FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT MY DURANGO "USED" FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THE FIRST TIME I FILLED THE TANK UP, GAS WENT EVERYWHERE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS STATION BUT THE TIME AFTER THAT, WHEN I FILLED UP- I DID IT SLOWLY AND IT STILL OVERFILLED AND SPILLED EVERYWHERE. NOW, I CAN'T FILL MY TANK FULL AS I AM AFRAID OF A FIRE AND ALSO DON'T LIKE WASTING MONEY ON EXPENSIVE GAS THAT ISN'T GOING INTO MY TANK SO I ONLY FILL IT ABOUT HALF FULL EVERY TIME. THIS IS A HEADACHE NO MATTER HOW YOU PUT IT. HOWEVER, I HAVE READ AND SEEN MANY REVIEWS OF MANY OTHER 2006 DURANGOS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WONDERING IF THERE'S A RECALL? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE:BODY, WHEELS
FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS DURING FILL UP.I JUST RECEIVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ON 2/01/2013. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW ON MARCH OF 2006. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTS BUT NOTICE THE PROBLEM AND BLAME THE GAS STATION FOR THEIR PUMP NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME A LOT OF PROBLEM BECAUSE OF GASOLINE SHOOTING OUT OF A TANK TO SPILL ALL OVER ME (LOSS OF CLOTHES,SHOES AND RASH ON MY ARM, HAND,FOOT AND LEGS).NOW MY CAR WHERE THE FUEL TANKS IS LOCATED CAUSED THE PAINT TO RUST ($600 TO FIX) AND MY BUMPER TO DISCOLORED AND BECAUSE I ROTATE MY TIRES MOST OF MY LOG NUTS($200) HAS TO BE REPLACED.I CANNOT QUANTIFY HOW MUCH GASOLINE I LOSS DURING THAT PERIOD.I HAVE CALLED THEM REGARDING COMPENSATION FOR THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY DID BUT NOT COMPENSATE ME. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL THE PUMPS DO NOT SHUT OFF WHEN IT IS FULL AND THE GASOLINE SPILLS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME I WAS INSIDE OF THE GAS STATION WHEN IT HAPPENED AND IT SHOT OUT EVERYWHERE AND SOAKED A 3-4 FOOT RADIUS FROM THE GAS TANK. THIS LAST TIME I FILLED UP IT SPRAYED A FINE MIST EVERYWHERE AND IT SPILLED ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK A LOT OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF TOP OF FILLER NECK AND SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT SPRAYS OUT A FEW FEET AWAY AND CAN GET ALL OVER YOU. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED UP. *TR THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 MODEL BUT NOT ONE FOR THE 2006 MODEL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EACH TIME I FUEL, ONCE THE TANK IS FULL, IT SPEWS/GURGLES A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IT HAPPENS AT EVERY KIND OF PUMP, AND IT HAPPENS WHETHER I USE THE AUTO SHUT OFF OR IF I CONTROL THE FLOW AND SLOW IT TO A TRICKLE. IT STILL HAPPENS ONCE THE TANK GETS CLOSE TO FULL. EACH TIME I FUEL, I SPILL AT LEAST 1-3 QUARTS OF FUEL ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS VERY HARMFUL TO THE ENVIORNMENT, A WASTE OF MY MONEY, AND A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED MANY NEW AND OLD VEHICLES, AND NEVER IN MY LIFE, HAVE I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM FUELING MY CAR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FROM DODGE, BECAUSE THEY RECALLED THE 2005 DURANGO FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. SO WHY FIX THE 2005'S AND NOT THE 2006???? *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE FUEL SPLASHES AND POURS OUT ALL OVER ME AND THE VEHICLE. THE PAINT ON THE VEHICLE THAT IS EXPOSED TO THE FUEL HAS BEGUN TO BUBBLE AND RUST. *TR IF THE INCONVENIENCE AND HAZARD OF THE SPILL ISN'T ENOUGH THE LOSS OF FUEL AT TODAY'S HIGH PRICES IS AN INJUSTICE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. PLEASE HELP US! WE PAID A LOT FOR OUR VEHICLE AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP! DODGE SHOULD CARE MORE ABOUT IT CUSTOMERS! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL, THE DODGE DURANGO SPITS GASOLINE OUT AND SPILLS IT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND ANYONE WHO HAPPENS TO BE NEAR THE PUMP. THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM DAY ONE OF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE AND HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED. DRENCHING A MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATOR IN GASOLINE EVERY TIME THEY FILL THE GAS TANK IS CAUSTIC TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND DANGEROUS TO THOSE BREATHING THE FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME THAT I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER ME. THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM UNTIL THE VEHICLE HIT 60,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME THAT I TRY TO FILL THE TANK UP. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THAT I PUT INTO THE TANK. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY A QUART OR MORE OF GAS THAT SPRAYS EVERYWHERE. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF REMEDIATION IS AVAILABLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIMITING GASOLINE EMISSIONS, SO I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT GASOLINE SPRAYING ALL OVER THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS AS WELL AS OVER THE GROUND IS A HAZARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND SEE THAT MORE THAT JUST THE 2005 IS AFFECTED. I THINK THAT THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD HAVE TO CHECK EACH DURANGO FROM 2005 UNTIL WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. IF ANY ARE AFFECTED, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THOSE THAT ARE A PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, FUEL SPEWED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 135,931. UPDATED 3/19/13 *CN THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE AFFECTED PARTS HAD AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FILLER NECK WAS REPLACED.

