2018 Dodge Durango Fuel system Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the fuel system system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Fuel system reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

First we thought the fuel pump went bad due to the vehicle not starting. Pump was replaced and about 3 weeks later the same issue persisted. When the shop investigated it turns out the fuel tank harness and body side connector needed to be replaced due to connections becoming loose and delivering low voltage to the fuel pump causing it to burn up

I PURCHASED A 2018 DODGE DURANGO ON MARCH 9, 2021. A MONTH AFTER BARELY DRIVING IT, I NOTICED THAT I CAN'T FILL UP ALL THE WAY AS FAR AS GAS. SECOND TIME TRYING TO FILL UP. LOOKS LIKE IT A 'FILLER NECK' ISSUE. ALSO, THE BUTTON TO LOCK ALL PASSENGER WINDOWS DOES NOT WORK. IT WON'T LOCK THE WINDOWS. THE BUTTON JUST LOCKS UP OR DOWN BUT WON'T LOCK THE PASSENGER WINDOWS. I PICK UP MY CHILDREN FROM WORK AND I'M AFRAID THEY MAY PLAY WITH THE WINDOWS.

I WAS UNABLE TO ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME UNTIL DODGE REPLACED THE FUEL FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY. THE FUEL WOULD POUR OUT ONTO THE GROUND OR THE PUMP WOULD KEEP SHUTTING OFF BEFORE THE TANK WAS FULL.

I GOT THE CAR WITH 100 MILES ON IT AND THESE PROBLEMS CONTINUE.... KROGER'S AND MANY OTHER GAS STATION PUMPS KICK OFF WHILE FUELING. I HAVE TRIED PULLING THE NOZZLE OUT SOME, SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER LESS, ETC & THEY STILL KICK THE PUMP OFF. IT LITERALLY TAKES 10 MINS TO PUMP $20 WORTH OF GAS. ALSO, I HAVE A SLIGHT DELAY WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOP SIGN, ETC. ITS LIKE A SECOND DELAY THEN ITS LIKE IT DECIDES TO GO AHEAD & GO. RADIO/CONTROL SCREEN HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED DUE TO IT GOING TO A FULL BLACK SCREEN & FULL BLUE SCREEN, SHUTTING OFF, ETC. HOWEVER, EVEN THE NEW RADIO STILL LOSES THE PROGRAMMED STATION SETTINGS.

MOST PUMPS DO NOT WORK ONLY COSTCO CANNOT FILL THE TANK WITH MORE THAN $1 - $2 WORTH OF GAS WITHOUT THE PUMP CLICKING OFF. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL GAS STATIONS AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM EVERYWHERE. I HAVE TO HOLD THE NOZZLE ALMOST UPSIDE DOWN IN ORDER TO PUMP GAS. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 2 MONTHS AND I AM READY TO GET RID OF IT SOLELY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
