ACCIDENTS OR WORSE DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, WHEN TANK IS FULL, GAS WILL SPILL OUT FILLER NECK. THE SPILLED GAS SPLASHES EVERYWHERE, AND HAS BEEN ON THE BODY BELOW THE FILLER NECK ENOUGH TIMES THAT IT HAS CAUSED THE PAINT TO LIFT, AND A RUST HOLE TO FORM IN THE FENDER. NO OTHER RUST ON VEHICLE. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BROKEN ON PASSENGER SIDE, WITH HEAT SHIELD DETACHED. DEALER REPORTS THAT DRIVERS SIDE ARE DETERIORATED AND MAY FAIL IN THE NEAR FUTURE. RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT OF ALL BOLTS/STUDS THAT WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK OFF DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE MATERIAL USED BY CHRYSLER. WILL REQUIRE DRILLING OUT BOLTS FROM HEADS AT A MINIMUM COST OF OVER $1400 PER THE EXPERIENCE OF THE DEALER. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY CONSIDER THIS NORMAL WEAR... EVEN WHEN THE OWNER IS REQUIRED TO DRILL THE BOLTS OUT. THIS IS A FAILURE IN THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN OF A VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT CREATES DANGERS DUE TO EXTREME EXHAUST TEMPERATURE, EXHAUST GASES AND THE POTENTIAL FAILURE OF AN ENGINE ... ALL DUE TO THE DETERIORATION OF INEXPENSIVE BOLTS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF CUTTING CORNERS TO SAVE A DOLLAR WHILE COSTING THE OWNERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM EXIST ON FORUMS AND DISCUSSION BOARDS BUT THE MANUFACTURER IGNORES THE DEFECT AND DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

DURING REFUELING. ONCE THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS AND THE TANK IS FULL A GREAT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK. DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION IS USED. HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND IS A DEFINITE FIRE RISK. MULTIPLE SEARCHES ONLINE DEMONSTRATE HUNDREDS OF RESULTS AND VIDEOS ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE CONNECTOR ROD HAD FAILED. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK , IF THE FUEL NOZZLE IS ALLOWED TO AUTO SHUT OFF THE TANK WILL SPEW PRESSURIZED FUEL BACK OUT OF TE FILLER NECK ALL OVER THE PUMP, GROUND AND VEHICLE. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BY ITSELF INTO 4WD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, AND WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING UNATTENDED, WITH THE IGNITION OFF. THE TRANSFER CASE MAKES AN AUDIBLE NOISE, THEN THE WHEELS BECOME VERY HARD TO TURN WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, THEN FUEL POURS OUT OF THE FILLER. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY GAS STATION, AND ALMOST EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE TANK. THIS AN AN EXTREME HAZARD AND A VERY COSTLY INCONVENIENCE. EVERY TIME WE FILL UP, GAS IS WASTED, THE CAR BECOMES A DANGEROUS AND HORRIBLY SMELLING HAZARD. DODGE RECALLED THE 2005 DURANGO FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT HAS YET TO DO THE SAME FOR THE FOLLOWING MODEL YEAR! *TR

