2006 Dodge Durango Complaint Log

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT I PURCHASED IN MARCH, 2010. THE LAST 4 TIMES I HAVE FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, WHEN I STOP, A HUGE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SHOOTING BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE SOAKING ME, MY CLOTHES, MY VEHICLE AND POURING ONTO THE GROUND. THE LAST TIME I EVEN ATTEMPTED TO BEGIN PUTTING GAS INTO THE VEHILE, IT SHOT OUT ON ME, VEHICLE AND GROUND. IT DID THIS 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PUT GAS IN MY VEHICLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS AT NO COST?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ENGAGED. THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE PROGRESSED OVER TIME WHICH RESULTED IN A CONTINUOUS OCCURRENCE WHEN REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL EJECTED OUT OF THE TANK. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE TANK WHENEVER GASOLINE WAS ADDED TO ITS CAPACITY. THE FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF, BUT FUEL CONTINUED TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,000. UPDATED 2/4/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER ADVISED THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE VEHILCE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 02/20/2013*JS

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO JUST TURNED 50,000 MILES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERY TIME I FILL UP ON GAS THE GASOLINE SHOOTS BACK OUT AT ME. IT SOAKS ME, THE CAR, THE OUTSIDE OF MY CAR AND THE GROUND. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND A WASTE OF MONEY. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THIS CAR IS NOT IN A RECALL. I UNDERSTAND 2005 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME AND VERY SCARY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPEWED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND JERK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSE THAT THE ENGINE SOLENOID SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,789.

THE VEHICLE STARTED OUT BY SHIFTING ON ITS OWN WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE STOPPED. THEN IT BEGAN SHIFTING ON ITS OWN EVEN WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF. IT WOULD SHIFT INTO 4 LO OR 4 HIGH TOTALLY ON ITS OWN WHEN STOPPED. THEN FROM THERE IT STARTED SHIFTING INTO 4 LO OR HIGH WHILE DRIVING AND IT WOULD SOUND LIKE SOMEBODY HAD HIT THE VEHICLE FROM BEHIND AND IT WOULD SHOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN HIT BUT ALL BECAUSE IT WAS SHIFTING ON ITS OWN. I TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT IT WOULD NOT REPEAT ITSELF WHILE HE HAD IT AND HE HAD NOT HEARD OF SUCH A THING BEFORE, SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT REVERSE WITHOUT GIVING IT A LOT OF GAS AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT TURN WHEN I NEEDED IT TO, PERHAPS BECAUSE IT WAS IN 4LO OR HI. AND OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD JUMP FORWARD WITH NO WARNING OR CONTROL MAKING SCREECHING SOUNDS FROM THE TIRES. THEN ONE DAY I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND IT SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 4 LO AND THRUSTED THE CAR FORWARD SEVERAL FEET AND LUCKILY I WAS FAR ENOUGH BACK FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME THAT I DIDN'T HIT IT. HOWEVER AT THAT POINT IT WOULD BARELY DRIVE SO I SLOWLY GOT IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 4 LO THE ENTIRE DAY, SO I HAD TO EVENTUALLY HAVE IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. BY THE TIME IT GOT THERE IT DROVE FINE AGAIN AND HE COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. BUT WHILE PARKED IN HIS LOT, IT BEGAN TO CHANGE GEARS, ON ITS OWN, AND WHILE TURNED OFF. HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS OF 2006 DODGE DURANGOS HAD REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND HE CALLED TO LET US KNOW THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT HE COULD NOT REPAIR IT AND TO FILE A REPORT ON IT AND THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HE SAID IT WAS SHIFTING ITSELF INTO OTHER GEARS WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS OFF OR ON AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LEFT IT IN PARK AS IT COULD PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AND STILL ROLL EVEN WHILE OFF. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO HELP AT THIS TIME. THIS IS MY ONLY WAY TO WORK AT THIS TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING FUELED, IT WOULD SPILL OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

2006 DODGE DURANGO GAS TANK OVERFILLS EVERY TIME. LOTS OF GAS SPILLS OUT. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL WOULD BEGIN TO SPILL OUT FROM THE FUEL FILLER NECK. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED TO CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE YET THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,950. UPDATED 06/20/11

