Takata recall was placed may 2016, i had bought the vehicle in feb 2016. October 24, 2017 is when i received the post card in the mail notifying me that my vehicle is included in this recall. I have been driving this car w/o knowledge of this and when i contacted the dealership i was placed on a wait list for repair. I was told the wait is due to the parts not getting to the dealership in time. I think the entire process of notifying consumers of potential dangers is shameful!a post card? seriously?! it's just my life and those that sit up front with me. No worries....

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.

Takata recall.no parts ever available and airbag light is on.what if someone dies because of this and it could have been prevented?this recall started well over a year ago and still no parts for this major safety issue.many people have died because of this.manufacturers should be held to some standard when a safety issue of this magnitude is found, and a very tight schedule for repair be maintained.if anything happens to me or my family because of this issue, i won't stop until i own chrysler/fiat as well as making sure nhtsa is found guilty of negligence for allowing this to go on as long as it has.

I t-boned a drunk driver who ran a red light with my 2006 dodge durango.i hit hard enough to brake the frame of the vehicle in two places and i hit the dash, but my airbags did not go off.chrysler said since the airbag light was not on there were no faults in the system.if they did not go off in this accident what would it take for the air bags to go off?updated 03/01/10updated 03/22/10
On july 3, 2006 i purchased a 2006 dodge durango.not long after the purchase the air bag light started coming on shutting down the air bag system.on july 20, 2006 kari dodge in kalispell, mt worked on the air bag occupant area.not long after the air bag shut down again.although not mentioned on repair log they again tried to repair the air bags, on august 2, 2006.again they shut down.on september 21, 2007 i again took the car to jack of diamondsin longview, tx as i have moved to texas since purchasing the car.they again attempted to fix the air bags to no avail.so i took it back to jack of diamonds where they again attempted to fix the air bags on october 16, 2006.to date i still have airbags that are shutting down whenever they want.i have contacted daimler chrysler with this problem in an attempt to return the car as a lemon with a safety defect.they are researching my situation.i am not sure if anyone else is having this problem but just this last week i had to take my 63 yr old mother to a funeral in mississippi and guess what they air bags shut down again.this is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately as i do not feel that i can trust this car to protect me in an accident.i also do not feel that i should be inconvenienced with this vehicle any more.
My abs light & brake light come on, and my passenger air bag turns off.when this happens, the vehicle becomes difficult to navigate and the back end get tight.this has happened 4 times, and the last time was on a busy highway, and i was lucky to miss causing an accident.we took the vehicle in on 4/18/06 and had all recall work done, and the vehicle still is not working properly.this last instance scared me to the point i do not feel safe driving the vehivle.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While driving approximately 55 mph, the passenger side air bag sensor illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.updated 9/8/14the vehicle was repaired. Updated 1/7/2015
At approximately 1:30 pm today, i was driving my 2006 dodge durango when both side airbags deployed without the vehicle being struck.we were in traffic, moving at a rate of about 25 mph and had just completed a left turn.there was no exterior damage to the vehicle.the durango was towed to the dealer for inspection.there were two passengers and a driver in the suv at the time of the deployment.
Since july 2015 my durango has been stalling.whether i am turning, stopped at a light it turns off, but turns back on.it has been pulling, acts like it wants to turn off while i am driving, like i am losing power.alternator has been replaced, throttle body, factory spark plugs have been installed and several oil changes.no one can seem to fix the problem.i have had several mechanics look at it and they tell me it is one thing and fix it and the problem continues.another tells me something else and fix it and it continues.
Approximately during summer of 2013, upon starting engine, the ignition would "stick" when key was turned forward.durango would have to be turned off and key taken out of ignition switch to try it again.then, upon shifting into reverse and backing up, the vehicle would come to an abrupt halt and be immovable for a time, usually until putting into park and re-starting vehicle.this is when the malfunction indicator light came on.we had to have vehicle towed at which time the wheels were locked in place, causing black skid marks from its point of tow to tow truck. The auto shop replaced the emergency brake which was "stuck or locked in position".malfunction indicator light went off temporarily.it came back on again in august, 2014.took to auto shop to diagnose.after 677.74 dollars in repairs, light still remains on.
1st time turned truck off got out keys in hand shut door heard shiftingfrom undertruck,.truck was empty and no keys.. 2nd.on hwy going 65 came to exit.slowed down to 35 service 4 wheel drivelite came on then went to turn a right hand turn and truck shifted into four low. Happened again while towing my trailer..been doing this everyday now shifts into 4 lo easily now and stays foelonger4 periods of vtime.
While vehicle is parked there is a noise from transmission switching in and out of all wheel drive and switching back to 4 wheel drive by itself. Engine is not running. This happens when parked only so far. I'm afraid could switch during driving. It has happened also when hitting the unlock button on the key fob. I originally thought another car was having trouble starting beside my truck. I soon realized it was my vehicle making this noise issue?
My vehicle says svc 4wd then goes into 4lo & 4lock without me touching it. It locks up & switches on its own while im driving. Switches into 4wd while it is parked & the truck is off. When u use theunlock remote it switches it also. I don't know what is causing this & the mechanic says no codes show up even when the svc 4wd light is on.
The contact leases a 2006 dodge durango.the vehicle has been to the dealer several times for nhtsa campaign id number 07v092000 (electrical system: instrument panel); however, the failure has not been corrected.the vehicle constantly fails to start, accelerates on its own, and the cruise control does not work.the dealer continues to state that there are no failures.the manufacturer agreed with the dealer and would not provide any assistance.the current mileage was 28,000 and failure mileage was 15,000. Updated 01/17/08the vehicle repeatedly does not start and sometimes when the vehicle does start it does not go into gear and once the key is removed from the ignition the vehicle still continues to run.updated 01/11/08
No crank to my engine, security system just locked the car up. Been told to drive the car to dealership for them to fix it. It cant be done with the dealer because i refuse to take my car to the dealership. After reviewing everything possible i am quite frustrated with the fact that i know it is more than likely something to do with my transponder. I have never really had any other problems with this car, other than normal wear and tear issues.this is something that i see all too common across the internet and yet dodge is not answering the questions nor trying to fix it for the consumer. This is why i will never purchase another dodge car or truck again.
This is the third time this has happened while i was driving.the air bag lights will come on & off while driving.(both the passenger & driver sides lights seemed to alternate.) this time also the 4 wheel lock light blinked on & off during the 50 mile trip going 70 mph.when i turned on my wipers there was a chime/ding.once when i rolled down the window the wipers came one.another trip two months ago when the airbag light was acting up & i turned on my blinker to change lanes the wipers came on.i also just realized that the door locks no longer unlock when i turn the vehicle off.i have to manually do it now.also it used to automatically lock the doors when i put the vehicle in drive and that has been acting up periodically. The icing on the cake was yesterday when i went to pull into a parking spot and the vehicle completely shut off and all the warning lights on the dash illuminated, i just took it to briggs dodge in topeka, ks and they cannot duplicate these issues and show nothing when they hooked it up.they told me that dodge has a "star case" on file and that states that drivers are causing these problems to occur.(i totally disagree& think this is a cop out) they are telling me i generate too much static electricity!i find this very hard to believe. I am very discouraged and frustrated.i guess when someone is killed in an accident from one of these failing, then maybe they will own up to the problems and fix them.
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.
When my fuel tank is empty and i refill the tank, after the pump clicks off gas pours out of the tank.this has been happening for about 7 weeks.also sometimes when starting the vehicle it doesn't start but continues to turn itself over and over even after the key is shut off.this happens sporadically and dodge refuses to fix either one although the vehicle is still under warranty, because it cannot be duplicated at the shop.
While trying to start the vehicle from the parking lot the ignition switch would not turn. I had to insert the key in the switch 10 to 12 times before it would turn. I tried to unlock the steering wheel by turn it the best could to get the ignition to turn but it still would not turn. This happened on more than one occasion to myself and my wife. In 2012 we had to after the situation continued we had the ignition replace, a cost of almost $1200.00. I want to know if this was caused by what happened in the latest recall of over 1.4 million vehicles? ...updated 09/11/15 the vehicle was repaired. Updated 09/29/15
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.
Recall # 07v092000 there is a recall for 2006 durango but my vin number isnt one listed. However it is having the exact same issue. I think that this that this in number got left out of the recall.

At random times, including while sitting in the driveway, the transfer case on my 2006 dodge durango awd will engage the 4wd. It can happen while sitting in the driveway when you insert the key and before you start the engine. It also makes the clicking sound as if it is engaging when you unlock the doors (possible electrical problem?) it can also happen when driving while turning a corner, such as the sharp corners in a drive-thru. The effect is such that one wheel locks up as if one front wheel has the emergency brake on. When going straight there is no issue.i have researched on the internet and found forums where others are having the same exact problem. The problem is that it is random and intermittent, and difficult to reproduce at the dealership. Often their response is to simply replace one or more of the three main components without verifying that is the issue. This can be quite expensive for the owner and frustrating after spending large sums of money and the issue remains unsolved. I feel it is a safety issue because an inexperienced driver might have this issue in a drive-thru, and to overcome the lack of movement after pressing the gas pedal, they may rev the engine. This might overcompensate and cause the vehicle to dart forward into another car, or even into the building as the wheels are turned to go around the corner. If the 4wd disengages at the revving of the engine, this could also cause the vehicle to suddenly accelerate into another vehicle, pedestrian, or building.
Have had instrument cluster replaced, after having recall for interior lighting performed the auto feature of power door unlock ceased to work. That was about 3 years ago. Now the auto unlock and lock feature have both quit working once again. Will not reprogram with procedure in owners manual. Feel the instrument cluster will need replacing again. I do have extended factory warranty to 70k miles, but am concerned if this keeps happening, what action do i take?
My dash panel lights do not work. There was a recall on other models of my year but my vin was included. This needs to bee looked at.
I have 06 dodge durango,wiper come one and off ,head lights blink on and off, there was a recall in a part in dash so i took it to dealer to repair and to also fix light and wipers and they said maybe recall part fixed everything,well it didn't so i brought it back and they cant find problem,now lights still blink wipers still come on and off and heater and air doesn't blow now they said im not under warranty for the part that it needs ,so they want to charge me 430.00 for a 10.00 part so i bought it myself and put it on and it still doesn't work .i have ex. Warranty and was told if the lights got worse to bring it back in well i did and they said they cant help me,well i fill like im just getting a run around and my durango is a recall itself.
Been losing power to the car while driving which cause me to lose my steering ability and the 4 wheel drive keeps kicking on and off while driving plus the wiper motor works sometimes and sometimes it donā€™t. The navigation system comes on and off whenever it wants to and the rear end keeps popping
Transmission shifts by itself into 4wd. This happens while driving, and when the car is sitting unattended, with the ignition off. The transfer case makes an audible noise, then the wheels become very hard to turn while driving. This could easily result in a loss of control of the vehicle.
While driving at night i tried to use my brights, but the windshield wipers would keep coming on instead.when the brights did come on then they wouldn't turn off.there are also times when i use the left turn signalthat the right signal would come on and the two signals would flicker back and forth.
On 6/14/2015 i was about to back my trailer into my yard, when my gear shift column selector locked in park. I depressed the brake pedal and it would not budge. Additionally, my brake lights are no longer working. Prior to all of these problems i had to replace my ignition for it was locking and would not turn to the onposition or accessories position. It cost me $400 dollars for a new ignition to be installed by the dealer and now i have worse problems than before. So i began researching and here is my findings:1) safetyrecall g28 -ignition/park shift interlock in 2001 and 2002 models for many vehicles which included the durango. 2) the brake transmission shift interlock connector has malfunctioned will not allow the shifter to move.so if the dealer knows about these recalls why didn't they fix them free of charge.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. After the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags), the vehicle failed to lock electronically. The vehicle was taken back to a dealer where it was diagnosed that some numbers were erased when the previous recall repair was performed. The dealer also stated that the key could not be reset because it was not a pair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 280,000.
My vehicle started an electrical problem. It's switching my tires from all wheel drive to either 4low or 4lock while i'm driving and i can't hardly get my vehicle to turn while driving when it does this. I had my engine on and in park and heard the noise from underneath. It's the same exact noise that's made when i switch from awd to either 4low or 4wd. This issue is occurring while i'm driving and i feel it mainly when i'm making a turn.
Purchased 2006 dodge durango june, 2007 august, 2007-vehicle started violently jerking -engine light came on-was told it was the cam sensor.instrument cluster also defective and replaced.electrical problem, causing door locks to malfunction replaced.december 6, 2007, car jerking again-engine light came on - drove it to the dealership - was told it was the transmission- front pump and torque converter replaced.december 18, 2007 mileage not reading accurately-told thatthe instrument cluster that was installed in august was ?faulty?. Replaced again. January 2, 2008, vehicle violently jerking again- dying in the road, if over 40mph.engine light on-dealer replaced the cam sensor. -very hesitant that my car was become a threat. February 22, 2008, vehicle jerking, then died on the road at 45mph -able to start it, drove to the dealer-was told it was the pcm.pcm replaced -cam sensor also.complained to chrysler, trying to get answers for this ?lemon?.was told this time that they were 100% they fixed the problem. Dealer gave me written ?good will? extended warranty on my vehicle for 5,000 extra miles.april 15, 2008. Traveling 45mph- car started violently jerking again and died in the middle of the highway.power steering gone- struggled to veer of and slow down, losing control.this time, a bus was behind me and swerved, laid on the horn and avoided hitting me.was able to make it to the shoulder of the road-called the dealership.towed my car.have had enough of this vehicle -will not put my family in danger one more time!!!!.need to be free and clear of all financial responsibility of this car.dealer now tells me that they are ?hard-wiring? the pcm directly to the cam sensor.they told me that there is a ?glitch? within the wiring that they will simply bypass by putting in a direct connection, thus manipulating original wiring codes..i will not put myself and 3 children in this situation again, and refuse to pick up my vehicle!
I first noticed a problem when leaving work by simply unlocking my 06 durango (all wheel drive/ 4 wheel drive)with the key fob the transfer case control motor starts shifting the truck in and out from awd to 4wd and i haven't even opened the door!! as the weeks pass it does this several more times but what is more unnerving is thatas i am driving at hwy speeds, 60 to 70 mph, or any speed really, my "4 wheel low" light on the dash will start to flicker as if it is trying to shift into 4 wheel low un-commanded. After searching several forums i find this to be a common chronic electrical problem with durangos and a huge safety risk. Please understand that max speed for a 4 wheel drive vehicle that is in 4 wheel low is about 10 to 15 mph, the gear ratio is extremely low and intended for maximum traction when off road. If this vehicle shifts into 4 wheel low at 70 mph all 4 wheels will come to a stop and the driver will most likely loose total control. At that speed this is a dangerous combination. I have read of this happening to durangos with serious damage and huge expense for the owner. This very scenario happened to a co-workers wife with his kids in their 06 durango, luckily she was only traveling at about 30 to 35 mph and no accident occurred.now my key fob wont even open the door, it acts as if its dead or broken. I have to use the key to unlock the truck manually which sets off the alarm every time i unlock the door. The same electrical problem i started with is tied to the 4 wheel drive electrically, another common chronic problem.my local dodge dealer denies having any knowledge of this problem or a fix and from what i have read dodge denies it as well. Is it going to take a family's death from one of these vehicles for dodge to own up to this and recognize they have a very wide spread problem over several years manufacturing!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that the battery failed and was replaced. Afterwards, the tire pressure and cargo indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer (perry chrysler dodge jeep ram, located at 2340 national city blvd national city, ca 91950 888-707-2601) where it was informed that the codes needed to be reset. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 123,000.
My dash lights stopped working and the dealer statesthere isn't a technical bulletin on this problem or a recall.
I have an 06 durango with out the chip key, i stick my key into the ignition to start it but it won't turn as if it's the wrong key or the steering wheel lock is enabled. It happened more twice a day over the last week it happens after every third time i turn on my truck but with a little giggling of the key and steering wheel it went. Then last night at 6:30am i stop by moms house to get me a coffee on my way home.. Get back to my truck and the key just wouldn't turn my ignition... Nothing worked, giggle the key or reefing on the steering wheel... Finally after a little over an hour of trying i finally managed to turn the ignition after jamming the key in there pretty hard a few times... Anyways i managed to get home since i was still bout half hour away at the time..
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while activating the turn signals, the hazard lights would activate instead. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact also mentioned that on multiple occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly stall.in addition, while attempting to stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal, the brakes had malfunctioned increasing the stopping distant needed to stop the vehicle. Also, when the vehicle was in park, the vehicle would roll away. The dealer repaired the brakes but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Awd 5.7 hemi, the 4lo blinking while driving on both highway and city street and when i unlock my doors you could hear something engauging when the vehical was off. The 4lo light flashes and you can hear it switch under the car even when it is off. When, i unlock my doors you can hear it again.
2006 dodge grand caravan sxt, safety problems with lift gate when opening with key faub; lift gate opens and immediately goes down (when stationary). If needing to get groceries, or anything from the rear of van, need to have one person holding the lift gate, so the other person can remove items from van, to avoid the liftgate crashing down on you (causing injury and inability for vehicle to function safely). Also, problem with left sliding door lock; does not lock and unlock with key faub; have to manually lock and unlock, even though the rest of the doors lock/unlock, with the key faub.couple of years ago, put groceries in the left side of sliding door and this door would not close, electronically, or manually. Had to drive home in the rain with the left side sliding door, wide open. Believe the hatch lift support part for right and left need replacing, however, the left sliding lock/unlock feature may. Or may not be associated with the electrical problems. It leaves a consumer to get a questionable diagnosis from dealers, or mechanics, who see this as an opportunity to nflate the problem with inaccurate diagnosis and overinflated charges, to take advantage of a consumer.
Vehicle has stalled several times in the middle of the road as well as not starting at irregular moments.i have taken it to the dodge dealership and auto repair shop. Each time to have something different fixed, first time it was battery and leads, next it was alternator, then new belt , and after each fix the problem would come back, finally an honest mechanic explained that i had to remove leads to battery for 5 minutes before car could crank again.this makes no sense.he checked cam sensor and crankshaft sensor - all good too.this has been a problem for over two years.the worst time was when i was not principal city street at rush hour with 3 children in the vehicle.of course, i was more worried about getting the children out of the stalled vehicle and safely to the side of the street before pushing the vehicle to a nearby dodge dealership.it seems older dodge durangos like mine from 2006 have this come problem.why hasn't a source to this problem been identified and a manufacturer recall solution been provided?twice i have had the vehicle in a dodge dealership and new expenses for different things were prescribed, and none fixed the problem.must the public wait until some dies on the road when this problem which leads to stalled vehicleshave more accidents and then deaths?
Transfer case can be heard engaging even when vehicle is locked and unoccupied. Engaging is sometimes triggered by the remote when locking/unlocking doors. 4 lo light started to flash then my back wheels locked up when i was driving 70 mph on the bypass with children in the truck. It is a miracle we didn't roll over, but another truck was forced off of the road while i used two lanes to try to control the durango. I took the truck to the dealer and no one could find anything wrong with it (no active code)... It drove fine for a few days then the srvc 4x4 light came on and the truck switched into neutral while trying to cross a street... I couldn't move in the middle of a busy intersection. Towed the truck to the shop. Shop stated they didn't know what to fix. Still no active code, truck seems fine. I drove it a few more days and now it has slipped into a lower gear. Cannot travel over 35 mph.. Parking, reverse and tight turns are very difficult. My take off speed is nearly nonexistent. Truck shifted back into neutral on its own as i was making a right hand turn. I shut off and restarted the truck three times. All three times it sounded like a stun gun sparking behind my dash and it lit up with a white light from inside. The instrument panel cluster has failed. Recall g07: instrument panel cluster: known to overheat and catch fire. The recall was performed on my truck in 2007, there was no warranty on the replacement part. Dealership will not help. I am so sorry i bought this truck.please... Why is chrysler only responsible for fixing a recall one time/vehicle? they know it will fail again. It did, has and will continue to fail. Numerous owners have the same problem... Replacing transfer cases, cpu modules and their problems do not go away because their problem is a difficult to diagnose recalled instrument panel cluster that will never code and tell on itself.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph down hill the brakes were depressed and smoke emitted from the brakes and smelled as if they were on fire. The contact was forced to drive onto the emergency lane.the check engine and air bag lights began to illuminate intermittently. The contact was concerned that there was no air bag in the vehicle. The brakes were currently making a grinding noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer repeatedly where they continued to turn the warning lights off; however, the manufacturer was not notified. The dealer took the vehicle to another dealership for diagnostic testing and advised the contact that the catalytic converter failed and she would be responsible for half of the repair cost. The failures occurred immediately after she purchased the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 2 and the current mileage was 91,000.
I have a 2006 dodge durango, bought it used about 4 years ago.about a year and half ago, approximately march of 2013, the vehicle started to stall while driving.it happened at all speeds and after it happening multiple times we figured out that it happened when it was wet/raining out.this is extremely scary and dangerous when going 70mph on the highway...to have your vehicle jerk numerous times and then completely shutoff (aka no power at all!).we have spent a few thousand dollars since spring of 2013 trying to fix the issue.we worked closely with our dealer to figure out the exact problem...figured out it was electrical (possibly when the windshield wiper are used...)but that was about as far as we got.some of the things they found and/or fixed or replaced are as follows: wiring that was frayed, re-ground numerous wires, replaced a handful of sensors, resealed connections between electrical components and main module (as well as resealed the boxes themselves since water was found in them), replaced the electrical module ($2k), and replaced entire electrical box(which included having to re-wire)...found a used one since brand new would have been $1200! .i have recently seen that there was a petition to the government to investigate (and hopefully recall) vehicles that have situations similar to what i have described above but they reference vehicles manufactured 2007 and forward but our 2006 is having the same issues!! since it has been to the dealer last (less than a month ago) we have not had the problem but there was a stretch over the winter where it didn't happen at all either so i am not convinced it is fixed...it seems the dealer mechanic is about out of ideas and so are we...
Upon turning into parking lot of local store, car shut down and system locked up.no power steering and no engine light came on.was able to steer car to parking space, stop and restart vehicle.this is the second occurrence in 2 weeks.same scenario, going slow in parking lot and vehicle shuts down.another problem has come up now when after i start the vehicle in the morning, it surges from 1000 rpm to 2000 back and forth for about 10-15 seconds.my questions for the durango makers is when will their be a total recall on these suv's?

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.
Ignition switch locks up frequently. Vehicle stalls out during stops, turns and backing up.
While using my left turn signal, my right blinkers came on. While using my right turn signal, my left blinkers came on. This has happened several times within the past year. More recently, my wipers would work intermittently. Also, sometimes my blinkers don't work at all.

2006 dodge durango has had multiple engine & electrical problems within 6 month period.first car lost all power while driving at 35 mph, took all strength to get car to shoulder of the road w/o power steering & locked steering column.local mechanic said that computer was fried & covered under emissions warranty.towed to dodge dealership who said there was not a computer problem, just cam shaft needed replacing & recall on instrument panel cluster.after $450 repair for cam shaft & tow, a week later car started having electrical problems.aprox every other time i would start car, the radio & electrical display (clock) on radio would not work--appeared to not get power.six weeks later, check engine light came on again.by this time, original dodge dealership had been closed, so went to another dodge dealer for service.they found another wiring problem with engine.could not identify problem with audio/clock.check engine light went on about 2 months later.this time local mechanic advised it was a fuel pump problem.replaced fuel pump, checked fuse & still could not identify problem with audio/display.9 days later went to start car in the am, and electrical seemed to sputter (lights, instrument pane, wipers, radio) but car would not start.starter does not appear to be engaging the engine at all.diagnosed as started motor problem, starter motor replaced, but car still not fixed.then told battery terminals & cables needed to be replaced.car now starts, but audio/display issue still unresolved.concern that there is a larger problem with the electrical system of this vehicle, which is the root cause of all recent problems.getting scared to drive this car on interstate or in any level of traffic for fear that it will stall out or lose power during operation again.the car only has 42,000 miles on it.first problem started with 37,000 miles on vehicle.i hate this car!!!!!
Right turn work in rear, but not in the front, left side work opposite, head light left work on low, but not on high, right work opposite, fog lights do not work.
Alternator ground burned. Melted terminal/nut to the nub, burned through the cable and connector, plastic shielding of other harness shielding melted. Significant heat/ probable fire present.
The traction light and service 4wd lights stay on, you can hear the 4wd kicking in and out when the car is sitting the driveway. Dodge acts like they have no idea what is causing this problem. You can google the symptoms and everybody that has a 04 to 06 dodge is having the same issue. This should be something covered under a recall, there is to many people having the same issues.
My 2006 dodge durango caught on fire four weeks ago while my girlfriend was driving it. The truck had only been running a total of tens. It appeared to have started on the driver side of the truck. Once i discovered the recall on the truck for the instrument panel overheating, i contacted chrysler, and they sent a local contracted inspector out to take picture. Then a week later they sent me a letter stating that they were not at fault, and there was nothing they could do for me.
Upon first purchasing at a dealership the purchase was as a used vehicle, so no warranty is or was in place. A few months later when filling the tank at a gas station the first incident of propulsion of gasoline forcing out of the tank, first happened. Then a couple of times when trying to start the vehicle the motor would not start. Using an obd to check codes there was no error codes but still ended up clearing it anyways which allowed the vehicle to start (which means its the computer). Now, the front passenger window is down and will not go back up, checked the motor and the motor for the window is fine, but checking the switch it would only unlock door, not allow lock and absolutely no window control at all from either the passenger door switch or driver side switch. When looking at the switches turns out that the circuit boards are not soldered. The only way to get any of the problems fixed for anyone now would be for a recall, because the year being 2014 no warranty will cover any problems that i or anyone else is facing!
We have a 2006 dodge durango.when you turn the key to the on position the vehicle would start by itself without going to the start position.this happens every time you do this.the dealership replace the ignition switch which cost us $300.

During times of low temperatures (below 40 degrees) the following occurs intermittently.the radio controls on the steering wheel do not work properly, the radio volume spontaneously goes down, the headlights and dash lights flash off and on, the windshield wipers will come on, the indicator lights for the airbag indicate the airbag is not activated. I am sure there are more glitches; however these are the ones that stand out. This morning, however, the cruise control would not stop accelerating the vehicle.the outside temperature is approximately 22 degrees.i set the cruise for 75, when i reviewed the speed, the vehicle had accelerated to 95 and the cruise would not shut off either by the cruise control controls or by braking.in fact the brakes had difficulty slowing the vehicle down to 75 and when released the vehicle would again accelerate.when placed into neutral, the vehicle continued revving and when placed in drive it again accelerated.when i was finally able to slow the vehicle by placing it in neutral and continue to push hard on the brakes, i maneuvered the vehicle to the side of the road and turned the vehicle off.it then would not re-start.the ignition wouldn't turn over for approximately 5 minutes.once restarted the vehicle appears to be working fine.i reported this to the dealer this morning.they were already aware of the previous irregularities and advised they would be talking to the support center today.they have already replaced the clock spring in the vehicle and that did not correct the problem.they have advised that they are aware there is a problem but they do not know how to fix it.
Tipm / pcm (computer modules) these items are affecting most dodge vehicles that is listed already for recalls only in 2011-2013 and one earlier. This is happening in a lot of dodges, mine is 1d4hb48n76f[xxx] (2006 durango 4.7 slt). They will stop running anywhere, it shuts the fuel pump off where the vehicles no longer gets gas and you have a full tank. It is only a computerized dealer fix. Their recall for some vehicles will fix my 2006 also by the simply relay bypass that they are installing.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Turn signal switch malfunctions when it is cold and wet out. Will indicate right turn when turning left and vise versa, high beam also malfunctions and will sometimes turn on washer fluid, wiper function also not working right when others fail. Seems to be when it is wet and below freezing temperatures. Similar complaints all over internet.
When fueling up gasoline will shoot out all over the ground & vehicle.i now have rust starting.there are many others that have this problem too so why is there not a recall?i would think the epa would make dodge make this a mandatory recall.luckily when i had the vehicle in at the dealership for all the electrical issues that they will not acknowledge is their responsibility to fix; the dealer did say he could order the part to fix that.it would be covered at no cost to me.then why wasn't it recalled if they knew about this problem?interesting?! i am thinking that i may never buy a dodge again. I am sure the electrical issues are their responsibility too.please help!
As i was exiting a highway, my 2006 dodge durango suddenly stalled out.the engine light came on after it stalled.i lost control of steering and was unable to brake.i nearly crashed into the car in front of me, and was barely able to turn the steering wheel enough to run into the curb to stop my vehicle! i was not able to re-start it and had to be towed.while waiting for police to arrive, i was nearly rear-ended multiple times.it was towed to a shop and the mechanic was able to start it up with no problem the next morning.he checked everything, and ran all diagnostic tests - all came back showing no problems.there is clearly a problem - and there are man, many, many complaints about it all over the internet.if i had been on the highway when this happened, i could have been in a very serious accident and could have been killed, or killed someone else, since i lost complete control of the vehicle and was unable to steer or brake.is it going to take a fatality before this is recalled and fixed??????i am scared to death to drive it now!
Vehicle stalls or does not start after use.
Electrical problems, during cold weather 40 degrees and lower the wiper blades & lights, interior & exterior activate on their own.
We have a 2006 dodge durango and we have several issues with it.the instrument cluster stopped working along with the radio, a/c, wipers, windows and everything in the interior.the instrument cluster was fixed during a recall.we called chrysler and they told us that it was fixed once for the recall and they would not replace it again.the dealership want to replace the cluster again to fix the issue, but i'm concerned about it happening again while my wife and children are on the road again with no lights!!!!
My wife was driving the vehicle on a country road about 35 mph when the engine died and she had no power steering or brakes and had to drift to the side of the road.when she tried to restart the car the dash lights would light but the starter would not crank the engine.shop says the computer has failed.
1] engine stalls out during stops, turning, and reversing.2] ignition will not turn to on position occasionally.
We were driving our 2006 dodge durango for about 5 minutes when all of a sudden the dash board lights started flashing. My husband was able to veer off the road on a side street and coast down into a parking lot. By this point the car was completely unresponsive.smoke started to come out of the vehicle vents on the dashboard. We thought maybe a part broke at first. My husband opened the hood and there was no visible fires and not a lot of smoke.smoke started coming more and more quickly out of the vents.we got our 3 children out of the car. By this point smoke was billowing out. My husband ran into a building and called for help. The business gave us a fire extinguisher and called the fire department.as my husband ran back to the durango flames he saw the dashboard start to collapse. Next thing we knew flames were flying up the front window. He used the fire extinguisher on it. The fireman arrived and helped make sure the fire was completely out.
Hi, my name is [xxx] , and i need some help. January 9th 2007 i purchased a 2006 dodge durango from buddy jones ford in greenwood mississippi. On may 31st 2008, the truck burn to the ground. This occurred while my girlfriend was driving it; she barely made it out of the truck in time. Needless to say i was at a lost of understanding how this could have happen. So i immediately started surf the internet to find information about this brand of vehicle. I discovered that this particular suv had an instrument panel cluster that would overheat and sometimes ignite into flames. I also discovered that there were many other consumers that had experienced they're dodge durango's burning to ground, while just sitting in the garage.so i then contacted chrysler to plead my case. At this time they told me about the recall, and that my vehicle was one of the vehicles in question. Then they agreed to send a local contracted inspector to check out my vehicle. The conclusion of his inspection was that the truck burned through no fault of chrysler's do not have the resources to prove them wrong, or have it inspected myself. My insurance had lapsed at that time, and i know that is my responsibility. But now i am stuck with a truck that is not usable, and the company that financed it is looking for they're monthly payment. With i can not afford because i had to purchase another vehicle to get back and forward to work. So i have done a volunteer repossession and they will pick the truck up soon. Once they get it i still will be forced to pay for it through garnishment, which i can't afford. In the other cases in which this same truck burned to the ground, chrysler determined that it was not they're fault even with such a recall on them.vehicles do not just burn up for no reason, so please help deal with chrysler. Also, i did not receive a recall notice until june 16, 2008. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The dash board lights/ warning lights go off and on, and the odometer and rpm gauges bounce from zero to like 5000 rpm while driving. The ac and radio and dvd and navigation all shut off and on also while driving. I took it to crown motors on june 21 and had a diagnostic tests ran and nothing came up all was fine. They told me to bring it back in when it did it and to leave it run when i go inside to let them know. I took back down there on june 24 as it was doing it all again. They immediately took it back to the shop and stated you definitely have something wrong. They told after an hour that they could only get the reading up to the ecm and anything after that it is not showing up that it is dead. They called the lead engineer at dodge to try and find a solution. I talked to them on june 25 and still no answer. They told me they had to put $10 in gas and was going to charge that to me as they lost the signal to diagnostic sue to turning the vehicle off. They drove around four different times to try and reestablish the problem and has not happened. I called them today june 27,2013 and told i could come and pick up the vehicle as they can not get the vehicle to do the problems again to reestablish the connections. They also said if it happens again to just bring it back over so they can reestablish the connection for the problems. I know that there has been recalls for the electrical system on these vehicles. They dealer told they were all closed out and my vehicle was not one of them. Still have not resolve the problems with my 2006 durango. I do not feel comfortable driving my family around in it due to a possible fire like some have had or the engine shutting off going down the highway.

Intermittent and spontaneous activation of the windshield wipers and washers during operation of the steering wheel under normal driving conditions. Steering wheel sound system controls work erratically or in reverse of normal function. Ignition remains engaged until switch is recycled.seems to be low temperature related( happens more often in the cooler am). Vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times for repair attempts. Clock spring,multifunction switch,individual audio controls, and the front control module have been replaced under warranty by the dealer with out correcting the problem. Dealer states that chrysler will not authorize additional diagnosis. I am concerned that this is an electrical short in the steering column that may result in air bag deployment, or a vehicle fire, and injuries to my family. Chrysler reps will not address the problem when i have repeatedly attempted to contact them via their hotline at 1-800-992-1997.