YOU CAN NOT FILL THE GAS TANK OVER 3/4 FULL AS IT WILL RESULT IN A MASSIVE FUEL SPILLAGE OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE BACKWASH OUT OF THE TANK WILL COVER YOU AND THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND YOU WITH FUEL. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT KIND OF FUEL STATION IS FILLING IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. IF THERE WAS ANY KIND OF SPARK A LARGE FIRE WOULD OCCUR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL SPEWED FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING WOULD FLASH INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WHEN THE RPM READING INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME HESITANT UPON ACCELERATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS AN INNUMERABLE AMOUNT OF ISSUES LIKE A CRACKED PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FROM A BAD BOLT AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE THE RADIO AND OVERHEAD LIGHT ONLY WORK WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT - BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THIS TRANSMISSION. THIS MORNING I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO LEAVE THE DRIVEWAY AND AS I SHIFTED TO GO INTO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. IT WOULDN'T GO INTO DRIVE, REVERSE OR EVEN NEUTRAL. THE WHEELS LOCKED UP COMPLETELY LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. THE CAR SAT IN THE ROAD UNTIL I COULD GET A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO A CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. LAST WEEK I HAD TAKEN IT TO A DIFFERENT CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP TO CHECK A TRANSMISSION CODE THAT CAME UP UNDER A GENERAL P-007 CODE WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NO TRANSMISSION CODES WERE PRESENT IN THE BIG COMPUTER IN THE SHOP...THE GUY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. THIS MORNING THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON AT ALL. SINCE WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL HAVE ACTED A LITTLE FLAKY BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS, VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WITHOUT ANY WARNING, PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM DRIVING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A BANGING NOISE AS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE AND A ROD HAD BEEN THROWN. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

THE 4WD SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE 4WD WILL SWITCH ON AND OFF AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT MANUALLY BEING CHANGED. IT HAS A VERY LOUD SHIFTING SOUND THAT I NOTICE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON AND OFF. THE 4WD WILL TURN ON AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND TAKING TURNS IT WILL COME ON AND MAKE A VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE. I HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND IS HARD TO DRIVE DURING MY HOME HEALTH JOB. WHEN IT GETS INTO 4HI OR 4LO I AM STUCK IN SOME PLACES BECAUSE IT WILL NOT TURN PROPERLY. I CAN NOT GET IT TO SWITCH OUT OF 4WD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DODGE DEALERS AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS BECOME A VERY FRUSTRATING PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD OVERFLOW FROM THE FUEL TANK WHEN REFUELING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL REMEDY PERFORMED AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT READILY AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS AT THE GAS STATION IF FILLED COMPLETELY. THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING. I HAVE TRIED ADJUSTING THE WAY I HOLD THE GASOLINE NOZZLE, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD! IT IS HARD TO KEEP IF FROM HAPPENING. WHEN IT HAPPENS, GASOLINE FLIES OUT EVERYWHERE, GETTING ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND MYSELF. IT IS SCARY. THIS NEEDS A RECALL! IN ADDITION, THE BODY UNDERNEATH OF THE FUEL TANK HAS RUSTED AS THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

THE FUEL FILLER VALVE IS FAILING AND ALLOWS THE FUEL TO SPILL OUT OF THE GAS TANK EVEN WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT WAS RECALLED FOR 2005 WHY NOT 2006?

MY VEHICLE STALLS WITH NO NOTICE. NO RPM LOSS. NO WARNING LIGHTS. JUST STALLS. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO MY DRIVE WAY. THE NEXT TIME WHILE SLOWING FROM 35 MPH TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET. THE LAST 2 TIMES I HAVE BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC HAVING IT STALL WHEN MERGING INTO THE TURN LANE. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. NOT SURE WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT STEPPED UP AND ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN FUELING UP GASOLINE WILL SHOOT OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND & VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE RUST STARTING. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM TOO SO WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL? I WOULD THINK THE EPA WOULD MAKE DODGE MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL. LUCKILY WHEN I HAD THE VEHICLE IN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX; THE DEALER DID SAY HE COULD ORDER THE PART TO FIX THAT. IT WOULD BE COVERED AT NO COST TO ME. THEN WHY WASN'T IT RECALLED IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? INTERESTING?! I AM THINKING THAT I MAY NEVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN. I AM SURE THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TOO. PLEASE HELP! *TR

