FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND GAS CAME SHOOTING OUT OF THE TANK ONCE THE SHUTOFF VALVE CLICKED OFF. IT SPRAYED ALL OVER MY CLOTHES, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ONTO THE CONCRETE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY GAS PUMP, BUT IT HAPPENED AT FOUR DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I LEARNED LATER THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL ASSEMBLY AT MY OWN COST. I KNOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE FILLING UP MY GAS TANK KNOWING I MIGHT GET COVERED WITH GAS AND POSSIBLY BE NEAR AN IGNITION SOURCE. *TR

I NO LONGER FILL UP ALL THE WAY TO PREVENT ANY MORE OVERFLOWS AND POTENTIAL FIRES. PROBLEM IS SAME AS 2005 RECALL BUT DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR WITHOUT A RECALL FOR 2006 DURANGO. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE HAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. THIS RESULTS IN A SAFETY HAZARD WHEREBY UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS SPRAYS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ON TO THE PERSON FILLING THE GAS. IF THIS OCCURS IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A SIGNIFICANT FIRE/EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR. THE SAME ISSUE RESULTED IN A RECALL ON 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NO. 09V-003 (H45). IN REFERENCE TO THE RECALL AND ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS, CHRYSLER'S RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK ISSUE WAS ESTIMATED BY CHRYSLER TO IMPACT LESS THAN 20% OF VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT IN REALITY, IN EXCESS OF 50% OF VEHICLES INSPECTED REQUIRED REPAIR (PER THE 9/30/10 CHRYSLER RECALL QUARTERLY REPORT). PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CLIP AS THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE MODEL YEAR 2007 AS WELL. (HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FS5U63CN-II)

