FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SHOOTS GAS OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2009 AND I JUST FOUND OUT YESTERDAY WHEN GETTING A RECALL (WIPERS) FIXED THAT A RECALL FOR 2005 HAD THE ISSUE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO MODELS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED GAS SPILLS FROM THE TANK. IT SHOOTS TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND GETS ON MY HANDS, LEGS, SHOES, SIDE OF CAR AND GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. THIS EFFECTS THE ENVIRONMENT, MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE GAS THAT IS LEFT ALL OVER MY CAR, MYSELF AND THE GROUND. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE FILLING UP WITH GAS, GAS STARTED SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK. I WAS COVERED HEAD TO TOE IN GAS AND IT WAS FLOWING DOWN THE PAVEMENT AT THE GAS STATION. WHAT IF SOMEONE HAD DISCARDED A LIT CIGARETTE? I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF THE DODGE DURANGO'S. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED! IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE THEN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE LAST TWO TIMES THAT I HAVE FILLED UP MY DURANGO SEVERAL OUNCES OF GAS WILL COME SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK JUST BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF. I'M AFRAID THIS COULD CAUSE QUITE THE FIRE IF A SPARK IGNITES IT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE FUELING OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WHEN THE VEHICLE TANK BECAME FULL THE FUEL NOZZLE ON THE PUMPED KICKED OFF, BUT THEN FUEL BEGAN SPEWING OUT OF THE VEHICLE FUELING SPOUT DUE TO AN APPARENT FAILURE OF THE TANK VALVE FLAP THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS OCCURRENCE. APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TO 1/2 OF A GALLON OF GAS SPEWS OUT EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, MOSTLY ON THE CAR, BUT ALSO ON MINE OR MY WIFE'S HANDS AND SHOES. THIS IS PROBABLY THE 90-100TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OUR VEHICLE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN LATE 2006, AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2006 DURANGO OWNERS ON THIS SITE AND THE DODGE DURANGO CLUBS WEB SITES THAT COMPLAIN OF THE SAME FAILURE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE 2005 DURANGO WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME FAILURE, BUT THE 2006 HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A FIRE OR SOMEONE GETTING HURT OR KILLED TO GET THIS CORRECTED. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE NEW FOR THIS OCCURRENCE TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK UP. THE DEALERSHIP IGNORES THE ISSUE, AND CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED, AND MAY REFUND ME IF IT IS FOUND TO BE A FAULTY PART. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $600 THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO DO THIS WORK (DRAINING AND REMOVING THE TANK). SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND HELP US OUT WITH IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR A FIRE IS CAUSED BY IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAITED FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT A REPAIR SHOP AND THE FAILURE WAS FOUND IN THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE SENSORS AND THE IGNITION SWITCH; HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED CONSTANTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN TRYING TO PUT FUEL TO FILL UP THE CAR GAS EXPLODES OUT OF TANK. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME WHEN TRYING TO PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE, IT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST A HALF GALLON EACH AND EVERY TIME, IT GETS ALL OVER ME THE VEHICLE THE GROUND. IT'S TO THE POINT WERE I CAN'T EVEN FILL UP, FUEL SHOULDN'T COME OUT WHEN FILLING A VEHICLE UP AND WITH THE SUMMER MONTHS UPON US THIS IS A GREAT HAZARD. I WOULD FIGURE THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AND WOULD NEED TO BE FIXED, 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING FOR THE 2006 DODGE DURANGOS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY DODGE DURANGO HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR AWHILE. I FINALLY DID SOME ONLINE READING OF POSTS AND FOUND OTHER DRIVERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALMOST EVERY DAY WHEN I START MY SUV THE RPM'S REV UP AND DOWN. IT ALSO DOES THIS WHEN I AM SITTING AT A DRIVE-THU LINE, STOP SIGN, OR IN TRAFFIC. IT ALSO HAS DIED ON ME WHEN DRIVING. MOSTLY WHEN COMING FROM A STOP, BUT HAPPENS WHEN MAKING TURNS, OR SOMETIMES JUST FOR NO REASON AT ALL. IF IT DOESN'T STALL IT HESITATES. IT ALSO WILL JUMP FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP. LIKE I SAID THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AWHILE. WE HAVE SERVICED THE SUV FOR REPAIR EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE REPAIR SHOP THEN FIXES OR CLEANS CERTAIN PARTS/AREAS, JUST FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. YESTERDAY (JUNE 27, 2012) IT STOPPED WORKING WITH ALL MY CHILDREN IN THE SUV AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. IT IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN A SHOP WHILE THE TECHS SCRATCH THEIR HEADS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
WHEN THE GAS TANK REACHES FULL OR NEARLY FULL THE FUEL "BURPS" OUT SPILLING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL TO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NEARLY 100% OF THE TIME. THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE NOT CLOSING PROPERLY THIS CREATES A RISK OF FIRE AND IS LIKELY THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2005 DURANGO THAT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS REASON. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