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE AIR BAG LIGHTS WILL COME ON & OFF WHILE DRIVING. (BOTH THE PASSENGER & DRIVER SIDES LIGHTS SEEMED TO ALTERNATE.) THIS TIME ALSO THE 4 WHEEL LOCK LIGHT BLINKED ON & OFF DURING THE 50 MILE TRIP GOING 70 MPH. WHEN I TURNED ON MY WIPERS THERE WAS A CHIME/DING. ONCE WHEN I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW THE WIPERS CAME ONE. ANOTHER TRIP TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ACTING UP & I TURNED ON MY BLINKER TO CHANGE LANES THE WIPERS CAME ON. I ALSO JUST REALIZED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER UNLOCK WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I HAVE TO MANUALLY DO IT NOW. ALSO IT USED TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THE DOORS WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND THAT HAS BEEN ACTING UP PERIODICALLY. THE ICING ON THE CAKE WAS YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED, I JUST TOOK IT TO BRIGGS DODGE IN TOPEKA, KS AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THESE ISSUES AND SHOW NOTHING WHEN THEY HOOKED IT UP. THEY TOLD ME THAT DODGE HAS A "STAR CASE" ON FILE AND THAT STATES THAT DRIVERS ARE CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS TO OCCUR. (I TOTALLY DISAGREE& THINK THIS IS A COP OUT) THEY ARE TELLING ME I GENERATE TOO MUCH STATIC ELECTRICITY! I FIND THIS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE. I AM VERY DISCOURAGED AND FRUSTRATED. I GUESS WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT FROM ONE OF THESE FAILING, THEN MAYBE THEY WILL OWN UP TO THE PROBLEMS AND FIX THEM. *TR

A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT IS WHEN IT STARTED SPITTING OUT GAS. IT DOE IT WHEN I TRY TO FILL IT UP. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR TWO YEARS AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO FILL IT UP BECAUSE EVERY TIME I DO IT SPITS BACK OUT ON ME TO WHERE IT GET ON MY CLOTHES. I HAVE A TODDLER AND CAN'T RISK HER INHALING THE FUMES SO I CANT FILL THE TRUCK UP CAUSING THE TRUCK EAT THE GAS QUICKER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A NEIGHBOR STREET, WHILE THERE WAS RAINFALL. HIT A PUDDLE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND IT RAINS ALOT DURING THE SUMMER. ADVISED CARMAX IN MIAMI. THEY SAID THIS IS BECAUSE THE SERPENTINE BELT IS GETTING WET. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD GET HURT. THEY NEED TO DO SOME TYPE OF ADJUSTMENT TO THESE VEHICLES INORDER FOR WATER NOT TO INTERFERE WITH THE SAFETY OF PEDESTRIANS, MOTORISTS AND OCCUPANTS. THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

I HAVE AN 06 DURANGO WITH OUT THE CHIP KEY, I STICK MY KEY INTO THE IGNITION TO START IT BUT IT WON'T TURN AS IF IT'S THE WRONG KEY OR THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK IS ENABLED. IT HAPPENED MORE TWICE A DAY OVER THE LAST WEEK IT HAPPENS AFTER EVERY THIRD TIME I TURN ON MY TRUCK BUT WITH A LITTLE GIGGLING OF THE KEY AND STEERING WHEEL IT WENT. THEN LAST NIGHT AT 6:30AM I STOP BY MOMS HOUSE TO GET ME A COFFEE ON MY WAY HOME.. GET BACK TO MY TRUCK AND THE KEY JUST WOULDN'T TURN MY IGNITION... NOTHING WORKED, GIGGLE THE KEY OR REEFING ON THE STEERING WHEEL... FINALLY AFTER A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR OF TRYING I FINALLY MANAGED TO TURN THE IGNITION AFTER JAMMING THE KEY IN THERE PRETTY HARD A FEW TIMES... ANYWAYS I MANAGED TO GET HOME SINCE I WAS STILL BOUT HALF HOUR AWAY AT THE TIME.. *TR

