FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EACH TIME I REFUEL MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, FUEL SPILLS OUT THE FILLER NECK AND AND ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE TO WARN THE PUMP ATTENDANT THAT FUEL WILL SPILL OUT ON THEM IF THEY ARE STANDING NEARBY. IF MY WINDOW IS DOWN THE VEHICLE WILL FILL UP WITH GASOLINE FUMES. OUR CHILDREN HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FUMES IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION. THE PUDDLE FROM THE SPILLED GASOLINE ON THE GROUND IS AB OUT 1.5 TO 2.5 FEET IN DIAMETER. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH ISSUES. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ONLY ON A SLOW INTERMITTENT SPEED. ONLY THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WORKS, AND WILL ACTIVATE WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER IS PUSHED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN (THE RIGHT SIGNAL ONLY WILL BLINK). THIS SWITCH WAS ALSO REPLACED IN 2008 BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT. THERE IS NOW 75,000 MILES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I FILL UP, THE GAS PRESSURE BUILDS UP IN THE TANK AND SPURTS OUT ALL OVER. I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR IT START GURGLING IN THE TANK. I HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH GASOLINE ON A SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE FIRST FEW TIMES, I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD DONE, OR THE GAS PUMP WHERE I WAS FILLING. BUT I RECENTLY WENT ON 2 TRIPS FROM FL TO NY AND BACK AND IT HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY FILL UP ON BOTH TRIPS WITHIN A MONTH, AS WELL AS FILL UPS IN BETWEEN AND AS I STATED, SOME PRIOR TO. THIS CREATED SEVERAL HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS. GASOLINE ON MY PERSON AND CLOTHING, INHALATION OF THE FUMES CAUSING ILLNESS, GASOLINE ON MY VEHICLE, GASOLINE ON THE PAVEMENT AT THE GAS PUMPS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POSTS ONLINE ABOUT MY EXACT PROBLEM SINCE IT HAPPENED. ONE PERSON IS PERSONALLY DOCUMENTING CASES. HE HAS OVER 120 + CASES HE IS AWARE OF, NOT INCLUDING MINE, THIS YEAR ALONE. THIS IS THE FIRST STEP I HAVE TAKEN AT THIS POINT, AS I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE IF IT IS HAPPENING WITH SUCH FREQUENCY. THESE ARE THE DOCUMENTED CASES JUST THROUGH ONE PERSON ONLINE, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER CASES NOT DOCUMENTED. NOT TO MENTION PEOPLE WHO DON'T FILL THEIR TANKS ALL THE WAY WHO MAY HAVE THE ISSUE AND DO NOT EVEN KNOW IT. DOES SOMEBODY HAVE TO BE BURNED OR OTHERWISE INJURED, OVERCOME BY THE FUMES FIRST? HOW MANY INSTANCES MUST OCCUR BEFORE IT BECOMES A TRUE SAFETY CONCERN? DOES MY CHILD NEED TO FILL THE TANK AND MAYBE SWALLOW THE GASOLINE THAT SPURTS OUT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYTHING IS IN THE WORKS. THE ONE INDIVIDUAL SAYS HE WAS INITIALLY LOOKING AT A $350 REPAIR BILL THAT WAS THEN LOWERED TO $100 AND THEN OFFERED FREE DUE TO HIS COMPLAINTS. I AGREE WITH HIM, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WANT TO PAY HIM OFF TO SHUT HIM UP. MEANWHILE THEY MAKE MONEY OFF WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES WITH MANY PROBLEMS. THIS ONE IS UNIQUE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*KB

GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL THAT THE GASOLINE DOESN'T SPRAY ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED DYING WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. STEERING AND BRAKING BECOME VERY DIFFICULT AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. MY MECHANIC USED A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL AND SAID IT SHOWED A CODE FOR THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR, AND IT WAS REPLACED. HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER. THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL SHOWED A CODE FOR THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR, AND IT WAS REPLACED. IT IS STILL HAPPENING. VEHICLE NEVER FAILS TO START AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE STOPPED BUT DUE TO THE DIFFICULTY IN STEERING AND BRAKING WHEN IT STALLS, I HAVE NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS. PLEASE HELP! *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I REFUEL MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO (LIMITED), AT LEAST HALF A GALLON OF GASOLINE SPEWS BACK FROM THE FILL NOZZLE AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE SUV AND GROUND (AND SOMETIMES MYSELF OR MY WIFE). THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE, AND I CONSIDER THIS VERY DANGEROUS FOR BOTH MY WIFE AND I AND OUR CHILDREN. THIS IS A HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I CAN PROVIDE VIDEO PROOF THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM. *TR
