TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHENEVER THE CONTACT FILLS UP HIS FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES.

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
AT APPROXIMATELY 1:30 PM TODAY, I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO WHEN BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING STRUCK. WE WERE IN TRAFFIC, MOVING AT A RATE OF ABOUT 25 MPH AND HAD JUST COMPLETED A LEFT TURN. THERE WAS NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE DURANGO WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THERE WERE TWO PASSENGERS AND A DRIVER IN THE SUV AT THE TIME OF THE DEPLOYMENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, A LARGE QUANTITY OF FUEL SPEWS OUT AT THE END. THIS STARTED ~6 MONTHS AGO, AND NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. IT HAS HAPPENED AT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS / PUMPS. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN A 2005 DURANGO RECALL, HOWEVER 2006 VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. ALL EQUIPMENT IS ORIGINAL (NO PARTS REPLACED). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVERY TIME HE FILLS UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE GAS TANK AND SPLASH ALL OVER HIM. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $1,400. THERE IS A RECALL REGARDING THIS FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE FOR THE 2005 DURANGO, BUT NOT THE 2006. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WITH OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO, THERE IS A SHAKE OF THE TRANSMISSION BETWEEN 40-50 MILES AN HOUR. WE FIRST TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM AND A LEAK THEY REPLACED THE FRONT END DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER THIS THERE HAVE BEEN 3 TRANSMISSION LEAKS THAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME SHAKING SO WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. WITH THIS DEALERSHIP, THEY WENT ON A TEST DRIVE WITH US AND WERE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE SHAKING. IT IS NOTED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OUR VEHICLE AND WHEN CALLING THE CHRYSLER STAR CENTER THEY SAY THAT THIS IS THE WAY THE TRUCK IS DESIGNED AND THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM! WE WERE TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER DISTRICT MANAGER THAT WE NEED TO WAIT FOR CHRYSLER TO MAKE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THAT THE SHAKING WILL NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS, BUT AS I SAID EARLIER, WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION LEAKS. WHEN WE WERE CONTACTED ABOUT EXTENDING OUR WARRANTY, WE WERE DENIED DUE TO THERE BEING A CLAIM AGAINST CHRYSLER. BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING OF THE TRUCK, WE ARE UNABLE TO PULL OUR TRAVEL TRAILER THAT IS THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN WE DID DRIVE THE TRUCK PULLING THE TRAILER THAT IS MUCH LESS THAN THE TOWING CAPACITY OF THE VEHICLE, IT SHAKES BAD ENOUGH TO SHAKE CUPS OUT OF THE HOLDERS. WE NOW HAVE TO USE SOMEONE ELSE'S VEHICLE TO PULL OUR CAMPER. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO WHICH I BOUGHT NEW I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR A CLUNKING SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR END AT 10,000 MILES THE DEALER SAID THAT THE SOUND WAS NORMAL NOW AT 42,000 MILES IT IS GETTING LOUDER AND MORE FREQUENT I TOOK IT BACK IN AND WAS TOLD IT IS NORMAL I WENT ON DODGE FORUMS AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE MY PERSONAL MECHANIC TEST DROVE IT AND SAID IT WAS NOT NORMAL AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER HE THINKS IT IS EITHER THE TRANSFER CASE OR TRANSMISSION. *TR

