FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WAS FILLING UP WITH FUEL WHEN AFTER ABOUT A GALLON THE AUTO SHUT OFF TURNED OFF AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL CAME SHOOTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE TANK WAS NEARLY EMPTY WHEN I BEGAN FUELING SO OVERFILLING ISN'T THE CAUSE. I NOTICED MANY PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AND DODGE HAS DONE SOME RECALLS WITH REGARDS TO THIS. LOOKS LIKE MY VEHICLES VIN ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AT THIS POINT. *TR

STEERING, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR FLASHES 4LO CONSISTENTLY AND, YOU CAN HEAR UNDER THE CAR WHEN YOUR NOT EVEN DRIVING THE CAR SWITCHES INTO DIFFERENT 4X4'S. WHEN, YOU UNLOCK THE DOOR IT SWITCHES INTO DIFFERENT 4X4'S. WHEN, YOU GO INTO REVERSE AND, TURN YOUR WHEEL ALL THE WAY THE CAR LOCKS AND, YOU CAN'T MOVE UNLESS YOU TURN YOUR WHEEL A DIFFERENT WAY. IT ALSO DOES THIS IN FORWARD. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE AND, DODGE STILL HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. IF, YOU GO ON THIS WEBSITE YOU WILL SEE OTHER PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT YEAR DODGES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND, YET THERE STILL IS NO RECALLS. THIS HAS TO BE FIXED OR SOMEONE CAN, GET HURT WITH THE CAR LOCKING LIKE THIS AND, IT GOING INTO DIFFERENT 4X4'S.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
EVERY SINGLE TIME WE FILL UP THE TANK ON MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 LIMITED GAS OVERFLOWS. THERE IS ENOUGH FORCE THAT IT USUALLY SPRAYS OUT. I ESTIMATE THAT 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE BODY OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT ONLY EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT BUT ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHER GAS STATION PATRONS! ALTHOUGH NONE IS NOTICEABLE YET, THERE WILL SURELY BE EVENTUAL PAINT DAMAGE ON THE AFFECTED ARE OF THE BODY. *TR

SEAT BELTS
DESIGN OF REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLES IN 2007 DODGE DURANGO ARE FAULTY AND EASILY BREAK, THUS PROVIDING NO SECURE/LOCKING FEATURE DURING IMPACT. I OWN A 2007 DODGE DURANGO AND HAVE JUST OVER 28K MILES ON IT. IT IS USED SPARINGLY DUE TO GAS PRICES. THE THIRD ROW SEAT BELT BUCKLES ARE A METAL BASE WITH A CHEAP PLASTIC PIECE PLACED IN IT THAT SLIDES TO "LOCK" THE SEAT BELT WEBBING AGAINST THE METAL IN LEU OF A LOCKING RACKETING SYSTEM USED ON MOST CARS WHERE CHILD SEATS WOULD/COULD GO. THIS PIECE HAS BROKEN FROM BOTH THIRD ROW SEAT POSITIONS. ONE FAILED TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO AND WAS REPLACE WITH A BETTER DESIGN UNIT. THE OTHER FAILED RECENTLY, BUT DUE TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD BEING OVER, DODGE REFUSES TO REPLACE THE DEVICE. THEREFORE I HAVE NO WAY TO SAFELY AND SECURELY BUCKLE MY CHILDREN IN THIS REAR SEAT. WITHOUT THIS BUCKLE BEING REPLACED, MY CHILD COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN IMPACT SITUATION. SURELY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE SEAT BELT RE-TENSION SYSTEM. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THE DOT APPROVED SUCH A DESIGN TO BEGIN WITH. I CANNOT AFFORD THE COST TO REPLACE THIS AND FEEL STRONGLY THAT DODGE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE SEATBELTS AND REPLACE WITH THE NEWER DESIGN. I WONDER HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE UNSAFELY BEING BUCKLED INTO THESE CARS EVERY DAY. *TR

THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE. IT MAY BECOME AVAILABLE NEXT MO. (NOVEMBER). ARE THERE SO MANY DAMAGED, THAT THEY RUN OUT OF REPLACEMENTS? SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL? INTERESTING: THE CAR WAS WARRANTED FOR 80000 MILES, BUMPER TO BUMPER, AND THIS HAPPENS AT 83000 MILES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY DURANGO FEB 2012 AND 5 MONTHS LATER (AUG 2012) I HAVE ALREADY EXPERIANCING PROBLEMS. EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN THE SUV; WHEN IT GETS CLOSE TO FULL, NO MATTER THE SPEED OF GAS TRAVEL, IT STARTS SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK. I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I STARTED THE DURANGO AND NOTICED THE DASH LIGHTS DID NOT TURN ON. TRIED TURNING THE DIMMER SWITCH ALL THE WAY UP, STILL NOTHING HAPPENED. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DID NOT EVEN TURN ON. I ALSO NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, RPM GAUAGE OR THERMESTATE WAS NOT WORKING. THEN NOTICED THE HORN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, BLINKERS, DIMMER SWITCH, HEAD LIGHTS, DOOR LOCKS, BUTTONS LOCATED ON THE STEERING WHEEL (I.E. CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO VOLUME AND CHANNEL BUTTONS AND HAZARD LIGHTS) WHERE NOT WORKING. WHEN ANY OF THE DOORS ARE OPEN, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT TURN ON. THE COMPASS IS READING "NO BUS", WHICH MEANS IT IS NOT RECEAVING ANY INFORMATION FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. NONE OF THE COMPUTER INFORMATION IS DESPLAYING EITHER; SUCH AS, THE COMPASS, MILAGE, DOOR ADJAR INDICATOR, ECT. I ALSO HAD THE DURANGO HOOKED TO A COMPUTER AND IT KEPT GIVING CODES FOR ITEMS NOT WORKING DUE TO NOT RECEIVING INFORMATION FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AFTER GETTING THIS INFORMATION, I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2006 MODEL HAD A RECALL ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEMS MY 2007 MODEL IS EXPERIANCING. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RECALL WAS PUT OUT AFTER THE MANUFACTER DATE OF MY VEHICLE. IN MY OPINION THE ELECTRICAL PANEL FOR THE 2007 DODGE DURANGO NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS WELL. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE AND AS A SINGLE MOTHER AND THIS VEHICLE AS OUR ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, IT LEAVES US IN QUITE THE PREDICAMENT. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS A HAZARD TO MY CHILDREN, MY SELF AND THE PUBLIC AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL CAUSING IT'S SPEED TO INCREASE RESULTING IN CRASH INTO A FIXED STRUCTURE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 AND AFTER NEARLY 2 YEARS IN APRIL 2009 THE GAS PEDAL BEGAN TO STICK AND MAKE A CLICKING NOISE. THE DODGE DEALER FOUND THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE PEDAL ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY. NEARLY IN THE SAME TIME PERIOD AGAIN 2+ YEARS LATER IN NOV. 2011, THE GAS PEDAL APPARENTLY STUCK AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SEATS
ON NOV. 16, 2011 OUR 2007 DODGE DURANGO CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME ON I-95. INITIALLY THE DRIVER SEAT BECAME EXTREMELY HOT AND 15-20 MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. WE MADE SURE THAT ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE WAS KEPT UP-TO-DATE ON THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS. ONCE MY HUSBAND EXITED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WE HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR ANY RECALLS FOR 2007 DODGE DURANGO AND AT THIS PRESENT TIME THERE ARE NONE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AS WITH THE 2005 DURANGOS & THE MANY 2007 DURANGO COMPLAINTS, I TOO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SPEWING OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF (FUEL INTAKE CHECK VALVE) IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY & ALLOWS QUITE A BIT OF FUEL TO SHOOT OUT FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY CONCERN, BUT IT HAS ALSO CAUSED THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE TO BEGIN BUBBLING UP, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A RUSTING ISSUE. I HAVE TO USE THE WINDSHIELD CLEANER BRUSH AT THE PUMP STATION TO WIPE THE EXCESS FUEL OFF MY VEHICLE TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER BUBBLING. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS REPORTED & A RECALL ISSUED. IT'S RIDICULOUS! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, PARKING BRAKE
WHEN USING THE PARKING BRAKE ON A HILL, THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE MUCH TENSION WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE, IT DOES RELEASE, HOWEVER THE "BRAKE" DASH LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER REPEATED PULLINGS OF THE BRAKE RELEASE HANDLE. THE BRAKE DOES ENGAGE/DISENGAGE, AS I'VE TESTED IT ON LEVEL GROUND. *TR

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT TURN ON, OR GO THE SPEED WHICH I HAVE SELECTED. MY DURANGO IS ONLY A 2007 AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS AT 3 DIFFERENT GARAGES THERE IS NO WAY MY VEHICLE IS OLD ENOUGH TO WARRANT THIS TYPE OF REPLACEMENT. IF I TURN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON AND COMPLETE A TURN THAT SWITCHES THE TURN SIGNAL OFF THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE WIPERS TO STAY ON. THEY ALSO WORK FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CLEANING BUT TURN BACK OFF ONCE THAT PROCESS IS COMPLETE. WE HAD TO DRIVE 300 MILES IN A BAD RAINSTORM AS WE WERE TRAVELING WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. NOW THEY WORK FOR THE MOST PART, BUT OCCASIONALLY THEY WON'T WORK SO THIS IS DEFINITELY SOME KIND OF ISSUE THAT DODGE NEEDS TO FIX. THERE ARE POSTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH EITHER THE SWITCH OR THE WIRING SYSTEM. *TR