1st time turned truck off got out keys in hand shut door heard shiftingfrom undertruck,.truck was empty and no keys.. 2nd.on hwy going 65 came to exit.slowed down to 35 service 4 wheel drivelite came on then went to turn a right hand turn and truck shifted into four low. Happened again while towing my trailer..been doing this everyday now shifts into 4 lo easily now and stays foelonger4 periods of vtime.
Transfer case motor actuator engages upon unlocking the doors using the wireless remote entry remote, also when using my trunk opening button from the remote sometimes the transfer case motor will actuate the truck will sometimes shift itself into 4 wheel lock and 4-wheel low sitting at a red light while i'm in drive this cannot happen at speed it creates an immediate safety concern because it can create a complete loss of power to the vehicle causing an imminent crash. By the transfer case engaging 4-wheel drive when the vehicle is at highway speeds it creates a violent collision between the transmission output shaft and the input shaft of the transfer case causing transmission and and transfer case failure and loss of power to the vehicle what can cause a collision this has been an ongoing issue for years from 2002 at least 2008 dodge durangos and dodge rams i am a ford stst senior master certified technician and i cannot believe that this issue has not been addressed by the government yet this is completely uncalled for and dodge needs to be held responsible for the electrical problems related to this malfunctionthe problem lies within the electrical wiring in the module between the 4 wheel drive switch inside the cab of the truck and the body control module then it's splices off and piggybacks to the transfer case control module somewhere between those three legs there is a problem whether it be in the module the wiring or both and it needs to be addressed immediately. Beings that i am a technician, i have already replaced my transfer case control motor actuator and fully examined all the wiring running to it and from it and found no shorts to ground no frayed wires or ground faults this is simply a computer related malfunction and during the malfunction it does not throw a dtc for a check engine light so there's for a tech to scan.
While driving, my vehicle is switching into 4-lock on its own. The light comes on and all wheels start turning together. Has one time made it so it wouldn't move.had to turn off and restart vehicle.has happened when i was driving slowly on city street.happened another time, 4-lock lights flashing and moaning sound of tires moving at same time.did shut off on its own.
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 youworried dodge owner.
Awd 5.7 hemi, the 4lo blinking while driving on both highway and city street and when i unlock my doors you could hear something engauging when the vehical was off. The 4lo light flashes and you can hear it switch under the car even when it is off. When, i unlock my doors you can hear it again.
While driving down the highway, without any warning, my 2006 dodge durango stalled out.i still had radio and power steering, so i pulled over to the side of the road.i restarted my durango, the check engine light was on, but was able to continue without any further issues.the same type of issue happens sporadically, regardless of weather or speed.there are times, after sitting at a light or stop sign, when you press the gas to go the gears are slow to engage and actually start moving.sometimes the durango shifts roughly as you accelerate or decelerate.as time has gone on the problem has become more persistent.i finally took my durango in to our mechanic and he replaced the egr valve and the throttle position sensor.within 2 weeks of these parts being replaced, my durango again began stalling out.i did have the durango stall out twice, back to back, losing all power in the vehicle, including power steering.i managed to get home and called the mechanic.this time he replaced the throttle control module.the durango is still stalling out and sometimes very slow to engage gears when starting off from a stopped position.this problem was supposedly address in the 2004-2005 models and corrected.i am afraid to drive my durango as it is not reliable; this is an accident waiting to happen.clearly the problem has not been fixed.
The dash board lights/ warning lights go off and on, and the odometer and rpm gauges bounce from zero to like 5000 rpm while driving. The ac and radio and dvd and navigation all shut off and on also while driving. I took it to crown motors on june 21 and had a diagnostic tests ran and nothing came up all was fine. They told me to bring it back in when it did it and to leave it run when i go inside to let them know. I took back down there on june 24 as it was doing it all again. They immediately took it back to the shop and stated you definitely have something wrong. They told after an hour that they could only get the reading up to the ecm and anything after that it is not showing up that it is dead. They called the lead engineer at dodge to try and find a solution. I talked to them on june 25 and still no answer. They told me they had to put $10 in gas and was going to charge that to me as they lost the signal to diagnostic sue to turning the vehicle off. They drove around four different times to try and reestablish the problem and has not happened. I called them today june 27,2013 and told i could come and pick up the vehicle as they can not get the vehicle to do the problems again to reestablish the connections. They also said if it happens again to just bring it back over so they can reestablish the connection for the problems. I know that there has been recalls for the electrical system on these vehicles. They dealer told they were all closed out and my vehicle was not one of them. Still have not resolve the problems with my 2006 durango. I do not feel comfortable driving my family around in it due to a possible fire like some have had or the engine shutting off going down the highway.

I have two issues with my durango. During fueling the pump does not shut off causing an overflow of gas on the ground, on my shoes, etc. This is an ongoing issue that has been happening since we purchased the vehicle. My mechanic thinks it is a sensor issue but dodge has not recalled the vehicle to fix it. The second issue is i can take my key out of the ignition while the engine and ignition are in the run position, lock the car and take the key with me and the engine will run like the key is in the ignition.

Vehicle ran hot on this date,follwing the next day itshowed no problem. For the past 2 year at a stand still for about 5-10 minutes vehicle gage monitor is going up showing signs of running hot. I would imediately shut the engine off for about 1 minute. Then crank back up. The gage would go down back to normal status. If i come to another stop at a stop light it will go up again. Took vehicle to the shop several times to get it checked, accessor finds nothing wrong with it. It's a funny thing winter months my suv would never run hot. Here in south carolina it is getting hot and the problem has now started again. I have had 3 to 4 incidents with my vehicle running hot 2015 and is sure more are to come. As usual i shut the engine off to make the gage go back to normal. And yes the running hot light does come on. We just don't understand what is going on. I would like to know if there are others having the same problem and what should i do to fix it.

I have a 2006 dodge durango that just dies going down the road with out warning!this has happened many times. It started around 80000 miles and has gotten worse. When this happens i loss all power to the vehicle including the steering and brakes. This is a very important issue that needs addressed asap. People carry there family's in these vehicle's. From what i have read this is a ongoing problem with dodge during. Dodge needs to step up and fix the problem before some one is killed from this issue.
My vehicle stalls with no notice. No rpm loss. No warning lights. Just stalls. This is going to cause a serious accident. The first time this happened i was making a left turn into my drive way. The next time while slowing from 35 mphto make a left turn onto a side street. The last 2 times i have been in heavy traffic having it stall when merging into the turn lane. I have searched the internet and find numerous complaints of this very same issue. Not sure why chrysler has not stepped up and addressed this issue.

My 2006 dodge durango stalled out in the middle of traffic and caused me to be injured in a rear end collision because my pcm shut my engine down per design of the vehicle because my oil sending unit had a faulty wire and my pcm thought i didn't have any oil in my car which disabled my car completely by design of the manufacturer to keep my engine from damage because it thought i had. O oil. I have a faulty design product and not enough warning. I have been off work for a year with the injuries from the accident and luckily i wasn't hurt worse.

As i was exiting a highway, my 2006 dodge durango suddenly stalled out.the engine light came on after it stalled.i lost control of steering and was unable to brake.i nearly crashed into the car in front of me, and was barely able to turn the steering wheel enough to run into the curb to stop my vehicle! i was not able to re-start it and had to be towed.while waiting for police to arrive, i was nearly rear-ended multiple times.it was towed to a shop and the mechanic was able to start it up with no problem the next morning.he checked everything, and ran all diagnostic tests - all came back showing no problems.there is clearly a problem - and there are man, many, many complaints about it all over the internet.if i had been on the highway when this happened, i could have been in a very serious accident and could have been killed, or killed someone else, since i lost complete control of the vehicle and was unable to steer or brake.is it going to take a fatality before this is recalled and fixed??????i am scared to death to drive it now!

1996 dodge durango. I have 2006 dodge durango limited 5.7 literhemi- i bought used car salesman it in december 2012. In february of 214 we started having a problem with the engine cutting off while drivingafter reading several different internet forums i discovered the engine failure with my dodge durango was a common problem. Like others i have taken it in to our mechanic's because the check engine light had come on. We always got oil changes and regular maintenance done at our mechanic's because we thought they would know the car best and be able to inform us of any important recalls or possible problems. I asked him about the problem, he in turned told me that he knew about the dodge durango engine failure problem.he also saiddodge knows about it, but there has been no recall for this problem.i am afraid that someone is going to get killed on the road because the engine turns off at any time. It is a same that dodge is pulling the same thing as general motors has done.pleaase lets fix this before someone does get killed.so i am here with my 2006 dodge durango parked in my drive just waiting forrecall.it is getting closer because yesterday they just recalled the 2005,2006,2007 jeep because chrysler said on tuesday that it was recalling an undisclosed number of older jeep s.u.v.s to correct an ignition-related stalling problem similar to the deadly flaw that has consumed general motors this year. How also owns dodge so i know they know about the dodges problems.at this point my senator richard blumenthal office can not do a thing, because i have not been hurt or killed as of yet.it feels like.
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 theengineering 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.
Our dodge consistently stalls and dies when sitting at a stop light and/or slowing the vehicle to make turns. When this happens the engine dies resulting in the loss of brakes, steering,etc. Multiple times this has almost caused a wreck with other vehicles or has caused us to jump the curb almost hitting trees, etc. We've also had this happen pulling trailers and boats. This is extremely dangerous. I'd like to see dodge acknowledge this problem before someone gets hurt.

I have a 2006 dodge durango, bought it used about 4 years ago.about a year and half ago, approximately march of 2013, the vehicle started to stall while driving.it happened at all speeds and after it happening multiple times we figured out that it happened when it was wet/raining out.this is extremely scary and dangerous when going 70mph on the highway...to have your vehicle jerk numerous times and then completely shutoff (aka no power at all!).we have spent a few thousand dollars since spring of 2013 trying to fix the issue.we worked closely with our dealer to figure out the exact problem...figured out it was electrical (possibly when the windshield wiper are used...)but that was about as far as we got.some of the things they found and/or fixed or replaced are as follows: wiring that was frayed, re-ground numerous wires, replaced a handful of sensors, resealed connections between electrical components and main module (as well as resealed the boxes themselves since water was found in them), replaced the electrical module ($2k), and replaced entire electrical box(which included having to re-wire)...found a used one since brand new would have been $1200! .i have recently seen that there was a petition to the government to investigate (and hopefully recall) vehicles that have situations similar to what i have described above but they reference vehicles manufactured 2007 and forward but our 2006 is having the same issues!! since it has been to the dealer last (less than a month ago) we have not had the problem but there was a stretch over the winter where it didn't happen at all either so i am not convinced it is fixed...it seems the dealer mechanic is about out of ideas and so are we...
The vehicle surges and makes a rattling soud when excelling. Feels like it's losing power. It delays starting when the ignition is on. The suspension feels like it's going to snap. The engine light and air bag light is displayed on the instrument panel/cluster.
Repeat engine light alerts upon acceleration above 40 miles per hour. Engine light comes on and the truck engine misfires, it starts jerking and bumping. I've had to slow down in front of angry traffickers because i was afraid the engine would fail completely on the interstate. Twice in december 2011 within a weeks time, a coil was replaced and all 6 spark plugs, due to cracking and corrosion. Again in 2012, the truck began misfiring, and multiple coils are corroded, and again- all 6 spark plugs are as well. Upon research on the internet, i found a number of chat sites with angry dodge owners who have been alerted to the bulletin posted by company about the faulty cowl, which by poor design leaks water onto the engine. I am now faced with replacing all the cylinders, and replacing the faulty cowl with a newly designed cowl/ pins. Labor and parts could run into the thousands easily.other issues i have faced since purchasing the vehicle second hand in september 2011 include wiring issues:headlamps fail, and horn honks when lights are turn on.left turn signal signals right, and right turn signal does not work at all.drivers power window intermittently stops functioning.dome lamp will not turn off at times. This vehicle should be recalled immediately, and dodge is lowest on my list for my next vehicle purchase.
Driving vehicle and it started to stall. Felt like the front end was ready to give out. Vehicle has been at the dodge dealership where it was purchased brand new. Mechanic is unable to determine the problem. All major maintenance and repairs have been at this dealership. Vehicle has 214,000 miles, but has always been reliable. Can't understand why it has taken a week to diagnose the problem. Had vehicle towed by aaa to dealership.

My wife was driving the vehicle on a country road about 35 mph when the engine died and she had no power steering or brakes and had to drift to the side of the road.when she tried to restart the car the dash lights would light but the starter would not crank the engine.shop says the computer has failed.
While driving my durango will just shut off (it doesn't run rough or sputter, it just shuts off) leaving me with no power steering or braking. I will coast to the side of the road, put it in park, then try to start it again. Most times it will start right up and other times it may take 2 - 5 minutes. This will happen about once or twice a month for the past couple of years. Otherwise it runs fine before and after it shuts off on me. One oddity that i notice is that all the gauges seem to work fine except the speedometer drops to 0 even through i am still coasting along. The engine light does not come on during this. This is very dangerous as i have almost hit other cars before since i loose my steering and braking abilities.
The vehicle will shut off without any warning. No warning lights or anything, the vehicle just stalls in the middle of traffic, brakes or power steering doesn't work when vehicle shuts down. This can cause a very serious accident or death to myself and others around me. Help! this happened several times and when i take it to the shop they can't find anything wrong with because no error codes come up.

The vehicle has been continually stalling at lower rpm. I have had a tune up on the vehicle to include cleaning the throttle body, new plugs, plug wire boots, air filter and repeated diagnostic analysis at local garage. No engine codes are being registered. The local garage has a mechanic that has been a dodge mechanic for 15 years. He coordinated w/ the local dodge garage and re-flashed the ecm. 2 hours out of the mechanics garage, the vehicle stalled in a busy intersection and continues to stall and run horribly at low rpm.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
Common problem persists with this model exhaust manifold bolts are faulty and cause a exhaust leak on both the driver and passenger side of the engine costing around 1,000 to fix. Mine has the same issue when you have a cold engine you hear a ticking noise and it is caused by bad parts from the factory. This repair is very common on these models. This issue is a major issue with changing them due to breakage of the manifold bolts that cost extreme amounts to fix and sometimes if repaired wrong costing a engine replacement.

I was driving during a rainstorm and my 2006 dodge durango started sputtering and stalled on the highway. We were fortunate enough to get the vehicle to the side of the road. After my car was towed & looked at by a mechanic i was told that water was running down the windshield & dripping directly on top of the air intake. The mechanic told me it was a common problem for the 2004 through 2006 models. After doing some research i found this to be true. I spoke with dodge and they told me that it was a design flaw and i could purchase a replacement updated cowl part # 55362453ak this part is supposed to divert the water away from the intake. I also found out that no bulletin has been issued for the public. In my opinion a vehicle that stalls because of the rain is an issue. It typically happens when the vehicle hits a 100000 miles due to the weather stripping failing. I also found out that when this happens the engines can become waterlogged and the engine can blow a rod through the motor when trying to start the car after the rain. Any research into the second generation dodge durangos should produce more information including electrical problems. Please look into this issue as i would hate for someone to lose a life because their vehicle stalled.

This vehicledies randomlygoing 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!
The vehicle, on cold start up exhibited a surging idle, from 500 rpm ranging up to 2000 rpm. The idle finally leveled out and settled down. While driving the vehicle, i noted some surging present while at a steady speed. Once, while sitting at a traffic light while in drive, the vehicle idle jumped up and caused the vehicle to lunge into the intersection. Luckily no cross traffic was present and applying the brakes very hard stopped the vehicle from completely running through the intersection. There was no check engine lightpresent, nor has the check engine light ever illuminated on this vehicle, (other than the bulb check on start up), for any reason. As an ase master automobile technician and a former chrysler factory trained technician, i connected a scan tool to this vehicle to see what was going on. As stated, there was no cel, so there were no codes active, pending or historical. Observation of the live data stream revealed nothing out of the ordinary. With access to identifix, i researched and found several other instances of the same concern with 2006 durangos, with recommendations of replacing the throttle body assembly due to intermittent "glitches" in the throttle position sensor sending false readings to the pcm causing the idle control motor to increase the idle speed. I currently have this part on order from my local dealership. Once received and installed i will determine if further action will be required.
As i braked to park the durango, the engine abruptly stalled. Not sure why it stalled, but i know there was a problem with the 2004-2005 durangos where the engine would stall during sharp turns while braking.
When we unlock/lock the doors we can hear a clicking noise under the truck. Sometimes while driving or taking a tight turn i can feel the 4x4 kick in and the tires lock up. Sometimes the 4x4 dash indicator will flicker on and off while driving normally and sometimes the red neutral light indicator by the 4x4 switch comes on. Usually shutting the truck off and on again makes that go away.

Approximately during summer of 2013, upon starting engine, the ignition would "stick" when key was turned forward.durango would have to be turned off and key taken out of ignition switch to try it again.then, upon shifting into reverse and backing up, the vehicle would come to an abrupt halt and be immovable for a time, usually until putting into park and re-starting vehicle.this is when the malfunction indicator light came on.we had to have vehicle towed at which time the wheels were locked in place, causing black skid marks from its point of tow to tow truck. The auto shop replaced the emergency brake which was "stuck or locked in position".malfunction indicator light went off temporarily.it came back on again in august, 2014.took to auto shop to diagnose.after 677.74 dollars in repairs, light still remains on.

Dodge durango 2006.i have had numerous problems with this vehicle.at 119,000 miles,i have had the exhaust manifold gasket replaced 4 times due to broken bolts/studs, all o2 sensors replaced as well as the catalytic converter.the fuel system overflows when fueling up, splashing over the gas attendant and vehicle.the most serious and dangerous problem lately has been the vehicle stalling at all speeds in the rain.when ibrought the vehicle to the dealer they said there was an update for a cowl below the windshield wipers that protects the firewall from water.they replaced this part.the next time it rained the problem occurred again, truck stalled at 45 mph.when the vehicle stalls you lose power steering which makes it difficult to get to a shoulder.once the truck is stopped and placed into park it will restart without a problem.the stalling continues to occur in the rain.very scary.
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!

2006 dodge durango with idling problems customer is asking for another safety inspection**nar**ccthe idling problem was remedied by performing an upgrade to the ecm computer.
My dodge durango has been having this problem for awhile.i finally did some online reading of posts and found other drivers having the same issue.almost every day when i start my suv the rpm's rev up and down.it also does this when i am sitting at a drive-thu line, stop sign, or in traffic.it also has died on me when driving.mostly when coming from a stop, but happens when making turns, or sometimes just for no reason at all.if it doesn't stall it hesitates.it also will jump forward when coming to a stop.like i said this has been happening for awhile.we have serviced the suvfor repair every time this has happened.the repair shop then fixes or cleans certain parts/areas, just for it to happen again.yesterday (june 27, 2012) it stopped working with all my children in the suv at a busy intersection.it is currently sitting in a shop while the techs scratch their heads trying to figure out the problem.
Ignition switch locks up frequently. Vehicle stalls out during stops, turns and backing up.
1] engine stalls out during stops, turning, and reversing.2] ignition will not turn to on position occasionally.
Progressively worse engine idle at stops on '06 durango w/ 5.7 hemi. When stopping at light/sign, engine will drop from (normal) around 700rpm to below 500 rpm and feels like its about to stall. It will then come up to 500rpm (rough idle) and fluctuate between 450 and 550.if i give at a little gas, it will come up to normal rpm and stay.dealer says they couldn't get any codes or find problems, however they saw same symptoms when turning wheel. After researching, i found that this same problem has been reported for '04 & '05 5.7 hemi's and has some vehicles stalling during a turn in intersection (this is a potentially fatal defect). Dealer confirmed that chrylser is aware of a problem and has no fix for it. The dealer had me pick up the vehicle to use until a fix is available.
Upon turning into parking lot of local store, car shut down and system locked up.no power steering and no engine light came on.was able to steer car to parking space, stop and restart vehicle.this is the second occurrence in 2 weeks.same scenario, going slow in parking lot and vehicle shuts down.another problem has come up now when after i start the vehicle in the morning, it surges from 1000 rpm to 2000 back and forth for about 10-15 seconds.my questions for the durango makers is when will their be a total recall on these suv's?
Exhaust started ticking and upon investigating found 2 rear manifold bolts broken off allowing exhaust fumes to leak into engine compartment. Talked to dodge dealer and found it is a very common problem and very expensive to repair.
My police department's 2006 dodge durango has had 5 cam sensors fail (one sensor twice, the other 3 times).it happens every few thousand miles.the check engine light comes on and the car runs rough.each time the patrol vehicle is taken out of service.this time i'm told that the part is on back order with says to me that we are not the only people having this problem.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango.the contact took her vehicle to be repaired under recall # 9378792861.after the repair was performed, the contact stated that the vehicle began to stall.the dealer has had the vehicle since june 21, 2007 and has been unable to determine the cause of failure.the dealer performed a diagnostic, which caused them to place 50 miles per day on the vehicle in an attempt to locate the cause of failure.the dealer even asked if one of the technicians could take the vehicle home.the recall number that was provided could not be located.the current and failure mileages were 7,000.
Engine failure due to water being introduced into engine by emissions system.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. Whenever the contact drove the vehicle at any speeds including approximately 45 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled and shut off without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the failure could not be reproduced. The current and failure mileages were 52500.
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.
I've had problems with this vehicle since i bought it. Somedays the truck won't crank, check engine light goes on and off took it so salisbury dodge kept my vehicle for 4 days gave it back to me said they couldn't find anything wrong with it said they turned the light off for me 2 weeks later same problem like truck not getting gas, truck just cut off on me and my family while driving down the highway. Tookit to dealership where bought kept vehicle for almost 2 weeks catalytic converter was bad every since they gave me vehicle back which has been about 2 months still having problems radio turns by itself hit bump the truck turned off almost got rear ended trying to pull to shoulder, check engine light goes on and off, every time i call the dealership to get appt they say they can't give me one i just need to drop the truck off and they will get to it when they can,so what do i suppose to do until they can see what's going on i can't afford to pay for a rental they don't want to assist me with that. I'm really scared for my family safety i'm still having problems with the steering sometimes when i make a turn it doesn't turn correctly it's scary i reallyneed some assistant.
Upon starting and shifting into drive, the vehicle does not move, even when applying throttle.the engine revs, but the car does not move.thereafter, when the car is shifted into reverse and then again into drive, the car stalls.when restarting, the starter cranks for about five or six seconds before cranking.
Exhaust started ticking and upon investigating found 2 rear manifold bolts broken off allowing exhaust fumes to leak into engine compartment. Talked to dodge dealer and found it is a very common problem and very expensive to repair.
On my 2006 dodge durango, the studs and bolts holding the exhaust manifold together failed.this required the replacement of two gaskets, four double ended studs and two bolts as well as twenty retainers.this vehicle did not have any off road driving and the studs and bolts failed during normal everyday wear and tear, which seems very unusual for a vehicle less than three years old.is there a possibility that inferior materials were used in these studs and bolts leading to the failure?
I was just wondering if anyone else hadproblems with both exhaust manifold gaskets failing at 40,000 miles on a 2006 dodge durango. Fortunately i had an extended warranty that covered the problem. All other cars that i have had have gone much longer before needing the gaskets replaced.
2006 dodge durango has had multiple engine & electrical problems within 6 month period.first car lost all power while driving at 35 mph, took all strength to get car to shoulder of the road w/o power steering & locked steering column.local mechanic said that computer was fried & covered under emissions warranty.towed to dodge dealership who said there was not a computer problem, just cam shaft needed replacing & recall on instrument panel cluster.after $450 repair for cam shaft & tow, a week later car started having electrical problems.aprox every other time i would start car, the radio & electrical display (clock) on radio would not work--appeared to not get power.six weeks later, check engine light came on again.by this time, original dodge dealership had been closed, so went to another dodge dealer for service.they found another wiring problem with engine.could not identify problem with audio/clock.check engine light went on about 2 months later.this time local mechanic advised it was a fuel pump problem.replaced fuel pump, checked fuse & still could not identify problem with audio/display.9 days later went to start car in the am, and electrical seemed to sputter (lights, instrument pane, wipers, radio) but car would not start.starter does not appear to be engaging the engine at all.diagnosed as started motor problem, starter motor replaced, but car still not fixed.then told battery terminals & cables needed to be replaced.car now starts, but audio/display issue still unresolved.concern that there is a larger problem with the electrical system of this vehicle, which is the root cause of all recent problems.getting scared to drive this car on interstate or in any level of traffic for fear that it will stall out or lose power during operation again.the car only has 42,000 miles on it.first problem started with 37,000 miles on vehicle.i hate this car!!!!!
Intermittent and spontaneous activation of the windshield wipers and washers during operation of the steering wheel under normal driving conditions. Steering wheel sound system controls work erratically or in reverse of normal function. Ignition remains engaged until switch is recycled.seems to be low temperature related( happens more often in the cooler am). Vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times for repair attempts. Clock spring,multifunction switch,individual audio controls, and the front control module have been replaced under warranty by the dealer with out correcting the problem. Dealer states that chrysler will not authorize additional diagnosis. I am concerned that this is an electrical short in the steering column that may result in air bag deployment, or a vehicle fire, and injuries to my family. Chrysler reps will not address the problem when i have repeatedly attempted to contact them via their hotline at 1-800-992-1997.
Air conditioning not cooling properly.tested vent temperatures in identical conditions using an infrared temperature probe and a normal analog temperature probe. Used 1997 mercury mountaineer in test with my new 2006 dodge durango.tested initial left center vent temp and the temp after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 minutes using the dash vents only and max cool and max fan.the nine year old mountaineer vent temp was 9 or 10 degrees cooler after 5 minutes.the older vehicle cooled faster and provided colder air temps.this testing was done after noticing the durango wasn't cooling as well as my old mountaineer.
A/c in my brand new 2006 dodge durango doesn't cool down properly during daytime operating hours.we live in texas and we bought our durango in july of this year.my vehicle is equipped with dual a/c.we tookit back to the dealership complaining that the conditioned air from the vents, even when the control is in the max position, is only ambient at best.i know what cold air feels like!this is texas!their response was that because of all the glass and large front windshield causes the interior to heat up and it takes a long time for the vehicle to cool down.however the a/c cools down the interior of the vehicle very rapidly in the early morning and late evening hours of the day when the sun isn't as intense.
I've had problems with this vehicle since i bought it. Somedays the truck won't crank, check engine light goes on and off took it so salisbury dodge kept my vehicle for 4 days gave it back to me said they couldn't find anything wrong with it said they turned the light off for me 2 weeks later same problem like truck not getting gas, truck just cut off on me and my family while driving down the highway.