THE GAS TANK SPRAYS A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE BACK OUT OF THE TANK EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED. THIS IS A FLAMMABLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOM AS IN THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO RECALL, YET THE '06S ARE NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, YET DODGE WILL NOT CORRECT THIS, AND IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR TO THE CONSUMER. *TT

WE PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO 4X4. THE FIRST TIME WE FILLED THE GAS TANK IT NEVER CLICKED OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND CAUSES GAS TO SPILL AND SPLASH EVERY WHERE. WE READ THIS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2004 & 2005 AND HAS BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALER BUT WE CAN NOT GET A CALL BACK REGARDING OUT 2006 VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 06 DURANGO IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND AT DIFFERENT STATIONS. THE TANK WILL FILL UP AND THE PUMP WILL CUT OFF AND THEN THERE IS A BACK FLOW AND GAS POURS OUT ALL OVER THE CAR AND THE GROUND. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FULL THE GAS PUMP CLICKED AND THE FUEL SPRAYED OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR A MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,500. UPDATED 01/14/11*LJ

2006 DURANGO FUEL TANK SPEWS GAS INSTEAD OF SHUTTING PUMP HANDLE OFF. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME WE FILL VEHICLE. WE MUST MANUALLY TURN OFF PUMP BEFORE WE BELIEVE GAS TANK IS FULL TO KEEP FROM BEING COVERED WITH GAS. *TR

I HAVE A DODGE DURANGO 06, LATELY ALMOST EVERYTIME I'M FILLING UP GAS, THE GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM THE TANK AND SPILLS OUT. I SEE THAT DURANGO 05 HAD BEING RECALL ALREADY FOR THE EXACTLY SAME PROBLEM TO PREVENT POSSIBLE FIRE. I CHECK INTERNET AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM DURANGO OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE OF SPILL GASOLINE WHEN REFUELING. A CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAID THAT WITHOUT RECALL THE CANNOT DO ANYTHING. *TR

WHILE FUELING THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND A SECOND OR TWO LATER, ABOUT A HALF A GALLON OF GAS SPRAYS OUT. THIS PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE. I'VE TRIED TO FILL IT UP ON THE LOWEST SETTING AND I'VE TRIED PULLING THE NOZZLE OUT OF THE TANK SOME SO THE (HARMFUL) VAPORS CAN ESCAPE. IT IS HAPPENING ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME AND THIS IS NOT A SAFE THING TO HAVE GAS COMING FLYING BACK OUT AND GETTING OVER THE GROUND, MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE 2005 MODELS AND NOW THE 2006'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS PROBLEM IS WAY OUT OF CONTROL. I WILL BE POSTING MY YOUTUBE VIDEO ALONG WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO SHOW HOW UNSAFE THIS ISSUE IS AND HOW IT IS BEING HANDLED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED. HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE GETS RESOLVED BEFORE A REAL INJURY IS REALIZED. *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FUEL HER VEHICLE, THE GASOLINE WOULD SPILL BACK OUT. THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO RECALL 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH CONCLUDED THAT THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO COVER 50% OF THE REPAIR COST; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

GAS OVER FLOWING AT THE FUEL PUMP WHEN FILLING UP. THE PUMP WOULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY STOP TILL AFTER IT WAS OVER FLOWING. GAS SPILLED ON THE PAINT AND HANDS, CLOTHS IF YOUR STANDING THERE AND ON THE GROUND CAUSE A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. TOOK TO DEALER SAID IT WAS THE GAS TANK. THEY REPLACED IT AND NO MORE PROBLEMS. I DON'T HAVE THE OLD GAS TANK.$750.00 FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

DODGE DURANGO 2006: FUEL FILLER NECK PROBLEM. WHEN FILLING THE CAR, FUEL CAN SPURT OUT OF THE FILLER NECK INCLUDING SPRAYING ON THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. DODGE HAS THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM ON 2005 CARS AND ISSUED A RECALL TO REPLACE FILLER NECK AND GAS TANK, BUT NO SUCH RECALL ON OTHER YEAR CARS. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO, ONCE THE TANK IS FULL, GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK FOR A COUPLE SECONDS UNLESS THE PUMP IS MANUALLY STOPPED PRIOR TO FILLING THE TANK. THIS HAPPENS ON ALMOST EVERY FILL UP. *TR

ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO WATER BEING INTRODUCED INTO ENGINE BY EMISSIONS SYSTEM. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 06 DURANGO IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF THEN SECONDS LATER GAS SHOOTS OUT THE FILL TUBE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE EXPLOSION AND HURT MANY, MANY PEOPLE. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. MY DURANGO SHUT OFF TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS DURING TURNS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. IT SHUTS OFF AFTER STOPPING AT STOP SIGN AND THEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE. THE DODGE DEALER CAN NOT FIND A REASON FOR COMPLETE ENGINE STALL. THE DEALER HAS FLASHED THE PCM. THE ENGINE STALLED NEXT DAY AFTER FLASHING THE PCM. WHEN ENGINE STALLS THERE IS COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING. IN ONE YEAR OF OWNERSHIP THERE HAS BEEN FIVE ENGINE SHUT OFFS. IN EFFORT TO FIX DEALER CHARGED ME FOR COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING WHICH WAS NOT NEEDED. A THROTTLE BODY SERVICE WHICH WAS NOT NEEDED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT ALSO BELONGED TO THE 2004/2005 DURANGO AND IS STILL PRESENT IN THE 2006 DURANGO. THE FLASH TO THE PCM DOES NOT WORK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL IT BEGAN TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER HE ADDED FUEL TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

THE FUEL SPITS OUT WHEN REFUELING. THE AUTO SHUT OFF DOES NOT STOP THE REFUELING UNTIL THE FUEL HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO SPIT OUT OF MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WITH A 5.7 HEMI ENGINE. MY ISSUES IS WITH THE ESP (TRACTION CONTROL). THE ESP LIGHT IS COMING ON AND THE ESP IS ENGAGING WHEN MAKING TURNS (LEFT & RIGHT). IT ALSO FEELS EXTREMELY LOSE AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH. WHEN ON THE FREEWAY IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING ON ICE AND IF I HIT A BUMP, IT KICKS THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, SOMETIMES CLOSE TO GOING INTO THE ADJACENT LANE. WHEN I TRY TO CORRECT THIS ACT BY STEERING BACK INTO THE LANE, THE ESP IS ENGAGING. WHEN THE ESP ENGAGES IT CAUSE THE WHEEL ITS ENGAGING ON TO START BRAKING. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN GOING 65-70 MPH, WITH LOSE STEERING AND ONE SIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE BEGINS TO BRAKE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK. NOW THIS IS CONFUSING SINCE IT SAYS IN THE HANDBOOK THAT THE ESP IS ALWAYS ON AND TO TURN IT OFF YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON ON THE CENTER CONSOLE WHICH INTURN WILL DISPLAY THE LIGHT ON THE DASH. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON AND HAVE IT TURNED OF AT ALL TIMES SO THAT THE VEHICLE DRIVES IN A MANAGEABLE WAY. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE ESP ENGAGING ON TURNS FOR NO REASON. IT HAPPENS AT SPEEDS OF 5PMH, 20MPH AND ALL THE WAY UP TO 75MPH. I SENT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK AND A HALF AND RETURNED IT SAYING THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AND WERE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHY ITS DOING IT. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY FOR THE BEHAVIOR OF THE MANAGEMENT AND THEIR UNWILLINGNESS TO CORRECT THE ISSUES EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A WARRANTY AND THEY SOLD THE VEHICLE TO ME LIKE THIS 3 MONTHS AGO. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THIS ISSUE COULD BE LOOKED INTO, THANK YOU WORRIED DODGE OWNER. *TR

I OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT I PURCHASED NEW. AFTER REACHING 60,000 MILES, THE FUEL SYSTEM BEGAN OVERFILLING AND SPILLING OUT ON THE GROUND. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY OCCASIONALLY BUT NOW IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I REFUEL. WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, A STRONG BURST OF GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEM.

