WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH GAS SHOOTING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN TANK IS NEARLY FULL. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE DUE TO GAS SPILLING OUT ONTO THE GROUND POSSIBLY CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THIS IS ON A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WITH 26,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
BOUGHT CAR FROM DEALER IN ABU DHABI - UAE. AT 1500KM THE COOLING FAN WOULDN'T TURN OFF EVEN I SWITCH OFF THE CAR... SO I WAS OBLIGED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THE PROBLEM WAS THE RELAY. AT 2000KM THE ROOF HATCH WAS LEAKING!.. THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE WITH DEALER; IT TOOK THEM 2 WEEKS TO ORDER FROM GERMANY!.. *TR
WHEN FUELING 2006 DODGE DURANGO, FUEL ERUPTS OUT OF FUEL TANK FILLER WHEN TANK FILLS COMPLETELY. THIS IS IDENTICAL TO RECALL 05V034000 BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE 2006 MODEL YEAR. *TR
DURING THE FIRST EPISODE/EVENT, SUDDENLY, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF, THE WARNING CHIMES SOUNDED, THE ILLUMINATION FOR THE RADIO AND OTHER SIMILAR COMPONENTS BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF.

GAS COMES OUT OF TOP OF GAS FILL AFTER THE AUTOMATIC PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS WAS A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THE 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WHICH HAD A LIMITED RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL INLET ALL OVER ME AND THE GROUND. *TR

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN DECEMBER, 2014 ADVISING OF RECALL ON AIRBAGS DUE TO FAILURE CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY. HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OVER THE PAST FOUR MONTHS TO GET VEHICLE INTO BE REPAIRED ONLY TO BE ADVISED THAT MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED PARTS. CONTACTED CHRYSLER RECALL TODAY (04/15/15) AND NO ESTIMATED DATE FOR PARTS AVAILABLE. IN SHORT, MANUFACTURER HAS IDENTIFIED A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS AND HAS LACKED DILIGENCE IN MAKING PARTS AVAILABLE. *TR
THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL CAUSING IT'S SPEED TO INCREASE RESULTING IN CRASH INTO A FIXED STRUCTURE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 AND AFTER NEARLY 2 YEARS IN APRIL 2009 THE GAS PEDAL BEGAN TO STICK AND MAKE A CLICKING NOISE. THE DODGE DEALER FOUND THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE PEDAL ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY. NEARLY IN THE SAME TIME PERIOD AGAIN 2 YEARS LATER IN 2011, THE GAS PEDAL APPARENTLY STUCK AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
AT THE FINISH OF FUELING THE GAS TANK SPITS ABOUT A QUART OR TWO OF GAS, STRAIGHT OUT OF THE TANK. THIS JUST STARTED ABOUT 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE HAS 65000 MILES, THEREFORE OUT OF WARRANTY. I'M THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. THIS DIDN'T USE TO HAPPEN. AND THIS IS MY EXPENSE TO FIX??? THIS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE. GAS SPEWING EVERYWHERE. IN ADDITION TO THE GAS TANK I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE "INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER" REPLACED. ALL GAUGES WENT CRAZY, NO TURN INDICATORS, ALL BEEPERS BEEPING, ALL GAUGE LIGHTS ON, C…

APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO, I HAD MY DURANGO IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THEY PUT IN A NEW SOLENOID AND ELECTRICAL COMPUTER PARTS ON THE ENGINE TO THE COSTLY TUNE OF $2903. ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14TH, APPARENTLY THE ENGINE HAS NOW SPUN A BEARING/THROWN A ROD. THEY TELL ME IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE A NEW ENGINE AND ALL OF THE NEW PARTS THAT WERE PUT IN 3 WEEKS AGO WILL COME OUT WITH THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE. I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT ALL OVER AGAIN. HELP PLEASE. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR
EVERY SINGLE TIME WE FILL UP THE TANK ON MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 LIMITED GAS OVERFLOWS. THERE IS ENOUGH FORCE THAT IT USUALLY SPRAYS OUT. I ESTIMATE THAT 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE BODY OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT ONLY EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT BUT ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHER GAS STATION PATRONS! ALTHOUGH NONE IS NOTICEABLE YET, THERE WILL SURELY BE EVENTUAL PAINT DAMAGE ON THE AFFECTED ARE OF THE BODY. *TR
THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT TIE ROD BROKE AT THE KNUCKLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING, ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR OR DAMAGE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS ON A EIGHT LANE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD WITH OUT A CRASH. THE WHEEL SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE FROM THE LOOSE TIE ROD END. *TR
THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE A KNOWN GAS TANK ISSUE. I CAN NOT FILL UP WITHOUT ABOUT A CUP OR SO OF GASOLINE SPITTING OUT OVER CAR AND GROUND. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DID SPEAK WITH LOCAL DODGE DEALER ABOUT IT, BUT THEY DENIED ANY FACTORY DEFECT. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, ON SEVERAL YEARS OF THE DURANGO.