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK TO CAPACITY, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AND GAS SPEWS FROM THE VEHICLE OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. I WOULD ESTIMATE MAYBE 1/2 TO 1 GALLON OF GAS IS INVOLVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, SHERWOOD, OF SALISBURY, MD IN 2011 TO HAVE PROBLEM ADDRESSED. WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM TO BE FIXED. RECEIVED LETTER DATED 2/1/2013 FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC STATING THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO LIFETIME COVERAGE FOR MY VEHICLE. IT GOES ON TO STATE THAT "IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS CONDITION NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, TO SIMPLY CONTACT YOUR DEALER TO HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED. TOOK CAR TO SHERWOOD DEALERSHIP AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. WAS TOLD IN JUNE 2013 THAT THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD CALL IN A FEW MONTHS TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE ASSISTANCE CENTER AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT ON 6/4/2013. DECIDED TO FILE A GRIEVANCE HERE WITH THE NHTSA AS THIS IS AN EPA ISSUE AND SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE GASOLINE SPILLAGE. AS A RESULT OF THE GASOLINE SPILLAGE, THE PAINT UNDER THE FUEL FILLING AREA OF THE VEHICLE HAS BUBBLED AND HAS NOW RUSTED IN THAT AREA. HAVE REQUESTED THAT THIS PROBLEM ALSO BE TAKEN CARE OF AS IT IS A DIRECT RESULT OF A MALFUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WOULD MAKE THE REPAIR(WHENEVER THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE) BUT, WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE RUST ISSUE. WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FEEDBACK AS TO HOW TO GET THIS TAKEN CAR

THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS/ WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON, AND THE ODOMETER AND RPM GAUGES BOUNCE FROM ZERO TO LIKE 5000 RPM WHILE DRIVING. THE AC AND RADIO AND DVD AND NAVIGATION ALL SHUT OFF AND ON ALSO WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO CROWN MOTORS ON JUNE 21 AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TESTS RAN AND NOTHING CAME UP ALL WAS FINE. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IN WHEN IT DID IT AND TO LEAVE IT RUN WHEN I GO INSIDE TO LET THEM KNOW. I TOOK BACK DOWN THERE ON JUNE 24 AS IT WAS DOING IT ALL AGAIN. THEY IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND STATED YOU DEFINITELY HAVE SOMETHING WRONG. THEY TOLD AFTER AN HOUR THAT THEY COULD ONLY GET THE READING UP TO THE ECM AND ANYTHING AFTER THAT IT IS NOT SHOWING UP THAT IT IS DEAD. THEY CALLED THE LEAD ENGINEER AT DODGE TO TRY AND FIND A SOLUTION. I TALKED TO THEM ON JUNE 25 AND STILL NO ANSWER. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO PUT $10 IN GAS AND WAS GOING TO CHARGE THAT TO ME AS THEY LOST THE SIGNAL TO DIAGNOSTIC SUE TO TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THEY DROVE AROUND FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES TO TRY AND REESTABLISH THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT HAPPENED. I CALLED THEM TODAY JUNE 27,2013 AND TOLD I COULD COME AND PICK UP THE VEHICLE AS THEY CAN NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO DO THE PROBLEMS AGAIN TO REESTABLISH THE CONNECTIONS. THEY ALSO SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO JUST BRING IT BACK OVER SO THEY CAN REESTABLISH THE CONNECTION FOR THE PROBLEMS. I KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES. THEY DEALER TOLD THEY WERE ALL CLOSED OUT AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT O

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING ALSO ILLUMINATED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNOCCUPIED. THE FUEL AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE READING BEGAN FLUCTUATING, THE HORN BEGAN TO SOUND INDEPENDENTLY AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN MODULE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PART. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. *TR