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.
The dash board lights/ warning lights go off and on, and the odometer and rpm gauges bounce from zero to like 5000 rpm while driving. The ac and radio and dvd and navigation all shut off and on also while driving. I took it to crown motors on june 21 and had a diagnostic tests ran and nothing came up all was fine. They told me to bring it back in when it did it and to leave it run when i go inside to let them know. I took back down there on june 24 as it was doing it all again. They immediately took it back to the shop and stated you definitely have something wrong. They told after an hour that they could only get the reading up to the ecm and anything after that it is not showing up that it is dead. They called the lead engineer at dodge to try and find a solution. I talked to them on june 25 and still no answer. They told me they had to put $10 in gas and was going to charge that to me as they lost the signal to diagnostic sue to turning the vehicle off. They drove around four different times to try and reestablish the problem and has not happened. I called them today june 27,2013 and told i could come and pick up the vehicle as they can not get the vehicle to do the problems again to reestablish the connections. They also said if it happens again to just bring it back over so they can reestablish the connection for the problems. I know that there has been recalls for the electrical system on these vehicles. They dealer told they were all closed out and my vehicle was not one of them. Still have not resolve the problems with my 2006 durango. I do not feel comfortable driving my family around in it due to a possible fire like some have had or the engine shutting off going down the highway.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While driving 25 mph and coming to a stop, the accelerator pedal stuck to the floorboard for a couple of seconds. The vehicle kept accelerating at 60 mph when releasing the accelerator pedal. The throttle remained wide open when released. The contact had to turn the engine off to be able to stop the vehicle. The contact coasted over to the side of the road and the throttle started to release. The failure recurred twice.the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. In addition, the headlights failed when the switch was in the on position and the windshield wipers activated when the switch was in the off position. The failure recurred numerous times only when the temperature was forty degrees or less. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.
Interior lights never go off and has a recall. The dealership tells me it takes seven days to get the part and have it programmed. This is unacceptable since this is my only transportation. This vehicle also has three other recalls that the dealership didn't tell me about. I think they are making this difficult so that customers will not get their recalls done.there is also a recall on a suspension part that could cause an crash- wipers and lights- and filling the gas tank is a royal pain in the ........ The fuel spits back out at you before your tank is full. These are all safety hazards that dodge needs to address with no cost or inconvenience for the owner. If these recalls are not repaired there is a reasonable chance that life threatening events could occur. Not sure why the dodge company allows these dealerships to do this to their customer. I suggest that every person who has had problems complain to the company as well as this site ------- may be someone will do something.
Right turn work in rear, but not in the front, left side work opposite, head light left work on low, but not on high, right work opposite, fog lights do not work.
Electrical problems, during cold weather 40 degrees and lower the wiper blades & lights, interior & exterior activate on their own.
My dash panel lights do not work. There was a recall on other models of my year but my vin was included. This needs to bee looked at.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While driving at any speed, the headlights started to flash on and off and the turn signal failed to signal. The failure recurred every time it rained. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed, but the technician could not find a failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 120,000.
While using my left turn signal, my right blinkers came on. While using my right turn signal, my left blinkers came on. This has happened several times within the past year. More recently, my wipers would work intermittently. Also, sometimes my blinkers don't work at all.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While driving approximately 75 mph, the front end of the vehicle shook violently without warning. In addition, while driving, the headlights became inoperable without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 32,000.
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.
Turn signal switch malfunctions when it is cold and wet out. Will indicate right turn when turning left and vise versa, high beam also malfunctions and will sometimes turn on washer fluid, wiper function also not working right when others fail. Seems to be when it is wet and below freezing temperatures. Similar complaints all over internet.
The interior and exterior lights will flash on and off when driving leaving us temporally blind in the dark, and also the wipers work erratically, they will either come by them selves for a few seconds and then turn off, or during rain storms they will work erratically.they will wipe fast for a few seconds, and then slow down to a 2 or 3 second delay between wipes under heavy rain when the switch is set to hi, then they will go fast again for a few seconds, and then slow again.it is a safety concern for my wife driving my two small children in the rain.also the radio audio turns its self down while driving when nobody touches the controls, and the steering wheel controls do not control the audio.i think it is all a connected issue with a defective clock spring which again i have seen many complaints about dodge clock springs being faulty on www.dodgeforum.com.
My abs light & brake light come on, and my passenger air bag turns off.when this happens, the vehicle becomes difficult to navigate and the back end get tight.this has happened 4 times, and the last time was on a busy highway, and i was lucky to miss causing an accident.we took the vehicle in on 4/18/06 and had all recall work done, and the vehicle still is not working properly.this last instance scared me to the point i do not feel safe driving the vehivle.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that whenever a turn signal was engaged, the opposite signal would illuminate. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
My 2006 dodge durango spits gas out of the tank when filling. It shoots gas allover the side of the durango and on anyone within a few feet.
2006 dodge durango my gas tank does not auto shut off properly and spills gas, dodge has a simular recall for the 2005 dodge durango
When i fill the gas tank, gas spits out . Has happened more than a few times and i read that this is a recall. My dealership shrugs it off and told me its not a recall and just dont fill up my tank.
There have been 2 recalls to date on the model year 2005 durango, 44,951 all together.with my 2006 dodge durango, fuel sprays out of the fill tube because of a check valve that has already been recalled two different times. No warnings, no letters to the owners of the durango now to advise them to use caution. Please open an investigation now and have this serious safety issue corrected for all of the durango owners on the road today.this is a serious safety concnern. The problem has already been identified in earlier models, and there seems to be significant issues with the 2006 models as well.
Fuel forcefully spraying out of filler tube when vehicle is being fueled and the tank is nearly full.
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.
The vehicle spews gas once fueling begins. It overflows the gas tanks and a lot of fuel spills on the ground. This is an ongoing issue with every refuel of the vehicle which began in october 2010.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)while refilling the gas tank and using the automatic shut off feature of the pump head at every gas station we've used the gas overflows out on the ground once the release is tripped on the gas pump handle.this occurs at every station we've refilled the tank since the issue has arisen.typically one cup of gas leaks out of the fuel open on each occurrence.2006 dodge durango, vin [xxx]. We started to notice this occurrence roughly mid year in 2009, the issue hasn't left since.
Around august 10, 2011, as i was getting fuel it sprayed fuel everywhere after the nozzle had stopped. I have even tried to slow the rate of fuel and that does not matter. Every time i fill up the tank, it sprays everywhere. I tried different gas stations and still no luck. This poses a safety hazard as all of the fuel spilled on the vehicle, the ground, and on my clothes.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango.the contact stated that when he attempted to add more than a half gallon of fuel to the vehicle it would spill onto the ground. The dealer advised the contact that his vehicle was not included in any recalls.the manufacturer was aware of the failure.the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who inspected the vehicle and informed the contact of the repairs; however, the contact was unable to provide that information.no repairs were performed.the current mileage was 62,347.the approximate failure mileage was 59,800.
Filling up with gas the nozzle clicks and a few seconds later gas will shoot out of the tank.
My 2006 dodge durango began having issues with the fuel tank one year ago. Every time i fill up the tank, after the nozzle automatically shuts off, gas spews back out of the car onto me and the exterior of the vehicle. May 2011 a service shop found that a solenoid had failed and replaced it. They also found that the surge canister was holding gasoline, as it likely is filled when the tank spews gas back out. Replacing the solenoid did not correct the problem, and the service technician informed me that there were several reports of this occurring with other dodge durangos, but that my year vehicle had not been recalled. Only 2005 durangos have been recalled for this exact same problem. I reported this to chrysler on may 24, and the case manager contacted me on may 31 to report that chrysler was choosing not to assist in replacing the fuel tank, and at this time has not recalled for this safety issue.
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.
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?
I have a 2006 dodge durango and for the past few months every time i fill my gas tank and it even gets remotely close to full it sprays fuel at me everywhere and spills tons on the ground. I can't leave it for a second and it can't get full or it's horrible. I see that the 2005 durango's had a big recall for the same exact incident but nothing for the 2006's. I called the dealership and i'm told that the whole fuel tank needs to be replaced.this is a huge safety issue do to the amount of gas that sprays out and nothing can really be done to stop it except me pay to replace it or to not fill my tank which is a pain. My vehicle is not that old for this to be happening. Why is 2005 covered but not 2006?
2006 dodge durango.gas gushes out of the fill hole. Does this repeatedly.
Fueling problem. At the end of fueling, excess fuel gushes out onto person and ground. This occurs every time vehicle is fueled. This creates a fire or explosion hazard. Dealer states that no recall has been issued for this problem. Vehicle has not been repaired.
Gas overflows after fuel bump stops during every fill up.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango.the contact stated that every time he fills up the vehicle with gasoline, fuel would spew out of the gas tank and splash all over him.the dealer stated that the issue could not be repaired under warranty and would cost $1,400.there is a recall regarding this fuel system issue for the 2005 durango, but not the 2006.the contact feels that the manufacturer should be responsible for the repairs since there is a recall for the previous year.the current mileage was 47,000 and failure mileage was 30,000.
Gasoline sprays out all over ground and vehicle when filling up. After pump automatically shuts off, you can hear the gasoline suck back up and than it sprays out.
When pumping gas the pump shuts off and then the gas shoots out all over me and the side of the car.it happens every time i get gas and covers me and the side of the car with the spillage.nothing has been done to fix the problem. I was told because i bought it used it was not something the company would fix.i hope a fire does not occur because of this overflow problem.
Dodge durango vehicles, fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not fully close at the end of refueling . This allows some fuel to escape from the vehicle through the filler neck at the end of refueling. Consequence: fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Faulty valve on fuel tank does not prevent gasoline from spilling during refill.
I have a 2006 dodge durango,an excessive amount of fuel spillage from the fuel tank. The failure occurs whenever fuel is dispensed into the fuel tank, followed by fuel spraying out of the tank. The fuel nozzle stops when the tank was full with fuel continuously spraying out of the tank. The dealer has the vehicle and is replacing the carbon canister. The symptoms are the same as recall 05v-034.
Fuel tank overflows during fill up. Spilling tons of gas.because of the overflow there is a lot of rust forming on body were gas tank is.i have taken it to body shop to see about getting the rust fixed but said would have to replace that whole area because rust ate through. To be honest i thought i was doing something wrong when filling up at the gas station or something was wrong with the pump for a long time until i started researching on internet.i just spoke to dodge dealer and they told me that this is a new problem that dodge just extended the warrenty on so we can get the fuel part fixed.my problem is that we almost have this paid for and would like to keep for a few more years, has low miles, but the rust around gas tank is bad. I think there should be some help from dodge on getting this fixed since it was their fault.
2006 dodge durango leaks gas when tank is filled just like the 2005 models.
Fuel sprayed out of the filler tube after filling the tank to full and nozzle clicked off. This has happened on multiple occasions. 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.
Fuel system forces gasoline out of the fuel tank when you are attempting to fill the tank causing extremely hazardous condition and environmental damage . This is an ongoing problem sense the nhtsa recall in 2005 of the dodge durango fuel systems .
When recently filling the gas tank on our 2006 dodge durango slt with about 46k miles from near empty, about 1-2 cups of gasoline came spraying back out of the filler, and for the rest of the day the interior of the car had a strong gas odor, making my wife and two children nauseous.i have seen several other complaints of this on this websitehttp://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-durango/190747-gas-fill-overflow-on-my-06-durango-14.html.
When filling the fuel tank, a large quantity of fuel sprays the refueler after tank is full and pump has already shut off.it appears as though a high back pressure builds inside the tank and may be contributing to this problem.this happens regardless of filling station and has contributed to clothing and bodily contact with gasoline.
My wife has a 2006 dodge durango that everytime you fill it up gas spits out all over the place. I researched on-line and found that there was a recall on the 2005 models. I also contacted my dealer with no help from them. It seems to me if they are having this problem on several year models it should be a recall before someone get hurt.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that as the vehicle was refueled to maximum capacity, fuel spilled back out from the filler neck abnormally. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
When i go to the gas station to put gas in i can only put a 1.50 in and the pump kick off and gas come out i wait for a little bite and it will take 2.00 and tit does the same thing again it come right back out.
Fuel spills out of the gas tank when finished filling up.i called dodge on 10/28/2009 to see if there was a recall. Dodge said there was a recall, but only on the 2005 models, not the 2006 models.they gave me a case # and told me to get it checked out by my dealership.when i got to the dealership they wanted to charge me to look at it.i thought that i was the only one with this problem, however i see over 270 complaints here on the d.o.t. Website.this is a serious safety and environmental issue. I can tell you that the ecco friendly vapor locking gas pumps do not work on my durango when gas comes spraying out the fuel filler neck all over the truck, ground, and anything near it including people.someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed and i hope it isn't my 16 yr. Old son who just got his license. This is an obvious defect of the fuel check valve and the recall should be extended to the 2006 models as well.i will be taking videos of my next several fill-ups as evidence. How many complaints does it take to get some action?
When refilling the fuel tank the nozzle on the hose from the gasoline dispenser does not click on and stop the flow of fuel once the tank is full resulting in approximately 8 ounces of gasoline being regurgitated back out of the tank and onto the side of the vehicle onto the person standing there fueling the car and then onto the ground. In my opinion this poses a grave safety hazard in that this overflow may ignite and injure the person filling the vehicle plus cause a rather large fire when the vehicle and surrounding items at the station also go up in flames.this has happened at several different filling stations and i was advised last friday (1/13/2012) by an attendant at t sam's club filling station that this is a common occurrence for durangos of the age of mine. I stopped by avondale dodge (where i purchased the vehicle new) on my way home to discuss this problem and they gave me a 800 number to call that i've been getting a run around about the problem so far.
Fuel overflowing upon completion of refueling vehicle
After filling gas tank, when you remove the hose, gas comes splashing back out.
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 contactand 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.
When filling the gas tank, gas spew out when the tank is nearly full.
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.
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.
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.......
Fuel tank overflows each time i fill up, no matter where i purchase fuel. Approximately 8 ounces of fuel spills out onto the side of the vehicle and ground. *ln
When i fill up my gas tank, the gas does not shut off, but overflows spewing gasoline out all over the place.the last two times i filled up, there was just a small amount which overflowed.today i was doused with gasoline from my waist to my ankles.
We own a 2006 dodge durango, hemi 8 -cyl engine.we are the first and only owners of the vehicle.when fueling the gas tank, significant quantities of fuel shoot out after the pump has stopped.the person fueling the vehicle gets covered in fuel. Fuel is spilt on ground and on side of vehicle.it makes no difference where you refuel, so it is not station specific.the cabin to the durango fills with fuel vapors and the situation poses significant risk of fire.there are also significant environmental hazards associated with the constant spilling of the gas. It seems that there are other recalls for this issue with the 2005 durangos, but not our 2006.
Tl-the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that after filling his tank up the gas would spill back out in large numbers. This failure has occurred on a intermittent basis since 2008. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer nor has it been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000. The vin was unavailable. Tb
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.
While filling the gas tank, the pump shuts off, then fuel pours out of the filler. This happens at any gas station, and almost every time we fill up the tank. This an an extreme hazard and a very costly inconvenience.every time we fill up, gas is wasted, the car becomes a dangerous and horribly smelling hazard. Dodge recalled the 2005 durango for the same issue, but has yet to do the same for the following model year!
My 2006 dodge durango slt over fills every time it is filled up. Gas will shoot out 12-15 inches in all directions sometimes. This started happening at around 60 thousand miles.
When the vehicle is being refueled the automatic fuel shut off does not work and fuel is spilled on the vehicle and on surrounding grounds.
This problem started when the vehicle was about 3 1/2 years old.it did not do this from the beginning of ownership.when fueling the car, if you attempt to fill it up completely, there is always a back splash of fuel splashing out of the fuel tank and onto the car, pavement and of course, the person filling up the car.i am never able to completely fill up the car because of this.also, when this happens, there is a chance of a fire occurring.not safe at all.my research found that 2005 dodge durangos were recalled for this same problem (campaign id number 05v034000), yet nothing has ever been done to fix the same issue with 2006 models.please do something about this problem!
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.
The fuel tank on my dodge durango spews gas out onto the vehicle and pavement at the end of filling up the gas tank.this began occurring about 3 months ago and happens every time i fill up.this is an extremely dangerous situation.the gas could ignite, plus it is an environmental hazard.my local dodge dealership (roger williams dodge) is refusing to pay for the repair.after researching this problem, i find this is a widespread issue with durangos.i should not have to pay for something that is obviously a factory defect.i want the gas tank replaced immediately on my vehicle.
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.
On two (2) occasions recently while refueling my 2006 durango limited the fuel tank overflowed. This occurred at different fueling locations therefore it must be vehicle specific.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that after refueling and removing the nozzle, fuel started to spill out from the filler neck. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the valve was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 68,835.
Was filling up 06 dodge durango and fuel will flow out violently after the fuel nozzle shut off was activated.there was about quart or more fuel splashed out of the fuel nozzle of the car.there is even a rust spot on the driver side rear quarter panel under the fuel nozzle on the car where fuel has eating at the metal.this is a very dangerous situation and can be deadly.this should be taken seriously.
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.
I recently purchased a used 2006 dodge durango limited. The vehicle now has about 33,500 miles on it.whenever i completely fill the tank with gasoline, it overflows.gasoline is sprayed onto the person pumping the gas and down the side of the vehicle.this is very dangerous.we no longer fill the gas tank completely in order to avoid the problem, but this is not an ideal solution and it still occurs randomly.i understand that there are recalls on earlier models (2005) but so far have not received a notice on our vehicle.i think this is a very dangerous situation and would like to have chrysler/dodge expand this recall to later models.
Each and every time i've let the gas pump auto-fill the tank, gas comes spurting back out. I no longer fill up the tank completely and have to manually stop the gas pump, in a sense, guessing as to when the tank is almost full.
Fuel spit-back- whether we fill it on the lowest setting on the gas pump or if we manually fill it using as little pressure as possible it overfills every single time and gas pours from the fill spout down the body of the vehicle, on my hands clothes and on the ground.i have had to go home and change clothes after trying to fill the car with gas.
After filling my 2006 dodge durango, the auto shutoff engaged from the gas pump, and approximately 1/4 gallon of gasoline erupted from the nozzle and spilled down over the vehicle and pooled on the ground.
I am the original owner of a 2006 dodge durango and every time i fill it up the gas tank overflows when the automatic nozzle shuts off or if i have been carefully putting in gas at a slow pace. This is a safety problem especially when your standing in a pool of gasoline. I have researched this problem on the web and found several 2006 durango owners responded on the dodge forum with the same problem. Apparently the 2005 durango had the same problem, but was recalled and fixed.when will dodgemake this right for all the 2006 durango owners?
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.
Just purchased used 2006 dodge durango limited upon filling the fuel tank for the first time fuel pump shut off after about 4 gallons and gasoline spewed from tank and filler neck, continued to do the same thing unless i filled the tank very slowly. This seems to be pretty common problem with the durango and is potentially a serious safety hazard not only to the people filling the vehicle but to others around, not to mention potential damage to vehicle finish.
When filling 2006 durango with fuel the fuel will spew back out of filler.
I have two issues with my durango. During fueling the pump does not shut off causing an overflow of gas on the ground, on my shoes, etc. This is an ongoing issue that has been happening since we purchased the vehicle. My mechanic thinks it is a sensor issue but dodge has not recalled the vehicle to fix it. The second issue is i can take my key out of the ignition while the engine and ignition are in the run position, lock the car and take the key with me and the engine will run like the key is in the ignition.
Everytime i completely fill up the fuel tank on my 2006 dodge durango, i get gas sprayed all over the side of the vehicle. It has started occurring in the last few months, and it will occur everytime unless i fill it at the slowest pump speed, and then sometimes it still occurs.

When i fill my gas tank on my 2006 dodge durango the pump shuts off then gasoline spills out and all over the vehicle and ground. I have had this happen since i bought the vehicle and it happens every time at any gas station.
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.

Please take a look at this website:http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2006/dodge/durango/fuel+system there are over 50 other complaints about this problem. I have a 1996 dodge durango and when you fill the fuel tank, fuel gushes out of the pipe when the pump shuts off. This happens every time.

When fueling fuel spits back out fuel fill after fill nozzle shuts off. Spilling down the side and on the ground.
When refueling vehicle the gas will exit tank with force, spilling gas on ground, vehicle and operator. Potential explosion hazard, environmental damage, chemical burns and explosion injury. This started occurring at around 75,000 miles and happens at every fill up when topping off.
When filling the gas tank with the automatic shut off, the tank overfills about every other fill.

When trying to put fuel to fill up the car gas explodes out of tank. This happens any time when trying to put gas in the vehicle, it's probably at least a half gallon each and every time, it gets all over me the vehicle the ground. It's to the point were i can't even fill up, fuel shouldn't come out when filling a vehicle up and with the summer months upon us this is a great hazard. I would figure this is a major fire hazard and would need to be fixed, 2005 dodge durangos were recalled for the exact same thing, but i haven't seen anything for the 2006 dodge durangos.
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.
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.
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.
When fueling my vehicle, the fuel overflows at the end of the fill-up spitting approximately 1 pint of gas each time.the condition occurs when the tank is shown as empty or partially empty (i.e. 1/2 tank).in addition, the issue occurs whether i manually hold the gas pump lever or place the pump lever on its automatic latch.the problem has become consistent over the past 2-3 months while it only occurred a few times in the past 2 years that i have owned the vehicle.i just took the vehicle to the dealer for review and they have indicated that they could not duplicate the issue, 3/19, and on 3/22 the fuel spitting occurred during fill-up once again.

When fueling my 2006 dodge durango; the pump will click off automatically then gas will overflow from the tank. I purchased this vehicle used and have had the problem since day 1 of ownership. Dodge recalled the 2005 model for the same problem. I contacted dodge; and took my vehicle in to an authorized dealer. $1043 plus tax for parts and labor to have the fuel tank replaced. Why did they recall the 2005 but not the 2006 for the exact same problem. This is absolutely ridiculous. It is a safety hazard !!!!!! please, please, please help 2006 owners get this resolved.
I own a 2006 dodge durango 4 x 4 with 5.7 liter engine. Over the past couple months every time i fill up the gas tank gas shoots out of the filler tube as the pump shuts off. For some reason it doesn't trigger the automatic gas shutoff of the filler nozzle and about a pint to a quart shoots out - on the person filling, the side of the vehicle and all over the concrete. I understand there was a recall for this problem on 2005 durangos. There are numerous reports of this problem in 2006 models on the internet and i'm afraid the problem continues on them.
2006 dodge durango fuel discharges uncontrollably when re-fueling, attributed to check valve (defective) - possibly attributed to ethanol content in the fuel that has degregated the check valve?dodge is aware of this issue and wants near 1,000 dollars to correct by replacing the entire fuel tank.

I have a dodge durango 2006.everytime i fill the gas tank, the gas overflows and spills out onto the ground and side of vehicle.
Our 2006 dodge durango spits a large amount of gas out during refueling. When the tank is full and the pump shuts off the gas spits out all over you and the ground. There is about 20 ounces or so that does this. It happens everytime you fill the tank. The dealer said it was a device in the filler neck that goes bad often. This is a serious fire hazard and needs to be addressed.
2006 dodge durango, ever since time of purchase at 96,000 miles every single time i fill up at any gas station (have used over twenty different gas stations to try and remedy the problem) the gas pump will click off, and after waiting about 1 second there will be over a pint of gasoline discharge from the gas tank.this could cause a vehicle fire, and is a hazmat issue with the gasoline being discharged onto the ground on possibly the person filling the vehicle.any quick google search results for 2006 dodge durango gas tank overflow shows thousands of results and multiple videos of the instance.daimler chrysler customer service states there is nothing that they can do for me, and my local dealership says that it is not covered under warranty.this needs resolved before a real accident happens and someone loses a life!
2006 dodge durango limited 5.7 liter engine. Gas tank overfills at the pump. Pump doesn't shutoff. Started at around 65,000 miles.
Every time i fill my gas tank the following events take place:the gas stations nozzle clicks when the tank is full.a bubbling sound is heard followed by a gush of gasoline spewing from the fill neck onto me and the vehicle.the only way to prevent this from occuring is to try and guess when the tank is nearing full and stop pumping.i've read numerous article about idential problems.there was a recall for the 2005 durango but no recall for the 2006 durango.i've contacted dodge and it is something that'd i'd be responsible for paying for.therefor i haven't fixed it because of the expense involved.
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.
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!
2006 dodge durango every time i fill up the tank it spit back fuel at me.
Fuel tank overflow i have a 2006 dodge durango that i absolutely "love" except the fact that the past 2 months has developed a problem. Every time i fill up with gas (even at different stations), my gas tank over fills and gas is "gushing" out and a good amount is lost. My concern is not so much the expense in waste of extra gas i need to pay for. But, i have gas dripping down the side of my truck and in between my bumper fascia. And, this also causes a great scent of gasoline that also somehow gets into the vehicle, and lingers for quite a bit of time afterwards. I hate the smell of gas. I now fill up when i do not have my3 kids in the truck due to the smell and gas fumes are known to cause cancer. I have done some research and discover a recall id# 58886 which seems to describe the same exact situation i am having. Unfortunate for me, this recall was for 2005 dodge durango's and not 2006. I have also been on the phone with dodge about this problem many times they keep telling me they never heard of the problem keep telling them same problem as the o5. I would like to have this situation investigated. I would like to request a recall for 2006 dodge durango's be considered as well.it does make me feel a little better knowing i am not alone with this problem. This is still a consistent problem that really, for safety reason must be resolved. Unfortunately, there are many inconsiderate people that i have come across at gas stations that take pleasure in discarding their lit cigarettes onto the ground. And, i will be very upset (if i was to live) if that ignited light came in contact with gas that has spilled out of my vehicle. I greatly thank you for taking the time to read my concern. And, i really am hoping that you can help to resolve my situation, and others in my area.

2006 dodge durango gas tank doesn't click off when full and overflows.
You can not fill the gas tank over 3/4 full as it will result in a massive fuel spillage out of the filler neck. The backwash out of the tank will cover you and the side of the car and you with fuel. It does not matter what kind of fuel station is filling it happens every time. If there was any kind of spark a large fire would occur.
Each time i refuel my 2006 dodge durango limited, gasoline spews back from the fill nozzle onto the vehicle and ground.the last time this occurred, gasoline was splashed on an individual fueling his vehicle on the other side of the pump, ruining his jeans.

Starting about 6 weeks ago, everytime we fillup the tank it overflows at the end of the process. The overflow spews gasoline all over the side of the car and on the pavement creating a safety and environmental hazard. In some cases, either my wife or i received splash impact on our hands and clothes.
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?
When i fill my truck with gas it spews out.i have gotten to where i never completely fill my truck.when is someone going to investigate this and issue a recall?i have a feeling that the only way we dodge owners get this problem fixed is if someone is hurt while trying to fill their truck.all it would take is one spark when the gas spills out.please, force dodge to fix this issue before we hear on the news that someone is injured.
Fuel overspill when gas station pump reaches auto shut-off. After fuel tank replaced, gas station pump cuts out every gallon to gallon & a half when attempting to fill tank.
As i was refueling i noticed in the pump that it was at 29 gallons but it was still filling up and my tank wasn't empty so right away i knew something was wrong and looked on the bottom that it was spilling all the gas i'm thinking from the inside of the filler neck or hose but from under the car so something is wrong because it didn't stop filling up, thx
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.
While refueling my 2006 dodge durango limited at the aafes gas station on randolph afb, fuel came spewing out of the refuel nozzle once the pump cut off and the tank was full this has happened over 60 times since owning the vehicle, and at various gas stations across america. The gas station attendant was very angry with me saying that i overfilled the tank until i explained to him what is going on withthe vehicle.he got a mop hazmat kit and cleaned up the mess before i left. This is a safety and fire hazard.the 2005 durango was recalled for the same problem, but the 2006 is being ignored.you can see a video of this happening on youtube by looking for 2006 durango fueling problems. There are too many complaints on this website for nothing to be accomplished for us owners of the 2006 durango.what will it take, a fire and someone injured or killed to get the message? chrysler refuses to acknowledge there is an issue, and my local dealer is in denial and knows nothing of the problem.
During normal fuel fill-up procedures, whenever the fuel nozzle stops pumping fuel into the gas tank, a large amount of fuel is ejected from the gas fill-up door. This gasoline is sprayed over anyone and anything within approximately three feet of the vehicle in direct line with the fuel door, as well as spilling down the side of the vehicle itself and onto the ground. Several other 2004-2006 dodge durango owners i know have this same issue, with no help to repair or reimburse for repair from chrysler's corporate office.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not fully close at the end of refueling. This allowedfuel to escape from the filler neck. Consequently he along with the surrounding area was submerged with fuel. Fuel in the presence of an ignition source can cause a fire.the dealer nor the manufacturer has been contacted.the failure and current mileages were 15,000.updated 01/12/10. *ljthe consumer stated when he went to close the fuel tank, gas blew out all over him and the gas pump. Updated 01/13/10
Drive to any gas station, with gas gauge on anywhere from empty to a quarter full.insert gas pump nozzle into vehicle with normal care.start to pump gas.activate the "no hands" lever.when the tank is full, the pump automatically stops.a few seconds later, a significant amount of gas burps back out of the vehicle.enough fuel is spilled to wash all down the side of the vehicle and splash onto the operator.an ignition source would cause quite a fire.this spill has happened regularly for a few years and the only way to prevent it is to intentionally stop the pump before the tank is full.this is not an operator issue - it happens to whomever pumps the gas, at any gas station.it has happened for a few years.as i searched the internet for the repair, i see a large number of identical complaints, and even videos with the exact issue.so i finally decided to add my voice to the mix.
2006 dodge durango fuel leak at filler neck. At end of fueling vehicle, the pump will shut of and 2-3 seconds later gasoline will come gushing out.
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.
When fueling my vehicle and the pump clicks off, fuel just spews from the tank all over the ground which angers me due to the environmental factor.this happens every time even at the lowest refuel speed. I noticed many complaints from other 2006 durango owners.those that had it diagnosed at a dodge dealer say that the gas tank needed to be replaced which solved the problem but costs $600.00 or more.this is the same problem that the 2005 durangos experienced and a recall was issued.this needs to be a mandated recall and replaced free.my car is a 2006 durango, 60,000 miles, 5.7 hemi, 2wd.
While filling up my vehicle with fuel, the vehicle topped off and shut off the fuel nozzle, then fuel came rushing out of the vehicle's filler tube onto the vehicle, my hand and leg, and the ground. This is an ongoing mishap with this vehicle and other 2006 durango's as indicated by reviewing historical events on this website.it should not take a major mishap or fire to get the appropriate attention this deserves,.chrysler refuses to acknowledge there is an issue, however the 2005 durango was recalled for the same exact problem.
Fuel tank overflowi have a 2006 dodge durango that i absolutely "love" except the fact that the past 12 months has developed a problem. Every time i fill up with gas (even at different stations), my gas tank over fills and gas is "gushing"out and a good amount is lost. My concern is not so much the expense inwaste of extra gas i need to pay for. But, i have gas dripping down theside of my truck and in between my bumper fascia. And, this also causesa great scent of gasoline that also somehow gets into the vehicle, andlingers for quite a bit of time afterwards. I have purchased thisvehicle mainly for the safety and security it has given me while driving my 4 year old son. He hates the smell of gas. I now fill up when i do nothave him in the truck. I have done some research and discover a recallid# 58886 which seems to describe the same exact situation i am having.unfortunate for me, this recall was for 2005 dodge durango's and not 2006.i would like to have this situation investigated. I would like torequest a recall for 2006 dodge durango's be considered as well. Inspeaking with my gas station petroleum pumper's, they all (at variousstations such as sunoco and hess) mention to me that a lot of durango that come in have that problem. So, it does make me feel better knowing i amnot alone.this is still a consistent problem that really, for safety reason must be resolved. Unfortunately, there are many inconsiderate people that i have come across at gas stations that take pleasure in discarding their lit cigarettes onto the ground. And, i will be very upset (if i was to live) if that ignited light came in contact with gas that has spilled out of my vehicle. Igreatly thank you for taking the time to read my concern. And, i reallyam hoping that you can help to resolve my situation, and others in my area.
When filling gas tank after nozzle clicks off within second a gush of fuel shoots out of tank. We are only owner of vehicle and this has happened for years. We had fuel tank replaced once and it continues to happen and is getting really bad again. Today so much fuel shot out that if someone was standing there it would of soaked them. It was so obvious and so much that the other people at the station saw it and were in disbelief. This is getting to be real dangerous.
In september 2009, we purchased a used 2006 dodge durango.it only had 17,500 miles and was very well cared for.everytime i fuel the vehicle, the gas overflows.it seems very dangerous but i do not see a recall for a 2006 durango, only a 2005 durango. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I have read complaints from other 06 durango owners of my problem. There was a recall for the 05 model but not the 06. My gas tank overflows on me and down the side of my car and to the ground. I feel this is unsafe in multiple ways and feel that dodge should address it.
Every third or forth fill up gas will come spurting out of the fuel filler. Could be very dangerous.

I'm the original owner of a 2006 dodge durango with 54k miles.on many occasion, when filling up the gas tank, gas shoots out in force when the tank becomes full.not sure why the gas pump didn't shut off.this has happen several time but always when filling up the tank.
Every time when filling the gas tank, the fuel overflows and spills out.started in early 2010.have seen hundreds of similar complaints for the 2006 model on various websites.the 2005 model was recalled for this issue.
Fuel spills out when filling the tank.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated during refueling, the automatic fuel nozzle shuts off, and the fuel would spray out of the fuel tank filler neck onto his clothing and ground. The spillage consisted of approximately one gallon of fuel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they informed that the fuel tank assembly would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact stated that there was a recall on the 2005 model related to the similar defect under nhtsa campaign id numbers 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly: filler pipe and cap); and 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly). The failure mileage was 70,000.
From the time my vehicle was new i had issues with the gas nozzle clicking off but the gas coming back out of the tank.in the beginning it was a very little bit and i could stand there and monitor it and pump in slowly and it wouldn?t do it.it has steadily progressed to where every time i try and fill my tank the gas pump would click off but the gas gushes out onto me and the car and the pavement ? anywhere from 2 to 5 cups of gas. The tank isn't even full when it does this. I have had it do it when i have only pumped 1 gallon into thetank and continue to click off every couple of cents. It takes at least 10 minutes to put gas in my tank and then it isn't full.it does this no matter what gas station i go to. I have had the tps replaced 3 times, the fuel pump twice......i can't help but feel that all of these problems are inter-related. My minor concern is that this will cause a medical emergency for me as i have acute asthma/breathing issues.this has caused asthma attacks that i have been able to control but my fear is one day i will not be able to control it. My major concern is the gushing out of fuel will eventually result in a fire at the gas station. I really cannot believe there has not been a recall issued as this was a problem with the 2005 durango's that a recall was issued (nhtsa campaign id #09v003000, nhtsa action #rq08005) - no one is working to protect the public after their obvious failure to correct the problem.
I have a 2006 dodge durango and every time i fill it up the tank overflows when the automatic nozzle shuts off.this is a safety problem especially when your standing in a pool of gasoline.when researching this problem on the web several 2006 durango owners responded on the dodge forum with the same problem.apparently the 2005 durango had the same problem, but was recalled and fixed.dealers want to fix with a $600 to $700 new tank instead of admitting that it's really a design problem.you should look into this problem before someone gets blown up.
When filling up the gas tank it spews gas back out at you when it reaches full.i have used numerous different gas stations and they all do this.
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.
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 thetank covering the nozzle and anything within 1-3 feet in front of thetank. Dropping about 1/2 gallon of gas everywhere.
When i fill the 2006 dodge durango fuel tank with gasoline the pump does not shut off and fuel sprays fuel all over the car, ground and people if in the way. The 2005's were recalled for this. It says there is a problem with the fuel filler vent. It happens at every station regardless of retailer.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 23,500 and the current mileage was 26,800.
Starting about 3-4 months ago, whenever gas tank is filled, gas gushes back out of the vehicle, even after the pumping stops.we've had this happen numerous times at several different gas stations.this causes waste and a safety hazard, as it usually spills down the side of the vehicle and spews onto whoever filled the tank.vehicle has less than 35k miles on it.
Gas spillback when filling tank.
The contact owns a2006 dodge durango.the contact stated that when she attempted tore fuel the vehicle, the pump would shut off and gas would spew back out onto from the filler neck valve. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap) but did not confirm if the vehicle was included in the recall.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure.the manufacturer was not notified of the failure nor was the vehicle repaired.the current mileage was 69,000 and the failure mileage was 68,000.
I bought my durango over a year and a half ago.this was in the spring when winter rolled around and cooler months all fuel pumps would over fill the fuel tank.problem went away in the spring then this fall/winter the problem came back again.it acts as if the fuel vapor recovery system is becoming restricted with the cooler temperatures.causing fuel to be burped out after the pump shuts off.
2006 dodge durango at about 75,000 miles every time i fill up with gas, the pump shuts off then gas explodes out of the fill tube soaking me and everything around me.don't know the diagnosis or cost of repairs.feel this is a very serious safety problem with this model.am aware that 2005 durangos were recalled due to this problem.
Every time when filling the fuel tank to full, by hand or automatic shutoff, the gasoline sprays out and overflows onto the car, fuel nozzle, and ground when full. This occurs regardless of the speed of filling the tank.
During refueling, when the fuel nozzle stops, there is an overflow of fuel spraying out of the fuel tank neck.what is it going to take for your agency to have an investigation?for an individual to burn while pumping gas due to a spark or even worse, to die?there was a recall for the same car on the previous year, why is there no recall for the 2006 model since it is the same problem?
Fuel spill / spit back during refueling due to faulty inlet check valve (icv).occurs every time when refilling tank. Gas has spilled on my clothes and caused irritation to my skin.it also spills all over ground.this is both a flammable hazard and environmental hazard.called dodge corporate customer care in 2012.they assigned me a case # and case manager.the case manager looked up my vin and said the defect is not covered under any extended warranty for my specific vehicle.
When fueling vehicle, a large amount of gas overflowed filler tube after pump shutoff.gas sprayed approximately 3 feet, covering fueler and pump.
Dear nhtsa,your website lists some 300 or more complaints regarding this vehicle and problem described below.please move to force a solution from chrysler before tragedy strikes!2005 durangos have been recalled for this exact same problem and it obviously continued in the 2006 models. Thanks.my 2006 dodge durango limited began having issues with the fuel tank over a year ago. Every time i fill up the tank, after the nozzle automatically shuts off, gas spews back out of the car onto me and the exterior of the vehicle.and the serb.i called chrysler about the issue but they (chrysler) said they were choosing not to assist in replacing the fuel tank, and at this time has not recalled for this safety issue.
We purchased this vehicle from a used car dealership 12-31-2111 after driving it to the gas station to fill it up i encountered a problem . The fuel pump shut off when the durango was full but immediately after the gas came spraying out of the tank but the pump was off . It sprayed gas all over side of the vehicle and all over me and my clothes it was awful. This has happened 3 times so far and we have owned the vehicle for 3 weeks. After researching online we discovered there is a problem with the tank that crysler/dodge knows about it but there is no recall yet for this year of the durango
Fuel constantly overflows, squirts out of filler nose.
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 and09v003000.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.
Gas spews out of the gas tank filler hole before topping off. This happens at every gas station. The automatic shut off on the gas pumps do not detect that the tank is nearing full. Manually filling very slowly still causes gas to gush back out of the filler hole. Service at dodge dealership said it might be the tank breather, but the did not repair.
When i fill up my fuel tank it fails to stop the gas from bursting out the nozzle when the tank if full.
2006 dodge durango sprays fuel at completion of fuel fill.the fuel spill could result in a fire, injury up to including death.the fuel fill spill has occurred at different gas stations and the issue began after 80,000 miles.
When the gas tank is filled on the 2006 dodge durango, gasoline spews out of the tank. It does not matter which gas station, it still occurs.
Fuel shut off valve in the vehicle is malfunctioned. Bought used a few weeks ago and have filled up3 times now, and every time, the pump is not activated to shut of and fuel flies out o the gas tank, getting all over the vehicle, the gas pump, and sometimes the person pumping the gas. Huge safety hazard!!
At the end of refueling the vehicle will have a burst of gasoline that sprays out of the fuel neck and soaks the side of the vehicle as well as the ground and the person refueling if they are standing next to the vehicle. Same as recall campaign for the year prior (05v034000).
Fuel overflows while filling tank at every fill-up, and at every gas station or pump.started at approx. 45,000 miles.called dealer and they said that hadn't heard of this problem in the 2006 model, only the 2005.have an appt. To check out.luckily i have the extended warranty, which has come in use twice now!
Every time i fill up my gas tank, it spews gas out at me instead of shutting off the pump.it doesn't matter if i hold the pump or put the stopper thing (not sure the correct name) on, until i physically let go of the handle it continues to overflow.the last fill up it actually went all over me!!i called chrysler and have a reference # if needed.i have a 2006 dodge durango limited, but i have owned it for less than 1 year.it has 70000 miles.i have checked to see if there is a recall, but none exist yet.however, there is a recall on the 2005 durango.i feel this is a major safety issue and i would hate to see someone injured--myself, my children, someone else who pulls up at the gas station after i have left and drops a cigarette or something causing an explosion, etc.....