BEGINNING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT BEGAN SPEWING GASOLINE EVERYTIME I FILLED MY CAR AT THE GAS STATION. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS SINCE THAT TIME AND EVEN THOUGH DODGE HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM, SINCE MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT LISTED AS ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REPAIR I AM OUT OF LUCK. I FILED AN APPEAL WITH DODGE AND IT SEEMS THE CRITERIA FOR WHETHER OR NOT THE REPAIR WILL BE COVERED IS BASED ON WHETHER I AM A GOOD DODGE CUSTOMER. QUESTIONS SUCH AS DID I USE THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE, DID I OWN OTHER DODGE CARS, ETC. I THINK THAT SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, THAT DODGE SHOULD STAND BEHIND ITS CARS AND MAKE THE REPAIR. THIS ATTITUDE GUARANTEES THAT I WILL NOT BE A DODGE CUSTOMER IN THE FUTURE. *JS

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.

2006 DODGE DURANGO - EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK TO FULL, AFTER IT KICKS OFF, GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK AND GOES ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT SPRAYS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ON TO WHOEVER IS FILLING UP THE TANK. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AS GAS HAS SPRAYED ON TO MY FACE AND MOUTH. I HAVE SEEN DODGE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH EARLIER YEARS AND HAS RECTIFIED THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE FOR 2006 MODELS. I HAVE TO SLOWLY FILL UP THE TANK AND TRY TO QUIT BEFORE IT REACHES FULL TO AVOID THE GAS SPRAYING ON ME. THIS IS ONGOING AND NOT JUST A SINGLE INCIDENCE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL, THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND A RUSH OF GAS SPILLS OUT. THE DODGE DEALER SAYS IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL COVERING THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER VEHICLES. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2005 DURANGO'S BUT NOT 2006'S. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET AND FIND MANY 2006 DURANGO OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE AN EXPLOSION DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GAS SPRAYING OUT. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY WERE "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM, BUT IT HAPPENS AT EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT EVERY GAS STATION THAT I HAVE BEEN USING. *TR

PURCHASED A USED 2006 DODGE DURANGO ON JUNE 9, 2010. MILEAGE WAS 50633. FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS DURING EVERY FILL-UP, AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS, FUEL PUMP NOZZLE WILL CLICK OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL AND THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER GASOLINE WILL FORCIBLY FLOW FROM THE TANK SPILLING ABOUT A QUART OF FUEL ON THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ON THE CEMENT. THE ONLY THING WE HAVE DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE IS TO PARTIALLY FILL THE GAS TANK. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO SPEWS GAS FROM FILLER TUBE WHENEVER WE FILL IT. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A FLAP VALVE IN GAS TANK, AND SAID THE TANK SHOULD BE REPLACED (APPROX. $600). AT HER SUGGESTION WE REPORTED PROBLEM TO DODGE. THEY TALKED DIRECTLY TO SERVICE MANAGER AND AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR, MINUS A $100 DEDUCTIBLE. VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WE HAD NO EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL TIMES PREVIOUSLY, AND THAT DODGE HANDLES IT ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. GIVEN THE NIGHTMARES REPORTED BY OTHER 2006 DURANGO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, WE PAID THE $100 AND GOT A NEW TANK INSTALLED. THE NEW TANK (AND FLAP VALVE) RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. WE STILL BELIEVE THAT DODGE SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE ENTIRE REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS AND THE SEVERITY OF THE SAFETY ISSUE, BUT A $100 LOSS IS BETTER THAN A $600 LOSS FOR OUR FAMILY. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT DODGE WILL ISSUE A RECALL FOR 2006 AND LATER DURANGOS BEFORE THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR FIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHENEVER THE CONTACT REFUELED THE VEHICLE TO ITS FULL CAPACITY, FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT ONTO THE GROUND AND THE CONTACT'S CLOTHING. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OPERABLE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FUEL CAP; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN FILLING UP MY 06 DURANGO IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND AT DIFFERENT STATIONS. THE TANK WILL FILL UP AND THE PUMP WILL CUT OFF AND THEN THERE IS A BACK FLOW AND GAS POURS OUT ALL OVER THE CAR AND THE GROUND. A LOT COMES OUT AND IS DANGEROUS. *TR