EVERYTIME I COMPLETELY FILL UP THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, I GET GAS SPRAYED ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS STARTED OCCURRING IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, AND IT WILL OCCUR EVERYTIME UNLESS I FILL IT AT THE SLOWEST PUMP SPEED, AND THEN SOMETIMES IT STILL OCCURS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL TANK OVERFLOW I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT I ABSOLUTELY "LOVE" EXCEPT THE FACT THAT THE PAST 2 MONTHS HAS DEVELOPED A PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS (EVEN AT DIFFERENT STATIONS), MY GAS TANK OVER FILLS AND GAS IS "GUSHING" OUT AND A GOOD AMOUNT IS LOST. MY CONCERN IS NOT SO MUCH THE EXPENSE IN WASTE OF EXTRA GAS I NEED TO PAY FOR. BUT, I HAVE GAS DRIPPING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AND IN BETWEEN MY BUMPER FASCIA. AND, THIS ALSO CAUSES A GREAT SCENT OF GASOLINE THAT ALSO SOMEHOW GETS INTO THE VEHICLE, AND LINGERS FOR QUITE A BIT OF TIME AFTERWARDS. I HATE THE SMELL OF GAS. I NOW FILL UP WHEN I DO NOT HAVE MY3 KIDS IN THE TRUCK DUE TO THE SMELL AND GAS FUMES ARE KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVER A RECALL ID# 58886 WHICH SEEMS TO DESCRIBE THE SAME EXACT SITUATION I AM HAVING. UNFORTUNATE FOR ME, THIS RECALL WAS FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S AND NOT 2006. I HAVE ALSO BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH DODGE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM KEEP TELLING THEM SAME PROBLEM AS THE O5. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS SITUATION INVESTIGATED. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO'S BE CONSIDERED AS WELL. IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL A LITTLE BETTER KNOWING I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS STILL A CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT REALLY, FOR SAFETY REASON MUST BE RESOLVED. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE MANY INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS AT GAS STATIONS THAT TAKE PLEASURE IN DISCARDING THEIR LIT CIGARETTES ONTO THE GROUND. AND, I WILL BE VERY UPSET (IF I WAS TO LIVE) IF THAT IGNITED LIGHT CAME IN CONTACT WITH GAS THAT HAS SPILLED OUT OF MY VEHICLE. I GREATLY THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY CONCERN. AND, I REALLY AM HOPING THAT YOU CAN HELP TO RESOLVE MY SITUATION, AND OTHERS IN MY AREA. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, THE GASOLINE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL BUT THE VEHICLE STILL "SPITS" OUT ROUGHLY A HALF GALLON OF GASOLINE ALL OVER THE GROUND, VEHICLE AND THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. I HAVE TRIED MANY GAS STATIONS TO BE SURE THAT IT IS NOT THE PUMP AND HAVE VERIFIED THAT IT IS THE VEHICLE. IN MY RESEARCH AND DISCUSSIONS WITH DODGE DEALERS, IT SEEMS THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 2005 MODELS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, BUT THEY FAIL TO ISSUE ONE FOR THE 2006 MODEL. I CALLED DAIMLERCHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT IT WILL COST ROUGHLY $800 TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED AND GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I FIND THIS UNREASONABLE AS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. AS A FIREFIGHTER, I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH FUEL SPILLS AND THE DEFINITE POTENTIAL FOR A LARGE FIRE AS A RESULT OF A SMALL FUEL SPILL SUCH AS THIS. IN ADDITION TO THE DANGER OF FIRE THERE IS ALSO A POTENTIAL FOR ASPIRATION OF GASOLINE LIQUID OR FUMES AS A RESULT OF THE GASOLINE SPEWING OUT AT THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. THIS COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL DEATH IF IT OCCURRED. I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD THE GASOLINE SPEW OUT AND GOT A DROP IN MY EYE, REQUIRING ME TO RUN TO THE BATHROOM AND FLUSH MY EYE OUT. THE SPILLS HAVE ALSO RUINED ARTICLES OF MY CLOTHING AND WILL EVENTUALLY RUIN THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING MY VEHICLE, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AT THE END OF THE FILL-UP SPITTING APPROXIMATELY 1 PINT OF GAS EACH TIME. THE CONDITION OCCURS WHEN THE TANK IS SHOWN AS EMPTY OR PARTIALLY EMPTY (I.E. 1/2 TANK). IN ADDITION, THE ISSUE OCCURS WHETHER I MANUALLY HOLD THE GAS PUMP LEVER OR PLACE THE PUMP LEVER ON ITS AUTOMATIC LATCH. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME CONSISTENT OVER THE PAST 2-3 MONTHS WHILE IT ONLY OCCURRED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I JUST TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REVIEW AND THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, 3/19, AND ON 3/22 THE FUEL SPITTING OCCURRED DURING FILL-UP ONCE AGAIN. *TR

WHEN FILLING VEHICLE WITH FUEL AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, AS THE GAS TANK APPROACHES FULL AND THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. IT HAS SPRAYED ME TWICE AND TODAY SPRAYED THE GAS PUMP UNIT AS IT IS UNDER PRESSURE WHEN IT OVERFILLS. *TR

I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MAINLY FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY IT HAS GIVEN ME WHILE DRIVING MY 4 YEAR OLD SON. HE HATES THE SMELL OF GAS. I NOW FILL UP WHEN I DO NOT HAVE HIM IN THE TRUCK. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVER A RECALL ID# 58886 WHICH SEEMS TO DESCRIBE THE SAME EXACT SITUATION I AM HAVING. UNFORTUNATE FOR ME, THIS RECALL WAS FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S AND NOT 2006. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS SITUATION INVESTIGATED. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO'S BE CONSIDERED AS WELL. IN SPEAKING WITH MY GAS STATION PETROLEUM PUMPER'S, THEY ALL (AT VARIOUS STATIONS SUCH AS SUNOCO AND HESS) MENTION TO ME THAT A LOT OF DURANGO THAT COME IN HAVE THAT PROBLEM. SO, IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL BETTER KNOWING I AM NOT ALONE. THIS IS STILL A CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT REALLY, FOR SAFETY REASON MUST BE RESOLVED.

GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER HOLE BEFORE TOPPING OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS STATION. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE GAS PUMPS DO NOT DETECT THAT THE TANK IS NEARING FULL. MANUALLY FILLING VERY SLOWLY STILL CAUSES GAS TO GUSH BACK OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE. SERVICE AT DODGE DEALERSHIP SAID IT MIGHT BE THE TANK BREATHER, BUT THE DID NOT REPAIR.*TR