DUE TO THE FAULTY FUEL CHECK VALVE MY VEHICLE HAS A LINE OF RUST STRAIGHT DOWN FROM THE GAS CAP. DODGE REPAIRED THE CHECK VALVE BUT WILL NOT COVER ANY BODY WORK DUE TO THE MILEAGE/DATE WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. WITH DODGE BEING AT FAULT FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT THEY SHOULD ALSO COVER THE DAMAGE CAUSED TO MY VEHICLE FROM THE EQUIPMENT. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BUT HAVE BEEN TURNED DOWN FOR A RESOLUTION. PLEASE HELP! *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS DURING FILL UP. SPILLING TONS OF GAS. BECAUSE OF THE OVERFLOW THERE IS A LOT OF RUST FORMING ON BODY WERE GAS TANK IS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BODY SHOP TO SEE ABOUT GETTING THE RUST FIXED BUT SAID WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THAT WHOLE AREA BECAUSE RUST ATE THROUGH. TO BE HONEST I THOUGHT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG WHEN FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION OR SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE PUMP FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING ON INTERNET. I JUST SPOKE TO DODGE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A NEW PROBLEM THAT DODGE JUST EXTENDED THE WARRENTY ON SO WE CAN GET THE FUEL PART FIXED. MY PROBLEM IS THAT WE ALMOST HAVE THIS PAID FOR AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP FOR A FEW MORE YEARS, HAS LOW MILES, BUT THE RUST AROUND GAS TANK IS BAD. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME HELP FROM DODGE ON GETTING THIS FIXED SINCE IT WAS THEIR FAULT. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY VEHICLE AT THE GAS STATION, THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW OR SPIT OUT OF THE TANK INSTEAD OF STOPPING NORMALLY WHEN THE TANK NEARS FULL LEVEL. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY I AM REFUELING. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE ON THE 05 MODELS BUT THERE STILL IS NOT ONE FOR THE 06 EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE THIS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS. *TR

UPON FILLING FUEL TANK GAS WILL EMIT FROM THE FILLING AREA. HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS NO MATTER THE FILLING SPEED. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 MODEL BUT WHY NOT THE 2006? *TR

MY VEHICLE SAYS SVC 4WD THEN GOES INTO 4LO & 4LOCK WITHOUT ME TOUCHING IT. IT LOCKS UP & SWITCHES ON ITS OWN WHILE IM DRIVING. SWITCHES INTO 4WD WHILE IT IS PARKED & THE TRUCK IS OFF. WHEN U USE THE UNLOCK REMOTE IT SWITCHES IT ALSO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS & THE MECHANIC SAYS NO CODES SHOW UP EVEN WHEN THE SVC 4WD LIGHT IS ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER REFUELING, HE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK CONTINUOUSLY. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE; HOWEVER THE PARTS REMAINED UNAVAILABLE FOR THREE MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE AN EXPECTED DATE FOR THE REMEDY PARTS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000...UPDATED 07-10-13 *BF

CONTROLLER THAT TURNS BETWEEN DEFROST, FLOOR, AND FRONT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY A FEW YEARS AGO. IT WAS RAINING, AND A TURNED THE KNOB TO DEFROST....AND NOTHING HAPPENED! THE SWITCH THAT OPENS AND CLOSES THE COMPARTMENTS FROM FACE TO DEFROST HAD BROKEN. THE BLOWER STILL WORKS, BUT ALL COMES OUT ON THE FACE...NO DEFROST OR FLOOR. THERE ARE 1000'S OF THESE COMPLAINTS ONLINE. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME, 2,000 TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC PIECE A MANUFACTURER USED RECYCLED PLASTIC WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO BREAK. NOW IN RAIN, I ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS, USE MC DONALDS NAPKINS TO CONTINUE TO WIPE OFF THE WINDSHIELD SO I CAN SEE TO DRIVE, WHILE IN ROUTE TO MY JOB IN A SUITE. I CAN DEAL WITH THE 2=3 GALLONS OF GAS ON THE GROUND WHILE PUMPING GAS INTO THE FAULTY TANK BY STOPPING AT 50, BUT THIS IS RIDICIOUS!! I REAR-ENDING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. SLIGHT INJURIES, AND A HUGE INSURANCE BILL WHILE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE WHILE PARAELL PARKING TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS NO QUESTION THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. UNFORTUNATELY INSURANCE COMPANIES DO NOT SEE A FAULTY POORLY COMPILED DEFROSTING COMPONENT SWITCH AS PROBABLE CAUSE TO BE COVERED UNDER THE COLLISION POLICY. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY MOTHER. I FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS- WHEN THE TANK IS FULL GAS FLIES OUT OF THE TANK. MY MOTHER HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT. I WAS TRYING TO BE NICE & FILL THE TANK FOR HER. I HEARD THE CLICK ON THE NOZZLE AS I STOOD LEANING AGAINST THE VEHICLE & WHEN I PULLED THE NOZZLE OUT GAS FLEW ALL OVER MY ARM & ATLEAST A FOOT IN THE AIR. OUTRAGEOUS! SHE SAID IT'S HAPPENED TO HER SO SHE JUST PUTS IN $50. *TR

