FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BOUGHT MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO USED WITH 119,000 MILES IN NOVEMBER 2013. EVERY TIME I FILL UP, THE GAS OVERFLOWS. I ALWAYS FILL-UP WHEN STOPPING FOR GAS BECAUSE I DRIVE AN HOUR, ONE WAY, INTO TOWN AND HAVE TO GET GAS OFTEN. REGARDLESS OF HOW I PUMP GAS IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. I HAVE TRIED PUMPING FAST, PUMPING SLOW, AND PUTTING THE NOZZLE ALL THE WAY IN. I HAVE A TWO YEAR DAUGHTER AND I AM CONCERNED THIS OVERFLOW MAY IGNITE A FIRE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS IT THE PUMP KICKED OFF BUT FUEL CAME SPILLING OUT FROM THE TANK. THE FUEL SPILLED OVER ME, THE CAR AND THE GROUND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE TIME THING BUT IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, EVEN WHEN I HAVE NOT FILLED THE TANK COMPLETELY. THIS HAS NOW CAUSED SERIOUS RUST AROUND MY TANK AND THROUGH THE CORNER PANEL. IT HAS NOW RUSTED THROUGH COMPLETELY. I AM AFRAID OF THE SAFETY OF THE TANK AND FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS. NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF LOST GAS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN APRIL OF 2012 AND THE FUEL OVERFLOW WAS NOTICED IMMEDIATELY UPON PURCHASE. SELLER INFORMED THAT IT WAS A NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH ALL DURANGO VEHICLES AND THERE WAS NO FIX. IN THE MEANTIME, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AT EACH REFILL AND HAS CAUSED ME TO IMMEDIATELY WASH DOWN THE AREA (WHILE FUELING) TO PREVENT FIRE AND ADDITIONAL CORROSION. *TR

VEHICLE SPOTS HAS EVERYWHERE WHEN PUTTING GAS IN. CAN NOT PUT OVER 3/4 TANK IN OR A LEAST A GALLON IS COMING BACK ON YOUR FEET & GROUND. THE PAINT IS ALSO RUSTING UNDER THE GAS CAP NOW DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS. THE 2005. WAS RECALLED DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. THIS YEAR ALSO SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED! *TR

PROBLEM WHEN REFILLING THE GAS TANK. WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILL PORT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AT THE GAS STATION BUT IT HAS HAPPENED CONSECUTIVE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. PROBABLY SPRAYS OUT 8 OR 12 OUNCES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME WE FILL UP, THE GAS SPILLS OUT. BY THE TIME THE NOZZLE CLICKS, IT'S TOO LATE AND THE FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE TANK. MY DAUGHTER WAS NEAR ME WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME! I'VE USED VARIOUS GAS STATIONS, BUT IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. IT HAS TO BE THE INLET CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK. IT IS NOT USER ERROR. NOW I HAVE TO SIT THERE FOREVER AND PUMP SLOW, OR JUST GO WITH HALF A TANK, AND IN COLORADO, IT'S NOT SAFE TO DO THAT IF WE BREAK DOWN IN THE COLD AND SNOW. NO ONE FILLS THE TANK EXCEPT ME DUE TO OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. I CALLED DODGE YEARS AGO AND THEY SAID IT WOULD FALL ON ME TO PAY FOR THEIR PROBLEM! NOW, IT'S JUST GETTING ANNOYING THAT THIS STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. *TR

THE SHUT OFF VALVE HAS NOT WORKED CORRECTLY FOR OVER THE PAST YEAR. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK GAS IS SPIT BACK ON THE CAR AND DRIVEWAY SERVICE. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF I PAUSE FOR A PERIOD DURING FILLING THE TANK TO LET PRESSURE RELEASE. MY DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS, HAD TO BELIEVE WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I WOULD LIKE DODGE TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. HELP....... *TR