FILL THE GAS TANK AND WHEN STOPPED FILLING A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS BACKFLOWS OUT OF TANK ONTO THE GROUND AND PERSON PUMPING GAS! THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD BOTH FOR THE PERSON AND THE ENVIRONMENT. TOOK TO DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS HAS HAPPENED A LOT AND ONLY WAY TO FIX IS TO REPLACE GAS TANK WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. CALLED DODGE AND THEY REFUSE TO COOPERATE SAYING THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MUST BE THE WAY I PUMP GAS! THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERYTIME I FILL GAS. VERY ANNOYING AND HAZARDOUS!! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE AND THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS FILLING, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE FORCEFULLY SPEWS FROM THE TANK FILLER NECK. SPRAYING ON THE PERSON FUELING, SPILLING FUEL ON THE GROUND, AND ON THE VEHICLE. AT FIRST IT WAS ANNOYING. NOW I FEEL IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AND ALSO AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I AM NOT DESCRIBING A SMALL BURP OF GASOLINE, BUT A LARGE AMOUNT, AT LEAST A CUP OF FUEL. I NO LONGER CAN FILL THE TANK, I HAVE TO STOP SHORT TO PREVENT THE ATTENDANT FROM BEING DRENCHED WITH GAS AND GAS BEING SPILLED ON THE GROUND. *TR

ENGINE
REPEAT ENGINE LIGHT ALERTS UPON ACCELERATION ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE TRUCK ENGINE MISFIRES, IT STARTS JERKING AND BUMPING. I'VE HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN FRONT OF ANGRY TRAFFICKERS BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THE ENGINE WOULD FAIL COMPLETELY ON THE INTERSTATE. TWICE IN DECEMBER 2011 WITHIN A WEEKS TIME, A COIL WAS REPLACED AND ALL 6 SPARK PLUGS, DUE TO CRACKING AND CORROSION. AGAIN IN 2012, THE TRUCK BEGAN MISFIRING, AND MULTIPLE COILS ARE CORRODED, AND AGAIN- ALL 6 SPARK PLUGS ARE AS WELL. UPON RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND A NUMBER OF CHAT SITES WITH ANGRY DODGE OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN ALERTED TO THE BULLETIN POSTED BY COMPANY ABOUT THE FAULTY COWL, WHICH BY POOR DESIGN LEAKS WATER ONTO THE ENGINE. I AM NOW FACED WITH REPLACING ALL THE CYLINDERS, AND REPLACING THE FAULTY COWL WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED COWL/ PINS. LABOR AND PARTS COULD RUN INTO THE THOUSANDS EASILY. OTHER ISSUES I HAVE FACED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE SECOND HAND IN SEPTEMBER 2011 INCLUDE WIRING ISSUES: HEADLAMPS FAIL, AND HORN HONKS WHEN LIGHTS ARE TURN ON. LEFT TURN SIGNAL SIGNALS RIGHT, AND RIGHT TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. DRIVERS POWER WINDOW INTERMITTENTLY STOPS FUNCTIONING. DOME LAMP WILL NOT TURN OFF AT TIMES. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY, AND DODGE IS LOWEST ON MY LIST FOR MY NEXT VEHICLE PURCHASE. *TR

GAS SPITS OUT FORCEFULLY WHEN FUELING, LEAVING GAS ALL OVER THE FLOOR, ALONG THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND ON MY CLOTHES/SHOES. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME UNLESS I STOP FUELING BEFORE THE TANK FILLS UP. MAKES IT TOUGH TO GO ON LONG TRIPS BECAUSE I CAN NEVER HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS. THIS HAS CONTINUED FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR
