FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HAVE BEGUN EXPERIENCING OVERFILLING OF FUEL TANK DURING PUMPING AT FUEL STATIONS. PROBLEM OCCURS AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS AND IS NOT FUEL-PROVIDER SPECIFIC. THE RESULTING GAS SPILL IS SIGNIFICANT AND AFFECTS THE INDIVIDUAL PUMPING THE FUEL AS WELL AS SPILLING ON THE VEHICLE TO A DEGREE THAT FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CLOSED VEHICLE. CONTACTED LOCAL DODGE DEALER, AS WELL AS, DODGE CORPORATE AND BOTH HAVE REFUSED TO PURSUE MATTER DESPITE A RECALL OF THE 2005 MODEL YEAR (WITH THE SAME BODY STYLE) FOR THE SAME DEFECT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS ISSUE ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER THE FUELING PROCESS HAS ENDED: AFTER THE GAS TANK IS FILLED AND THE NOZZLE HAS CLICKED OFF, GAS WILL SPEW FROM THE TANK. THIS IS NOT A DRIP; IT LITERALLY SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILL POINT ON THE CAR (LIKE THERE IS BACK PRESSURE IN THE TANK). THIS HAPPENS 95% OF THE TIME THE CAR IF FUELED AT A GAS STATION AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION WE ARE AT. WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SPEWING IS NOT AS SEVERE IF WE FILL THE TANK SLOWER TOWARD THE END OF THE FILL UP, BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HELP. *TR

I OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO ADVENTURE AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP WITH FUEL A HALF TO A WHOLE GALLON OF FUEL COMES OUT OF THE FUEL NOZZLE. I HAVE BEEN TO AT LEAST 15 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I CALLED DODGE AND THE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS AND IS ONLY FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGOS'. I AND HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IS EATING AWAY FINISH OF PAINT. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED IN TO DUE TO FIRE HAZARD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT
2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS HAD MULTIPLE ENGINE & ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITHIN 6 MONTH PERIOD. FIRST CAR LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, TOOK ALL STRENGTH TO GET CAR TO SHOULDER OF THE ROAD W/O POWER STEERING & LOCKED STEERING COLUMN. LOCAL MECHANIC SAID THAT COMPUTER WAS FRIED & COVERED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY. TOWED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THERE WAS NOT A COMPUTER PROBLEM, JUST CAM SHAFT NEEDED REPLACING & RECALL ON INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER. AFTER $450 REPAIR FOR CAM SHAFT & TOW, A WEEK LATER CAR STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. APROX EVERY OTHER TIME I WOULD START CAR, THE RADIO & ELECTRICAL DISPLAY (CLOCK) ON RADIO WOULD NOT WORK--APPEARED TO NOT GET POWER. SIX WEEKS LATER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. BY THIS TIME, ORIGINAL DODGE DEALERSHIP HAD BEEN CLOSED, SO WENT TO ANOTHER DODGE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY FOUND ANOTHER WIRING PROBLEM WITH ENGINE. COULD NOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM WITH AUDIO/CLOCK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER. THIS TIME LOCAL MECHANIC ADVISED IT WAS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. REPLACED FUEL PUMP, CHECKED FUSE & STILL COULD NOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM WITH AUDIO/DISPLAY. 9 DAYS LATER WENT TO START CAR IN THE AM, AND ELECTRICAL SEEMED TO SPUTTER (LIGHTS, INSTRUMENT PANE, WIPERS, RADIO) BUT CAR WOULD NOT START. STARTER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ENGAGING THE ENGINE AT ALL. DIAGNOSED AS STARTED MOTOR PROBLEM, STARTER MOTOR REPLACED, BUT CAR STILL NOT FIXED. THEN TOLD BATTERY TERMINALS & CABLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR NOW STARTS, BUT AUDIO/DISPLAY ISSUE STILL UNRESOLVED. CONCERN THAT THERE IS A LARGER PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL RECENT PROBLEMS. GETTING SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON INTERSTATE OR IN ANY LEVEL OF TRAFFIC FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL STALL OUT OR LOSE POWER DURING OPERATION AGAIN. THE CAR ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. FIRST PROBLEM STARTED WITH 37,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. I HATE THIS CAR!!!!! *TR

SEAT BELTS
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

2006 DODGE DURANGO FUEL OVERFLOW WHILE FILLING. PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, AND HAPPENS WITH EVERY FUELING. THERE ARE TWO EXISTING FUEL OVERFLOW RECALLS ON THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO, BUT NO SIMILAR RECALLS FOR THE 2006 DURANGO YET. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 SLT IS IN THE SERVICE DEPT FOR THE 2ND TIME IN TWO WEEKS FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I AM TOLD THE "TRANSMISSION SOLENOID" AND "TRANSMISSION FILTERS" NEED TO BE REPLACED. TWO WEEKS AGO, A "TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE WHEN THE DURANGO'S "TRANSMISSION CHECK LIGHT" CAME ON. SHORTLY LATER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AS THOUGH IT WAS LOSING POWER. IN BOTH SITUATIONS, THE DURANGO EXITED THE FREEWAY BUT BEGAN TO JOLT FORWARD AND BACKWARD. IN BOTH CASES, MY WIFE (2ND SITUATION) AND I (1ST SITUATION) BARELY MADE IT HOME AND TO THE SERVICE DEALERSHIP. THERE IS A CLEAR SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE... AND IT LOOKS TO BE MANY MORE MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE (SAFETY BULLETIN #0803006; ITEM #10021239). THESE SITUATIONS COULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS SAFETY RESULTS DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE ISSUE. PLEASE RESPOND WITH DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING THE REFERENCED SAFETY BULLETINS AND ITEMS #'S. THE PARTS ARE ON BACK-ORDER FOR 1+ WEEKS AND WE DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING FORWARD... EVEN WHEN/IF IT IS "REPAIRED". I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER IF THEY WOULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO NY, FL, MYRTLE BEACH, OR THE TN MOUNTAINS AFTER IT IS REPAIRED... IT WAS NOT RECOMMENDED. SAFETY RECALLS SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR DURANGO TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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