I have a 2006 dodge durango.the automatic fuel shut-off valve, located inside the fuel tank, does not work.this allows for fuel to splash out of the tank each time you fill the tank.from the research that i've done, this is a know problem for chrysler products, which resulted in the recall of several thousand 2005 model year dodge durangos.the problem persists in model years 2006 and 2007 for dodge durangos, chrsyler aspens, jeep wranglers and jeep grand cherokees.this is an extreme safety hazard as the fuel splash unexpectedly.
I am the original owner of a 2006 dodge durango, i never had a problem until my mileage hit 40,000.my problem is when i filled my fuel tank the pump shuts off and gas would gush out of the tank.everyone even strangers would tell me how dangerous this was, a spark from another car or static electricity could start a fire if this happened at the gas station it could be disastrous.the first few times this happened i ended up drenched with gas.i would then stand behind my durango when fueling.and still end up smelling like gasoline because it was all over the ground, the vehicle, the handle and pump. I called my dealer explained what happens and was told there wasn't a recall on this spilling gas problem and if everything that went wrong had a recall they would make no money.does a fire have to start or someone get hurt or die before dodge steps up to the plate and accepts responsibility.i had my fuel tank replaced and was told "this problem was not caused from age, wear and tear it was a manufacture failure.the total cost for this was $1,600.00.changed state from alabama to california at the consumers request. 04/26/11 updated 05/06/11
2006 dodge durango spews fuel when trying to fill up tank.have checked online and this is a big problem.the durango was recalled in 2005 for this same issue.
Fuel tank overflow i have a 2006 dodge durango that has in the past 2 months developed a problem. Every time i fill up with gas (even at different stations), my gas tank over fills and gas is "gushing" out and a good amount is lost. This is a very unsafe situation due to every time i fill up gas runs down the side of my truck and creates a puddle on the ground which could catch on fire!i have done some research and discover a recall id# 58886 which seems to describe the same exact situation i am having. Unfortunate for me, this recall was for 2005 dodge durango's and not 2006. I believe a recall should be initiated for the 2006's as i have seen a lot of postings in forums of many 2006 durango's experiencing the same problem, it appears to be a factory defect as it just started two months ago after about 70,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The vehicle was parked and the contact observed a fuel spill when dispensing over a quart of gasoline into the fuel tank. The contact stated that the fuel sprayed out whenever dispensing fuel into the tank. The failure had occurred since vehicle was purchased. The dealer stated that the failures was directly related to the recall defect under nhtsa campaign id number 05v034000 (fuel system gasoline tank assembly). The failure and current mileages were 7,000.
I have a 2006 dodge durango limited which upon filling with gasoline will overflow instead of cutting off when full.the fuel will shoot out of the opening on the vehicle causing a potential fire hazard.this has been happening now for awhile.
While pumping gas into my 2006 dodge durango limited, the fuel hose shut off sensing that the tank was almost full however the fuel came spewing out of the tank from the vehicle. Approximately 1/4 of a gallon of fuel spilled out onto me, the vehicle, tail pipe and the ground. This has happened now five times in a row.this could be a fire hazard, and definitely a chemical burn on my hands and uncovered feet.there is a recall for the 2005 model year, but the dealer said mine is not covered under that recall.
When filling the gas tank with gasoline, the gas will come spilling out once the tank is full.approximately a pint of gasoline comes squirting out, dousing the handle, side of the vehicle and leaving a puddle of gasoline on the ground.the only way for this to not happen is to prevent filling the car gas tank.i.e. One cannot let the gas overflow mechanism determine when it is full.a recall was already made for the 2005 durango under recall id# 05v034000.my used 2006 vehicle has the same problem.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While fueling the vehicle, approximately a quart of fuel spilled out. The failure had been on-going since december 2010. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the failure and they advised him that the fuel filler tube and filter needed to be replaced. The contact referenced recall 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly:filler pipe and cap and stated he was having the same failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. He contacted the manufacturer and was advised to file a safety complaint. The failure mileage was 81,000 and the current mileage was 85,914.
I am the proud owner of a 2006 dodge durango. However, every time i fill the gas tank, fuel spews from the tank once the pump kicks off. This occurs 100% of the time regardless of the service station or pump used, setting up a potential fire hazard and hazardous waste situation at the service station. Due to the severity of this condition and number of complaints filed (28 on one site), i'm shocked that there has been no investigation or recall issued.i have resorted to stopping the pump well short of filling the tank, which is impractical on long trips.
My 2006 durango has the common fuel over-flowing problem. Upon completion of fill up it overflows a good amount of fuel, often soaking gas attendant, myself and truck.gas station attendant claims that these trucks all overflow like that and they are a big problem.its going to be an even bigger problem once one of these ignites into flames!
I have filled up my vehicle on multiple occasions since i have purchased this vehicle used.every time i fill it up the gas tank bubbles and is shoots a decent amount of gas out of the tank onto the ground and down the side of my car.this causes my car to smell like gasoline and leaves a puddle of approx 1 cup of gas on the ground.at first i thought it was a particular gas stations nozzle, but after going to multiple different stations, i have encountered the same problem.i have not contacted dodge about this problem, but i will be soon.i know there currently is no recall for this, but there should be, this is an extreme safety hazard to have gas flying out of the gas tank.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, fuel spilled to the ground abnormally. The dealer was contacted and advised the contact that the vehicle was not under recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 47,000 and the current mileage was 62,000.updated 01/24/12*lj
When filling the fuel tank , if the fuel nozzle is allowed to auto shut off the tank will spew pressurized fuel back out of te filler neck all over the pump, ground and vehicle.
2006 dodge durango has had multiple engine & electrical problems within 6 month period.first car lost all power while driving at 35 mph, took all strength to get car to shoulder of the road w/o power steering & locked steering column.local mechanic said that computer was fried & covered under emissions warranty.towed to dodge dealership who said there was not a computer problem, just cam shaft needed replacing & recall on instrument panel cluster.after $450 repair for cam shaft & tow, a week later car started having electrical problems.aprox every other time i would start car, the radio & electrical display (clock) on radio would not work--appeared to not get power.six weeks later, check engine light came on again.by this time, original dodge dealership had been closed, so went to another dodge dealer for service.they found another wiring problem with engine.could not identify problem with audio/clock.check engine light went on about 2 months later.this time local mechanic advised it was a fuel pump problem.replaced fuel pump, checked fuse & still could not identify problem with audio/display.9 days later went to start car in the am, and electrical seemed to sputter (lights, instrument pane, wipers, radio) but car would not start.starter does not appear to be engaging the engine at all.diagnosed as started motor problem, starter motor replaced, but car still not fixed.then told battery terminals & cables needed to be replaced.car now starts, but audio/display issue still unresolved.concern that there is a larger problem with the electrical system of this vehicle, which is the root cause of all recent problems.getting scared to drive this car on interstate or in any level of traffic for fear that it will stall out or lose power during operation again.the car only has 42,000 miles on it.first problem started with 37,000 miles on vehicle.i hate this car!!!!!
Fuel tank does not shut off automatically and overflows when fuel tank is full.i have owned this vehicle for almost 4 years and it overflows fuel every time it is filled up.the 2004 and 2005 models had a recall for this, i have read thousands of complaints for 2006 models for the same problem with the fuel tank.when will you make dodge recall the 2006 models for this?i am waiting for a gas station to charge me for haz-matclean up over this.
Around 35 k miles gas tank started spewing gas at the end of fill-up. About 1/2 gallon of gas spews several feet and all over side of durango.does this on every fill at all gas stations.
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
2006 dodge durango gas tank overfills every time.lots of gas spills out. Very dangerous.
When fueling, if allowed to fill up, at the point of full/pump cut off, gasoline will spray out of the fill tube around the nozzle and create a large puddle on the ground. This was intermittent at first, but has since become an every time occurrence. Not only an environmental hazard, this poses serious risks to the passengers (esp. Children)
2006 dodge durango.when i fill up the gas tank there is an overflow of gas that spews out of the gas tank neck after the tank shuts off. Approx. 1/2 gallon of gas ends up on me, side of car, and ground.this has happened about 5 times since november 2009.it has happened at different gas stations and i am not topping off the tank.i had the car checked at a dealer and they said the entire gas tank would need to be replaced.apparently this has happened to 2005 durangos and there was a recall.

When you fill the tank it spews gas all over you this happens every time you fill the tank! the pump handle clicks off then here comes the gas it sprays everywhere.
When filling the tank with gas, at end of fill up gas will spewl out onto car, ground, and myself!! took to dealer was told check valve seal had deteriorated, would need to replace fuel tank. Repair plus labor would be at least $800. Contacted dodge chrysler by email, was called that day. Excellent pr but was told there was no recall at this time for this problem,. There have been other complaints of this problem but not enough to do a recall. Told if i pay the first $200 they would cover the rest, if a recall happens i would be reimbursed this cost.i do not feel that anyone owning this vehicle should be responsible for the cost of this defective regardless of mileage on car. This is a factory defective not caused by ownership. I believe this is a safety hazard, does something serious have to happened to someone and their car before this is taken care of?
When filling vehicle with fuel at several different gas stations, as the gas tank approaches full and the nozzle shuts off, a significant amount of fuel sprays out of the filler tube.it has sprayed me twice and today sprayed the gas pump unit as itis under pressure when it overfills.
After filling vehicles tank up with gas after the nozzle shut off gas flowed back out ,spilling over me and my vehicle.
Went to fill durango up two days after purchased used.the pump shut off automatically and sprayed approx.one liter of gas on my hand, sleeve, right leg, right shoe, and the fender/bumper of the vehicle.this is a serious safety concern and there is no warning from dodge that this may occur.this was a recall on 2005's and dodge representatives told me when i asked about an assist, "if it was a recall before and isn't now, the issues would have been addressed on the assembly line".this statement, from my case manager, is clearly not true.there are several videos on youtube.com of this happening to vehicles with vin numbers that are post recall.
There is a known issue of fuel overflow with 2nd generation dodge durango that dodge refuses to issue a safety recall to fix. At the conclusion of refueling approximately 0.25 gal will gurgle to forcefully eject itself from the fuel filler neck of the durango. Spilling fuel every fill up is a personal safety and environmental pollution concern which needs to be addressed.

Fuel spray at the end of refueling contacted dodge for the concern for a service bulletin dated 1-20-2012 but my veh doesn't have a x39 for the unlimited time and mileage warranty extension, the bulletin states for 2006-2008 durango and 2007-2008 aspen,no build date,no salt belt area,no engine size. Dodge decides what durango gets a x39 ..and if the cust;experiences this symptom/condition ,proceed with the repair what does it take to get the x39 so we can get this fixed...
Fuel spills out of fuel tank when filling fuel tank.
We have a 2006 dodge durango that spits out fuel whenever you file the gas tank.i am aware of several other complaints with this year model and exact problem.i am concerned that this defect is gong to cause personal injury from gas contacting skin or eyes, or possibly a fire situation that can cause loss of life.we are the original owners of this vehicle and noticed that the problem developed sometime in 2010.dodge is showing no recall, however, i am convinced that this is a manufacture defect.i have never experienced a problem like this with any vehicle i have owned.
Fuel spills out of the tank at the end of refueling.
Have begun experiencing overfilling of fuel tank during pumping at fuel stations.problem occurs at various locations and is not fuel-provider specific.the resulting gas spill is significant and affects the individual pumping the fuel as well as spilling on the vehicle to a degree that fuel fumes are present in the interior of the closed vehicle.contacted local dodge dealer, as well as, dodge corporate and both have refused to pursue matter despite a recall of the 2005 model year (with the same body style) for the same defect.
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 wasfiled with the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 97,800 and the current mileage was 99,300.
A large amount of fuel sprays out of fuel filler when gasoline pump shuts off at tank full.
For the last 3 months, every time i fill up my gas tank, when i remove the nozzle from the tank gasoline overflows on the side of my vehicle and the ground.at first, i thought it must be a problem with the pump at the gas station, but i reported it to my dealer during my last oil change, and he said my gank tank needed to be replaced.
Upon filling up my 2006 dodge durango vin#[xxx] at the gas station gas sprays out of the inlet following pump shut-off. I brought the vehicle to chrysler to fix and even though this is a widely know problem from my research they do not cover it outside of having a technical bulletin to aid in the repair. I have been sprayed on my person several times with gasoline because of this problem and on occasion have to inform the attendants of the spill due to the volume of gasoline. I see this as a serious safety issue that needs to be resolved on this year and the others that it effects as it is an obvious and dangerous design issue.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2006 dodge durango that spills fuel from the filler tube when refueling.exactly as stated in the 2005 dodge durango campaign 05v034000, however 2006 is not included.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that fuel would spill out from the filler neck while refueling. The dealer informed the contact that the check valve failed and advised him to replace the fuel tank. The manufacturer did not offer any assistance since the vin was not included in the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 05v034000 ( fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap). No repairs were performed. The failure mileage was 62,000 and the current mileage was 65,000.
When fueling the vehicle the gas pump clicks off then fuel spews out the filler neck of the vehicle this has caused the paint to come off and a hole to rust in the side of the vehicle just under the fuel cap.
Fuel tank overflows during fill up.i just receive a recall on this issue on 2/01/2013. I bought this car new on march of 2006. I don't know when this problem starts but notice the problem and blame the gas station for their pump not working properly. This problem has caused me a lot of problem because of gasoline shooting out of a tank to spill all over me (loss of clothes,shoes and rash on my arm, hand,footand legs).now my car where the fuel tanks is located caused the paint torust ($600 to fix) and my bumper to discolored and because i rotate my tires most of my log nuts($200) has to be replaced.i cannot quantify how much gasoline i loss during that period.i have called them regarding compensation for this matter and was told that they will fix the problem which they did but not compensate me.
Every time i fill up my 2006 dodge durango, the gasoline nozzle shuts off when the tank is full but the vehicle still "spits" out roughly a half gallon of gasoline all over the ground, vehicle and the person filling the tank.i have tried many gas stations to be sure that it is not the pump and have verified that it is the vehicle.in my research and discussions with dodge dealers, it seems that a recall was issued for 2005 models for this exact issue, but they fail to issue one for the 2006 model.i called daimlerchrysler and they refused to do anything about it.the mechanic says that it will cost roughly $800 to have the fuel tank replaced and get the problem fixed.i find this unreasonable as this is a manufacturer defect and a potentially serious safety hazard.as a firefighter, i have experience with fuel spills and the definite potential for a large fire as a result of a small fuel spill such as this.in addition to the danger of fire there is also a potential for aspiration of gasoline liquid or fumes as a result of the gasoline spewing out at the person filling the tank.this could cause potential death if it occurred.i personally have had the gasoline spew out and got a drop in my eye, requiring me to run to the bathroom and flush my eye out.the spills have also ruined articles of my clothing and will eventually ruin the paint on my vehicle.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated while adding fuel it began to spill out from the filler neck. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was advised not to refuel to capacity. The failure continued to recur. The vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the fuel tank and connector hose needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 85,000. The vin was unavailable.
I have a 1996 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 09v003000and nhtsa campaign number: 09v003000the fueltank 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
I just purchased a 2006 dodge durango slt and everytime we fill the tank gas shoots out of the filler neck.you can hear it forcefully coming up the fill tube after the nozzle clicks off.if you slowly continue filling then you can top off the tank with another 5 gallons.this has happened several times and covered me with gas while standing over 3 feet away from the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that whenever refueling, he noticed that the fuel would spray out of the filler neck continuously. The manufacturer offered an extended warranty related to the fuel tank inlet check valve; however the parts remained unavailable for three months. The manufacturer was notified and they could not provide an expected date for the remedy parts. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000...updated 07-10-13
Gas spills from vehicle when we stop refilling the vehicle. It surges from the tank due to a defective check valve. Gas spills on the vehicle and ground, creating an extreme safety hazard. There is a recall (nhtsa campaign id number: 05v034000) for this problem, but chrysler has excluded our vehicle from the recall even though we are having the exact same problem. There are hundreds of examples of other people having the same problem, but chrysler refuses to fix any but the few vehicles included in the recall. Chrysler just advised us to get the problem fixed on our own, send them the bill, and they will consider repaying us. This is not right. Chrysler knows they have this problem, but are evidently doing everything they can to not fix our vehicle, along with thousands of other similarly affected vehicles. The nhtsa should widen the recall, as this is a serious defect that could cause serious fire and environmental damage.
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.
Filling the gas tank results in fuel being blown back out of the fill.
When fueling vehicle gas will discharge from the filler neck prior to valve closing on fuel filler hose.occurs at multiple fill stations and is not specific to one fuel pump.defect and complaints noted for 2005 model year appear to be present in 2006 model year.no damage or replacement has occurred to oem fuel system. Failure occurs with every fueling for the past six months.failure involves environmental and safety impacts for discharge of raw fuel while fueling.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that fuel spilled out from the filler neck while refueling. The failure was experienced numerous times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but assistance with repairs was denied because the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 05v034000 (fuel system gasoline: storage: tank assembly: filler pipe and cap). The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 160,000. The vin was unavailable.
When filling the fuel tank, fuel gushes out of the fill tube as the pump shuts off. This poses a serious risk of fire and explosion. It has also rusted the area below the fill tube.
When pumping gas, the gas splashes out when the gas tank fills up.i have tried different service stations, holding the gas nozzle or letting it shut off by itself with the same results.it is a big splash, enough that i have to stand back in order to not get it on my clothes and shoes.this has happened several times.
I have a 2006 dodge durango limited with the 5.7l motor. Every time i fill up with gas it spews out excess gasoline. This happens at any gas station. The vehicle has 72,500 miles on it and this problem has occurred for the last 12,000 miles. I have contacted various dealers and i go thru the same routine: vin reference, then they proceed to tell me it is not covered under lifetime powertrain warranty, and that they have never heard of the issue, and to contact dodge corporate for assistance. When i contactcorporate i follow the steps and they always tell me they cannot assist me at that time. I can never talk to a real person. I have a family and i do not want a fire leading to my families endangerment.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)gas shoots out of my gas tank when i fill it up at the station spilling gas all over the side of the vehicle and usually on me too.it is a 2006 dodge durango, i believe there is a defective part or complete gas tank. I have placed a complaint with chrysler/dodge already. Complaint number i filed was [xxx] .this happens every time i fill up with gas!!!
On february 16, 2009 i was filling the fuel tank on my 2006 dodge durango.i had the dispenser handle depressed, by hand, to fill the tank; the fuel nozzle did not have a catch to keep the handle depressed.the automatic fuel cutoff on the dispenser functioned and stopped the flow of fuel once the tank was full.within a second or two fuel came gushing out of the tank, spilling onto the side of the vehicle and onto the ground.luckily i was standing off to the side and not directly in front of the fuel tank filler neck, otherwise i would have been soaked in gasoline.i would estimate 1/4 to 1/2 of a gallon of gas came out of the fuel tank.i thought it might have been the dispenser, but this has happened numerous times at many different gas stations since.in an effort to prevent this, i slow down the rate of fuel flow to where barely any fuel is being dispensed, when i believe the tank is near full.sometimes i am able to stop the flow in time and there is no spillage.other times the fuel gushes out of the tank spilling onto the side of the vehicle and onto the ground as it has done before.after researching on the internet i see there are many other instances of this occurring for 2006 dodge durango's and other year models of the durango.i found a recall for a limited number of 2005 dodge durango's for the same problem i have, but there has not been a recall of the 2006 durango to date.there are many other reported incidents of this occurring:while this has not cause a fire or serious damage to date, had there been a spark or static electricity at the time this occurred, this would have certainly endangered not only myself, but my family and every one else at the filling station.
I recently purchased a 2006 dodge durango slt. On every gasoline fill up, the gas pump does not get triggered to shut off and gasoline violently with force sprays a significant quantity of gasoline directly out of the fuel nozzle, down the vehicle, and onto anything within close proximity to the nozzle, then down to the ground, pump hose.if standing holding the nozzle, i have been sprayed with gasoline.this has occurred at every fill up, regardless of gas station i've tried.this is extremely dangerous, and i see via multiple sites is not limited to just my durango.
When filling up gas tank gas overflows creating a huge mess, at-least half a gallon comes gushing out. This has damaged the paint and has dowsed me with gasoline numerous times.

While fueling the car at the gas station i keep continuing to have back-flow of gas when filling up. It is happening every-time and i think this is not a safe thing to have gas coming flying back out and getting over the ground. 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.the inquiry is rq08005 and the recall is 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline storage tank assembly filler pipe and cap).we need to pressure them to fix this issue for all the durango's.

We get drenched with gasoline when we fill up our 2006 durango gas tank. When the gas pump clicks off, gas shoots out from the fuel fill. In checking with dodge, they have exact problem with their 2005 durango, which was recalled.this 2006 needs to be recalled too.very dangerous situation, not only for us, but for the next fuel customer who may be standing in a pool of gasoline from our durango.

It has gone all over my wife's arm along with the side of the vehicle itself. Very dangerous issue. I understand there is a recall for '05's but not '06's. Same issue so why not. Are they waiting for a death to occur. Dodge says they will not fix it unless i pay first to have a diagnosis and then i still have to pay $450 of the total bill! how about working thru dodge/chrysler to get this issue solved before it is too late. Thank you.
2006 dodge durango fuel overflow while filling.problem started about 4 months ago, and happens with every fueling.there are two existing fuel overflow recalls on the 2005 dodge durango, but no similar recalls for the 2006 durango yet.
2006 dodge durango fuel filling shutoff is not working anymore.when the gas pump clicks off, gas comes spewing out of the durango all over the place.
Fuel refueling causes an overflow condition of about 3 cups of fuel.it happened at about 50,000 miles and continues every fillup after that.dealer says they can't fix it.
When fueling my vehicle and the pump clicks off, fuel just spews from the tank all over the ground [about a cup of gas each time] which upsets me due to the environmental factor and safety issues. This happens every time over the past year, even at the lowest refuel speed. I noticed many complaints from other 2006 durango owners and that 2005 models have been recalled for the same problem.the my car is a 2006 durango, 47,000 miles, 5.7l hemi, 4wd.
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.
2006 dodge durango overflows fuel when filling to full status.i currently stop filling vehicle to avoid the spill of fuel and not getting all over my clothing.this happens on every occurrence when filling vehicle.
I have a 2006 dodge durango, and have had it for a year and a half. The fuel overspray has been a problem since the beginning. If i leave it on the auto fill it will click off and puke almost a full quart of fuel on the ground. If i hand fill it at a slower rate it will puke only about a pint. This last time in a snowstorm it sprayed upward and not just out, had i not been wearing glasses i would have had fuel in the eyes. Potential for lost eyesight for the shorter people.
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.
I own a 2006 dodge durango slt with around 70,000 miles on it. Everytime i fill up at a gas station from empty, the tank overflows around 4-5 cups of gasoline. Once the pump stops, gas starts spewing from the filler neck. I've contacted the dealer and they have stated the current recall only covers the 2005 durango's and i would have to pay for this repair at my own cost. I feel this is a major safety issue and it needs to be addressed immediately! i have seen numerous reports about this on the web and even videos proving it yet nothing has been done about it.

Fuel fill-up worked flawlessly until ~45k.every fill-up after that (now at 58k), allows gas to spill out on the ground.the gas pump clicks off, and then 1 to 2 cups of gasoline gush out of the filler neck.the only solution i've found is to stop filling the gas tank before it's full (guessing game required to prevent environmental hazard).how can this not be a recall?
Purchased 2006 dodge durango new in october 2006.sometime in 2009 this began: when you refuel the vehicle, the check valve in the fuel tank does not close at the end of refueling and fuel sprays out from the vehicle filler neck.this occurs nearly every time i refuel.consequences: fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.i contacted dodge to inform them of this.i took the durango to my dealer and they informed me that i have to order a new fuel tank which is about $700.00 installed.the dealer service representative also informed me the fuel tanks were on back order due to so many being replaced.*tw
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.
Fuel overflow spills out of gas tank when the tank gets full. Spillage amount is between 1/4 and 1/3 of a gallon each tine the tank is filled to the top. The fuel spits out of the fill receptacle like it is under pressure.
When filling fuel tank,fuel spills out of fill holeafter fueling is complete.happens every time we fill the vehicle.same issue that was happeningon 2005 model that had a recall.
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'svin is not listed as eligible for the extendedwarranty 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 dealershipfor 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.
I have a 2006 dodge durango that when filling with fuel the fuel comes pouring out of the fuel filler. This occurs every time i let the pump try to stop on it own. I tried many gas stations to make sure it was not the pumps fault and found it happens at all gas stations. This is not safe as quote of fuel comes out that could start a fire or splash into the face of a short person. I talked to the dealer ship and they say i must replace the tank and possibly the fuel filler tube. This happens every time the vehicle is filled with fuel.
Im sick of gas coming back out of gas filler necki can not believe dodge has not addressed this problem as they did on the 2005 durangos i believe this could be dangerous and gas is a known carcinogen it happens everytime i fill up i was told at the dealer there was no recall im just tired of it.
I have a 5.7 hemi and the problem just started with fuel splashing out after a fill up, pump clicks off, remove the fuel nozzle and out of the vehicle fuel fill gas shoots out and all over. Maybe a pint or quart of gas, hard to measure when it's all over you, the ground and car..... I also called my dodge dealer and my vin was not part of the recall.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While adding fuel to the vehicle, it would spill out of the tank onto the vehicle and the contact. The dealer stated that the fuel tank needed to be replaced; however, there was no guarantee that the replacement would remedy the failure. There was no recall related to his year, make and model vehicle. The contact is concerned about the safety risk since the fuel leak could potentially cause a fire to occur. The current mileage was 43,000 and the failure mileage was 35,000.updated 01/06/10 updated 01/07/10.
When filling fuel tank completely, fuel spits back out at the owner and down the quarter panel, every time.we purchased this vehicle used one month ago.we've tried different gas pumps at different gas stations owned by different companies. I feel this vehicle should be covered under the recall that covers earlier durangos.i rather lick a fat clown's [xxx] than buy another chrysler product.

When filling up my 2006 dodge durango with gasoline, just after the pump clicks off a large amount of gas will spew out from the filler entrance. This has happened at different gas stations. This started happening about a year ago.
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?
Fuel sprayed out of the filler tube after filling the tank to full and nozzle clicked off. This has happened on several occasions. 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.
When fueling 2006 dodge durango, like one quart of fuel erupts out of fuel tank filler when tank fills completely this happens to me every time.
I have a 2006 dodge durango. Everytime i fuel the vehicle gas spills from the filler neck when it nears the full point. This will happen whether i am running the pump by hand or whether i have the pump in auto fill. I have tried several different gas stations also. If you are not paying attention fuel comes out with enough pressure to cover a person from the knee area down. Not only am i covered in gas but the outside of the vehicle and the ground below are also. The inside of the vehicle has a very strong gas odor. I feel like this creates a huge safety concern for myself, my children, and the next person to pull up to that pump that now has gas on his tires and shoes. All it would take would be a small ignition source to have a serious accident. I have checked with dodge and there is no recall covering this issue for my year model. This seems to be very common on durangos between the 2005-2007 years. The 2005 year has been identified as a defect for recall. Why haven't they realized all of the years are?
Recently purchased 2006 dodge durango.everytime i get gas, no matter where i get it, the gas shoots out of the filler tube when it is done filling.this happens no matter how slow it is filling, usually dumping at least a pint, even up to a quart of gas onto the car and the ground creating a very serious fire hazard.this happens everytime i get gas.what can i do?
I have a 1996 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 09v003000 and nhtsa campaign number: 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.*cw
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.
Just purchased 2006 dodge durango slt on tuesday, june 22, 2011.was filling gas tank this evening, pump shut off and about 1/2 a gallon of gasoline sprayed out of the vehicle, all over me and the ground.thought i did something wrong until i got home and researched this incident and see that this is a very common thing with these durango's and something needs to be done about this before someone gets seriously injured!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!what if this would have sprayed into my eyes?why won't chrysler do a recall on these and fix them.i am going to be scared now to pump gas when i need it!!i have owned this vehicle for 2 days now...........please help us durango owners get this problem fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!chrysler needs to have a serious recall and get this fixed before someone gets hurt.it's documented quite well that this is a problem.what is it going to take?
On my 2006 dodge durango, every time i fill up to where the gas nozzle clicks it spews fuel all over the place. It is usually under a quart, but it has repeatedly caused some scary circumstances as to where i feared for my safety.
When filling up with gasoline, upon the fuel pump turning off, the durango's fuel tank will spray gasoline back out to the individual filling up, and leak fuel all over the vehicle and ground.this happens every time i fill up, regardless of filling station.this is documented in countless forums and videos online.the 2005 durango has a recall for this as dodge recognized the risk of a vehicle or fuel station fire.this is dangerous, easily repeatable, and terrible for the environment.and worse yet, dodge even appears to be aware of the situation.this should be fixed by dodge.
After filling vehicle with fuel gas will shoot out of intake area.approximately 1/4 to 1/2 gallon.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated while refueling the vehicle, fuel spewed back out from the filler neck spilling onto the contact.the manufacturer was contacted and advised that they were aware of the failure but because there was not a recall, they were not willing to assist with repairs.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic that located the failure at the check valve filler tube. The dealer advised the check valve filler tube, gas tank and the sending unit be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 72,000.

Everytime i put gas in my tank and is almost full i get a shower of gas on me, the car, the floor. This is getting to be ridiculous, i have had to come home and change clothes because of the fuel spill. Are we waiting for someone to catch on fire or have someone killed before this issue gets resolved. The 2005 durango has the same defect and it was recalled. Please anyone do something about it before somebody gets injured or killed.
I have a 2006 dodge durango and when you fill the fuel tank, fuel gushes out of the pipe when the pump shuts off. Even when you pump it slowly near the end, this occurs. Sometimes it can almost be a half a gallon all over the ground and shoes and clothes.
Gas no longer automatically shuts off.gas spills out everytime i refuel.i have to guess when i should stop the fueling but sometimes i miscalculated and it all over my shoes and the ground. Fire hazard in the wait.
Every time i fill my 2006 dodge durango up with gas, it overflows and spews gas everywhere. It spills approximately 1 pint of gas onto the ground and whomever is pumping the gas.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, gasoline fuel would spew back out from the filler tube spilling onto the contact and the ground. The dealer advised that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed there were no recalls on the vehicle. No assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 58,000.
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.
Some fuel escapes from the vehicle through the filler neck of the fuel tank filler tube at the end of refueling. Maybe inlet check valve not fully close at the end of refueling.just like 2005 recall but no recall issued on 2006. I've gotten sprayed with gas 6 times so far (about a pint each time) when filling tank.
We own a 2006 dodge durango that we purchased new.it now has approx. 34,000 miles.within the last 3 months, the gas tank overflows whenever we fill up with gas.the fuel pump shuts off but then fuel comes gushing back up out of the tank.it runs all over down the side of the truck and splashes back usually landing on our feet and hands.i understand there was some type of recall for this same issue on 2005 durangos.
The fuel line check valve sticks allowing gasoline to spit back out when filling up the gas tank.this is a 2006 dodge durango, but the problem is identical to the 2005 model recall on the same issue, and which appears well documented elsewhere, including this website which shows the same issue.http://www.safetyresearch.net/2011/03/23/fuel-spit-back-continues-to-plague-chrysler-vehicles/my local dealer quoted me $1,200 to replace the valve, and chrysler customer care said that they "might' pay a goodwill payment to reimburse me if i got it fixed.not sure what to do especially if it is recalled like it should be if the 2005 model was for the same reason.
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.
Due to the faulty fuel check valve my vehicle has a line of rust straight down from the gas cap.dodge repaired the check valve but will not cover any body work due to the mileage/date when the recall repair was performed.with dodge being at fault for faulty equipment they should also cover the damage caused to my vehicle from the equipment.i have contacted dodge on multiple occasions but have been turned down for a resolution.please help!
Dangerous fuel safety problem with 2006 dodge durango ! when filling gas tank, the pump automatically shuts off and approximately 1-2 pints of gas shoots out of the filler nozzle. It doesn't matter what brand of gas pump, or how much fuel is dispensed. This always happens when filling up.

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.
My 2006 durango has 70,000 miles on it.in the past few weeks, my wife reported to me on three occasions that when she fills up the gas tank, the gas comes spewing out all over the ground, car, gas pump and anything else within a few feet of the nozzle.i witnessed it for myself yesterday.unbelievably dangerous!i've done some research and found out that the 2005 model of the same vehicle has had a recall for this same issue.i found many people describing the same problem on 2006 durangos.this safety issue needs to be addressed immediately before someone gets hurt (or worse).why hasn't the nhtsa done anything about this?i've heard estimates of $600-$900 for me to pay for the repair.dodge should pay for this wide-spread safety issue.
Fuel over-spills when filling tank.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. Whenever the contact fueled the vehicle, the gasoline would spill back out onto the vehicle. The contact called the dealer who offered no assistance.

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)
I just purchased a used 2006 dodge durango. Everytime i fill it up with gasoline, when it gets full, gasoline overflows from the filler tube and gets on the ground and me. I have read on dodge forums that this a common problem among durango owners and i feel is a safety issue.
Gas station fuel pumps do not automatically shut off when refueling vehicle resulting in fuel gushing out the filler pipe and spilling down the side of the vehicle.this occurs regardless of the gas station used and therefore appears to be a problem with the vehicle.
Gas spills out of gas tank when filling up tank. Known incident and recall issued on other years.
Everytime i have filled up my gas tank for the past 2 months it overflows. This causes a fair amount of gasoline to flow out of the fill area and onto the ground. There is so much that on several occasions i have had to notify the gas attendants on duty so proper measure can be taken for the spill due to the potential fire hazard involved. On december 14th i went to a dealership to have vehicle assessed, and they advised it is the fuel tank check valve that is not working properly.it will cost $721 to replace because the check valve is part of the whole fuel tank assembly.to keep this from happening,until i can afford to replace the tank, i will try to not fill up my tank completely.
This issue always happens after the fueling process has ended:after the gas tank is filled and the nozzle has clicked off, gas will spew from the tank. This is not a drip; it literally shoots out of the fill point on the car (like there is back pressure in the tank). This happens 95% of the time the car if fueled at a gas station and it does not matter what gas station we are at. We have found that this spewing is not as severe if we fill the tank slower toward the end of the fill up, but it doesn't always help.
While fueling my 2006 dodge durango limited last night, the fueling nozzle clicked off at 19.6 gallons and then approximately 1/4 gallon of gas spilled back out of the fueling inlet of the vehicle getting on my hand, feet, car and ground.this is the 6th time in a row this has happened and at different gas stations.i have contacted dodge who refuse to accept the vehicle is the problem, and refuse to admit other owners are having the same issue.
Everytime i put gas in my tank and is almost full i get a shower of gas on me, the car, the floor. This is getting to be ridiculous, i have had to come home and change clothes because of the fuel spill. Are we waiting for someone to catch on fire or have someone killed before this issue gets resolved. The 2005 durango has the same defect and it was recalled. Please anyone do something about it before somebody gets injured or killed.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango.the contact was refueling the vehicle when gasoline began to spew from the filler neck.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the entire fuel tank would need to be replaced.the vehicle was repaired.the failure did not recur.the failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 88,000.
When i refuel my 2006 dodge durango after the gas pump shuts off there is a burst of fuel that will flow out of my gas tank and leak all over the side of the car.this can be extremely hazardous to myself and the children in the car if a spark is present.this issue happens everytime i refuel my vehicle all the way and has now cause the paint to also to start coming off under the gas tank.
I own a 2006 dodge durango slt. When i fill the gas tank the gas overflows regardless of which gas station i am at. The pump will not shut off. I found a website online with 49 similar complaints! thank you!http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2006/dodge/durango/fuel+system.
With in the last 2 months without any warrning during filling up at an service station the gas tank over flowed losing about 1 - 1 1/2 gallons of gas. This has only happen once within the last 8 months which i don't return to that service station. Now it happen at all service station i been too. The only correction that don't cost is not to fill the tank to the recomened level. But with the tank not being fill more fuel is being burn depending on vehicle uses.
When filling the vehicle up with gas, the sensor to stop the gas pump does not work.result is an overflow of about .5 gallon of gas to spill on the exterior of the vehical and ground below.

