ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH TURN SIGNALS FAILING TO WORK PROPERLY. SOMETIMES THEY WILL BLINK FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND OTHER TIMES THEY WILL NOT WORK AT ALL OR EVEN BLINK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THIS IS A CONSIDERABLE HIGHWAY SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD LEAD TO A SEVERE TRAFFIC CRASH. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING INCONSISTENTLY OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN NUMEROUS INSTANCES WHEN THE POWER WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY AND ALSO WHEN YOU WOULD TRY TO USE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS IT WOULD CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID TO ACTIVATE AND NOT DIM OR ENGAGE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING ONCE TANK IS FULL AND PUMP SHUTS OFF, A MODERATE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE WILL SPEW FROM THE FILLER NECK. EVEN IF YOU SLOW THE PUMP TO A VERY SLOW RATE BEFORE IT BECOMES COMPLETELY FULL YOU CAN HEAR THE AIR RELEASING FROM THE TANK AND WITHOUT WARNING IT STILL SPILLS. THIS HAS OCCURRED THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE, AND EVEN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY DEALER STATED THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BESIDES INSIST I NOT FILL COMPLETELY UP. ANYWHERE FROM A FOOTPRINT SIZE PUDDLE TO A PUDDLE COVERING THE REAR AXLE LENGTH OF VEHICLE OCCURS. AFTER INSTALLING DUAL EXHAUST ON VEHICLE I AM VERY NERVOUS OF LETTING THIS CONTINUE AND RISK GASOLINE SPILLING ONTO HOT PIPE IGNITING A FIRE, LET ALONE ANY CLEARCOAT DAMAGE THAT MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE TO PAINT. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS HERE AS WELL AS ELSEWHERE ON NUMEROUS DODGE FORUMS. PLEASE ASSIST. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS AROUND 52,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO. MY WIFE WAS FUELING UP THE CAR AND WAS DOUSED WITH GAS ABOUT 5 SECONDS AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ENGAGED ON THE FUEL PUMP. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE THING, BUT THEN IT HAPPEND AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE 2005 DURANGOS ARE UNDER A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, SO THEY OBVIOUSLY COMPLETELY IGNORED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZZARD FOR HUMAN LIFE/ HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED VEHICLE. AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AT ANY GAS STATION AND LETTING IF FILL UP TO THE AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF, GAS SPILLS OUT WITH GREAT FORCE RIGHT AFTER THE PUMPS AUTO CUT-OFF. IT SPURTED AS FAR OUT AS ABOUT 2-3 FEET FROM THE CAR AND THEN CONTINUES TO COME OUT AND GO DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT THERE IS PROBABLY AT LEAST 8-12 OUNCES OF FUEL SPILLAGE EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A FIRE, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM DOING RESEARCH THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. MANY YEARS 2005-2009 DURANGOS, JEEP WRANGLERS, AND JEEP CHEROKEES. IT IS CLEAR THAT CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO PUT FAULTY FILLER TUBES AND GAS TANKS ON THEIR VEHICLES EVEN AFTER THEY KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN OVER 200 COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON VARIOUS MODEL YEARS OF DURANGO'S JUST IN THIS PAST YEAR. CHRYSLER GIVES THE RUN AROUND EXPECTING PEOPLE TO PAY ANYWHERE FROM $200-$1500 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY THEM FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. THERE ARE ALSO PLENTY OF VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET SHOWING THIS PROBLEM. I URGE YOU TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION ON THE 2007 DURANGO AND OTHER MODELS AND INSTITUTE A RECALL TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. YOU ALL INVESTIGATED TOYOTA ONLY AFTER 32 COMPLAINTS WHICH ENDED UP BEING MORE USER ERROR THAN ANYTHING. I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS GOT A LOT MORE THAN 32 COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. PLEASE BE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR INVESTIGATIONS AND START ONE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO SLT STARTED OVERFLOWING DURING PUMPING GAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. ONCE THE TANK FILLS UP, IT SHOOTS ABOUT 500 ML OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP, SO I TRIED DIFFERENT STATION AND DIFFERENT PUMPS AND ALWAYS THE SAME RESULT. I ALSO TRIED TO FILL UP THE TANK ABOUT 90% OF THE WAY, PULL OUT THE PUMP TO LET IT VENT, AND THEN CONTINUE PUMPING AFTER THE TANK WAS VENTED. THIS DIDNT HELP. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I SHOOTS A HALF LITER OF GAS ONTO THE GROUND THAT SOAKES INTO THE GROUND, POOLS ON THE GROUND, AND RUNS ALL OVER THE CAR. IF SOMEONE WAS SMOKING OR SOMETHING SPARKED, A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN BE KILLED. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL! THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ME AT LEAST 20 TIMES, IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS TO SOME DEGREE EVEN WHILE KNOWING IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN. *TR
