“The left turn signal and the back track light go out at the same time intermittently. Also the stop and start function is still not working correctly and I had it at the dealer, dutchess Dodge 2x's now. 1st time they stated the stop/ start battery and the 2nd time they replaced the cel and still having issues with not working correctly. I have only had this truck since october. There's no way I should be having these issues. There is definitely going on with this truck and not sure why there is not a recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #11397462, filed 2021-02, 70,751 miles“1. My fuel tank will not fill up all the way and will stop at each fill up. I have to manually keep trying to pump the fuel. Almost always I can never fill fully up. This is a known issue and needs to be resolved. 2. I also have an issue with my racetrack tail light with condensation and water getting inside. I have a faulty light as I have had my dealer check for cracks or openings.3. Auto start on/off jerky and sometimes does not start on time and will jolt forward when trying to accerate at stop light.”
NHTSA complaint #11362173, filed 2020-10, 44,000 miles“When attempting to fill tank with gasoline, the pump constantly shuts off. I've attempted multiple gas stations and several people have tried filling the tank as well. Doesn't matter what the location/direction of the nozzle in the tank fill valve area....you cannot fill the tank. I've taken the vehicle in 4 times to the dealership for repair and I am still unable to fill the tank. They have replaced the fuel nozzle, replaced the gas tank, replaced the filter & completely disassembled and reassembled the gas tank.”
NHTSA complaint #11207491, filed 2019-05, 5,184 miles“I previously reported a fueling problem with this capless fuel system. This is to update the information and problem. Fuel still can't be put into the tank. The relieve valve or something in the system forces the gas station fuel pump to cut off every few seconds. The solution from the dealer and one mechanic is to replace the entire fuel tank at $1500-$1600. If you can't put fuel in a vehicle that's 3 years old with 45k miles, how can it be safe to drive? I basically have to stand there for 10-15 minutes clicking the fuel pump over and over while holding the fuel pump lever at 1/3 on. …”
NHTSA complaint #11354031, filed 2020-09, 45,103 miles“There is a noise coming from the fuel tank (right side second row) I had taken the car to the dealership and they stays that there is no noise, they had brought another Dodge Durango with the same fuel tank and that particular vehicle did not make the noise as mine does.”