When filling up the gas tank the tank overflows spraying gas all over.
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.
Dodge durango gas tank fuel overflow problem.
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.
At about 58,000 miles my 2006 dodge durango began to overflow or spit back a large amount of fuel when topping off the tank.the amount of fuel is about 1/2 to 1 gallon in size and spits out of the filler neck in a flowing spray.it does this every time i fill it till the pump auto shuts off.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while adding gasoline to the fuel tank it spilled back out. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who stated that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 10,000 and current mileage was 60,000.
Gasoline spits out of fuel filler neck on 2006 dodge hemi durango whenever the tank is filled. Vehicle purchased new in june 2006. Fuel spillage issue began in approximately june 2009 at about 75,000 miles. I have cleaned all of the vents and filler tubes to no avail. Problem continues.identical to failures recalled by campaigns 05v034000 and 09v003000 which claimed the problem had been resolved by a manufacturing change to the fuel inlet check valve.
A month after i bought my 2006 dodge durango that is when it started spitting out gas. It doe it when i try to fill it up. I have had this truck for two years and nothing has fixed the problem. I am afraid to fill it up because every time i do it spits back out on me to where it get on my clothes. I have a toddler and can't risk her inhaling the fumes so i cant fill the truck up causingthe truck eat the gas quicker.
Fuel over flows out of the filler tube every time i fill the tank.
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.
Gasoline spews from filler neck every time when i fill tank with gasoline.every filling station i stop at is the same!! i spill gasoline on me, the car, the pavement.the nozzle will not shut off automatically. If someone were to throw a cigarette toward me there could be a gasoline fire with me in the middle of it.my dealer says there must be a problem with me when i fill my tank.i am 63 years of age, and have owned 15 cars or so, with no problems like this!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the end of filling the gas tank, frequently when pumps shut off, gasoline is ejected from the gas tank filler opening. This occurs at different gas stations indicating that it is not specific to a pump or station.
During fueling operations the vehicles fuel tank was almost full which triggered the fuel pump to shut off, and then immediately fuel began rushing out of the fueling nozzle of the vehicle getting on the side of the vehicle, my hand, foot and the ground.this has happened more than 60 times since owning the vehicle in 2006, and now happens every time i fill the tank to full. There was a similar problem with the 2005 durango that justified a recall, and the same problem exists with the 2006, although there has been no recall. I hope that it doesn't take a major incident, fire or death before chrysler takes this seriously and does the right tyhing by repairing the bad valve in these tanks.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that fuel spilled from the filler neck while refueling. The failure recurred whenever the fuel tank was filled to capacity. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
When my fuel tank is empty and i refill the tank, after the pump clicks off gas pours out of the tank.this has been happening for about 7 weeks.also sometimes when starting the vehicle it doesn't start but continues to turn itself over and over even after the key is shut off.this happens sporadically and dodge refuses to fix either one although the vehicle is still under warranty, because it cannot be duplicated at the shop.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While refueling the vehicle, gasoline began to spill from the fuel filler neck. The failure recurred whenever the contact attempted to refuel the vehicle.

The failure mileage was 55,000 and the current mileage was 58,000. The vin was unavailable.
When filling the fuel tank on my 2006 dodge durango, gasoline surges out of fuel tank onto the vehicle, the ground and the person filling the vehicle if they are standing too close.as much as a 1/2 pint of fluid may surge out once the tank has been completely filled.this happens every time unless you are filling the tank very slowly.it appears that the paint is being damaged from the gasoline running down the side of the vehicle onto the ground.*tw
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.
2006 dodge durango, sprays fuel out of fill port onto the ground, when it should be clicking the nozzle off.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that after refueling, fuel spewed from the tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer confirmed a leak in the detention pump, which needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired and the vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 1,000 and the current mileage was 110,000.
Purchased a used 2006 dodge durango with 21,000 miles on it in 2008. Last year 2009 with approx. 30,000 miles the gas would start shooting out of the fuel neck when i would fill up. This happens everytime i fill the tank up. It gets on the car, my clothes and the ground. Now i can only fill the tank up part way or get soaked with gas. This is very dangerous and they need to find a way to get it fixed.
Whenever we try to fill gas the gas comes spraying back out going on the ground, on the side of the durango and on us. We have tried numerous gas stations in several towns, different pumps at those stations and different kinds of gas.the result is always the same.currently we try to guess how many gallons we can put in and try to stop the pump in time but this is a huge inconvenience.i can't imagine how many gallons of gas we have paid for that went everywhere but in the gas tank not to mention all the car washes we've paid for to wash the gas off the paint. We've even had gas station attendants approach us about the amount of gas on the ground.
Dangerous fuel safety problem ! when filling gas tank, the pump automatically shuts off and approximately 1-2 pints of gas shoots out of the filler nozzle.it doesn't matter what brand of gas pump, or how much fuel is dispensed.this alwayshappens when filling up. I have been having this problem for the past year and the dealer isn't acknowledging the problem.i placed the incident date so as to move to next page of this complaint.
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.
Gas spews out of the gas tank after filling the tank at the pump.same issue was found on the 2005 dodge durango and fixed by dodge.approximately 1/2 to 1 full cup of gas shoots out during fill-up.
When filling the fuel tank, a large quantity of fuel spews out at the end. This started ~6 months ago, and now happens every time the tank is filled. It has happened at a number of different gas stations / pumps. This appears to be the same issue as described in a 2005 durango recall, however 2006 vehicles are not covered in the recall. All equipment is original (no parts replaced).
We bought a used 2006 dodge durango and started having problems with the vehicle soon after our purchase.we have had to have several things fixed via recalls but what is most concerning to me is the gas tank overflow problem we have been having.i went online to look up recalls and found the 2005s were recalled for the same problem but the 2006s do not fall under the recall.i called chrysler/dodge and they agreed to pay half of the 950.00 that is was going to cost to repair the problem.we had to send the original receipt and work order from the dealer which we did.that was back in april and we still have yet to be reimbursed.after researching the internet i found several people in the same situation as myself.the gas shutoff valve clicks off but gasoline spits out all over me, the car, and the ground every time i go to fill it.it has also splashed in my eyes on several occasions.if anybody were to be smoking or have a cell phone this could cause a fire and serious bodily injury.since dodge feels it is not their problem i am ready to rally the troops to sue them.please help me resolve the problem and get my money back from what they should be repairing before somebody blows up.here are several more complaints about the same thing.http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2006/dodge/durango/, http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2006/dodge/durango/fuel+system.
When filling my vehicle at the gas station, the gas will overflow or spit out of the tank instead of stopping normally when the tank nears full level.this happens no matter how slowly i am refueling.there is already a recall for this exact issue on the 05 models but there still is not one for the 06 even though there are several complaints just like this.this is a very dangerous fire hazard that needs to be dealt with before something terrible happens.
Gasoline sprays back onto person filling the tank after the pump kicks off. Safety issuejust purchased as a used vehicle from the dodge dealership in pulaski , wi s&l motors2298 hwy 32pulaski,wi 54162
The shut-off valve on the gas tank for my 2006 dodge durango does not work and significant volumes of gasoline spill onto the ground during each visit to the gas station.due to repeated events over the life the vehicle the paint under and behind the tank has failed and rust under the paint is occurring.
While re-fueling the vehicle after the pump auto shut off clicks off about a second or two later fuel comes spewing out under pressure, spilling fuel all over the quarter panel and bumper, and onto the ground, spilling approximately a gallon or so. It appears there are several issues on this from searching online, i just purchased this vehicle used about 3 months ago.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While the contact was adding gasoline to the vehicle it began to spill out of the fuel tank. The failure recurred whenever the full tank was full.the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and an authorized dealer who stated that he needed to replace the fuel tank.the vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 51,000 and the current mileage was 56,600.

Fuel filler tube overflows after fuel pump at the gas station hits the auto shut-off point. Notified dealer who said they hadn't heard anything about a problem like that, but offered to look into it for a charge. Approximately 1-2 cups of fuel shoots out of the filler tube every time the vehicle is filled. The fuel sprays over whomever is filling the vehicle and is ruining the paint around the filler tube. There is an extreme fire/explosion danger as well as potential for damage to eyes, lungs, and skin. This is also damaging to the environment.
Gas overflow safety issue. When filling up the tank, the safety vavle in the gas tank fails and does not shut the pump off. Due to this, gasoline spurts out of the tank. Approximately 5 cups of gasoline spurts out. Most recently, my daughter filled up our tank and the gas spurted out on her. This is both a safety issue and an enviromental issue.
When filling up the vehicle before the gas shut off engages, gas will spew out from the tank covering our clothing, vehicle and person (hair, face, skin, arms) with gasoline. This occurs every time we fill the tank to its fullest so to remedy the problem, we stop before we know the vehicle would be full. However, this isn't a full-proof fix as this weekend, our son filled the vehicle and was covered in gas in his hair, face,and clothing.
Every time i gas up my 2006 dodge durango, the gas pump will shut off from being full, but a couple seconds later, gas will spray out of the tank with the nozzle still in place, usually spraying myself or my wife and gasoline with then run down the side of the car causing issues with paint, but also leaving a puddle of gasoline.i fear this is a hazard, not only for the reasons of a possible fire, but i fear that the gasoline on myself or my wife will ignite or that it will otherwise cause respiratory or skin issues. This has been going on for a few months now, just after the warranty expired (of course).i fear no recourse with dodge, they will not do anything to help since it is out of warranty, but i know this happens to many many others.
2006 dodge durango with 97,xxx miles.fuel spews out of fill tube when fill-up is complete. Have to fill the vehicle at very slow rate to help prevent it from happening, but does not always prevent.this has been occurring for approximately 1 year.
Everytime i fill up the fuel tank on my 2006 dodge durango, the gas pours out of the filler tube when the pump shuts off when it's full.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While filling the fuel tank, the contact stated the fuel overflowed and sprayed out. The fuel tank does not indicate when it was full and causes the fuel to spray out. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technicians stated the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The contact stated there was a recall on the fuel tank but the vin was not included. The nhtsa campaign id number could not be located. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 94,800.
Every time i fill up with gas it erupts back out of the tank. The local dealer says it is the fuel tank filler check valve. This is located inside the fuel tank. The solution is to replace the fuel tank. Dodge did a recall on the 2005 durango but not the 2006 durango. $900 for the part plus labor.
While refueling my 2006 dodge durango limited at various gas stations between pensacola florida and san antonio texas, fuel comes spewing out of the refuel nozzle once the pump cuts off and the tank is full this has happened over 60 times since owning the vehicle, and at various gas stations across america.my wife has reuined a pair of shoes and a dress because fuel came spewing out and got all over her, the truck and the ground.this is a safety and fire hazard.the 2005 durango was recalled for the same problem, but the 2006 is being ignored.you can see a video of this happening on youtube by looking for 2006 durango fueling problems. Chrysler has contacted me concerning th eproblem,but want me to pay for the diagonosis, and if parts are found defective, they will pay for the repair.i am a retired military war veteran and disabled veteran, i cannot afford $400+ to diagnos a problem they may not cover repairs oni have googled this problem and also belong to two dodge durango web groups and multiple owners have this problem.someone please look into this before a mishap occurs.in the meantime, i only put 19 gallons in my durango and stop fueling.even when i do this, fuel comes back up th etube, but not all the way out.
Gas tank overfilling at fuel fillup.
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 tomention the cost of lost gas.
Bought 2006 dodge durango used and pulled out of dealership to get gas and filled up and gas shot everywhere. Very dangerous and fire hazard.problem filling ever time i get gas.a problem that needs immediate attention before someone gets hurt.
During every fill up at the gas station, gas spits out of the tank of my 2006 dodge durango.it doesn't matter what gas station or which pump i use.i have tried pulling the pump out in the middle of the fueling to vent the tank and this doesn't work either.there was a recall of 2005 dodge durangos for this very same problem.obviously it was not corrected.
2006 dodge durango gushes fuel out of tank during filing.this is a serious problem and dangerous situation that is being ignored by the manufacturer.dealer and manufacturer expect owners to pay for tank replacement although 2005 models had the same issue and had recall. Chrysler needs to recall and cover all years that have this problem before someone is injured or killed!
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.

I own a 2006 dodge durango adventure and every time i fill it up with fuel a half to a whole gallon of fuel comes out of the fuel nozzle. I have been to at least 15 different gas stations. I called dodge and the said there was a recall for this and is only for 2005 dodge durangos'. I and having the same problem and is eating away finish of paint. This should be looked in to due to fire hazard.
At the end of refueling my 2006 durango gasoline just comes pouring out.it goes out all over my durango and me.every single time.the dealer wants to charge me about $800 to replace the tank.
I have a 2006 dodge durango that spews gasoline all over the car, the person filling the tank (if you are not careful) and the ground whenever you are filling it up. I have researched and found there was a recall for the 2005 model year but have only been able to find complaints of similar problems with the 2006 with no solutions. This is a very dangerous condition and very harmful to the environment. We are discouraged from topping off our tanks so i am sure this is a concern. The paint on my car is starting to discolor from this happening numerous time. Please let me know what, if any recourse i have.
1.purchased 2006 dodge durango slt w/ hemi, 8 cyl engine used in aug. Of 2006 with 19,000 mi.responded to 3/9/07 electrical system: instrument panel recall on 12/30/09 at moss bros. Dodge in san bernardino, ca.after initial 12/30/09 visit, experienced power shortages multiple times for the automobile radio.moss bros. Denied any connection between this and their efforts at the instrument panel.refused to help in any way.also began to experience trouble with the gas tank.it began to overflow when i attempted to fill the entire tank.too discouraged to check with moss bros. Again.2.the main failure is that gas spews from the tank if it is filled completely, especially if the gas clip is used to automatically fill it.this happened a few times to me and my spouse at multiple gas stations.we now only fill our tank a certain percentage to avoid the problem.the consequences of not being this careful are that gas will spill out on the car, on us, and at the gas pump.an additional consequence is that we would like to sell this car, but will now be forced to foot the bill for this safety issue before we can do so.3.nothing has been done at this point to correct the problem because we knew it would be costly.as of this month (aug. 2010) we have just read on the internet that there was a recall for 2005 dodge durangos for this exact problem and other people (who own even newer models, i.e. 2007) are still experiencing this safety issue.
I have a 2006 dodge durango. The last 5 times i've filled it up, the gas has overflowed even though the auto shut-off clicked on the pump handle. The first time i thought it must be the pump, but now that it's happened 2 more times, i'm am very worried and would like this fixed by dodge. My vehicle is not on the recall list but is doing the same as the ones that have been recalled.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling, gasoline began spewing from the filler neck and the fuel pump would not shut off. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not takento a dealer for inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that there were no recalls for the vehicle. The failure mileage was 62,000. Updated 3/20/13 the consumer stated within two seconds of the automatic shut off of the fuel nozzle, gas spewed back out of the filler opening with the nozzle still inserted.
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.

Anytime we fill the durango and gas comes back out when the nozzle is removed. There is so much gas that comes out that we have to clean it up from the ground and it has caused bubbles in the paint which have resulted in surface rust. Dealer that we purchased from checked the vehicle and told us there was a clogged filter. We got the filters replaced and when my husband filled it up today 6/26/2012 he said at least 1/2 gallon of gas came back out of the car. This is a dangerous issue because it is leaving gas all on the ground. The only way we can keep the gas from coming out is to remove the nozzle after every single gallon. The fuel sensor inside the car will even register full at 16 gallons of gas when the tank is 26 gallons. We are wasting all kinds of money from the gas coming up, cost of repairing the paint and removing rust and the money we spent on replacing filters that have made this issue worse. This is a serious problem that needs to be fixed. It was fixed in 2005 vehicles but nothing for 2006 and higher even though the problem has not been fixed. Some dodge dealerships are even calling owners liars saying they have never heard of any issue like this or any recalls ever for this type of issue. Someone needs to make dodge responsible for fixing this issue. The gas that spills is going to end up causing a fire and killing people one of these days.

When the gas tank reaches full or nearly full the fuel "burps" out spilling a significant amount of fuel to the side of the vehicle and on the ground. This is nearly 100% of the time. This may be caused by the fuel tank inlet check valve not closing properly this creates a risk of fire and is likely the same issue as the 2005 durango that has a recall for this reason.