THIS VEHICLE DIES RANDOMLY GOING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN IT IS WET OUT IT IS WORSE. WITH NO WARNING THE VEHICLE JUST STALLS. DURING THIS YOU LOSS ALL CONTROLS OF THE VEHICLE. BUT YOU CAN TURN IT OVER AND IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES AND THERE DURANGO'S ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I HAVE HAD IT TO A DODGE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT ARE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE IN MY VEHICLE! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SPILLS GAS EVERYTIME I FILL IT COMPLETELY UP. I INSERT THE FUEL NOZZLE FROM THE GAS PUMP PUT IT ON HALF FILL AND LET THE FUEL FLOW UNTIL IT SHUTS OFF AT THE HANDLE ABOUT 2 SECONDS LATER FUEL COMES SQUIRTING OUT OF THE DURANGOS GAS RECEPTACLE! IT DOES THIS EVERYTIME YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP, AND HAS DONE IT SINCE 2008. DODGE NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS!!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
UNFORTUNATELY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DURANGO FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF PURCHASE IN 2006. THE CURRENT ISSUE AND IS VERY SCARY WHILE DRIVING IS THE 4 LO LIGHT WILL QUICKLY FLASH RAPIDLY FOR SEVERAL FLASHES AND THEN STOPS. THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND SEEMS TO BECOME ENGAGED IN 4 LO ALL ON ITS OWN. IT ALSO MAKES A NOISE WHEN UNLOCKING VEHICLE THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING UNDER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. IT HAS BE DOING THIS MORE FREQUENTLY. CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THERE IS NO WARNING OR CONTROL. ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS THE STEERING IS AFFECTED. IN A PARKING LOT RECENTLY I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A SHARP LEFT TURN AND THE VEHICLE JUST LOCKED UP COMPLETELY AND EVEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAVE HAD MANY TIMES TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR "INSTRUMENT PANEL" RECALLS. IT REALLY SEEMS THAT THIS CAR HAS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS AS THIS AGAIN SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE AND POTENTIALLY COULD BE FATAL IF DRIVING AND HAVING COMPLETE LOSE OF CONTROL. I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND ALSO NOTED THAT MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR DODGE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE REPEATED RECALLS AND REPAIRS THAT DO NOT SEEM TO HELP THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND HOPE THAT A RECALL WILL BE DONE BEFORE THERE ARE INCREASED ACCIDENTS OR WORSE DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, WHEN TANK IS FULL, GAS WILL SPILL OUT FILLER NECK. THE SPILLED GAS SPLASHES EVERYWHERE, AND HAS BEEN ON THE BODY BELOW THE FILLER NECK ENOUGH TIMES THAT IT HAS CAUSED THE PAINT TO LIFT, AND A RUST HOLE TO FORM IN THE FENDER. NO OTHER RUST ON VEHICLE. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BROKEN ON PASSENGER SIDE, WITH HEAT SHIELD DETACHED. DEALER REPORTS THAT DRIVERS SIDE ARE DETERIORATED AND MAY FAIL IN THE NEAR FUTURE. RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT OF ALL BOLTS/STUDS THAT WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK OFF DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE MATERIAL USED BY CHRYSLER. WILL REQUIRE DRILLING OUT BOLTS FROM HEADS AT A MINIMUM COST OF OVER $1400 PER THE EXPERIENCE OF THE DEALER. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY CONSIDER THIS NORMAL WEAR... EVEN WHEN THE OWNER IS REQUIRED TO DRILL THE BOLTS OUT. THIS IS A FAILURE IN THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN OF A VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT CREATES DANGERS DUE TO EXTREME EXHAUST TEMPERATURE, EXHAUST GASES AND THE POTENTIAL FAILURE OF AN ENGINE ... ALL DUE TO THE DETERIORATION OF INEXPENSIVE BOLTS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF CUTTING CORNERS TO SAVE A DOLLAR WHILE COSTING THE OWNERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM EXIST ON FORUMS AND DISCUSSION BOARDS BUT THE MANUFACTURER IGNORES THE DEFECT AND DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

DURING REFUELING. ONCE THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS AND THE TANK IS FULL A GREAT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK. DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION IS USED. HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND IS A DEFINITE FIRE RISK. MULTIPLE SEARCHES ONLINE DEMONSTRATE HUNDREDS OF RESULTS AND VIDEOS ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. *TR
