2008 Dodge Durango problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A POTHOLE AND THE VEHICLE VEERED OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STRUCK TWO METAL MAILBOXES THAT WERE GROUNDED BY CONCRETE. THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, ONLY THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EVALUATED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.”

“My Car started smoking from under the hood and coming through the vents . It over heated . So then I opened up the hood and smoke with you coming out a bit crazy then something food from the engine like to hit me in the face but I do. It broke my dipstick oil stick the piece off. Now my car is running hot smoking and making a loud crazy noise sounds like it's going to blow up or something I don't know what to do help me please. my husband just recently passed so I'm on my own and I'm all by myself just me and my daughter so I don't know a lot about cars please help me”

“BEGINNING WITH THE FIRST TIME I FILLED THE TANK, WHEN THE FUEL FULLER NOZZLE IS SET TO AUTO FILL, WHEN THE FILLER CLICKS OFF, FUEL GUSHES BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. I WAS STANDING TOO CLOSE AND MY PANTS LEG GOT SOAKED TO THE POINT THAT MY SKIN BURNED FROM THE PRESENCE OF GASOLINE. [I'M GLAD THAT I QUIT SMOKING IN 1984 NOW FOR AN ADDITIONAL REASON.] THE NEXT TIME I FILLED THE TANK, I WATCHED THE VOLUME DELIVERED AND STOPPED THE FLOW ABOUT TWO GALLONS BEFORE FULL AND GENTLY PUMPED THE LAST AMOUNT IN. WHEN IT WAS FULL, IT BURPED OUT ABOUT A PINT AND A HALF ANYWAY. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY RECALLED THE 2005 FOR THIS ISSUE AND DIDN'T FIX THE REAL PROBLEM! THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE BETS BURNED. *TR”

“Alternator having to replace. There is a ticking sound that has been going on and the alternator goes out. I have replaced this part twice and each time before it goes out it starts to tick. Also have a brand new battery installed and it is dead again! Each time the alternator goes out it kills my battery. 2008 dodge Durango.”

“DODGE DURANGO 2008 WITH HEMI 5.7 L ENGINE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK NOW. I HAVE READ ON CONSUMER FORUMS THAT OTHER DODGE TRUCKS AND CAR OWNERS HAVE ALSO REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. IT IS DANGEROUS, AS THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER FILLUP AND AFTER DRIVING 20 MILES OR SO THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY CAR HAS STALLED IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE TAKING YIELD TURNS. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AFTER GAS FILLUP AND AS I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN I REPORTED TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.”

“WHEN TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR THE STREET AT 40 TO 50 MPH MY 2008 DODGE DURANGO ALMOST LOSES CONTROL WHENEVER I HIT A GROOVE IN THE ROAD OR THE SLIGHTEST BUMP. MY SUSPENSION HAS BEEN CHECK SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING IS EVER FOUND TO BE WRONG. I WAS RECENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER RECALL WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I WAS INFORMED THIS WAS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OR THE "ROAD WALK". WHEN I HIT A BUMP MY TRUCK CAN LITERALLY SKIP INTO THE NEXT LANE. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR DODGE SUVS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING SO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. MY FIRST STEP IS TO FILE A VEHICLE SAFETY TO MAKE YOU GUYS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING AND I'VE IGNORED IT THINKING THAT IS JUST THE WAY THESE TRUCKS ARE MADE, BUT AFTER ALMOST LOSING CONTROL WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.”