EVERY TIME WE FUEL UP THE DURANGO, NO MATTER HOW SLOW, OR EVEN IF WE ALLOW IT TO "BREATHE"... WHEN IT GETS CLOSE TO FULL IT SHOOTS OUT FUEL..SERIOUSLY SHOOTS IT OUT, LIKE 2 FEET. WE CANT FUEL IT PAST 1/2 WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING. ALSO FUEL LEAKS FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE FUEL FILL TUBE TO THE TANK WHEN EVER WE FUEL AT ALL. I SEE OTHER DURANGOS HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. *TR

INTERIOR LIGHTS NEVER GO OFF AND HAS A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT TAKES SEVEN DAYS TO GET THE PART AND HAVE IT PROGRAMMED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS THREE OTHER RECALLS THAT THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT. I THINK THEY ARE MAKING THIS DIFFICULT SO THAT CUSTOMERS WILL NOT GET THEIR RECALLS DONE. THERE IS ALSO A RECALL ON A SUSPENSION PART THAT COULD CAUSE AN CRASH- WIPERS AND LIGHTS- AND FILLING THE GAS TANK IS A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ........ THE FUEL SPITS BACK OUT AT YOU BEFORE YOUR TANK IS FULL. THESE ARE ALL SAFETY HAZARDS THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH NO COST OR INCONVENIENCE FOR THE OWNER. IF THESE RECALLS ARE NOT REPAIRED THERE IS A REASONABLE CHANCE THAT LIFE THREATENING EVENTS COULD OCCUR. NOT SURE WHY THE DODGE COMPANY ALLOWS THESE DEALERSHIPS TO DO THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMER. I SUGGEST THAT EVERY PERSON WHO HAS HAD PROBLEMS COMPLAIN TO THE COMPANY AS WELL AS THIS SITE ------- MAY BE SOMEONE WILL DO SOMETHING. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOW PROBLEMS. GAS SPEWS OUT EVERYWHERE IF TANK IS FILLED ALL THE WAY UP. *TR

