2008 Dodge Durango owner complaints

The gas tank began burping upon filling. Once the auto cutoff clicks off, about 5-10 seconds later the tank burps a large puddle onto the ground that is well larger than my foot. Apparently this is an ongoing issue that starts with a recall in 2005. I found this while researching how to repair the issue. The issues have transferred into 2007 durangos and now to my 2008. Did Dodge fail to accurately address the 2005 recall? This is unacceptable to have repeat failures in a design. This is also an environmental concern that I am inclined to report to the epa. Maybe they will get Dodge to take action. I have written this based on research without contacting Dodge because apparently they did not do anything to help countless other people. My durango had 51,000 when it started failing

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 Dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel spewed out of the filler neck valve. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000. ...update 01/20/12 *bf

I filled up gas tank on 2008 Dodge durango using the auto lock on gas pump handle. When tank was filled and handle clicked gas began to spew out of the filler tube before I could remove gas pump handle. Total spillage was less than half a gal. *kb

Fuel system "spews" gasoline seconds after automatic shut off valve stops pump. Believe this to be an issue with the filler tube check valve referenced in 2005 Dodge during recall. Extremely unsafe. This has happened numerous times. *tr

On my 2008 durango, the "fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve" has stopped working. This is the same problem that Dodge recalled some 2005 durangos for in 2009 (NHTSA campaign #09v003000) at each fill-up, no matter what gas station, when the tank is filled up, and immediately after the pump automatically shuts off - a large amount (1 gal or so) of gas literally "spews" from the gas tank for the next 5 to 10 seconds. This gas will spray the person pumping the gas, as well as the vehicle and surrounding area. This is a significant safety hazard, from multiple perspectives. Dodge has claimed that the 2008 models are not covered under the same recall, but the same exact problem is present. Therefore a new, expanded recall should be issued. *tr

Upon filling fuel tank nozzle kicked off like normal but gas spewed out of the neck of the gas tank. *tr

Every time I fuel the vehicle up (at multiple gas stations) the pump does not shut off a when the tank is full, causing fuel spit back and overflow. This causes a fire danger and a hazmat situation. *tr

Vehicle was stationary at a filling station fuel pump with engine off. When the filling pump nozzle shuts off back pressure from the vehicles fuel tank forces a stream of gasoline back out of the fill neck. This happens every time the fuel tank is filled. I have read that this is a common problem in several Chrysler vehicles caused by a faulty check valve in the fuel tank.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 Dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel spewed out of the filler neck valve without warning. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 80,000.

On november 24, 2017 car purchased from pinellas auto brokers, inc. Located at 4600 66th street north, st. Petersburg, florida. The next morning, november 25, 2017,car was taken for oil change and inspection. Was told the vehicle would need frame restoration and then apply for a salvage title after inspection, none of which was disclosed at time of purchase. Salesperson assured me that no vehicles come to the lot with any major damage, only minor issues. Per mechanic, not road worthy and is outside mechanical limits; not only a danger to the passengers, but other drivers as well and unsafe to drive. I do not feel safe driving in this car with my 2 children (ages 3 & 6). My mother paid for the car via debit card. Would like to know what recourse I have for selling an unsafe vehicle.

I went to a gas station to fill up on fuel and when the attendant heard it click off and tried to remove the gas hose the gas tank spit fuel back out and down the side of my vehicle. This is the second time it has done this and only the second time I have done a full fill-up since I bought it in august. *tr

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Dodge durango. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The vehicle air bag light keeps coming on and throwing a code so the vehicle can not get an inspection sticker. The code is for the clock spring with electronic stabiltiy control. This part is not available and is back ordered per the dealer. Called Dodge and got a lot of I don't know with no resolution . This part is a $900 part you would think they would have an answer as to when it would be available. They should supply an extended waranty on this part seeing as every durango seems to have this problem. No airbag would deploy without this part.

Takata recall- I have contacted all Dodge dealerships in my area for repair, and no one will return my calls to help rectify the recall. I have left voicemails and been re-routed to automated systems for over 3 months.

The clock spring with electronic stability control keeps alarming. It is now a dealer only part , at a $900.00 price for the part. Have recalls on driver and passenger airbags, passenger airbag not available at this time

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Dodge durango. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v352000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the contact's vehicle would receive the recall repair. The contact was not experiencing a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

2008 Dodge durango was parked at 11:30 pm. At 3:00 am engine fire occurred and car was total loss. Fire started behind drivers headlamp area. Fire dept and chryslers independent investigators could not determine how it started but did determine no arson was involved. Therefore car ignited on its own. *kb

After several weeks of diagnostics, it appears that the engine control module was operating inconsistently which caused excess gasoline to flow to the catalytic converters that eventually clogged the catalytic converters and caused a cylinder to blow. As a result, the ECM (a fairly inexpensive part) caused over $10,000 of damages to the vehicle. There could be a severe risk when the catalytic converters are clogged as they become so hot they will glow red and cause a fire if any flammable items are below such as leaves, for example. *tr

My 80 year old mother-in-law could not get seat belt released. My husband tried to get her out and couldn't. We had to cut the belt. *kb

The transmission puts itself into 4wd sometimes with an instrument panel light, sometimes without. It does this both when stopped and at highway speeds. I've seen hundreds of the same complaint when I searched this online. It's a 2008 model but it's a relatively new car for me so, that is why I'm just mentioning it now. In the few months I've owned the vehicle, this has happened no fewer than 10 times. On two separate occasions it happened while I was driving. I did not crash on either of those occasions but, it was very close both times. The second time, after lurching very hard across two lanes, it then kicked into neutral and I was unable to accelerate or even continue down the road to a safe spot to stop. Instead, I was stuck in an active lane to wait on a tow truck. Luckily, I