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

2006 DODGE DURANGO. CONSISTENTLY, UPON FINISHING FILLING THE FUEL TANK, UP TO A QUART OF FUEL WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK. THIS POSES A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO THE SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED ISSUE AFFECTING CERTAIN 2005 DURANGOS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED FROM THE FUEL TANK DURING REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

AFTER COMPLETING REFUELING, GAS WILL FLOW OUT OF THE NOZZLE UNDER PRESSURE (ABOUT ONE OR TWO CUPS) AND SPILL ON THE CAR AND CONCRETE. THIS OCCURS ABOUT 1/2 TIMES. *TR

GAS SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK WHEN FILLING UP TANK. KNOWN INCIDENT AND RECALL ISSUED ON OTHER YEARS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND GAS OVERFLOWS AND SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN TANK IS FILLED. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD FUEL SPRAYED ON ME WHEN FUELING. *TR

AS I HAVE FOUND ONLINE, WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY DURANGO HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER OWNERS THAT ALSO CAUSED NEAR MISSES AND SOME ACCIDENTS. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE IN THE RAIN, I HIT A PUDDLE NO DEEPER THAN 3-4 INCHES AND ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS HAVE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND MANY TIMES CAME VERY CLOSE TO IMPACTING OTHER VEHICLES. THIS HAPPENS ON STRAIGHT AND TURNING SITUATIONS. AS WITH THE OTHER REPORTS, THERE ARE NO LEAKS FOUND OR DETECTED. ON TWO OCCASIONS MY REPAIR SHOP HAS CONTACTED BY PHONE DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND NO INFORMATION WAS GIVEN EXCEPT THAT THEY ALSO HAVE HAD MANY REPORTS BUT COULD OFFER NO EXPLANATION OR REPAIR INSTRUCTION. *TR

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE AND THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS FILLING, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE FORCEFULLY SPEWS FROM THE TANK FILLER NECK. SPRAYING ON THE PERSON FUELING, SPILLING FUEL ON THE GROUND, AND ON THE VEHICLE. AT FIRST IT WAS ANNOYING. NOW I FEEL IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AND ALSO AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I AM NOT DESCRIBING A SMALL BURP OF GASOLINE, BUT A LARGE AMOUNT, AT LEAST A CUP OF FUEL. I NO LONGER CAN FILL THE TANK, I HAVE TO STOP SHORT TO PREVENT THE ATTENDANT FROM BEING DRENCHED WITH GAS AND GAS BEING SPILLED ON THE GROUND. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL PUMP INDICATOR INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. FUEL BEGAN SPRAYING OUT OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE CONTACT AND THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

JUST PURCHASED A 2006 DURANGO AND FILLED WITH GAS. GAS SPRAYED ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. ONLINE POSTINGS SHOWS THIS TO BE COMMON BUT THAT ONLY 2005 MODELS WERE RECALLED, THOUGH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. AS A VEHICLE OWNER WITH A YOUNG FAMILY THIS CONCERNS ME. AS AN INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR THIS DISTURBS ME. I WILL BE TAKING TO A DEALER IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO IN SIOUX FALLS, SD. CAN ANYONE ADVISE ME OF WHAT I SHOULD SAY, SINCE I ANTICIPATE THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING GIVEN IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALL--IT BEING AN 06 AND NOT AN 05? AS AN INVESTIGATOR MYSELF, I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN ASSIST IN GATHERING MORE INFORMATION ON THIS SAFETY/ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE? THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE FILLING MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO EVERYTIME I FILL IT FULL THE NOZZLE KICKS OFF AND WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS GAS COME BACK OUT OF THE TANK COVERING THE NOZZLE AND ANYTHING WITHIN 1-3 FEET IN FRONT OF THE TANK. DROPPING ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF GAS EVERYWHERE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 LIMITED WITH A 5.7L V8 ON 13 MAY 2010. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FROM 13-26 MAY, THE VALVE ASSEMBLY FAILED TO CLOSE ON THE GAS TANK FILLER PIPE WHILE REFUELING RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE 2005 MODEL YEAR FOR DURANGOS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000. AFTER CHECKING THIS WEBSITE AND DODGE'S, NO RECALLS FOR THIS DEFECT EXIST FOR MY VIN. *TR