The vehicle failure was not diagnosed by a dealer nor was the manufacturer contacted. The contact stated that he had experienced the failure since the vehicle was purchased. The current and failure mileages were 41,000.
Gas spills from vehicle when we stop refilling the vehicle. It surges from the tank due to a defective check valve. Gas spills on the vehicle and ground, creating an extreme safety hazard. There is a recall (nhtsa campaign id number: 05v034000) for this problem, but chrysler has excluded our vehicle from the recall even though we are having the exact same problem. There are hundreds of examples of other people having the same problem, but chrysler refuses to fix any but the few vehicles included in the recall. Chrysler just advised us to get the problem fixed on our own, send them the bill, and they will consider repaying us. This is not right. Chrysler knows they have this problem, but are evidently doing everything they can to not fix our vehicle, along with thousands of other similarly affected vehicles. The nhtsa should widen the recall, as this is a serious defect that could cause serious fire and environmental damage.
At the end of refueling the vehicle will have a burst of gasoline that sprays out of the fuel neck and soaks the side of the vehicle as well as the ground and the person refueling if they are standing next to the vehicle. Same as recall campaign for the year prior (05v034000).
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, fuel spilled to the ground abnormally. The dealer was contacted and advised the contact that the vehicle was not under recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 47,000 and the current mileage was 62,000.updated 01/24/12*lj
2006 dodge durango spews fuel when trying to fill up tank.have checked online and this is a big problem.the durango was recalled in 2005 for this same issue.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact observed an excessive amount of fuel spillage from the fuel tank. The failure occurred wheneverfuel wasdispensed into thefuel tank, followed byfuel spraying out of the tank. The fuel nozzle stopped when the tank was full withfuel continuously spraying out of the tank. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer; however, thepart was unavailable at the time. Currently, the vehicle is in the process of being repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.updated 3/10/10 updated 05/17/10
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated while filling the vehicle with fuel, gas spit out of the tank splashing on the gas on the contact. The contact noticed a recall regarding the fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap for the 2005 model durango but not for the 2006 model. The contact called the manufacturer regarding the issue with the fuel system and the manufacturer informed the contact that there was no recall for the 2006 model, and he would be responsible for the repairs. The contact stated this is a safety issue that could result in a fire. The failure mileage was 62,000.
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.
Dear nhtsa,your website lists some 300 or more complaints regarding this vehicle and problem described below.please move to force a solution from chrysler before tragedy strikes!2005 durangos have been recalled for this exact same problem and it obviously continued in the 2006 models. Thanks.my 2006 dodge durango limited began having issues with the fuel tank over a year ago. Every time i fill up the tank, after the nozzle automatically shuts off, gas spews back out of the car onto me and the exterior of the vehicle.and the serb.i called chrysler about the issue but they (chrysler) said they were choosing not to assist in replacing the fuel tank, and at this time has not recalled for this safety issue.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While dispensing fuel into the fuel tank to its capacity, the fuel began to spray out continuously. The driver stated that the fuel spilled onto his shirt sleeve. There was no personal injury. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. The technician was unable to locate the problem which there was no resolutions.the vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunction. The contact had concern of the potential safety hazard. The failure mileage was 20,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated when refueling the vehicle, the gasoline would spew back out from the fuel tank filler tube. The contact stated the filler tube inlet valve was defective and was able to locate an unknown recall pertaining to the failure. The dealer advised the contacts vehicle was not included in the recall. He did not contact the manufacturer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure and current mileages were 56,000.
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.
When filling 2006 dodge durango the pump will shut off.aprox after 2 seconds fuel will shoot back out of filler all over person filling tank, the truck, and the ground causing a fire and safety hazard!
Fuel spills out when fueling every time.
Refueling the gas pump shuts off and then a large amount of gas sprays out the tank all over the gas pump handle, and down the car. About 2 cups of gas spew out almost every time we fill up - even if pumping slowly. This is a new problem (had the car since new in 2006) and just started last month. This should be recalled or at least fixed as it is very dangerous for my family sitting in the car as i refill, and dangerous in many other ways!
When filling with gas to capacity fuel sprays out of the gas tank all over the car, the ground and me.obvious safety and environmental hazard.
As i braked to park the durango, the engine abruptly stalled. Not sure why it stalled, but i know there was a problem with the 2004-2005 durangos where the engine would stall during sharp turns while braking.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While driving various speeds, the vehicle shut off and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the sideof the road and restarted. Also, while filling up the fuel tank, the pump clicked off at approximately half a tank without filling up the vehicle. The contact stated that when she attempted to continue filling up the tank, fuel spewed from the nozzle. The failures recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to haddad dodge ram (661-241-8095, located at 3000 harris rd, bakersfield, ca 93313) where it was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 16v352000 (air bags) and nhtsa campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags). The contact stated that the technician did not reveal the recall parts that were replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failures recurred and the air bag indicators illuminated occasionally after the recall repairs were performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was not provided.
I can not put gas in the tank. The fuel neck was replaced twice because of the recall. That is not my problem. Very little gas goes in when you engage the fuel pump at the gas station maybe 10 or 12 ounces the the pump clicks off and stops filling. I try it again then slowly put gas in and the fill neck gets full because the tank will not let the gas in and it spits out the fill opening and on the car and ground. I was at costco and the attendant saw my problem and said i had to leave until i get the issue fixed. I was endangering others. I took it to doge were i have my work done and the two fill necks replaced and they said the tank is bad. It needs replaced. At the tune of $1200.00 plus cost. More people than me have experienced this problem and i can not drive the car without gas. I had another mechanic check it out and said inside of the plastic tank that has a liner in it is coming apart inside which you can not repair caused from the ethonal content in gas has caused this issue. The liner is causing the flap inside the opening of the gas tank that the fuel inlet is attached to not to open and allow fuel to go in the tank. The car is too old to have to put this kind of cash in it when it is apearant that it is a defect in the tank which from on line says it is made in china. Again a bad combination china really!!!. I have already put a few thousand in it for transmission dip stick rust off in the check tube ,oil leaks ,trans slipping ,rear end leaking break calipers,and the list goes on. I have dodge's since 2000 and dodge has me as a second class citizen. I had 2000 intrepid 2 dodge grand caravans and the durango. Help please.
Like every one of this type vehicle from chrysler every time you fuel up it shuts the pump off then spews a couple cups of gas back out onto who ever is there or onto the ground. I know you know about this and have done absolutely nothing about it. Why. You recalled a few in 2005 and in research on line you can see nothing good happened. It is time to fix it now.
Gas shoots out of filler neck after filling with fuel..... Updated 06117/16
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!!!!
At every fuel fill up regardless of the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off and fuel spills all over the ground and down the side of the truck.
2006 dodge durangoecm fail2006 dodge durango fuel overspills
The contact owns a 2005 dodge durango.the contact state that after refueling, the fuel would spew back out without warning.the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The mechanic stated that the tank filler had malfunctioned and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in recall nhtsa campaign number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline).the approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Upon first purchasing at a dealership the purchase was as a used vehicle, so no warranty is or was in place. A few months later when filling the tank at a gas station the first incident of propulsion of gasoline forcing out of the tank, first happened. Then a couple of times when trying to start the vehicle the motor would not start. Using an obd to check codes there was no error codes but still ended up clearing it anyways which allowed the vehicle to start (which means its the computer). Now, the front passenger window is down and will not go back up, checked the motor and the motor for the window is fine, but checking the switch it would only unlock door, not allow lock and absolutely no window control at all from either the passenger door switch or driver side switch. When looking at the switches turns out that the circuit boards are not soldered. The only way to get any of the problems fixed for anyone now would be for a recall, because the year being 2014 no warranty will cover any problems that i or anyone else is facing!
I bought my durango "used" from the dealership and the first time i filled the tank up, gas went everywhere.i thought it was the gas station but the time after that, when i filled up- i did it slowly and it still overfilled and spilled everywhere.now, i can't fill my tank full as i am afraid of a fire and also don't like wasting money on expensive gas that isn't going into my tank so i only fill it about half full every time.this is a headache no matter how you put it.however, i have read and seen many reviews of many other 2006 durangos with the same issue.wondering if there's a recall?
The vehicle, on cold start up exhibited a surging idle, from 500 rpm ranging up to 2000 rpm. The idle finally leveled out and settled down. While driving the vehicle, i noted some surging present while at a steady speed. Once, while sitting at a traffic light while in drive, the vehicle idle jumped up and caused the vehicle to lunge into the intersection. Luckily no cross traffic was present and applying the brakes very hard stopped the vehicle from completely running through the intersection. There was no check engine lightpresent, nor has the check engine light ever illuminated on this vehicle, (other than the bulb check on start up), for any reason. As an ase master automobile technician and a former chrysler factory trained technician, i connected a scan tool to this vehicle to see what was going on. As stated, there was no cel, so there were no codes active, pending or historical. Observation of the live data stream revealed nothing out of the ordinary. With access to identifix, i researched and found several other instances of the same concern with 2006 durangos, with recommendations of replacing the throttle body assembly due to intermittent "glitches" in the throttle position sensor sending false readings to the pcm causing the idle control motor to increase the idle speed. I currently have this part on order from my local dealership. Once received and installed i will determine if further action will be required.
Everytime i fill up or come close to filling up the gas will come shooting out of the tank. It gets all over me, the vehicle and the ground. It can shoot as far as 4 or 5 feet away from the vehicle. I have stopped putting more than 1/2 a tank at a time in it but it is a huge inconvenience to have to stop for gas so much.
When filling gas tank to capacity, the gas pump shuts off and gas spews from the vehicle out onto the vehicle and ground.i would estimate maybe 1/2 to 1 gallon of gas is involved.the vehicle was taken to the dealership, sherwood, of salisbury, md in 2011 to have problem addressed.was told that there was no problem to be fixed.received letter dated 2/1/2013 from chrysler group llc stating that the warranty on the fuel tank inlet check valve has been extended to lifetime coverage for my vehicle. It goes on to state that "if you are experiencing this condition now or in the future, to simply contact your dealer to have the repairs performed.took car to sherwood dealership and was given therun around. Was told in june 2013 that there was a shortage of parts available to fix my vehicle and they would call in a few months to schedule the repair. Called the chrysler customer care assistance center and reported the incident on 6/4/2013. Decided to file a grievance here with the nhtsa as this is an epa issue and safety issue due to the gasoline spillage. As a result of the gasoline spillage, the paint under the fuel filling area of the vehicle has bubbled and has now rusted in that area.have requested that this problem also be taken care of as it is a direct result of a malfunction of the vehicle.have been told that they would make the repair(whenever the parts are available) but, will not take care of the rust issue.would like to have feedback as to how to get this taken care of. It is absolutely ridiculous that chrysler acknowledges there is a problem, has sent a letter for instruction on how to address the problem, but has not actually fixed the problem 5 months from the date of the letter!!!!
Every time fill up gas tank it spills over. Not on recall list.
After buying the vehicle in 2009, it began shutting off when i decelerated for stops or turns. No engine light warning. In 2009, took it to the dealership 4 times. No help. Issues have continued. Took to dealership in 2010 3-4 times for same issue. Seems to shut off more in winter than summer but is very random. In 2011, more exploratory work was completed at dealership. Is there a lemon law? in 2012, i had someone else tinker on it. Still no assistance. The issues are less annoying now and becoming dangerous as it now shuts off at any time, at any speed, in any weather. I've tried new brakes, couple of new batteries, new computer chip, complete visual overall with computer assistance at dealership. Once when check engine light came on, o'reily's computer said that the sensor box had moisture in it. Dealership found no such evidence. All maintenance like oil changes are up-to-date. In 2013 in addition to the shutting off, there is a bumping when the brakes are applied and no one can contribute that issue to anything either!no help. Scared to drive but no $$ get a new one. I feel abandoned with a lemon.
The last two times that i have filled up my durango several ounces of gas will come spewing out of the tank just before it shuts off. I'm afraid this could cause quite the fire if a spark ignites it.
The fuel tank overflows at the gas station if filled completely. There is nothing to stop this from happening. I have tried adjusting the way i hold the gasoline nozzle, but nothing seems to make any difference. This is a fire hazard! it is hard to keep if from happening. When it happens, gasoline flies out everywhere, getting all over the vehicle and myself. It is scary. This needs a recall! in addition, the body underneath of the fuel tank has rusted as this has happened numerous times.
4-8 ounces of gasoline spills every time i fill the tank, whether in automatic mode or trying to minimize flow rate from the pump manually.
I bought my dodge durango used in 2010 and everytime i fill my gas tank up and the gas pump shuts off from a full tank, the gas comes gushing out of the fuel neck. There has been recalls on previous years but none on 2006. Doesn't make any sense. There are multiple people filing complaints but no recalls? this causes damage to paint, clothes, people standing in the way without the knowledge it happens. Does it take an actual injury or fire before something is done? its ridiculous and something needs to be done!!! i don't have the money to fix it and it is clearly a defect from the factory. Hopefully something is done so dodge owners can continue to love the cars they bought.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, fuel would spill back out from the filler neck. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where the contact was advised that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The current mileage was approximately 103,000.
I am constantly having to watch as i fill my tank on this car, because their is no way of knowing when the gas will spill out onto my car. The constant overflow has effected the paint near the gas tank as well as run under the body of this car. This is an issue which no one wants to address but i hope soon it will be resolved. It is a hazard to the owner and those who are near us when we attempt to fill our car.
Fuel splashes back from the fuel filler tube every time i fill the tank, if left to auto shut-off, resulting in splash-back on the person filling the tank, and fuel spilling on the ground.
Hil adding gas, the fuel overflow does not shut off when full.gas spills out of the tube and runs down the side of the durango and onto the ground.there is considerable rusting under the fill tube. I purchased thsi vehicle 4 years ago and it has always done this.the rust area had been repaired prior to me purchasing so i am assuming this has happened before my ownership as well.
When filling up on gasoline it will over flow out of the vehicle through the filler tube. Similar to the other recall possibly the same issue that affected 2005 models
When fueling the vehicle the pump shuts off then fuel spews out. This happens every time it is fueled. The vehicle is stationary. This is a fire hazzard as well as a pollution problem. It's my understanding the 2005 model was recalled for this problem. I recently purchased this vehicle used with 195000 miles. I also see where several other people are having this same issue on your website.
I have owned this vehicle one week, filled the fuel tank twice and had the same issue on both fill ups.when the fuel tank is full and backs up to the nozzle to shut it off, the fuel does not shut off and sprays at least 2 pints of fuel on the vehicle and the nozzle and myself.this has happened at two different fuel stations.
When ever you try and fill the gas tank, when it get full it blows all over the place.you try and clean if off but it still has ruined the paint and a couple pair of gloves, that smell never comes out of clothes.this all started at or around 40,000 miles and have been dealing with it for 110,000 miles now.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel spewed from the filler neck. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the fuel tank assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
Leaking massive fuel on fill ups each time. Done this forever. Rusting in area where happens badly.
When fueling the gas tank will burp out gas when it is full and spray all over you.
When the gas tank is full, the dodge durango spits gasoline out and spills it all over the vehicle, the ground, and anyone who happens to be near the pump.this has happened from day one of ownership of the vehicle and happens each and every time the vehicle is fueled.drenching a motor vehicle operator in gasoline every time they fill the gas tank is caustic to the individual and dangerous to those breathing the fumes inside the vehicle.
I was pumping gas. It got to about 1.7 gallons and then the gas nozzle clicked and then gas shot out of my gas tank with my child standing beside the gas tank. If he was any closer it could've got in his eyes!
Gasoline overflows from filler neck when filling fuel tank. A considerable amount of gasoline overflows after gasoline pump shuts off.
There was indeed a recall for the 2005 and 2006 model years of my vehicle from chrysler for a fuel safety issue of massive amounts of fuel spilling out of the tank during fuel ups. They acknowledge, the recall was cut off exactly one day prior to this particular vehicle's manufacturing date. The part identified was a fault with the fuel inlet check valve. Dodge identified the only recourse forthis vehicle is to petition the nhtsa and hope they recall it to replace it by dodge, or pay for a repair myself out of pocket for a known and acknowledged defect. This is a major safety hazard with the vehicle and i am noticing the same issue on all dodge durangos i observe on the road now, with rusty quarter panels due to fuel spill and saturation issues in the same spot.
Upon filling fuel tank gas will emit from the filling area. Happens at all gas stations no matter the filling speed. I understand there is a recall for the 2005 model but why not the 2006?
This vin has a recurring gasoline fuel spit-back problem.first occurrence happened at approximately 45,000 miles + 5 years ownership and continues. Vehicle cannot be fueled to 'full' without approximately 12 ounces of fuel spit-back and overflow onto vehicle body and ground. Extremely hazardous. Not coverage by recall or warranty.
This vehicle had a fuel overflow problem.chrysler has a lifetime warranty on fixing this. The problem is that the gas that was continuously overflowing on fill-up has caused the vehicle to rust under the gas tank.chrysler is saying this is not covered.also on the lift gate under the silver piece above the handle there is rust forming from dripping on each side of this silver piece.i believe this is a manufacture defect, but chrysler is saying none of this is covered.
Interior lights never go off and has a recall. The dealership tells me it takes seven days to get the part and have it programmed. This is unacceptable since this is my only transportation. This vehicle also has three other recalls that the dealership didn't tell me about. I think they are making this difficult so that customers will not get their recalls done.there is also a recall on a suspension part that could cause an crash- wipers and lights- and filling the gas tank is a royal pain in the ........ The fuel spits back out at you before your tank is full. These are all safety hazards that dodge needs to address with no cost or inconvenience for the owner. If these recalls are not repaired there is a reasonable chance that life threatening events could occur. Not sure why the dodge company allows these dealerships to do this to their customer. I suggest that every person who has had problems complain to the company as well as this site ------- may be someone will do something.
Bought a used. 2006 dodge durango. First time wife filled tank fuel erupted from fill spout covering her head to foot in gas. Next week i tried filling tank. Again fuel spewed from the filler neck. The pump shuts off automatically then boom. 1/2 to 1 gallons of gasoline is on the ground, side of vehicle and myself. We can only put partial tanks of gas in at a time.as with all refueling trips the vehicle was parked, engine off,sitting beside the pump. The 2005 durangos were recalled. Why not this year also.dealer claims warranty work was completed and will only look at vehicle if they charge a fee. This is a vehicle " checked out " by dealer before sale. Apparently they don't care about our safety or the hazard to the environment when close to a gallon in fuel gets dumped on the ground every time it's filled.
When filling up the vehicle with fuel the pumps do not shut off when it is full and the gasoline spills outside of the vehicle, sometimes violently.this happens almost every time i fill the vehicle and is extremely dangerous!luckily the first time i was inside of the gas station when it happened and it shot out everywhere and soaked a 3-4 foot radius from the gas tank.this last time i filled up it sprayed a fine mist everywhere and it spilled all down the side of the vehicle.
Everytime we fill the gas tank for the past year it shoots more than a foot out of the vehicle.
When fueling the vehicle the gas pump clicks off then fuel spews out the filler neck of the vehicle this has caused the paint to come off and a hole to rust in the side of the vehicle just under the fuel cap.
Every time i fill up, once the gas pump clicks off, gas spews from the fuel fill area.
I am experiencing a problem with the engine cutting off in full drive situations, all of sudden my check engine light pops up and that's my pre warning that my truck is getting ready to turn off. It is hesitant sometimes and waits till i am complete stop or sometimes it totally shuts down while driving in traffic. Very scary.
Literally every singe time i fill the vehicle up, gasoline erupts from the tank, sprays everywhere, probably sprays a full yard away from the vehicle. The fuel spray has rusted out the fender below the fuel door.
Tipm / pcm (computer modules) these items are affecting most dodge vehicles that is listed already for recalls only in 2011-2013 and one earlier. This is happening in a lot of dodges, mine is 1d4hb48n76f[xxx] (2006 durango 4.7 slt). They will stop running anywhere, it shuts the fuel pump off where the vehicles no longer gets gas and you have a full tank. It is only a computerized dealer fix. Their recall for some vehicles will fix my 2006 also by the simply relay bypass that they are installing.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Every time i get gas the pump clicks off as full, then a bunch of gas comes gushing out and gets all over the car/ground/me.it has been happening for several years and it is not only a fire hazard, but also an environmental hazard.
Over the last 12 and 1/2 months, it has been an issue with filling the gas tank.each time that i fill up my tank, the gas will either spill back out from under the car, spout out like it is spraying in the air or it will just come back out and roll down the sides of the truck.this has become a continuing issue and when i called the dodge place within my area, they claimed to not know of this being a problem or a recall.but as i started my research, i located many people in my same predicament.
Since july of 2011 and every gas station stop since then my wife and i avoid filling up our tank, as this vehicle does not stop flow of gas at any pump when it reaches full. Instead it gurgles up and spray fuel back at the person filling tank (me usually), down side of vehicle and of course all over the ground. After reviewing other reports, it is apparent there are major and consistent issues of this type for the 2006 durango and recalls for same issue, only for 2005 model. Since then everytime we fill up, it is a guessing game how close, and i run back and forth from pump handle to interior gas gauge, back to pump handle and so on. I'm sure it's amusing to everyone else that doesn't own this chrysler product.
While fueling the car at the gas station i keep continuing to have back-flow of gas propelling out of the fill spout when filling up. It is happening every-time and i think this is not a safe thing to have gas coming flying back out and getting over the ground & myself. This is a real safety hazard. I have found there is a lot of issues with the 2005 models which have a recall and now the 2006-2008 models have a service bulletin if manufactured after feb 20006 & are having the same problem. My vehicle vin is not covered but has the same exact problem.
The fuel tank spits out about a quart of gas when refilling tank. This has happened every time i have refilled since i bought the vehicle in march 2006. I have resorted to filling only 3/4 full for the last few years since my dealer will not fix the problem. I have addressed the problem to the lyndsey chrysler dodge dealer in st roberts, mo several times but no recalls have been issued for the 2006 durango.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While the contact was pumping fuel into the vehicle, the fuel sensor on the tank did not work. As a result, fuel overflowed from the fuel tank opening. The contact stated that the failure began on approximately june 15, 2018. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 190,000.
When pumping gas, the fuel tank spills gas all over the car & ground.it doesn't stop when the pump kicks off.gas pours on ground, my shoes & clothes.this happens every time i get gas.
2006 dodge durango.whenever you put fuel in the car, the fuel overflows spilling and spraying out a substantial amount of fuel on the person and the ground.this does this every time when filling up the car.i am the original owner of the car and this creates safety concerns.dodge issued a recall on 2005 models recall id#78716 for the same issue, but hasn't addressed the issues with any of the 2006 and 2007's.
My car has a very bad hesitation upon acceleration and shutters when the pedal is to the floor. The code i'm getting is a dealer part only and i've found that 4 out of five dodge durangoor chrysler aspen have had this issue. This has been a very expensive trial and error process. My sister who owns a 2008 aspen just replaced the same part i need to replace for almost 1,000 dollars and that's not the only time i've heard of this common issue with the solenoids from this hemi engine. It's not allows all cylinders to work because this faulty part is malfunctioning. Please recall this part so i'm sure 75% of the owners can finally have a reliable vehicle and not get stranded like others i'm sure that have had this issue.
Each time i fill up my gas tank when the pump kicks off gas spills out of the tank onto the ground. Dodge says they are aware of the problem but because my vehicle is listed as "restricted" in their data base they cant tell me exactly what restricted means only that it may have been classified as a total loss at some point. I purchased the vehicle used but had no issues registering it or insuring it in nj. Dodge says there is a lifetime warranty on this problem but because it is not a recall they refuse to make the repair for me because of my vehicles "restricted" status so i guess if i am refueling and gas spills out and catches the place on fire dodge wont care i would like to file a complaint this should be a recall and not just a warranty issue there is a significant chance of someone getting severely burned or killed if this spill happens near an ignition source. Please advise me of my next course of action.
During refueling the pump handle will click off then a second later a rush of gasoline will spew out of the fill inlet. This happens every time the tank is filled to full.
Every time that i attempt to fill the gas tank, gasoline sprays out of the tank all over me. This was never a problem until the vehicle hit 60,000 miles. The problem started a few months ago and happens every time that i try to fill the tank up. The only solution is to limit the amount of gasoline that i put into the tank.there is approximately a quart or more of gas that sprays everywhere. I am going to contact the dealership tomorrow to see what type of remediation is available. This is a major safety and environmental hazard. We are supposed to be limiting gasoline emissions, so i am fairly certain that gasoline spraying all over the person pumping the gas as well as over the ground is a hazard. I have researched this online and see that more that just the 2005 is affected. I think that the dodge dealerships should have to check each durango from 2005 until when the problem was corrected. If any are affected, they should have to fix those that are a problem.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While refueling the vehicle at a fuel station, the pump shut off and the fuel rapidly spewed out all over the ground. The contact stated that the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.
When fuelling at a gas station, gas overflows when the tank is full (when the gas pump clicks off).this happens every time i try to fill the tank.gas overflows onto side of vehicle and onto pavement at gas station.fuel spill hazard is extremely dangerous.gas stations are starting to warn me that i cannot cause a fuel spill.dodge claims they have not heard of this problem.recall urgently needed before major catastrophe.
I went to fuel up my car, when it reached full, fuel started spitting out of the tank.it has done this on numerous occasions.
The gas tank overfills when filling the tank.when i fill the tank at the gas station the pump will not shut off until after the tank overflows onto the vehicle and the ground.
Each time i fuel, once the tank is full, it spews/gurgles a large amount of fuel back out of the filler neck.it happens at every kind of pump, and it happens whether i use the auto shut off or if i control the flow and slow it to a trickle.it still happens once the tank gets close to full.each time i fuel, i spill at least 1-3 quarts of fuel onto the ground.this is very harmful to the enviornment, a waste of my money, and a safety issue.i have owned many new and old vehicles, and never in my life, have i experienced a problem fueling my car.this is a known problem from dodge, because they recalled the 2005 durango for this very problem.so why fix the 2005's and not the 2006????
Whenever i put gas in the tank, it comes back out when it reaches full. It sprays and splashes out onto the vehicle and ground. I avoid this now by filling the tank very slowly for the last couple of gallons and trying to listen for any gas that may be coming back out at me. It still comes out sometimes. Either way, this isn't right.
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.
1996 dodge durango. I have 2006 dodge durango limited 5.7 literhemi- i bought used car salesman it in december 2012. In february of 214 we started having a problem with the engine cutting off while drivingafter reading several different internet forums i discovered the engine failure with my dodge durango was a common problem. Like others i have taken it in to our mechanic's because the check engine light had come on. We always got oil changes and regular maintenance done at our mechanic's because we thought they would know the car best and be able to inform us of any important recalls or possible problems. I asked him about the problem, he in turned told me that he knew about the dodge durango engine failure problem.he also saiddodge knows about it, but there has been no recall for this problem.i am afraid that someone is going to get killed on the road because the engine turns off at any time. It is a same that dodge is pulling the same thing as general motors has done.pleaase lets fix this before someone does get killed.so i am here with my 2006 dodge durango parked in my drive just waiting forrecall.it is getting closer because yesterday they just recalled the 2005,2006,2007 jeep because chrysler said on tuesday that it was recalling an undisclosed number of older jeep s.u.v.s to correct an ignition-related stalling problem similar to the deadly flaw that has consumed general motors this year. How also owns dodge so i know they know about the dodges problems.at this point my senator richard blumenthal office can not do a thing, because i have not been hurt or killed as of yet.it feels like.
When refueling the vehicle, fuel will spew from the filler inlet when the gas pump stops filling. I understand this was a recall on the 2005 model. Dodge will not address this, stating that my vehicle is out of warranty.
When i fuel my vehicle the fuel spills back onto me.if i stand away it goes onto the ground.when i contacted dodge they stated the current recall does not include my vehicle.this will at some point cause a fire and seriously injure or kill the person filling the vehicle.dodge has had an issue with this on model years 2005-2008 (which includes my vehicle year) from what i have found, but fails to correct the problem with my vin.
Every time the car is refueled gas spills from the tank. It shoots to the rear of the vehicle and gets on my hands, legs, shoes, side of car and ground. I have contacted dodge and they will not do anything about the issue. This effects the environment, myself, my family and anyone else who has to come in contact with the gas that is left all over my car, myself and the ground.
This durango had spewed gas during fill up ever since purchased 11/2006, so i just tried to be careful when filling.april 2012, i had some rust fixed around the rear wheel area on the gas tank side.did not really think too much about it at the time.1/29/14 i had an inlet check valve replaced at the dealership due to notification from chrysler and they said this could be a safety issue.thought then that this defect is probably what caused my rust issue but i had had that fixed so did not think anything about it....until it started to rust again in the same area.this is a without a doubt caused by the faulty inlet check valve.i believe chrysler intentionally did not notify their clients until the 100,000 mile rust warranty was up.they will not stand behind the resulting damage from the faulty inlet check valve.
While filling up with gas, gas started spewing out of the tank. I was covered head to toe in gas and it was flowing down the pavement at the gas station.what if someone had discarded a lit cigarette? i have since discovered that this is an issue with a lot of the dodge durango's. It should be recalled!it has happened 4 times since then.
Gasoline overflows from filler neck when filling fuel tank. A considerable amount of gasoline overflows after gasoline pump shuts off.
Fuel spews out of the fuel filler tube after the automatic fuel shutoff stops fuel flow into the tank. There is a one or two second lag before the fuel spews out after shutoff. Fuel spills onto the car, the ground and the person filling the tank if they happen to be removing the pump nozzle at that moment. The problem has persisted with each successive fillup since the initial incident.
While fueling our 2006 dodge durango limited when the vehicle tank became full the fuel nozzle on the pumped kicked off, but then fuel began spewing out of the vehicle fueling spout due to an apparent failure of the tank valve flap that is supposed to prevent this occurrence. Approximately 1/4 to 1/2 of a gallon of gas spews out each time this happens, mostly on the car, but also on mine or my wife's hands and shoes.this is probably the 90-100th time this has happened to our vehicle since we purchased it brand new in late 2006, and there are many other 2006 durango owners on this site and the dodge durango clubs web sites that complain of the same failure.this is unacceptable.the 2005 durango was recalled for the same failure, but the 2006 has not been addressed.it should not take a fire or someone getting hurt or killed to get this corrected.we paid a lot of money for this vehicle new for this occurrence to happen every time we fill the tank up.the dealership ignores the issue, and chrysler wants me to pay to have it investigated, and may refund me if it is found to be a faulty part.i cannot afford the $600 the dealership wants to do this work (draining and removing the tank).someone needs to take a hard look at this issue and help us out with it before someone gets hurt or a fire is caused by it.
The fuel filler valve is failing and allows the fuel to spill out of the gas tank even when the pump shuts off. This is a major safety hazard and should be recalled. It was recalled for 2005 why not 2006?
Every time i go to fill my 2006 dodge durango slt it will fill and the gas pump will stop and turn off but then the truck will spit fuel back out. The vehicle was in park and a gas station everytime. Please email me @ [xxx] or call @ [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I purchased this 2006 durango used in 2012.from day 1, it has spewed fuel out when filling up. I have been soaked on a few occasions, and have had fuel sprayed in my eyes. I have seen prior years being recalled for the same reason, but not this model year. Please do something about this.
Was pumping fuel and the nozzle clicked off and immediately after fuel came splashing out of the tank.
Every time i go to fill the tank while the car is in park at a gas station the pump will stop cause the truck is full and then the truck will spit fuel back out.
When i fill up my gas tank, the gas does not stop flowing when the tank is full.the indicator does not work, therefore gas spills out onto the ground every time i fill up the tank.
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.
Everytime myself or my wife fills up the gas tank, it will not shut off without spewing gas all over the place.we have monitored the recalls for this problem and have seen numerous testimonies to include video of the same issue.the statement released that it's because of operator negligence is completely false.it's to the point that we have to hold the handle at a slow fill speed in order to not lose fuel all over the ground.i have lost gallons worth of fuel not to negate the issue of safety for myself and family everytime the fuel dumps.
When filling the gas tank the fuel splashes and pours out all over me and the vehicle.the paint on the vehicle that is exposed to the fuel has begun to bubble and rust.if the inconvenience and hazard of the spill isn't enough the loss of fuel at today's high prices is an injustice that needs to be addressed.please help us! we paid a lot for our vehicle and now it looks like crap! dodge should care more about it customers!
When filling the fuel tank gas spews out the fill port once the tank is full
After filling fuel tank a lot of fuel sprays out of top of filler neck and spills down the side of the vehicle. Sometimes it sprays out a few feet away and can get all over you. It happens every time the tank is filled up.there is a recall for this exact problem with the 2005 model but not one for the 2006 model.
When i took my vehicle in for a recall i was informed that the right manifold studs were broken and the repair was going to cost $765.00. I took the vehicle into my regular mechanic to determine if i was being informed correctly. He advised that the chrysler dealer ship did not remove the heat shield to verify that this was actually the issue. The mechanic mentioned he could determine this by looking at the fasteners of the heat shield. The mechanic said that this happens a lot to chrysler products. He said that is why they did not need to remove the heat shield. When the studs are broken it allow the exhaust system to leak.my question is if this is a regular problem with chrysler why is there not a recall. I called chrysler to see what they would do about paying for a repair for a constant issue. They said there has not been many problems of this nature. Can this be investigated by having chrysler mail out s survey to actually determine if this is a material defect in their studs?
When refueling fuel shoots out of gas tank.mechanism doesn't shut off when full.i consider this very dangerous.it originally occurred about 2 months after the mfgr warranty expired and no recall was made with this year model.very frustrating as well.occurs while sitting still next to gas pump, engine off.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. When attempting to refuel the vehicle, fuel spewed out. The failure recurred each time the contact attempted to refuel the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
During fuel up it over spills out a lot of fuel each time at the gas station. I see there were recalls for the prior years of the same vehicle. This problem has identical symptoms.
Fuel spit back. As many others have stated this should be a safety issue not to mention an environmental one. How can this be a user problem when it is clearly a malfunction of parts probably the same as the 2005 recall. I am sending an email to chrysler and the epa see who comes back first.
Every time this vehicle is filled to full it spews gas out of the tank at the pump operator resulting in gas on the person fueling vehicle. We have tried several service stations this is not a pump issue the issue is with the vehicle. We have spoken to several station attendants this is a known issue to them. I believe this needs to be addressed before someone is seriously burned by a spark.
The first time i filled up a newly purchased used dodge durango gas exploded out of the filler neck splashing onto my hand and into my face.i had to dash into the restroom and flush gas out of my eyes.
I was filling my car and once it was filled the gas forcefully came back out of the tank and covered my coat pants and shoes.i am so angry, this has happened on other time that i completely filled my tank.the gas should not be coming back out of the tank.# 1 - i am now covered in gas, this is a huge safety issue, # gas is all over the side of my vehicle, huge safety issue, #3 gas is all over the ground at the service station, huge safety issue.this problem has been recalled in the 2005 dodge durango and i feel that my car is experiencing the same issues.i think that if dodge does not want a law suit they would fix the problem.
The gasoline spews out at you before the gas tank is full. So if you are unaware, not paying attention, or just completely forget you end up in a bath of gasoline. So now possibly your shoes clothes and hands have gas on them. Hopefully you don't plan on lighting a cigarette afterward. (i don't smoke) but i do care not to wear gasoline or have to breathe the fumes in my really nice mopar. Super problematic for the owners afflicted with this problem i hope chrysler does the right thing and recalls the affected vehicles.
Filling gas tank. When the pump kicks off at full i get gas kicking back out of tank. Actually its alot of gas all over side of vehicle and ground. If im holding gas nozzle i get gas on my arm. I just bought this vehicle and don't know if previous owner made complaints. This happens each time i fill tank.
Fuel spit back while refueling from fuel filler tube has happened at several different locations and times.
I just bought a 2006 dodge durango on 11/2/2012 and went to the gas station to fill it up and it over flowed about a 1/4 of a tank of gas on the ground and down the side of the truck. I first thought maybe i didn't haveit all the way in the gas tank. But then i gassed up again on the 10th of november 2012 and it did it again. I am really upset about this issue. Dodge should have a recall on this. If something happens to any of my family we will be suing dodge!!!!! i am surprised no one has been hurt yet. This is dangerous!!!i love my truck but hate that there isn't anything being done about this issue!!!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that the fuel tank was defective and fuel spilled onto the ground when the fuel tank was filled to capacity. The failure was experienced 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 failure mileage was 1,000.
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 the consumer stated the local dodge dealer advised this was a known issue. The vehilce was repaired. Updated 02/20/2013
Gas spewed all over me and my vehicle (while pumping gas) after the tank reached full.it has done it every time i've filled it up since purchasing the vehicle.
My 2006 dodge durango shoots gas out of the gas tank when filling up with gas. It has been doing this since 2009 and i just found out yesterday when getting a recall (wipers) fixed that a recall for 2005 had the issue. There is no recall for 2006 dodge durango models.
Own durango built jan 2006, gas is put in it, click off nozzle, gas comes back out forcefully over the vehicle, ground and myself. It is terrifying and dangerous. There is a recall for this on the 2005. Someone is going to get seriously hurt. I barely drive it because i am so terrified to put gas in it. I tried to email dodge and the email does not go through. I called on the recall and they told me it is for the 2005 and i can have the dealer fix it and maybe they will help. I took it to an independent repair shop and the part alone is $550 and i do not have that kind of money and i don't have 40,000 miles on the vehicle. Here is the recall:january 2009 --chrysler is recalling 19,024 my 2005 dodge durango vehicles. 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. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank inlet check valve. Vehicles found to have a suspect inlet check valve will have the fuel tank assembly replaced free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during april 2009. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403. This recall was the subject of a recall query, rq08-005, conducted by the office of defects investigation. 09v-003many other owners with the same complaint of 2006:http://www.automotix.net/autorepair/car_problems/dodge-durango/2006/fuel_system_gasolinestoragetank_assemblyfiller_pipe_and_cap/ ____http://www.automotix.net/autorepair/car_problems/dodge-durango/2006/fuel_system_gasoline/____http://www.automotix.net/autorepair/car_problems/dodge-durango/2006/fuel_system_gasolinestoragetank_assembly/____http://www.automotix.net/autorepair/car_problems/dodge-durango/2006/fuel_system_other/
Fill the gas tank and when stopped filling a large amount of gas backflows out of tank onto the ground and person pumping gas! this is a major hazard both for the person and the environment. Took to dodge dealer and they said this has happened a lot and only way to fix is to replace gas tank which is very expensive. Called dodge and they refuse to cooperate saying they never heard of this problem before must be the way i pump gas! this has happened everytime i fill gas. Very annoying and hazardous!!
Every time we fuel up the durango, no matter how slow, or even if we allow it to "breathe"... When it gets close to full it shoots out fuel..seriously shoots it out, like 2 feet. We cant fuel it past 1/2 without this happening. Also fuel leaks from somewhere in the fuel fill tube to the tank when ever we fuel at all. I see other durangos have similar complaints for this model year.
When filling up the gas tank on this vehicle the gasoline spilled over and out of the gas tank. It has done that almost everytime i try to fill this durango up at the gas station.
Every time at fill up when fueling the vehicle, when the gas pump clicks off fuel shoots/spills out of gas tank opening.doing research on line i've discovered many other dodge durango's with the exact same problem. There has been a tsb # 14-001-12 and nhtsa ref. # 10043594 about the problem and durangos with certain vin#s have been fixed with this tsb. I thought all 2006 durangos would be fixed with this tech. Service bulletin.when i inquired at the dealer on 6/9/12 about having the problem fixed i was told my vin # was not covered in the tsb.i contacted chrysler about the problem and had a rep. Call me and ask what the problem was and that she never heard of the problem.i referred to the tsb notice and she still acted like she didn't know anything about it.all 2006 durangos should be covered by the lifetime warranty on parts and repairs listed in tsb 14-001-12.this is a very serioussafety issue that could very well result in fire and death.
Fuel overflows when filling up
I have a 2006 dodge durango, when filling the fuel tank gas spews out of the filler neck when approaching full. I have researched this problem and have found that there was a recall on numerous chryslermakes and models,indicating the problem is with a faulty inlet check valve in the fuel tank. Only certain specific vin numbers are covered under the recall despite the fact that thousands of documented complaints have been recorded. Chrysler hasdenied that this is an ongoing manufacture defect, i assume to keep from having to spend potentially millions of dollars to correct the problem. This not only a fire hazard, but an environmental hazard a well. Please take the appropriate steps to require the chrysler corporation to include any vehicles with this defect in an updated recall. Thank you
When gas tank gets full,gas spills out of the tank all ovdr car and person standing there. You have to fill tank very slowly. Car is rusting below gas cap from all the gas that has spilled there.
Every gas fill my 2006 dodge durango spits back a lot of gas. I have tried different gas stations and the problem is constant whereever i go. Help!
Fuel system, gasoline storage tank assembly filler pipe overflows. Auto-shutoff does not function and gas spills out of filler pipe onto ground.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that fuel would overflow from the fuel tank when refueling. The contact received notification of a manufacturer's recall regarding the fuel system. The contact called the dealer to make an appointment to have the recall remedy performed and was advised that the part needed to complete the recall repair was not readily available. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 75,000.
At the end of refueling, gas spews from the filler neck and shoots out onto everything in the immediate area.gas spills onto the side of the vehicle and onto the ground.
When refueling vehicle check valve in fuel filler neck is defective causing gasoline to be ejected at high volocity when the gas pump handle shuts off. Owner had cuticles on left foot burned from skin contact with liquid gasoline. Many videos posted on youtube demonstrating this dangerous defect chrysler refuses to repair even though they have acknowledged the defect by recalling select vin's knowing the same part was installed without modification in many more vehicles not included in the recalls. This is just 1 clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=kbwgvmyy3vm&nr=1
Spit back when fueling.
Leaking large amounts of fuel overflow when at gas station filling up gas tank.
The fuel tank check valve has completely failed just like thousands of other durangos. There is significant (12-16 ounces) gas blowback when the fuel reaches a near full level during refueling. I have tried stopping the pump several times to allow the fuel to settle, different brands of gas and different filler handle positions. The only thing that can prevent this is not filling the tank more than 3/4 full.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While operating the vehicle, the power train erroneously switched to the 4 wheel drive low position and the traction control and 4 wheel drive sensor lights illuminated. While stuck in the 4 wheel drive position, the vehicle became very difficult to steer and failed to accelerate normally. When refueling the vehicle, fuel would spew out of the filler neck. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.
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.
Fuel gushing out when filling up tank.
Vehicle spits out gas while refueling.
I am having fuel fillig problems with the gas overflowing when i fill it its been about 43 years i did not know who to tell until now but online research point s a possible answer which is "the fuel overflow problem is caused by the fuel tank filler check valve" it also consume a lot of gas just going down the street.
When i fill the gas tank, the pump does not automatically shut off and gasoline spews all over the place. I just purchased this car less than a week ago and have had it happen every time i fill it up.
I purchased this vehicle for my mother. I filled the tank with gas on several occasions- when the tank is full gas flies out of the tank. My mother has known of this problem, however, i have not. I was trying to be nice & fill the tank for her. I heard the click on the nozzle as i stood leaning against the vehicle & when i pulled the nozzle out gas flew all over my arm & atleast a foot in the air. Outrageous! she said it's happened to her so she just puts in $50.
This is definitely a public safety hazard.i bought my used dodge durango last october 2014. Every time i fill my gas tank up,the gas pump shuts off from a full tank of gas on my vehicle,then the gas comes gushing back out of the fuel neck of the durango's gas tank. There has been recalls on previous years but none on 2006.there are multiple people filing complaints but no recalls? this causes damage to the automobile paint, clothes, people and the environment. However, most concerning is the safety hazard of a potential fire or explosion from the overflowed gas and fumes happening around multiple cars, people and gas pumps at gas stations when 2006 dodge durango owners fill up their vehicles. This is not a problem caused by any owner. This is a mechanical defect in the dodge durango filler tube valve in the gas tanks. Please help to get this problem corrected by the dodge company.
Every time i fill my tank, the nozzle doesn't shut off, and gas goes all over me and the ground. Not to mention on the paint of the car,can't be good for the paint. Also it is not good for the environment at a gallon a week on the ground.the 2005 model was recalled for this very same reason, seems reasonable to recall the 2006.this is a very dangerous issue where a spark could end up causing an explosion.
Upon filling the vehicle with fuel it will spit back a considerable amount of fuel after pumping has stopped full. Its amazing that a recall was issued for the 2005 durango for this problem and not the 2006. A quick google search shows the scale of the continued fueling problem on durangos. This problem has been occurring over the past 2 years at multiple gas stations.
This incident has occured twice on me since purchase of a used 2006 durango. On 11/20/16 i stop at gas station to fill the durango up with gas. I place the nozzel into gas tank select my grade of gas & put nozzle into auto fill. Upon tank becoming full of gas the gas nozzel shut off & afterwards gas began to spewed out of tank, sometime with high pressure & sometimes in low pressure spray. Gas continued to flow out of tank for about 6 seconds onto the ground. Vehical was stationary at the fuel pump.
Every time i refuel, gas comes squirting out of my tank. There is now lumps and bumps on the body of my car now under the gas tank.i have to keep checking my gas gauge while re fueling so this does not happen.
After gas pump shut off automatically, a large amount of gas came out of the filler port soaking me.this is the first time this happened.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that when attempting to refuel the vehicle, the fuel was spewing out. The contact mentioned that he had to listen to when he thought the tank was going to be full to stop fueling. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer however the contact could not recall the diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.
Fuel overflow problems. Gas spews out everywhere if tank is filled all the way up.
Each time i fill up my gas tank when the pump kicks off gas spills out of the tank onto the ground. The car was parked and off
When i try to fill up my fuel tank, when the pump stops, gas is expelled out of my tank and spills all over the car and ground.the fuel is expelled with some force.
When refueling the vehicle and filling the tank to full or near full, when the fuel nozzle shuts off automatically, fuel will spray out of the filler neck all over the side of the vehicle and all over the ground and the driver.approximately 1/3 to 1/2 gallon of fuel will be expelled from the tank.this started after i had about 75000 miles on the vehicle.it will happen every time i fill the car up.as a result i can only fill the tank about 3/4 full.the fuel has destroyed the paint on the side of the car.i have had to drive 20 miles home soaked in gasoline after this has happened.i'm glad no one flipped a cigarette in my direction!
Every time i fill up my gas tank since purchasing this vehicle last year my fuel tank sprays out gas after the gas pump shuts off.even if i don't use the gas pump auto shutoff while filling as soon as the tank is full it sprays gas out and also pours down the side of my vehicle onto the ground.i always need to take windshield washer fluid and wash off my vehicle and pour it onto the ground so there is not a puddle of gas sitting on the ground.now i only fill my tank 1/2 full when fueling to avoid this issue.
When filling with fuel to full capacity, it spews fuel out on my clothes and shoes and down the side of the durango. It does not matter what fuel station i go to, it does the same thing.
The fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve is not fully closing at the end of refueling. Thisallows some fuel to escape from the vehicle filler neck.consequencesfuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. When refueling at a gas station
I recently purchased a 2006 durango with some rust bubbles below the gasoline fill up door.on research of this issue i found 372 complaints regarding the fuel/propulsion system - spitting out gasoline when being filled at a gas station out of 553 total complaints via nhtsa. I have only had my vehicle a week and have not yet filled the tank. Now very leery of filling the tank for fear of being covered with gasoline, polluting the environment, causing an explosion, injuring/killing nearby innocent bystanders, including myself. In the case of a potentially dangerous situation such as this, there is liability as with any safety hazard. Besides the numerous complaints, there are videos on popular sites demonstrating the gas spit back yet there are no investigations reported regarding this complaint and only 2 service bulletins regarding this complaint. It makes me sick to think that i or some other durango owner could accidentally cause a mass fatality at a gas station if some unsuspecting person uses their cell phone or lights up. What about the health of the person pumping the gas? last i heard gasoline showers are very toxic.why is there no investigation on this concern?
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While the vehicle was stationary, the fuel tank spilled fuel onto the ground. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 117,000.
Gas spits out forcefully when fueling, leaving gas all over the floor, along the side of the vehicle, and on my clothes/shoes.it happens every time unless i stop fueling before the tank fills up.makes it tough to go on long trips because i can never have a full tank of gas.this has continued for over a year.
06 dodge durangofuel tank not censoring and spilling out gasoline when a full tank is reached. The first time it done it, i was out seeing patients and the gasoline spilled out on my jeans. I had to stop at a walmart that was luckily nearby and purchase a pair of jeans, so i could continue working. Since then i have to watch my fuel gauge and when it rises above the 3/4 line i stop the pump and ease the gas in a little at a time. I look at the fuel gauge and it has a delay as to when it registers the gasoline that has been pumped. This is very aggravating, the estimate to get it replaced is anywhere from $850 to $1300. With as many complaints i see posted, there should be a recall issued. Also, the computer that controls the idle speed motor seems to be malfunctioning which causes my 06 dodge durango to stop running while in a low idle at stop signs and when slowing down to turn. This is estimated to cost $700 to $800 depending on which computer is bad. This is of most priority since i drive to other locations for my work.*ln
Electrical problems, during cold weather 40 degrees and lower the wiper blades & lights, interior & exterior activate on their own.
The interior and exterior lights will flash on and off when driving leaving us temporally blind in the dark, and also the wipers work erratically, they will either come by them selves for a few seconds and then turn off, or during rain storms they will work erratically.they will wipe fast for a few seconds, and then slow down to a 2 or 3 second delay between wipes under heavy rain when the switch is set to hi, then they will go fast again for a few seconds, and then slow again.it is a safety concern for my wife driving my two small children in the rain.also the radio audio turns its self down while driving when nobody touches the controls, and the steering wheel controls do not control the audio.i think it is all a connected issue with a defective clock spring which again i have seen many complaints about dodge clock springs being faulty on www.dodgeforum.com.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango.while driving various speeds, the contact hears a rattling noise coming from the doors as if the locks are not latching properly.she took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that it was a normal characteristic of the vehicle.the failure mileage was 38,000 and current mileage was 54,000.updated 09/15/08 the consumer stated the door rattles. Updated 09/18/08.
When going to release the emergency brake, the handle broke off from the cable, was not able to release the brake.
1st time turned truck off got out keys in hand shut door heard shiftingfrom undertruck,.truck was empty and no keys.. 2nd.on hwy going 65 came to exit.slowed down to 35 service 4 wheel drivelite came on then went to turn a right hand turn and truck shifted into four low. Happened again while towing my trailer..been doing this everyday now shifts into 4 lo easily now and stays foelonger4 periods of vtime.
The 4wd service light came on and the 4wd will switch on and off automatically without manually being changed.it has a very loud shifting sound that i notice when the vehicle is on and off.the 4wd will turn on as i'm driving down the road at high speeds, and taking turns it will come on and make a very loud popping noise.i happens constantly and is hard to drive during my home health job.when it gets into 4hi or 4lo i am stuck in some places because it will not turn properly.i can not get it to switch out of 4wd.i have taken it to dodge dealers and they say they have never heard of this problem.this has become a very frustrating problem.
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.
I first noticed a problem when leaving work by simply unlocking my 06 durango (all wheel drive/ 4 wheel drive)with the key fob the transfer case control motor starts shifting the truck in and out from awd to 4wd and i haven't even opened the door!! as the weeks pass it does this several more times but what is more unnerving is thatas i am driving at hwy speeds, 60 to 70 mph, or any speed really, my "4 wheel low" light on the dash will start to flicker as if it is trying to shift into 4 wheel low un-commanded. After searching several forums i find this to be a common chronic electrical problem with durangos and a huge safety risk. Please understand that max speed for a 4 wheel drive vehicle that is in 4 wheel low is about 10 to 15 mph, the gear ratio is extremely low and intended for maximum traction when off road. If this vehicle shifts into 4 wheel low at 70 mph all 4 wheels will come to a stop and the driver will most likely loose total control. At that speed this is a dangerous combination. I have read of this happening to durangos with serious damage and huge expense for the owner. This very scenario happened to a co-workers wife with his kids in their 06 durango, luckily she was only traveling at about 30 to 35 mph and no accident occurred.now my key fob wont even open the door, it acts as if its dead or broken. I have to use the key to unlock the truck manually which sets off the alarm every time i unlock the door. The same electrical problem i started with is tied to the 4 wheel drive electrically, another common chronic problem.my local dodge dealer denies having any knowledge of this problem or a fix and from what i have read dodge denies it as well. Is it going to take a family's death from one of these vehicles for dodge to own up to this and recognize they have a very wide spread problem over several years manufacturing!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While driving 20 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle; however, it failed to remain started. The vehicle was towed to stateline chrysler jeep dodge ram (located at 800 gold hill rd, fort mill, sc 29708, (877) 679-4176) where it was diagnosed that the ecm and pcm module needed to be reprogrammed. The contact was informed by the dealer that the part to repair the vehicle was out of stock. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
While driving down the highway, without any warning, my 2006 dodge durango stalled out.i still had radio and power steering, so i pulled over to the side of the road.i restarted my durango, the check engine light was on, but was able to continue without any further issues.the same type of issue happens sporadically, regardless of weather or speed.there are times, after sitting at a light or stop sign, when you press the gas to go the gears are slow to engage and actually start moving.sometimes the durango shifts roughly as you accelerate or decelerate.as time has gone on the problem has become more persistent.i finally took my durango in to our mechanic and he replaced the egr valve and the throttle position sensor.within 2 weeks of these parts being replaced, my durango again began stalling out.i did have the durango stall out twice, back to back, losing all power in the vehicle, including power steering.i managed to get home and called the mechanic.this time he replaced the throttle control module.the durango is still stalling out and sometimes very slow to engage gears when starting off from a stopped position.this problem was supposedly address in the 2004-2005 models and corrected.i am afraid to drive my durango as it is not reliable; this is an accident waiting to happen.clearly the problem has not been fixed.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
At random times, including while sitting in the driveway, the transfer case on my 2006 dodge durango awd will engage the 4wd. It can happen while sitting in the driveway when you insert the key and before you start the engine. It also makes the clicking sound as if it is engaging when you unlock the doors (possible electrical problem?) it can also happen when driving while turning a corner, such as the sharp corners in a drive-thru. The effect is such that one wheel locks up as if one front wheel has the emergency brake on. When going straight there is no issue.i have researched on the internet and found forums where others are having the same exact problem. The problem is that it is random and intermittent, and difficult to reproduce at the dealership. Often their response is to simply replace one or more of the three main components without verifying that is the issue. This can be quite expensive for the owner and frustrating after spending large sums of money and the issue remains unsolved. I feel it is a safety issue because an inexperienced driver might have this issue in a drive-thru, and to overcome the lack of movement after pressing the gas pedal, they may rev the engine. This might overcompensate and cause the vehicle to dart forward into another car, or even into the building as the wheels are turned to go around the corner. If the 4wd disengages at the revving of the engine, this could also cause the vehicle to suddenly accelerate into another vehicle, pedestrian, or building.
My 2006 dodge durango has an innumerable amount of issues like a cracked passenger side exhaust manifold from a bad bolt and electrical problems where the radio and overhead light only work when it feels like it - but the biggest problem is this transmission. This morning i put the car in reverse to leave the driveway and as i shifted to go into drive, the transmission completely locked up. It wouldn't go into drive, reverse or even neutral. The wheels locked up completely like it was stuck in park. The car sat in the road until i could get a tow truck to take it to a certified transmission repair shop. Last week i had taken it to a different certified transmission repair shop to check a transmission code that came up under a general p-007 code when the engine light came on. No transmission codes were present in the big computer in the shop...the guy told me the transmission was fine. This morning there was no engine light on at all. Since we bought the truck the transmission and electrical have acted a little flaky but this is dangerous, very dangerous.
The service 4wd light comes on. The transfer case engages and disengages when the interior light comes on when its not running. 4wd turns on at low speeds when turning and locks up the wheels. When the dash light turns on the 4wd dash switch doesn't work. I was told encoder motor or servo motor or front control module. Sounds like it happens a lot and its a wiring problem. Its been going on now for over 2 years just looking for the right answer.
My car at 65 miles on the highway car just turned off. No warning or notice. Car came to a crawl. I was lucky to get to the side of the highway. One there the car lights came on the check engine, red bolt lights and the oil light. After a few minutes i started car and it stalled then started but was a rocky start. I shut it off and restarted. The car worked fine. Then 3 months later the car did the same time. This when i placed it in the shop they said it was the transmission. So $1400 dollars later and 5 days i picked up my car and 3 miles away from shop the car did the same thing again. I took it back they did a test the codes where coming back as a weird codes. They did not have a clear answer so they did a throttle clean. Car worked fine. Next 3 months. I went out of state in june 2013 when my car stopped again my car was left in this state waiting on computer board that was out of stock until august 2013 when i picked up my car they placed the new system in it along with a wireless key. As soon as i crossed state line it stopped again. As you can see these issue are unsolvable or no want to take responsible forissue. I still have issue but i cant express it all in this some amount of time.
While vehicle is parked there is a noise from transmission switching in and out of all wheel drive and switching back to 4 wheel drive by itself. Engine is not running. This happens when parked only so far. I'm afraid could switch during driving. It has happened also when hitting the unlock button on the key fob. I originally thought another car was having trouble starting beside my truck. I soon realized it was my vehicle making this noise issue?
While driving my durango will just shut off (it doesn't run rough or sputter, it just shuts off) leaving me with no power steering or braking. I will coast to the side of the road, put it in park, then try to start it again. Most times it will start right up and other times it may take 2 - 5 minutes. This will happen about once or twice a month for the past couple of years. Otherwise it runs fine before and after it shuts off on me. One oddity that i notice is that all the gauges seem to work fine except the speedometer drops to 0 even through i am still coasting along. The engine light does not come on during this. This is very dangerous as i have almost hit other cars before since i loose my steering and braking abilities.
Transmission shifts by itself into 4wd. This happens while driving, and when the car is sitting unattended, with the ignition off. The transfer case makes an audible noise, then the wheels become very hard to turn while driving. This could easily result in a loss of control of the vehicle.
After buying the vehicle in 2009, it began shutting off when i decelerated for stops or turns. No engine light warning. In 2009, took it to the dealership 4 times. No help. Issues have continued. Took to dealership in 2010 3-4 times for same issue. Seems to shut off more in winter than summer but is very random. In 2011, more exploratory work was completed at dealership. Is there a lemon law? in 2012, i had someone else tinker on it. Still no assistance. The issues are less annoying now and becoming dangerous as it now shuts off at any time, at any speed, in any weather. I've tried new brakes, couple of new batteries, new computer chip, complete visual overall with computer assistance at dealership. Once when check engine light came on, o'reily's computer said that the sensor box had moisture in it. Dealership found no such evidence. All maintenance like oil changes are up-to-date. In 2013 in addition to the shutting off, there is a bumping when the brakes are applied and no one can contribute that issue to anything either!no help. Scared to drive but no $$ get a new one. I feel abandoned with a lemon.
Awd 5.7 hemi, the 4lo blinking while driving on both highway and city street and when i unlock my doors you could hear something engauging when the vehical was off. The 4lo light flashes and you can hear it switch under the car even when it is off. When, i unlock my doors you can hear it again.
The traction light and service 4wd lights stay on, you can hear the 4wd kicking in and out when the car is sitting the driveway. Dodge acts like they have no idea what is causing this problem. You can google the symptoms and everybody that has a 04 to 06 dodge is having the same issue. This should be something covered under a recall, there is to many people having the same issues.
Durango is shifting into 4 lo by its self.it is trying to shift into 4 lo while driving down the road making the 4 lo light flash and causing a whining sound.if you stop while it is doing this it will shift into 4 lo by its self and you can not make it shift back.
As i was exiting a highway, my 2006 dodge durango suddenly stalled out.the engine light came on after it stalled.i lost control of steering and was unable to brake.i nearly crashed into the car in front of me, and was barely able to turn the steering wheel enough to run into the curb to stop my vehicle! i was not able to re-start it and had to be towed.while waiting for police to arrive, i was nearly rear-ended multiple times.it was towed to a shop and the mechanic was able to start it up with no problem the next morning.he checked everything, and ran all diagnostic tests - all came back showing no problems.there is clearly a problem - and there are man, many, many complaints about it all over the internet.if i had been on the highway when this happened, i could have been in a very serious accident and could have been killed, or killed someone else, since i lost complete control of the vehicle and was unable to steer or brake.is it going to take a fatality before this is recalled and fixed??????i am scared to death to drive it now!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that the engine warning light illuminated. The instrument panel lighting also illuminated while the engine was shut off and the vehicle was unoccupied. The fuel and temperature gauge reading began fluctuating, the horn began to sound independently and the exterior lighting illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician reset the check engine light but the light continued to illuminate. The technician stated that the power train module would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired butthe failure continued after the replacement of the part. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that the 4-wheel drive option would inadvertently engage. However, when the 4-wheel drive button was depressed to disengage, it failed and the check engine and service 4-wheel drive warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and stated that the actuator failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While operating the vehicle, the power train erroneously switched to the 4 wheel drive low position and the traction control and 4 wheel drive sensor lights illuminated. While stuck in the 4 wheel drive position, the vehicle became very difficult to steer and failed to accelerate normally. When refueling the vehicle, fuel would spew out of the filler neck. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While turning at approximately 5 mph, the all wheel drive failed and the wheels seized. The service all wheel drive warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 112,000. The vin was unavailable.
In the winter of 2020 i had to use my 4wd lock in my durango. It never come out of 4wd lock. As a former ase technician and auto center manager i have to say dodge has a mess on their hands. 1st off its ridiculous to stop the flow of technical information to the owners of chrysler vehicles due to globalization!? i have been working on this vehicle for months as my patience allows. All testing and troubleshooting place the issue back into electrical issues within these durangos. This is a dangerous problem so many people own older dodge & chrysler products affected by this transfer case problem, recall it and get it done! now it has to go to a chrysler dealer to have the codes cleared by a dodge scanner. Issue with that is the local dodge dealer in the village i live is not known for honesty. I took my durango there when i had issues with security system. I was told it would need a $1000. Computer to start, then maybe another $1000. I took it home put a security module in it, been driving it since. Hold chrysler accountable, do something for these thousands of people who own nice looking nice running dodge products they can't drive due to transfer case issues, and its not just one issue, there are several issues & components in that system that are troublesome!!
The vehicle, on cold start up exhibited a surging idle, from 500 rpm ranging up to 2000 rpm. The idle finally leveled out and settled down. While driving the vehicle, i noted some surging present while at a steady speed. Once, while sitting at a traffic light while in drive, the vehicle idle jumped up and caused the vehicle to lunge into the intersection. Luckily no cross traffic was present and applying the brakes very hard stopped the vehicle from completely running through the intersection. There was no check engine lightpresent, nor has the check engine light ever illuminated on this vehicle, (other than the bulb check on start up), for any reason. As an ase master automobile technician and a former chrysler factory trained technician, i connected a scan tool to this vehicle to see what was going on. As stated, there was no cel, so there were no codes active, pending or historical. Observation of the live data stream revealed nothing out of the ordinary. With access to identifix, i researched and found several other instances of the same concern with 2006 durangos, with recommendations of replacing the throttle body assembly due to intermittent "glitches" in the throttle position sensor sending false readings to the pcm causing the idle control motor to increase the idle speed. I currently have this part on order from my local dealership. Once received and installed i will determine if further action will be required.
My 2006 durango will shift into four wheel drive automatically without warning. Sometimes this occurs when unlocking the vehicle when not running, using the remote to unlock the door. I feel that this is a life and death safety issue and should be resolved by the manufacturer. I have seem many other complaints of this happening.
My vehicle kicks in and out of 4wd whether it is parked or being drove. The vehicle has done this for the past 2 years and the dealership says they have no idea why this is happening. I know when you look up the issues that i am having online, they are a lot of people having this same issue. Dodge should have to fix this problem, it is should obviously be a recall problem, there customers should not be responsible for this.
Transfer case can be heard engaging even when vehicle is locked and unoccupied. Engaging is sometimes triggered by the remote when locking/unlocking doors. 4 lo light started to flash then my back wheels locked up when i was driving 70 mph on the bypass with children in the truck. It is a miracle we didn't roll over, but another truck was forced off of the road while i used two lanes to try to control the durango. I took the truck to the dealer and no one could find anything wrong with it (no active code)... It drove fine for a few days then the srvc 4x4 light came on and the truck switched into neutral while trying to cross a street... I couldn't move in the middle of a busy intersection. Towed the truck to the shop. Shop stated they didn't know what to fix. Still no active code, truck seems fine. I drove it a few more days and now it has slipped into a lower gear. Cannot travel over 35 mph.. Parking, reverse and tight turns are very difficult. My take off speed is nearly nonexistent. Truck shifted back into neutral on its own as i was making a right hand turn. I shut off and restarted the truck three times. All three times it sounded like a stun gun sparking behind my dash and it lit up with a white light from inside. The instrument panel cluster has failed. Recall g07: instrument panel cluster: known to overheat and catch fire. The recall was performed on my truck in 2007, there was no warranty on the replacement part. Dealership will not help. I am so sorry i bought this truck.please... Why is chrysler only responsible for fixing a recall one time/vehicle? they know it will fail again. It did, has and will continue to fail. Numerous owners have the same problem... Replacing transfer cases, cpu modules and their problems do not go away because their problem is a difficult to diagnose recalled instrument panel cluster that will never code and tell on itself.
I am experiencing a problem with the engine cutting off in full drive situations, all of sudden my check engine light pops up and that's my pre warning that my truck is getting ready to turn off. It is hesitant sometimes and waits till i am complete stop or sometimes it totally shuts down while driving in traffic. Very scary.