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH APPROXIMATELY 51,000 MILES. WHEN I FILL THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE GUSHES OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING WITHIN A SECOND OR TWO AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL STARTING A FEW MONTHS AGO. IT IS THE SAME THING THAT THE 2005 DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR WHICH DODGE SHOULD BE HELP ACCOUNTABLE. THE 2005 RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 AND 09V003000 IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT DODGE AND NHTSA IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. PLEASE TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION FOR A RECALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
REFERENCES RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V003000 FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL SYSTEM. MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS THE SAME DEFECT AS LISTED IN THE 2005 RECALL. A LOCAL DODGE DEALER HAS INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED THE DEFECTED FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE AND STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY IN MY DURANGO. DODGE WILL NOT COVER THE TOTAL COST OF THIS SAFETY REPAIR SINCE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2006 AND DODGE TOLD ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. I AM URGING THE NHTSA TO RE-ELEVATE THE 300+ COMPLAINTS AND EXTEND THE RECALL TO THE 2006 DURANGO AND OTHERS. MY 2006 DURANGO FUEL SYSTEM DEFECT BEGAN IN JUNE 2010 WITH THE MOST RECENT HAZARDOUS INCIDENT OCCURRING IN DECEMBER 2010. THE SHUT OFF SEEMS TO HAVE DECLINED TO THE POINT THAT THE GAS NOW SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SAFETY MATTER. I BECAME COVERED IN GASOLINE AS THE GAS SPRAYED LIKE A HOSE OUT ONTO MY COAT AND HAIR. MY HAIR LATER TOUCHED MY EYE AND MY EYE WAS STINGING FROM WHERE THE GAS MUST HAVE TOUCHED MY CONTACT LENS. MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME AT THE TIME AND WE BOTH HAD TO SMELL THE POTENT FUMES FROM THE GAS ON MY CLOTHES. I HAD TO THROW MY FLEECE COAT IN THE TRASH. I AM FORTUNATE I DID NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH A SPARK OR IT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT MY CLOTHES ON FIRE. THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF COLD WEATHER AND STATIC ELECTRICITY IS A REALITY WITH GASOLINE. I AM ALARMED THAT DODGE WOULD NOT SUBMIT A RECALL ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AFTER 2005. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I CANNOT FILL MY DURANGO GAS TANK TO THE FULL MARK WITHOUT THE ERUPTION OF GAS COMING FROM THE TANK. IT STARTED OUT AS A SPILLAGE BUT NOW IT SPILLS AND SPRAYS OUT. OTHER OWNERS SHOULD BE WARNED SO THAT A FIRE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH DOES NOT OCCUR.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL FILLING IN 2006 DODGE DURANGO'S. WHEN FILLING, FUEL BACKWASHES OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING AFTER THE PUMP STOPS FUELING. THIS OVERSPILL OCCURS EVERY TIME, AND ALSO TIMES WHEN I TRY TO STOP FUELING BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL. IT IS DANGEROUS, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DON'T FILL THE DURANGO VERY OFTEN (I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH), BUT STARTED TO OCCUR LAST YEAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND WHEN YOU FILL THE FUEL TANK, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE PIPE WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME. IT IS THE SAME THING THAT THE 2005 DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR. I'D LIKE MINE RECALLED. 2005 RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 AND 09V003000. 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. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF AND ON OR JUST COMPLETELY OFF. SIMPLY PUSHING ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. I DISASSEMBLED THE OLD SWITCH, AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE SURFACE MOUNT COMPONENT OF THE SWITCH CAME LOOSE ON ONE CORNER AND ALLOWED INTERMITTENT CONTACT WITH THE CIRCUIT. EPOXY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE FIXED IT, BUT FOR $40, I JUST REPLACED THE PART MYSELF. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL LIKELY USING THE SAME PART. *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 DURANGO SLT, DRIVING THROUGH A PUDDLE CAUSES THE POWER STEERING TO QUIT AND THE LIGHTS ALSO DIM LIKE THE TRUCK IS LOSING POWER. THE SERPENTINE BELT ON THE TRUCK IS ALSO SQUEALING WHICH I BELIEVED TO BE THE ISSUE. I CHANGED THE BELT ON THE TRUCK BUT POWER STEERING STILL FAILS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN A TURN AND JUST ABOUT LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND OVER THE SUMMER WHILE DRIVING MY RADIO STARTED AND STOPPED WORKING, MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM STARTING BLINKING, AND THEN FINALLY MY CAR STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. WE FOUND BOTH OF THE RELAYS TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON OUR DURANGO FULL OF WATER BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY DENIED EVER HEARING OF THIS ISSUE AND STARTED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. WE SHOOK OUT THE RELAYS, LEFT THEM UNPLUGGED OVERNIGHT, AND USED A HAIR DRYER TO DRY ANY REMAINING MOISTURE. AS LONG AS I KEEP MY VEHICLE PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND UNPLUG THE RELAY AFTER WE WASH THE CAR WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT WE COULD NOT GET TO GO OUT. OVER THE WEEKEND I HEARD ON HEADLINE NEWS THAT THE 2008 DODGE CARAVANS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR MOISTURE GETTING INTO THE AIRBAGS. I CALLED AND EXPLAINED MY ISSUE WITH OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. INTERESTING TO NOTE IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP INQUIRES ABOUT THE MILEAGE ON YOUR VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THEIR REPRESENTATIVE THAT LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES CAN HAVE A CHANCE AT "GOODWILL" REPAIRS BUT NOT HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLES. I'M NOT SURE IF 75,000 MILES IS CONSIDERED LOW OR HIGH BUT WHAT IS AT ISSUE IS THAT DODGE KNOWS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE BUT THEY ARE NOT CORRECTING IT ON ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES ONLY ON THEIR 2008S. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYED BACK ON HER, THE GROUND AND THE VEHICLE. SHE ALSO STATED THAT OCCASIONALLY A FEW DAYS LATER THE SMELL OF FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. SHE REFERENCED RECALL 05V034000, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP AND STATED THAT SHE DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2006 VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED HER THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDED REPLACING. SHE STATED THAT THE PRE-OWNED VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON OCTOBER 15, 2010 AND SHE NOTICED THE FAILURE, THE FOLLOWING DAY. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,300.

I HAVE A 2006 MODEL YEAR DODGE DURANGO. EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK IT SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. EVERY TIME. I SAW WHERE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL DURANGOS FOR THE SAME REASON. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE REST OF THE DEFECTIVE UNITS? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS TO THE FULL LIMIT, GAS SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE TANK NECK ONTO THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED FROM THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, I GOT COVERED IN GAS BECAUSE THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 05 MODELS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, YET DODGE WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 06 MODELS. DEALERSHIP SERVICE SAID THAT THE NEW TANK WILL COST OVER $600 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS THERE IS NO FLAP TO CLOSE THE HOLE WHERE YOU STICK THE GAS NOZZLE IN, SO IF THAT IS LEFT OPEN, WOULDN'T GAS POUR OUT IN THE CAR WERE TO BE OVERTURNED? *TR