THE VEHICLE, ON COLD START UP EXHIBITED A SURGING IDLE, FROM 500 RPM RANGING UP TO 2000 RPM. THE IDLE FINALLY LEVELED OUT AND SETTLED DOWN. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I NOTED SOME SURGING PRESENT WHILE AT A STEADY SPEED. ONCE, WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHILE IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE IDLE JUMPED UP AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE INTO THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY NO CROSS TRAFFIC WAS PRESENT AND APPLYING THE BRAKES VERY HARD STOPPED THE VEHICLE FROM COMPLETELY RUNNING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PRESENT, NOR HAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER ILLUMINATED ON THIS VEHICLE, (OTHER THAN THE BULB CHECK ON START UP), FOR ANY REASON. AS AN ASE MASTER AUTOMOBILE TECHNICIAN AND A FORMER CHRYSLER FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIAN, I CONNECTED A SCAN TOOL TO THIS VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. AS STATED, THERE WAS NO CEL, SO THERE WERE NO CODES ACTIVE, PENDING OR HISTORICAL. OBSERVATION OF THE LIVE DATA STREAM REVEALED NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WITH ACCESS TO IDENTIFIX, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER INSTANCES OF THE SAME CONCERN WITH 2006 DURANGOS, WITH RECOMMENDATIONS OF REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY DUE TO INTERMITTENT "GLITCHES" IN THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SENDING FALSE READINGS TO THE PCM CAUSING THE IDLE CONTROL MOTOR TO INCREASE THE IDLE SPEED. I CURRENTLY HAVE THIS PART ON ORDER FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. ONCE RECEIVED AND INSTALLED I WILL DETERMINE IF FURTHER ACTION WILL BE REQUIRED. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY STALLING AT LOWER RPM. I HAVE HAD A TUNE UP ON THE VEHICLE TO INCLUDE CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY, NEW PLUGS, PLUG WIRE BOOTS, AIR FILTER AND REPEATED DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS AT LOCAL GARAGE. NO ENGINE CODES ARE BEING REGISTERED. THE LOCAL GARAGE HAS A MECHANIC THAT HAS BEEN A DODGE MECHANIC FOR 15 YEARS. HE COORDINATED W/ THE LOCAL DODGE GARAGE AND RE-FLASHED THE ECM. 2 HOURS OUT OF THE MECHANICS GARAGE, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND CONTINUES TO STALL AND RUN HORRIBLY AT LOW RPM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT JUST DIES GOING DOWN THE ROAD WITH OUT WARNING! THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. IT STARTED AROUND 80000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOSS ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED ASAP. PEOPLE CARRY THERE FAMILY'S IN THESE VEHICLE'S. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH DODGE DURING. DODGE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOME ONE IS KILLED FROM THIS ISSUE. *TR

AT EVERY FUEL FILL UP REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION, THE FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF AND FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 DURANGO WITH SOME RUST BUBBLES BELOW THE GASOLINE FILL UP DOOR. ON RESEARCH OF THIS ISSUE I FOUND 372 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM - SPITTING OUT GASOLINE WHEN BEING FILLED AT A GAS STATION OUT OF 553 TOTAL COMPLAINTS VIA NHTSA. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE A WEEK AND HAVE NOT YET FILLED THE TANK. NOW VERY LEERY OF FILLING THE TANK FOR FEAR OF BEING COVERED WITH GASOLINE, POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT, CAUSING AN EXPLOSION, INJURING/KILLING NEARBY INNOCENT BYSTANDERS, INCLUDING MYSELF. IN THE CASE OF A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SUCH AS THIS, THERE IS LIABILITY AS WITH ANY SAFETY HAZARD. BESIDES THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, THERE ARE VIDEOS ON POPULAR SITES DEMONSTRATING THE GAS SPIT BACK YET THERE ARE NO INVESTIGATIONS REPORTED REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT AND ONLY 2 SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT. IT MAKES ME SICK TO THINK THAT I OR SOME OTHER DURANGO OWNER COULD ACCIDENTALLY CAUSE A MASS FATALITY AT A GAS STATION IF SOME UNSUSPECTING PERSON USES THEIR CELL PHONE OR LIGHTS UP. WHAT ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS? LAST I HEARD GASOLINE SHOWERS ARE VERY TOXIC. WHY IS THERE NO INVESTIGATION ON THIS CONCERN? *TR

WHEN FUELLING AT A GAS STATION, GAS OVERFLOWS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL (WHEN THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF). THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE TANK. GAS OVERFLOWS ONTO SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ONTO PAVEMENT AT GAS STATION. FUEL SPILL HAZARD IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. GAS STATIONS ARE STARTING TO WARN ME THAT I CANNOT CAUSE A FUEL SPILL. DODGE CLAIMS THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. RECALL URGENTLY NEEDED BEFORE MAJOR CATASTROPHE. *TR