The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 45 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted as normal. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle jerked intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but the failure was unable to be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 107,000.
My 2006 dodge durango stalled out in the middle of traffic and caused me to be injured in a rear end collision because my pcm shut my engine down per design of the vehicle because my oil sending unit had a faulty wire and my pcm thought i didn't have any oil in my car which disabled my car completely by design of the manufacturer to keep my engine from damage because it thought i had. O oil. I have a faulty design product and not enough warning. I have been off work for a year with the injuries from the accident and luckily i wasn't hurt worse. My car shut down immediately without proper warning someone could be killedi have photos and a service repair documents stating the faulty oil sending unit disabled my vehicle..updated09/21/17 updated 10/23/17 ...updated 11/13/2017 updated 7/18/18
As i braked to park the durango, the engine abruptly stalled. Not sure why it stalled, but i know there was a problem with the 2004-2005 durangos where the engine would stall during sharp turns while braking.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while parked, the vehicle independently shifted into four wheel drive without any warning, preventing the vehicle from driving normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the transfer case was defective. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was unknown.
Transfer case motor actuator engages upon unlocking the doors using the wireless remote entry remote, also when using my trunk opening button from the remote sometimes the transfer case motor will actuate the truck will sometimes shift itself into 4 wheel lock and 4-wheel low sitting at a red light while i'm in drive this cannot happen at speed it creates an immediate safety concern because it can create a complete loss of power to the vehicle causing an imminent crash. By the transfer case engaging 4-wheel drive when the vehicle is at highway speeds it creates a violent collision between the transmission output shaft and the input shaft of the transfer case causing transmission and and transfer case failure and loss of power to the vehicle what can cause a collision this has been an ongoing issue for years from 2002 at least 2008 dodge durangos and dodge rams i am a ford stst senior master certified technician and i cannot believe that this issue has not been addressed by the government yet this is completely uncalled for and dodge needs to be held responsible for the electrical problems related to this malfunctionthe problem lies within the electrical wiring in the module between the 4 wheel drive switch inside the cab of the truck and the body control module then it's splices off and piggybacks to the transfer case control module somewhere between those three legs there is a problem whether it be in the module the wiring or both and it needs to be addressed immediately. Beings that i am a technician, i have already replaced my transfer case control motor actuator and fully examined all the wiring running to it and from it and found no shorts to ground no frayed wires or ground faults this is simply a computer related malfunction and during the malfunction it does not throw a dtc for a check engine light so there's for a tech to scan.
The 4wd svc light will come on at random while driving down the highway at various speeds. Sometimes it will be shifting into 4x4 on it's on and when i make a turn, i can feel the 4x4 working without ever physically turning it on. Other times, i can hear the transfer case motor making noise for about 2 seconds when i open the door or press the key fob button. I pulled a trouble code of c1404. Further research of this code and issue results in over 500 complaints online. It seems to be a common problem that should be fixed by the manufacturer before there is an accident. This just started on my 2006 dodge durango on 01/11/2021
My dodge durango will engage by itself into 4 wheel drive while driving at slow or very high speed-it is an issue with the transfer case electricly-could cause accident when this does it on it's own out of nowhere & many complaints have been filed about this issue-it does it at stopping,going slow or even at 75 mph
While driving the vehicle it will randomly shut off and lock the steering wheel.it has happened on several occasions but luckily i have been am to restart the vehicle and get it out of the road before being hit.
This is my second complaint. My 2006 durango seems to not want to change gears. It seems to do it more frequently when the air is on. However, it does it way too often when the air isn't on. It seems like a big jerk, and it takes it a minute to get into the gear. Especially when i try to speed up. It happens on short trips as well as on the interstate. It makes me feel like the transmission is about to fall out. I love my car. I have only had it a little over a year. However, if these problems continue, iwill have no choice but to trade it. I have already had one recall on it for the instrument panel. I need to know if there is a recall on this problem . I have talked to other people who are having the same problems.
I have a 2006 dodge durango which i bought new i took the truck in for a clunking sound from the transmission orrear end at 10,000 miles the dealer said that the sound was normalnow at 42,000 miles it is getting louder and more frequent i took it back in and was told it is normal i went on dodge forums and found several other complaints similar to mine my personal mechanic test drove it and said it was not normal and to take it back to the dealer he thinks it is either the transfer case or transmission.
-the contact bought a new 2006 durango on 11/18/06 from towbin dodge and she has been having problems since the purchase date. She took it back to the dealership four times for a shutter in the transmission when shifting gears at 10-15 mph.the failure has occurred four times. The dealer has had possession of the vehicle for 50 days and has not been able to repair the vehicle. She called the manufacturer, and they kepttelling her to call the dealer, and the dealer told her to call the manufacturer. Sherequested a different dodge durango and they will not comply.updated 2/27/2007 -
With our 2006 dodge durango, there is a shake of the transmission between 40-50 miles an hour. We first took the truck in to the chrysler dealership with this problem anda leak they replaced the front end differential.after this there have been 3 transmission leaks that they have repaired.the truck continues to have the same shaking so we took it to another chrysler dealership. With this dealership, they went on a test drive with us and were able to recognize the shaking. It is noted that this is a problem with our vehicle and when calling the chrysler star center they say that this is the way the truck is designed and there is no current fix for the problem! we were told by the chrysler district manager that we need to wait for chrysler to make a fix for the problem. They say that the shaking will not cause any problems, but as i said earlier, we have had multiple transmission leaks.when we were contacted about extending our warranty, we were denied due to there being a claim against chrysler.because of the shaking of the truck, we are unable to pull our travel trailer that is the main purpose of this vehicle. When we did drive the truck pulling the trailer that is much less than the towing capacity of the vehicle, it shakes bad enough to shake cups out of the holders. We now have to use someone else's vehicle to pull our camper.

Our 2006 dodge durango 4x4 slt is in the service dept for the 2nd time in two weeks for a transmission problem.i am told the "transmission solenoid" and "transmission filters" need to be replaced.two weeks ago, a "transmission control switch" needed to be replaced.in both instances, the vehicle was traveling on interstate when the durango's "transmission check light" came on.shortly later, the vehicle began to hesitate as though it was losing power.in both situations, the durango exited the freeway but began to jolt forward and backward.in both cases, my wife (2nd situation) and i (1st situation) barely made it home and to the service dealership.there is a clear safety problem with this vehicle... And it looks to be many more may have the same issue (safety bulletin #0803006; item #10021239).these situations could have had serious safety results due to the nature of the issue.please respond with detailed information regarding the referenced safety bulletins and items #'s. The parts are on back-order for 1+ weeks and we do not feel comfortable with this vehicle going forward... Even when/if it is "repaired".i asked the service manager at chrysler if they would drive the vehicle to ny, fl, myrtle beach, or the tn mountains after it is repaired... It was not recommended.safety recalls should be issued for durango transmissions.
2006 dodge durango shifts out of gear without key installed in ignition. My three year old son climbed up into the driver seat and shifted the vehicle into neutral without a key, and rolled down a hill with just him in the car and crashed into a tree. No one was seriously hurt but the circumstances could have been alot worse. There is a recall out there for this year, make , and model durango but my vin number was not included, the recall is for a "shifter pawl improperly installed". The vehicle is in the shop being repaired and photos of the item will be taken when the vehicle is torn apart. For some reason chrysler denied my claim to assume financial responsibility because they stated my vehicle had 90,000 miles and was not covered under factory warranty, although it was there mistake that caused the accident to begin with. The vehicle could have very well had this problem for the last 80,000 miles, but know one ever tried to shift it out of park before without the keys. Total damage to car has not been totaled yet, but is estimated to cost $5,000 to $8,000 dollars.

I have a 2006 dodge durango my incident happened on february the 8th 2008 my mother was driving my vehicle back from a funeral with my 88 year old grandmother they heard a loud sound that seemed to be something dragging beneath the durango. The vehicle immediately lost it's power and locked up. Drive shaft had fallen off the durango and was lying on the pavement. The dealership has taken a month to fix this vehicle and it still isn't working. Last friday march 7th of 2008 i was told my vehicle was ready to be picked up by the dealership. Since i never was given a rental my husband and i had to drive two hours to go and pick up the durango. Once we got the durango it was after 5:30 which the service department was closing. My husband and i ventured home he followed behind to make sure that i had no trouble with the durango. He noticed about 40 minutes after we had been driving that fluid was spewing out the rear-end of my durango and the passenger back tire was bouncing and wobbling uncontrollably. He immediately pulled me over and took over the driving of my vehicle while i drove his truck. I called the dealership first thing in the morning to tell them what was happening with the durango. They asked that i drive the vehicle back even though it wasn't safe to drive period. Once they realized that i wasn't going to make this drive they tried to get me to tow my vehicle to the closest dealership to me knowing that my warranty wouldn't pay anyone else since they had already started and were paid $2,600.00 to fix a vehicle that still wasn't running. In other words" i " the customer would get stuck with the bill. After arguing with them an entire morning including the warranty people and the dealership that was closest to my home. The dealership two hours away finally agreed to take my vehicle back. A tow truck had to be called again and drive two hours to come and get the durango.

We have owned our 2006 dodge durango since march 2007.during these 2 1/2 years we have had 3 seatbelt malfunctions.the first seatbelt to break was the drivers side rear passenger seatbelt.the plastic holding the buckle in place broke off, it was replace under warranty at our local dodge dealership.this happened sometime in 2007.the second seatbelt to break was the passenger side rear seatbelt.it did the same things as the previous seatbelt.it has not been replaced and we still have the broken part available.this happened sometime in 2008.the third seatbelt to break is the front passenger side seatbelt.it has broken in the same fashion as the first two.the plastic part that holds the buckle onto the seatbelt has broken.this causes the belt to slide around and not stay snug while it is buckled.this happened in august 2009.it is a very big safety concern because 3 of our seatbelts have done this.i expect to have a seatbelt that will keep me and my family safe while driving and these seatbelts are not doing their job.
I am the sole owner of this vehicle purchased in 2006. This vehicle has not been involved any crashes minor or major. Interior and exterior condition would be considered excellent, except what is noted below.broken latch plate plastic covers to the passenger side and middle seats.the belts for these seats will slide at will, move freely and not prevent the occupant from going up or forward in a vehicle crash. Bottom-line, my mutli-passenger vehicle is only safe for the driver to occupy.i have multiple pictures of these belts if requested.
Seat belts cannot handle stress when they are used to install a child's car seat.the plastic locking clip has been broken, replaced, and rebroken.

Seat belts cannot handle stress when they are used to install a child's car seat.the plastic locking clip has been broken, replaced, and rebroken.
The driver's side seat panel's seat motor cap was super glued on after prongs had broken by either selling dealer or manufacturer. This was found to have happened when vehicle was 8 months old and the cap fell off.at 10 months old, the same seat panel busted with normal entry of the vehicle. I weigh 115 lbs. At my weight, this piece should not break from normal entry. Can you imagine if it was a larger person? would the whole seat come apart? the leather forms a u-shape which is a nice cushion when sitting in the seat, but when entering the seat, the durango is high off the ground and the seat/steering wheel design is designed so one has to "slide" into the seat. When you "slide" into the seat, the seat pushes down on the edges which in turn pushes down on the thin, cheap plastic and the plastic cracks. The local dodge dealership said they will fix the problem only this once under warranty. They stated they fix approximately 20 vehicles a month that have the same problem. They said they have contacted dodge about replacing the plastic piece with more durable material to no avail. If this plastic piece continues to break (and it will as they are replacing with same quality of plastic), the mechanisms of the seat will be open to the touch which is a danger to the small hands of children who may reach in the vehicle. These durango's have electronic buttons on the side of this panel which if moved could seriously injure and disfigure a child's hands or feet if caught where the seat panel should be. I don't want it to be my child's feet. I don't feel i should have to replace a faulty part ever 10 months that i own the vehicle due to a cheap, faulty part. For a $39,000 vehicle, i expect better quality. I wonder how safe i am in the durango if i was involved in an accident since the seat can't hold up after only 10 months of normal use. My husband's supervisor's 05 durango had the same plastic seat panel bust during normal wear and tear also at less than 6 months!

Our dodge consistently stalls and dies when sitting at a stop light and/or slowing the vehicle to make turns. When this happens the engine dies resulting in the loss of brakes, steering,etc. Multiple times this has almost caused a wreck with other vehicles or has caused us to jump the curb almost hitting trees, etc. We've also had this happen pulling trailers and boats. This is extremely dangerous. I'd like to see dodge acknowledge this problem before someone gets hurt.
I already reported last year on december2015 and till now 4-27-2016 still doing the problem of light and airbagand waiting for the dealer to call me. I got confirm they got the part , may the 3 will take mycar. One of you personnelhelp to call the dealer and get it fix.
I have a 2006 dodge durango that just dies going down the road with out warning!this has happened many times. It started around 80000 miles and has gotten worse. When this happens i loss all power to the vehicle including the steering and brakes. This is a very important issue that needs addressed asap. People carry there family's in these vehicle's. From what i have read this is a ongoing problem with dodge during. Dodge needs to step up and fix the problem before some one is killed from this issue.

Approximately during summer of 2013, upon starting engine, the ignition would "stick" when key was turned forward.durango would have to be turned off and key taken out of ignition switch to try it again.then, upon shifting into reverse and backing up, the vehicle would come to an abrupt halt and be immovable for a time, usually until putting into park and re-starting vehicle.this is when the malfunction indicator light came on.we had to have vehicle towed at which time the wheels were locked in place, causing black skid marks from its point of tow to tow truck. The auto shop replaced the emergency brake which was "stuck or locked in position".malfunction indicator light went off temporarily.it came back on again in august, 2014.took to auto shop to diagnose.after 677.74 dollars in repairs, light still remains on.
While driving on a neighbor street, while there was rainfall. Hit a puddle steering and brakes locked.this has happened numerous times.i live in south florida and it rains alot during the summer.advised carmax in miami.they said this is because the serpentine belt is getting wet.this is very dangerous and someone could get hurt.they need to do some type of adjustment to these vehicles inorder for water not to interfere with the safety of pedestrians, motorists and occupants.this is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
While driving my durango will just shut off (it doesn't run rough or sputter, it just shuts off) leaving me with no power steering or braking. I will coast to the side of the road, put it in park, then try to start it again. Most times it will start right up and other times it may take 2 - 5 minutes. This will happen about once or twice a month for the past couple of years. Otherwise it runs fine before and after it shuts off on me. One oddity that i notice is that all the gauges seem to work fine except the speedometer drops to 0 even through i am still coasting along. The engine light does not come on during this. This is very dangerous as i have almost hit other cars before since i loose my steering and braking abilities.
The durango goes into 4 wheel lock for no apparent reason. The four wheel lock light keeps going on and off and clicking. The auto won't go anywhere untill i shift it back and forth - reverse - forward - when i first try to back it up there is a noice under the hood that sounds like a chain rattling.this has happened several times and i have had to the dealership at least 5 times.they can't seem to find anything wrong with it.
On 6/14/2015 i was about to back my trailer into my yard, when my gear shift column selector locked in park. I depressed the brake pedal and it would not budge. Additionally, my brake lights are no longer working. Prior to all of these problems i had to replace my ignition for it was locking and would not turn to the onposition or accessories position. It cost me $400 dollars for a new ignition to be installed by the dealer and now i have worse problems than before. So i began researching and here is my findings:1) safetyrecall g28 -ignition/park shift interlock in 2001 and 2002 models for many vehicles which included the durango. 2) the brake transmission shift interlock connector has malfunctioned will not allow the shifter to move.so if the dealer knows about these recalls why didn't they fix them free of charge.
My wife was driving the vehicle on a country road about 35 mph when the engine died and she had no power steering or brakes and had to drift to the side of the road.when she tried to restart the car the dash lights would light but the starter would not crank the engine.shop says the computer has failed.

I picked up my brand new dodge durango on jan 31st.a short time after, i received a call from my dealer, paramus dodge, regarding a safety recall for abs.i was told to schedule an appointment to have the defect corrected.i scheduled an appointment for monday, february 20th at 10 a.m.after sitting at the dealership for approximately 1 1/2 hours, they informed me that they could not perform the procedure because they did not have the right software that would enable them to correct the condition.it is quite troubling to me that i wasted time on my holiday to have this problem corrected.additionally, the dealer could not provide me with an estimate of when they will be ready to deal with the problem.moreover, i cannot believe that chrysler could have a safety recall and not be ready to deal with the recall.please let me know when and where this can be resolved.i am losing patience.this is a brand new car.
My abs light & brake light come on, and my passenger air bag turns off.when this happens, the vehicle becomes difficult to navigate and the back end get tight.this has happened 4 times, and the last time was on a busy highway, and i was lucky to miss causing an accident.we took the vehicle in on 4/18/06 and had all recall work done, and the vehicle still is not working properly.this last instance scared me to the point i do not feel safe driving the vehivle.
2006 dodge durango abs deploys prematurely when braking while elevation of paved road changes preventing vehicle from coming to a complete stop in a timely manner.experience at intersection where uphill road dead ends into cross road and elevation of cross road is flat.
I purchased a 2006 dodge durango in feb. Of 2006. Shortly after that i received a recall notice in the mail for the abs system. My abs light on the dash had been coming on periodically.i took the vehicle back to the dealership for the required repairs. The abs light continued to come on and i have taken it back a total of five times to date and as of yesterday the abs light is still coming on. The last time i took the vehicle back which was two weeks ago they thought they had found the problem, which was the abs computer had the wrong tire size programmed into it from the factory. They corrected that and was sure they had found the problem. Yesterday was the first time the abslight came on just after i started the vehicle and it was not moving. The other times the vehicle was always moving. By the way i have not changed the tires on the vehicle, the factory tires and wheels are on the vehicle that came with it. I have had the vehicle for well over a year and have made five attempts to get this problem fixed with no results. The brake system is a safety issue and i am considering turning the vehicle back in under the lemon law....
My 2006 dodge durango may not stop correctly at one specific intersection.the durango travels to the intersection to take kids to school or pick up from school.the route is traveled almost daily since january 3, 2007.on five occasions, the brakes did not function correctly.the road conditions are dry.the speed leading up to the intersection is 35 mph or less.the force pressed on the brakes is moderate for a simple, controlled stop at an intersection.instead of stopping normally, we hear the noise of a small motor.the brakes don't feel right and the car doesn't stop quickly.then, the brakes appear to fail and the car proceeds forward with no brake resistance. The reaction of the driver is to release the brakes and then press very hard.the car does stop with a jerk.after 3800 miles, the behavior only happens at the one intersection.the last three occurrences happened on the same day.we cannot duplicate the problem on demand at the intersection or on any other road.with dry road conditions, the car stops just fine with moderate or even heavy brake pressure.on an asphalt road with loose gravel, i applied heavy pressure to the brakes.i heard a motor; the brakes felt weird; the brakes never gave up; the car stopped quickly as expected.something is wrong with my car.we, the drivers, are too afraid to see what happens if we don't release the brakes.in each occurrence, failure of the brakes would have resulted in an accident.the first, unexpected occurrence almost did.the dealership will not attempt any action on my car since they cannot duplicate the problem at the intersection or anywhere else.
There are several recalls on 2006 dodge durango but my vin # does not show up for any recalls.but i am having the recall problems that are listed below* recall id# 07v092000 - electrical system: instrument panel*recall id# 06v039000 - visibility:windshield wiper/washer:switch/wiring*recall id# 06v067000 - visibility:windshield wiper/washer:motorrecall id# 06v044000 - air bagsrecall id# 06v240000 - suspension:rearrecall id# 05v554000 - service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/modulethe ones with the * are the major problems that i am having, i drive me truck every night to work and am afraid i will have an accident.i would also like for the other recalls to be checked as well. I have taken truck back to dealer two times and have gotten no results, but i'm still having encountering the problems. On12/3/07 i called 1-800 # and was told they would get back to me.haven't heard from them.
Dt*: the contact stated the abs light illuminated and a noise can be heard from the rear end.there is a nhtsa recall, #05v554000 on the vehicle regarding the service brakes, hydraulic: antilock: control unit/module.the parts needed to repair the vehicle are not available at the local dealership. The manufacturer confirmed the parts are not available.
Issue i: stallvehicle was being driven down a sloping road that curved to the right approx 35-45 mph. Steering became unresponsive and i realized moments later the vehicle's engine was no longer running.brought vehicle to the dealership. They could not find any problem. I recently went online to discover to my horror that i am not alone. In fact, on one discussion group over a hundred people reported experiencing stalls.i have a pregnant wife. I am concerned that were this to happen to her she would not have the strength to control such a large vehicle without power steering.issue ii: repeated warping of brakes.had vehicle for approx. 6,000 miles when noted pulsation of brakes. At next service i inquired about it and was told the rotors were warped and needed to be ground down. I felt it should have been covered under warranty. Dealer declined. Approx. 4,000 miles later the problem began to re-occur. I noted problem to dealership at next service. They expressed the rotors are warped. Dealership accused me of driving to aggressively as being the only cause. I do not accept this as valid. I am not an aggressive driver. I have seen that numerous others have reported similar problems. I have since read that improperly torquing the lug nuts may be a cause for this problem. I do not think it unreasonable to expect breaks on a new vehicle to last more than 4k-6k miles before needing maintenance. My last suv required one significant break service during the 115,000 miles of ownership.i feel that both of these issues endanger the safety of my family. I feel that neither issue has been satisfactory addressed by dodge.

