POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

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

POWER TRAIN
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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?

ENGINE
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
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 CARE OF. IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THERE IS A PROBLEM, HAS SENT A LETTER FOR INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOT ACTUALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM 5 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF THE LETTER!!!! *TR