GASOLINE SPITS BACK FROM THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP. THE CHECK VALUE IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD EASILY START A FIRE DURING THE FILL-UP BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PROPERLY SHUT OFF. I CAN NOT COMPLETELY FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITHOUT THE DANGER OF SPRAYING GASOLINE EVERYWHERE AT THE GAS STATION. A TSB WAS ISSUED, BUT IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
ANYTIME WE FILL THE DURANGO AND GAS COMES BACK OUT WHEN THE NOZZLE IS REMOVED. THERE IS SO MUCH GAS THAT COMES OUT THAT WE HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP FROM THE GROUND AND IT HAS CAUSED BUBBLES IN THE PAINT WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN SURFACE RUST. DEALER THAT WE PURCHASED FROM CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD US THERE WAS A CLOGGED FILTER. WE GOT THE FILTERS REPLACED AND WHEN MY HUSBAND FILLED IT UP TODAY 6/26/2012 HE SAID AT LEAST 1/2 GALLON OF GAS CAME BACK OUT OF THE CAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS LEAVING GAS ALL ON THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN KEEP THE GAS FROM COMING OUT IS TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE AFTER EVERY SINGLE GALLON. THE FUEL SENSOR INSIDE THE CAR WILL EVEN REGISTER FULL AT 16 GALLONS OF GAS WHEN THE TANK IS 26 GALLONS. WE ARE WASTING ALL KINDS OF MONEY FROM THE GAS COMING UP, COST OF REPAIRING THE PAINT AND REMOVING RUST AND THE MONEY WE SPENT ON REPLACING FILTERS THAT HAVE MADE THIS ISSUE WORSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT WAS FIXED IN 2005 VEHICLES BUT NOTHING FOR 2006 AND HIGHER EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. SOME DODGE DEALERSHIPS ARE EVEN CALLING OWNERS LIARS SAYING THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANY ISSUE LIKE THIS OR ANY RECALLS EVER FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE DODGE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE. THE GAS THAT SPILLS IS GOING TO END UP CAUSING A FIRE AND KILLING PEOPLE ONE OF THESE DAYS. *JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE CHECK VALVE IN FUEL FILLER NECK IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING GASOLINE TO BE EJECTED AT HIGH VOLOCITY WHEN THE GAS PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF. OWNER HAD CUTICLES ON LEFT FOOT BURNED FROM SKIN CONTACT WITH LIQUID GASOLINE. MANY VIDEOS POSTED ON YOUTUBE DEMONSTRATING THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEFECT BY RECALLING SELECT VIN'S KNOWING THE SAME PART WAS INSTALLED WITHOUT MODIFICATION IN MANY MORE VEHICLES NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
OWN DURANGO BUILT JAN 2006, GAS IS PUT IN IT, CLICK OFF NOZZLE, GAS COMES BACK OUT FORCEFULLY OVER THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND MYSELF. IT IS TERRIFYING AND DANGEROUS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE 2005. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT. I BARELY DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM SO TERRIFIED TO PUT GAS IN IT. I TRIED TO EMAIL DODGE AND THE EMAIL DOES NOT GO THROUGH. I CALLED ON THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS FOR THE 2005 AND I CAN HAVE THE DEALER FIX IT AND MAYBE THEY WILL HELP. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE PART ALONE IS $550 AND I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY AND I DON'T HAVE 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. HERE IS THE RECALL: JANUARY 2009 -- CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 19,024 MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES. THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. VEHICLES FOUND TO HAVE A SUSPECT INLET CHECK VALVE WILL HAVE THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. THIS RECALL WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL QUERY, RQ08-005, CONDUCTED BY THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION. 09V-003 MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OF 2006: HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIX.NET/AUTOREPAIR/CAR_PROBLEMS/DODGE-DURANGO/2006/FUEL_SYSTEM_GASOLINESTORAGETANK_ASSEMBLYFILLER_PIPE_AND_CAP/ ____ HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIX.NET/AUTOREPAIR/CAR_PROBLEMS/DODGE-DURANGO/2006/FUEL_SYSTEM_GASOLINE/ ____ HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIX.NET/AUTOREPAIR/CAR_PROBLEMS/DODGE-DURANGO/2006/FUEL_SYSTEM_GASOLINESTORAGETANK_ASSEMBLY/ ____ HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIX.NET/AUTOREPAIR/CAR_PROBLEMS/DODGE-DURANGO/2006/FUEL_SYSTEM_OTHER/

ENGINE
TL* THE CONTACTS OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED BECAUSE HER KEYS WERE TOO HEAVY. THE KEYS WERE REMOVED AND LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AGAIN AND THE CONTACT RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO TESTED THE FUEL PUMP BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. A MONTH LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,490.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME AT FILL UP WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, WHEN THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF FUEL SHOOTS/SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK OPENING. DOING RESEARCH ON LINE I'VE DISCOVERED MANY OTHER DODGE DURANGO'S WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN A TSB # 14-001-12 AND NHTSA REF. # 10043594 ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND DURANGOS WITH CERTAIN VIN#S HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH THIS TSB. I THOUGHT ALL 2006 DURANGOS WOULD BE FIXED WITH THIS TECH. SERVICE BULLETIN. WHEN I INQUIRED AT THE DEALER ON 6/9/12 ABOUT HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED I WAS TOLD MY VIN # WAS NOT COVERED IN THE TSB. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAD A REP. CALL ME AND ASK WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THAT SHE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. I REFERRED TO THE TSB NOTICE AND SHE STILL ACTED LIKE SHE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALL 2006 DURANGOS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON PARTS AND REPAIRS LISTED IN TSB 14-001-12. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD VERY WELL RESULT IN FIRE AND DEATH. *TR