While driving on a neighbor street, while there was rainfall. Hit a puddle steering and brakes locked.this has happened numerous times.i live in south florida and it rains alot during the summer.advised carmax in miami.they said this is because the serpentine belt is getting wet.this is very dangerous and someone could get hurt.they need to do some type of adjustment to these vehicles inorder for water not to interfere with the safety of pedestrians, motorists and occupants.this is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
While driving power steering seems to go out and the vehicle in unable to be turned.it is very dangerous to have this happen while driving, i was almost in an accident because of it.if you turn the car off and back on it will usually start turning again but is happening intermittently while on the road since the first occurrence.
Car steered right (right wheel in to keep car straight) and pulled left when braking (had to turn the wheel when braking to keep straight). Rack and pinion box wasn't holding torque. Replaced it, intermediate steering shaft and steering box. 22,880 miles.
While trying to start the vehicle from the parking lot the ignition switch would not turn. I had to insert the key in the switch 10 to 12 times before it would turn. I tried to unlock the steering wheel by turn it the best could to get the ignition to turn but it still would not turn. This happened on more than one occasion to myself and my wife. In 2012 we had to after the situation continued we had the ignition replace, a cost of almost $1200.00. I want to know if this was caused by what happened in the latest recall of over 1.4 million vehicles? ...updated 09/11/15 the vehicle was repaired. Updated 09/29/15
We were driving our 2006 dodge durango for about 5 minutes when all of a sudden the dash board lights started flashing. My husband was able to veer off the road on a side street and coast down into a parking lot. By this point the car was completely unresponsive.smoke started to come out of the vehicle vents on the dashboard. We thought maybe a part broke at first. My husband opened the hood and there was no visible fires and not a lot of smoke.smoke started coming more and more quickly out of the vents.we got our 3 children out of the car. By this point smoke was billowing out. My husband ran into a building and called for help. The business gave us a fire extinguisher and called the fire department.as my husband ran back to the durango flames he saw the dashboard start to collapse. Next thing we knew flames were flying up the front window. He used the fire extinguisher on it. The fireman arrived and helped make sure the fire was completely out.
Been losing power to the car while driving which cause me to lose my steering ability and the 4 wheel drive keeps kicking on and off while driving plus the wiper motor works sometimes and sometimes it donā€™t. The navigation system comes on and off whenever it wants to and the rear end keeps popping
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While driving approximately 20 mph, the four wheel drive engaged independently and caused the power steering to malfunction. The dealer diagnosed that the transfer case selector motor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
I've had problems with this vehicle since i bought it. Somedays the truck won't crank, check engine light goes on and off took it so salisbury dodge kept my vehicle for 4 days gave it back to me said they couldn't find anything wrong with it said they turned the light off for me 2 weeks later same problem like truck not getting gas, truck just cut off on me and my family while driving down the highway. Tookit to dealership where bought kept vehicle for almost 2 weeks catalytic converter was bad every since they gave me vehicle back which has been about 2 months still having problems radio turns by itself hit bump the truck turned off almost got rear ended trying to pull to shoulder, check engine light goes on and off, every time i call the dealership to get appt they say they can't give me one i just need to drop the truck off and they will get to it when they can,so what do i suppose to do until they can see what's going on i can't afford to pay for a rental they don't want to assist me with that. I'm really scared for my family safety i'm still having problems with the steering sometimes when i make a turn it doesn't turn correctly it's scary i reallyneed some assistant.
My dodge durango will engage by itself into 4 wheel drive while driving at slow or very high speed-it is an issue with the transfer case electricly-could cause accident when this does it on it's own out of nowhere & many complaints have been filed about this issue-it does it at stopping,going slow or even at 75 mph
My 2006 dodge durango stalled out in the middle of traffic and caused me to be injured in a rear end collision because my pcm shut my engine down per design of the vehicle because my oil sending unit had a faulty wire and my pcm thought i didn't have any oil in my car which disabled my car completely by design of the manufacturer to keep my engine from damage because it thought i had. O oil. I have a faulty design product and not enough warning. I have been off work for a year with the injuries from the accident and luckily i wasn't hurt worse. My car shut down immediately without proper warning someone could be killedi have photos and a service repair documents stating the faulty oil sending unit disabled my vehicle..updated09/21/17 updated 10/23/17 ...updated 11/13/2017 updated 7/18/18
Our dodge consistently stalls and dies when sitting at a stop light and/or slowing the vehicle to make turns. When this happens the engine dies resulting in the loss of brakes, steering,etc. Multiple times this has almost caused a wreck with other vehicles or has caused us to jump the curb almost hitting trees, etc. We've also had this happen pulling trailers and boats. This is extremely dangerous. I'd like to see dodge acknowledge this problem before someone gets hurt.

My complaint concerns the 2006 dodge durango slt.i was drivingduring rainy/stormy weather on sunday, 06/17/2007when i hit a puddle,i lost power steering and i was forced to stop.i was terrified, and i was unable to steer at all.i was able to make it to my destination and stopped briefly at a gas station to gather my wits.at that time the battery light came on as well, then it went off.when i was calm enough to go home the same thing happened and i was forced to stop inmy subdivision to avoid hitting parked cars.these two incidentswerepreceded by two similar incidents which were experienced by my fiance'.he took the durango to findley chrysler in tomball, tx the first time this happened and on monday, 06/18/2007, he took the durango to tomball dodge, and both certified dealerships told us that nothing was wrong with the suv.they just notified us to bring it back to them again if the power steering failure again.we opted to get rid of the vehicle rather than being unable to get the problem repaired or our questions answered and risk an accident, property damage and possibly our deaths.
I have a 2006 dodge durango that just dies going down the road with out warning!this has happened many times. It started around 80000 miles and has gotten worse. When this happens i loss all power to the vehicle including the steering and brakes. This is a very important issue that needs addressed asap. People carry there family's in these vehicle's. From what i have read this is a ongoing problem with dodge during. Dodge needs to step up and fix the problem before some one is killed from this issue.
My 2006 durango will shift into four wheel drive automatically without warning. Sometimes this occurs when unlocking the vehicle when not running, using the remote to unlock the door. I feel that this is a life and death safety issue and should be resolved by the manufacturer. I have seem many other complaints of this happening.
I own a 2006 durango with 66,000 miles. It requires repair to an inner tie rod. Chrysler does not carry the part and forces you to change the entire rack and pinion steering system at a cost of 1000$. The failure of this part can cause a severe accident . How many drivers cannot afford 1000$ and are driving as i am with this part that can cause an accident any minute!!
Intermittent and spontaneous activation of the windshield wipers and washers during operation of the steering wheel under normal driving conditions. Steering wheel sound system controls work erratically or in reverse of normal function. Ignition remains engaged until switch is recycled.seems to be low temperature related( happens more often in the cooler am). Vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times for repair attempts. Clock spring,multifunction switch,individual audio controls, and the front control module have been replaced under warranty by the dealer with out correcting the problem. Dealer states that chrysler will not authorize additional diagnosis. I am concerned that this is an electrical short in the steering column that may result in air bag deployment, or a vehicle fire, and injuries to my family. Chrysler reps will not address the problem when i have repeatedly attempted to contact them via their hotline at 1-800-992-1997.
2006 dodge durango, 6,000 miles on vehicle. Vehicle has had rust covering the power steering pump for about 4 months. Dealer (mcbrayer chrysler, aberdeen n.c.) notified of problem at 3,000 miles. Service manager made a note of problem and stated that he would change pump but he didn"t have part in stock. Contacted same dealer at 6,000 miles for recall on electrical and inquired about also changing power steering pump when doing recall repair. Dealer stated that the rusted power steering pump would not be covered by warranty.
Bought 06 durango in 02/07. I noticed during the following month how the vehicle pull to the left on the highway. After coming out of a right turn i noticed how the vehicle jerked to the left. While in park, i turned the wheel in either direction then let go. The wheel snapped back making an unusual sound which caused concern. Returned it to the dealer and was told the rack & pinion steering was defective. As of today04-04-07, the vehicle is still in repair at the dealer. It's been two days. This is my third brand new dodge vehicle. I've had to take them all back for some type of recall or problem that quality control and the dealer missed. I'm upset and want to have this vehicle replaced or my money, trade in and other cost returned.

I own a 2006 dodge durango adventure and every time i fill it up with fuel a half to a whole gallon of fuel comes out of the fuel nozzle. I have been to at least 15 different gas stations. I called dodge and the said there was a recall for this and is only for 2005 dodge durangos'. I and having the same problem and is eating away finish of paint. This should be looked in to due to fire hazard.
I have a 2006 dodge durango that spews gasoline all over the car, the person filling the tank (if you are not careful) and the ground whenever you are filling it up. I have researched and found there was a recall for the 2005 model year but have only been able to find complaints of similar problems with the 2006 with no solutions. This is a very dangerous condition and very harmful to the environment. We are discouraged from topping off our tanks so i am sure this is a concern. The paint on my car is starting to discolor from this happening numerous time. Please let me know what, if any recourse i have.
The fuel tank overflows at the gas station if filled completely. There is nothing to stop this from happening. I have tried adjusting the way i hold the gasoline nozzle, but nothing seems to make any difference. This is a fire hazard! it is hard to keep if from happening. When it happens, gasoline flies out everywhere, getting all over the vehicle and myself. It is scary. This needs a recall! in addition, the body underneath of the fuel tank has rusted as this has happened numerous times.
When filling the gas tank the fuel splashes and pours out all over me and the vehicle.the paint on the vehicle that is exposed to the fuel has begun to bubble and rust.if the inconvenience and hazard of the spill isn't enough the loss of fuel at today's high prices is an injustice that needs to be addressed.please help us! we paid a lot for our vehicle and now it looks like crap! dodge should care more about it customers!
When filling gas tank to capacity, the gas pump shuts off and gas spews from the vehicle out onto the vehicle and ground.i would estimate maybe 1/2 to 1 gallon of gas is involved.the vehicle was taken to the dealership, sherwood, of salisbury, md in 2011 to have problem addressed.was told that there was no problem to be fixed.received letter dated 2/1/2013 from chrysler group llc stating that the warranty on the fuel tank inlet check valve has been extended to lifetime coverage for my vehicle. It goes on to state that "if you are experiencing this condition now or in the future, to simply contact your dealer to have the repairs performed.took car to sherwood dealership and was given therun around. Was told in june 2013 that there was a shortage of parts available to fix my vehicle and they would call in a few months to schedule the repair. Called the chrysler customer care assistance center and reported the incident on 6/4/2013. Decided to file a grievance here with the nhtsa as this is an epa issue and safety issue due to the gasoline spillage. As a result of the gasoline spillage, the paint under the fuel filling area of the vehicle has bubbled and has now rusted in that area.have requested that this problem also be taken care of as it is a direct result of a malfunction of the vehicle.have been told that they would make the repair(whenever the parts are available) but, will not take care of the rust issue.would like to have feedback as to how to get this taken care of. It is absolutely ridiculous that chrysler acknowledges there is a problem, has sent a letter for instruction on how to address the problem, but has not actually fixed the problem 5 months from the date of the letter!!!!
This vehicle had a fuel overflow problem.chrysler has a lifetime warranty on fixing this. The problem is that the gas that was continuously overflowing on fill-up has caused the vehicle to rust under the gas tank.chrysler is saying this is not covered.also on the lift gate under the silver piece above the handle there is rust forming from dripping on each side of this silver piece.i believe this is a manufacture defect, but chrysler is saying none of this is covered.
Fuel tank overflows during fill up. Spilling tons of gas.because of the overflow there is a lot of rust forming on body were gas tank is.i have taken it to body shop to see about getting the rust fixed but said would have to replace that whole area because rust ate through. To be honest i thought i was doing something wrong when filling up at the gas station or something was wrong with the pump for a long time until i started researching on internet.i just spoke to dodge dealer and they told me that this is a new problem that dodge just extended the warrenty on so we can get the fuel part fixed.my problem is that we almost have this paid for and would like to keep for a few more years, has low miles, but the rust around gas tank is bad. I think there should be some help from dodge on getting this fixed since it was their fault.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that the bar above the passenger side door fractured and caused her to fall. The contact injured her right knee as a result. The manufacturer was contacted and advised her that she would have to take the vehicle in for diagnosis. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The failure and current mileages were approximately 127,079.
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.
Fuel tank overflows during fill up.i just receive a recall on this issue on 2/01/2013. I bought this car new on march of 2006. I don't know when this problem starts but notice the problem and blame the gas station for their pump not working properly. This problem has caused me a lot of problem because of gasoline shooting out of a tank to spill all over me (loss of clothes,shoes and rash on my arm, hand,footand legs).now my car where the fuel tanks is located caused the paint torust ($600 to fix) and my bumper to discolored and because i rotate my tires most of my log nuts($200) has to be replaced.i cannot quantify how much gasoline i loss during that period.i have called them regarding compensation for this matter and was told that they will fix the problem which they did but not compensate me.
When fueling the vehicle the gas pump clicks off then fuel spews out the filler neck of the vehicle this has caused the paint to come off and a hole to rust in the side of the vehicle just under the fuel cap.
Hil adding gas, the fuel overflow does not shut off when full.gas spills out of the tube and runs down the side of the durango and onto the ground.there is considerable rusting under the fill tube. I purchased thsi vehicle 4 years ago and it has always done this.the rust area had been repaired prior to me purchasing so i am assuming this has happened before my ownership as well.
2006 dodge durango. Rust on the outside of the rear driver's side wheel well. Also rust on both ends of the chrome piece above the license plate. I know of two other durango's of friends that have the same issue.

Every time we fuel up the durango, no matter how slow, or even if we allow it to "breathe"... When it gets close to full it shoots out fuel..seriously shoots it out, like 2 feet. We cant fuel it past 1/2 without this happening. Also fuel leaks from somewhere in the fuel fill tube to the tank when ever we fuel at all. I see other durangos have similar complaints for this model year.

The vehicle surges and makes a rattling soud when excelling. Feels like it's losing power. It delays starting when the ignition is on. The suspension feels like it's going to snap. The engine light and air bag light is displayed on the instrument panel/cluster.
I have had my front end replaced 3 times and my truck is still not working right, need to have control arms replaced.
My car at 65 miles on the highway car just turned off. No warning or notice. Car came to a crawl. I was lucky to get to the side of the highway. One there the car lights came on the check engine, red bolt lights and the oil light. After a few minutes i started car and it stalled then started but was a rocky start. I shut it off and restarted. The car worked fine. Then 3 months later the car did the same time. This when i placed it in the shop they said it was the transmission. So $1400 dollars later and 5 days i picked up my car and 3 miles away from shop the car did the same thing again. I took it back they did a test the codes where coming back as a weird codes. They did not have a clear answer so they did a throttle clean. Car worked fine. Next 3 months. I went out of state in june 2013 when my car stopped again my car was left in this state waiting on computer board that was out of stock until august 2013 when i picked up my car they placed the new system in it along with a wireless key. As soon as i crossed state line it stopped again. As you can see these issue are unsolvable or no want to take responsible forissue. I still have issue but i cant express it all in this some amount of time.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While driving 15 mph, the contact swerved to avoid a cat when the front passenger wheel, ball joints, and struts failed without warning.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Interior lights never go off and has a recall. The dealership tells me it takes seven days to get the part and have it programmed. This is unacceptable since this is my only transportation. This vehicle also has three other recalls that the dealership didn't tell me about. I think they are making this difficult so that customers will not get their recalls done.there is also a recall on a suspension part that could cause an crash- wipers and lights- and filling the gas tank is a royal pain in the ........ The fuel spits back out at you before your tank is full. These are all safety hazards that dodge needs to address with no cost or inconvenience for the owner. If these recalls are not repaired there is a reasonable chance that life threatening events could occur. Not sure why the dodge company allows these dealerships to do this to their customer. I suggest that every person who has had problems complain to the company as well as this site ------- may be someone will do something.
Upper ball joint failure; noise began at 27,000 miles; over the course of several visits to dealer, parts were replaced but not ball joints.was informed by tire dealer at 52,000 miles that the ball joints were seriously damaged.repaired at my cost.

Electronic stability control engages on dry pavement traversing turns for no apparaent reasons. Makes the vechicle very difficult and dangerous to operate.
Vehicle ran hot on this date,follwing the next day itshowed no problem. For the past 2 year at a stand still for about 5-10 minutes vehicle gage monitor is going up showing signs of running hot. I would imediately shut the engine off for about 1 minute. Then crank back up. The gage would go down back to normal status. If i come to another stop at a stop light it will go up again. Took vehicle to the shop several times to get it checked, accessor finds nothing wrong with it. It's a funny thing winter months my suv would never run hot. Here in south carolina it is getting hot and the problem has now started again. I have had 3 to 4 incidents with my vehicle running hot 2015 and is sure more are to come. As usual i shut the engine off to make the gage go back to normal. And yes the running hot light does come on. We just don't understand what is going on. I would like to know if there are others having the same problem and what should i do to fix it.

Sudden accleration when putting car in gear in drive or reverse on my 2006 dodge durango. I had a 2004 durango that gave me the same problem years ago and when i brought it into the dealer to check it out was told they could find nothing wrong with the car. They said at that time that because the gas pedal and brake are so close together that i probably had my foot on the gas pedal at the same time as i was braking to put the car in gear and that this caused the acclearation. I thought that might be the case until it happened on my 2006 model at least 7 times since i've had it. What is my recourse?
Issue i: stallvehicle was being driven down a sloping road that curved to the right approx 35-45 mph. Steering became unresponsive and i realized moments later the vehicle's engine was no longer running.brought vehicle to the dealership. They could not find any problem. I recently went online to discover to my horror that i am not alone. In fact, on one discussion group over a hundred people reported experiencing stalls.i have a pregnant wife. I am concerned that were this to happen to her she would not have the strength to control such a large vehicle without power steering.issue ii: repeated warping of brakes.had vehicle for approx. 6,000 miles when noted pulsation of brakes. At next service i inquired about it and was told the rotors were warped and needed to be ground down. I felt it should have been covered under warranty. Dealer declined. Approx. 4,000 miles later the problem began to re-occur. I noted problem to dealership at next service. They expressed the rotors are warped. Dealership accused me of driving to aggressively as being the only cause. I do not accept this as valid. I am not an aggressive driver. I have seen that numerous others have reported similar problems. I have since read that improperly torquing the lug nuts may be a cause for this problem. I do not think it unreasonable to expect breaks on a new vehicle to last more than 4k-6k miles before needing maintenance. My last suv required one significant break service during the 115,000 miles of ownership.i feel that both of these issues endanger the safety of my family. I feel that neither issue has been satisfactory addressed by dodge.
Durango stalls without warning while driving. Starts back up. No check engine light comes on. Rpm's rev up and down while idiling. Had computer flashed, but that didn't fix issue. Still stalls.
Vehicle is a 2006 dodge durango ltd 4wdvehicle's engine dies at low speeds either while turning or braking.has occurred on multiple occasions.engine always starts up again after occurrence.when this occurs the engine light will come on and will stay on for a period of time (time has varied from hours to days) but will then go off.the first time this occurred i brought it to a firestone dealership who check the car, checked the error on the computer and turned off the engine light.since the warning error was not specific nothing more was done.since that time, it has occurred on at least two more occasions and has nearly caused wrecks because of the problem.
The vehicle will shut off without any warning. No warning lights or anything, the vehicle just stalls in the middle of traffic, brakes or power steering doesn't work when vehicle shuts down. This can cause a very serious accident or death to myself and others around me. Help! this happened several times and when i take it to the shop they can't find anything wrong with because no error codes come up.
This durango had spewed gas during fill up ever since purchased 11/2006, so i just tried to be careful when filling.april 2012, i had some rust fixed around the rear wheel area on the gas tank side.did not really think too much about it at the time.1/29/14 i had an inlet check valve replaced at the dealership due to notification from chrysler and they said this could be a safety issue.thought then that this defect is probably what caused my rust issue but i had had that fixed so did not think anything about it....until it started to rust again in the same area.this is a without a doubt caused by the faulty inlet check valve.i believe chrysler intentionally did not notify their clients until the 100,000 mile rust warranty was up.they will not stand behind the resulting damage from the faulty inlet check valve.
Ignition cuts out while driving even at freewayspeeds. Dodge dealer had it happen while driving with computer hooked up and couldn't fix it.
The durango goes into 4 wheel lock for no apparent reason. The four wheel lock light keeps going on and off and clicking. The auto won't go anywhere untill i shift it back and forth - reverse - forward - when i first try to back it up there is a noice under the hood that sounds like a chain rattling.this has happened several times and i have had to the dealership at least 5 times.they can't seem to find anything wrong with it.
The vehicle operated for 60 miles on the highway prior to the collision. Road conditions were snow packed, and the ambient temperature was -1 degree fahrenheit. The vehicle was preparing to stop at an intersection. The driver was in the act of braking and slowed to about 1-2 mph. Suddenly, the vehicle began accelerating without control into the intersection. The driver slammed on the brakes while the wheels spunout on the road. Another vehicle collided with the dodge durango at about 45 mph damaging the left side and injuring the left rear passenger and the right rear passenger. The accelerator stopped with the collision although the vehicle engine was still running.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While driving 25 mph and coming to a stop, the accelerator pedal stuck to the floorboard for a couple of seconds. The vehicle kept accelerating at 60 mph when releasing the accelerator pedal. The throttle remained wide open when released. The contact had to turn the engine off to be able to stop the vehicle. The contact coasted over to the side of the road and the throttle started to release. The failure recurred twice.the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. In addition, the headlights failed when the switch was in the on position and the windshield wipers activated when the switch was in the off position. The failure recurred numerous times only when the temperature was forty degrees or less. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.

We were driving our 2006 dodge durango for about 5 minutes when all of a sudden the dash board lights started flashing. My husband was able to veer off the road on a side street and coast down into a parking lot. By this point the car was completely unresponsive.smoke started to come out of the vehicle vents on the dashboard. We thought maybe a part broke at first. My husband opened the hood and there was no visible fires and not a lot of smoke.smoke started coming more and more quickly out of the vents.we got our 3 children out of the car. By this point smoke was billowing out. My husband ran into a building and called for help. The business gave us a fire extinguisher and called the fire department.as my husband ran back to the durango flames he saw the dashboard start to collapse. Next thing we knew flames were flying up the front window. He used the fire extinguisher on it. The fireman arrived and helped make sure the fire was completely out.
Upon turning into parking lot of local store, car shut down and system locked up.no power steering and no engine light came on.was able to steer car to parking space, stop and restart vehicle.this is the second occurrence in 2 weeks.same scenario, going slow in parking lot and vehicle shuts down.another problem has come up now when after i start the vehicle in the morning, it surges from 1000 rpm to 2000 back and forth for about 10-15 seconds.my questions for the durango makers is when will their be a total recall on these suv's?
The contact leases a 2006 dodge durango.the vehicle has been to the dealer several times for nhtsa campaign id number 07v092000 (electrical system: instrument panel); however, the failure has not been corrected.the vehicle constantly fails to start, accelerates on its own, and the cruise control does not work.the dealer continues to state that there are no failures.the manufacturer agreed with the dealer and would not provide any assistance.the current mileage was 28,000 and failure mileage was 15,000. Updated 01/17/08the vehicle repeatedly does not start and sometimes when the vehicle does start it does not go into gear and once the key is removed from the ignition the vehicle still continues to run.updated 01/11/08

The interior and exterior lights will flash on and off when driving leaving us temporally blind in the dark, and also the wipers work erratically, they will either come by them selves for a few seconds and then turn off, or during rain storms they will work erratically.they will wipe fast for a few seconds, and then slow down to a 2 or 3 second delay between wipes under heavy rain when the switch is set to hi, then they will go fast again for a few seconds, and then slow again.it is a safety concern for my wife driving my two small children in the rain.also the radio audio turns its self down while driving when nobody touches the controls, and the steering wheel controls do not control the audio.i think it is all a connected issue with a defective clock spring which again i have seen many complaints about dodge clock springs being faulty on www.dodgeforum.com.
Turn signal switch malfunctions when it is cold and wet out. Will indicate right turn when turning left and vise versa, high beam also malfunctions and will sometimes turn on washer fluid, wiper function also not working right when others fail. Seems to be when it is wet and below freezing temperatures. Similar complaints all over internet.
Electrical problems, during cold weather 40 degrees and lower the wiper blades & lights, interior & exterior activate on their own.
Gasket around windshield is deteriorating, producing buzzing sound at 40 mph.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the windshield wipers were activated and failed to deactivate until the engine was turned off. A few moments later the left turn signal was engaged; however the right turn signal responded. There was a recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 06v039000 (visibility: windshield wiper/washer: switch/wiring). The vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 85,500.
While driving at night i tried to use my brights, but the windshield wipers would keep coming on instead.when the brights did come on then they wouldn't turn off.there are also times when i use the left turn signalthat the right signal would come on and the two signals would flicker back and forth.
Wipers activate on there own during cold temperatures. Occasionally the truck will die after wipers unexpectedly go off.
Heavy rain when wipers are on vehicle shut off while driving. Wind sheild wipers
Controller that turns between defrost, floor, and front was replaced under warranty a few years ago. It was raining, and a turned the knob to defrost....and nothing happened! the switch that opens and closes the compartments from face to defrost had broken. The blower still works, but all comes out on the face...no defrost or floor.there are 1000's of these complaints online. The dealership tells me, 2,000 to replace the plastic piece a manufacturer used recycled plastic which is a common problem to break. Now in rain, i roll down the windows, use mc donalds napkins to continue to wipe off the windshield so i can see to drive, while in route to my job in a suite.i can deal with the 2=3 gallons of gas on the ground while pumping gas into the faulty tank by stopping at 50, but this is ridicious!! i rear-ending car in front of me. Slight injuries, and a huge insurance bill while not being able to see while paraell parking to see through the windshield. There is no question this is a safety hazard. Unfortunately insurance companies do not see a faulty poorly compiled defrosting component switch as probable cause to be covered under the collision policy.

I have a 2006 dodge durango, bought it used about 4 years ago.about a year and half ago, approximately march of 2013, the vehicle started to stall while driving.it happened at all speeds and after it happening multiple times we figured out that it happened when it was wet/raining out.this is extremely scary and dangerous when going 70mph on the highway...to have your vehicle jerk numerous times and then completely shutoff (aka no power at all!).we have spent a few thousand dollars since spring of 2013 trying to fix the issue.we worked closely with our dealer to figure out the exact problem...figured out it was electrical (possibly when the windshield wiper are used...)but that was about as far as we got.some of the things they found and/or fixed or replaced are as follows: wiring that was frayed, re-ground numerous wires, replaced a handful of sensors, resealed connections between electrical components and main module (as well as resealed the boxes themselves since water was found in them), replaced the electrical module ($2k), and replaced entire electrical box(which included having to re-wire)...found a used one since brand new would have been $1200! .i have recently seen that there was a petition to the government to investigate (and hopefully recall) vehicles that have situations similar to what i have described above but they reference vehicles manufactured 2007 and forward but our 2006 is having the same issues!! since it has been to the dealer last (less than a month ago) we have not had the problem but there was a stretch over the winter where it didn't happen at all either so i am not convinced it is fixed...it seems the dealer mechanic is about out of ideas and so are we...
Been losing power to the car while driving which cause me to lose my steering ability and the 4 wheel drive keeps kicking on and off while driving plus the wiper motor works sometimes and sometimes it donā€™t. The navigation system comes on and off whenever it wants to and the rear end keeps popping

I have a 2006 dodge durango limited edition suv with blend air heaer system. I purchased this vehicle in november of 2006. This vehicle has been in shop approx five times for defroster not working and still is not fixed. This is a very dangerous condition in winter time as windshield fogs and you have to scrape inside of w/s to see. This has been at dealership numerous times and still is not repaired. Defroster will work once in a while but most times not. I don't know if dealer knows how to fix this problem. They seem to be at a loss as far as what the problem is?? are there other durangos with this same complaint that has or has not been resolved?? thisobviously has been an ongoing problem with this particular vehicle. I would like to have this repaired before winter approaches in sept/oct of this year.
2006 dodge durango with numerous problems one is the air bag light. Consumer states some of the other problems are rear air vents only work part time and shakes when sitting at a stop sign.the seat controls had to be reset on a continual basis.
Power windows:approximately 2 years ago, the passenger front window slipped down and would not come up.we were told by dodge that it would be @ $500.00 fix (power window motor/labor).we managed to get glass up and left it alone. Not long after this, my driver window was broken by a rock and replaced by safelite, just the glass.recently, the driver power window started acting up, fell down in door and broke.when glass was replaced 2nd time, safelite told us the following information: dodge vehicles can only be replaced with dodge glass and that up until @ 2 years ago, the 2 brackets holding the glass to the movable power arm was a metal bracket.this metal bracket has now been replaced with a type of plastic bracket attaching to movable power arm.herein lies the problem: over time, the metal brackets rust from moisture (rain) losing all adhesive in it that holds glass in place.once adhesive is gone, the glass comes out of bracket and drops into door or can fall out.even if glass does not break, there is not an adhesive available that one can try to adhere to groove in bracket to set glass in. Therefore, the consumer is forced to purchase a new glass that has new plastic brackets that attach to movable power arm and may be rooked into purchasing new arm/motor.now we know that passenger window problem is lack of bracket adhesive, arm/motor work fine. To make matters worse, our 2003 ram 1500 pick-up is having these same issues with both front windows! rear windows on both vehicles seem to be ok, because they are used much less.the window motors on both vehicles are fine-it is these brackets and lack of adhesion to window glass that is the problem.we could possibly be paying @ $1,500.00 to fix 3 front windows on our vehicles.extreme safety hazard not able to raise/lower window - safelite replacing many dodge windows due to this exact problem.
Using the windshield wiper on a 2006 dodge durango when the driver side wiper stopped functioning, while driving.the dealer says the whole linkage is broken and would cost $400 to fix.the dealer said that there is no recall on this model and i would have to pay to correct the problem.
2006 dodge durango with brake failure. Consumer states that the brake failure has caused her to be in 3 accidents. She states that everytime the vehicle has been taken to the dealer it comes back with the brakes feeling worse.the rear brake pads were replaced. Water was leaking from the windshield. The dealer replaced the glass.
Intermittent and spontaneous activation of the windshield wipers and washers during operation of the steering wheel under normal driving conditions. Steering wheel sound system controls work erratically or in reverse of normal function. Ignition remains engaged until switch is recycled.seems to be low temperature related( happens more often in the cooler am). Vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times for repair attempts. Clock spring,multifunction switch,individual audio controls, and the front control module have been replaced under warranty by the dealer with out correcting the problem. Dealer states that chrysler will not authorize additional diagnosis. I am concerned that this is an electrical short in the steering column that may result in air bag deployment, or a vehicle fire, and injuries to my family. Chrysler reps will not address the problem when i have repeatedly attempted to contact them via their hotline at 1-800-992-1997.

Complete failure of windshield wiper system in a national rent a car 2006 dodge durango during a torrential rainstorm while traveling 60 mph in the hov lane of i-5 in heavy traffic from los angeles to san diego. We suddenly could not see anything in front of us, and had to cross 5 lanes of traffic coming from behind and beside us to get to the side of the road (there was no curb on the inner hov lane). We narrowly avoided get hit in doing so, and feel fortunate that no one was injured in the process. It was what you would call the "perfect storm" for this kind of failure to have occurred, but i did feel it is important to make sure someone knew about this to make sure this car and its wiper system is checked so that some other family doesn't experience the same thing with more devastating consequences than an inconvenient delay of 3 hours. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango.the contact stated that the windshield wipers were not functioning due to a defective switch.through online research, he discovered a recall for this particular defect in which his vehicle was not included.the contact feels that this is a safety hazard because he frequently has to use the windshield wipers in the state of washington.the nhtsa campaign id number was unavailable.the current mileage was 47,000 and failure mileage was 39,900. Updated 3/19/09 updated 03/23/09.
At random times, including while sitting in the driveway, the transfer case on my 2006 dodge durango awd will engage the 4wd. It can happen while sitting in the driveway when you insert the key and before you start the engine. It also makes the clicking sound as if it is engaging when you unlock the doors (possible electrical problem?) it can also happen when driving while turning a corner, such as the sharp corners in a drive-thru. The effect is such that one wheel locks up as if one front wheel has the emergency brake on. When going straight there is no issue.i have researched on the internet and found forums where others are having the same exact problem. The problem is that it is random and intermittent, and difficult to reproduce at the dealership. Often their response is to simply replace one or more of the three main components without verifying that is the issue. This can be quite expensive for the owner and frustrating after spending large sums of money and the issue remains unsolved. I feel it is a safety issue because an inexperienced driver might have this issue in a drive-thru, and to overcome the lack of movement after pressing the gas pedal, they may rev the engine. This might overcompensate and cause the vehicle to dart forward into another car, or even into the building as the wheels are turned to go around the corner. If the 4wd disengages at the revving of the engine, this could also cause the vehicle to suddenly accelerate into another vehicle, pedestrian, or building.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While driving 15 mph, the contact swerved to avoid a cat when the front passenger wheel, ball joints, and struts failed without warning. As a result, the contact struck another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The driver sustained injuries that caused him to receive stitches on her left inside upper lip. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Fuel tank overflows during fill up.i just receive a recall on this issue on 2/01/2013. I bought this car new on march of 2006. I don't know when this problem starts but notice the problem and blame the gas station for their pump not working properly. This problem has caused me a lot of problem because of gasoline shooting out of a tank to spill all over me (loss of clothes,shoes and rash on my arm, hand,footand legs).now my car where the fuel tanks is located caused the paint torust ($600 to fix) and my bumper to discolored and because i rotate my tires most of my log nuts($200) has to be replaced.i cannot quantify how much gasoline i loss during that period.i have called them regarding compensation for this matter and was told that they will fix the problem which they did but not compensate me.
While vehicle is parked there is a noise from transmission switching in and out of all wheel drive and switching back to 4 wheel drive by itself. Engine is not running. This happens when parked only so far. I'm afraid could switch during driving. It has happened also when hitting the unlock button on the key fob. I originally thought another car was having trouble starting beside my truck. I soon realized it was my vehicle making this noise issue?
