2005 Dodge Durango Complaint Log

ALARM/KEY FOB FAILS TO ACTIVATE DUE TO DEFECT IN SOLDERING OF BATTERY HOLDER TO CIRCUIT BOARD. FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. THE BATTERY HOLDER IN 2004-2006 DODGE KEYS COMES APART FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD, MAKING THE KEY NOT WORK, AND STRANDING YOU WHERE EVER YOU HAPPEN TO BE. WHEN YOU OPEN THE KEY, YOU SEE THE BATTERY HOLDER OUT OF WHERE IT WAS ATTACHED TO THE 'MOTHERBOARD', AND CAN PUSH IT BACK IN AND MAKE THE KEY WORK, BUT IT'S ONLY A TEMP FIX AS IT KEEPS COMING APART. *TR

THE CAR (DODGE DURANGO 05) TOTALLY DIES AT ANY RANDOM TIME, THE STEERING LOCKS AND EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH OR TWO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN TOWN. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET HIT LAST WEEK FROM BEHIND..I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR TO WARN TRAFFIC COMING OFF A HILL TOWARDS MY DEAD CAR, THAT I WAS DISTRESSED AND TO GO AROUND.....WE PURCHASED THIS CAR 3 1/2 MONTHS AGO. TOOK TO THE DODGE DEALER AND HAD THEM GO THRU IT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG. THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND DROVE IT...I CAN NO LONGER FEELS SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR

THE TRUCK LOSES ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING AND STALLS. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY GIVEN TIME IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS, LOW TRAFFIC AREAS AND AT ALL SPEEDS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THE DEALER STATES THAT IT IS THE EGR VALVE. THIS APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD IMMEDIATELY SPILL BACK OUT FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER INSPECTED NOR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE.

2005 DODGE DURANGO: STARTING AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES, OR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, WHENEVER WE TOPPED OFF THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE WOULD SPURT BACK UP OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AT THE END OF THE FILL WHEN THE PUMP KICKED OFF. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE TANK. FILLING UP OUR OTHER VEHICLE AT THE SAME PUMP DOES NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. FILLING UP OUR DURANGO AT ANY PUMP RELIABLY REPRODUCES THE PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL FILLER NECK ON VEHICLE, SPRAYS GASOLINE DURING FILL UP- ABOUT 1- 2 CUPS EACH TIME. DODGE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX UNDER THE 2 RECALLS- CHRYSLER HAS BASICALLY SAID TOUGH. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER.

VEHICLE PURCHASED USED IN JUNE 2010. WITHIN DAYS OF PURCHASE, VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED AND THROTTLE SERVICE DONE, IDLER PULLEY REPLACED. STALLING PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR ON AND OFF ALONG WITH HARD SHIFTING, HESITATING, LACK OF POWER ISSUES. TRANSMISSION REBUILT IN JAN 2012 AFTER IT "FROZE" BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. BELL HOUSING LEAK DETECTED AND FIXED IN JUNE 2012. STALLING WORSENED, OCCURRING NOT ONLY FROM START UP BUT WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT IN ACCELERATION TO SPEEDS JUST ABOVE 40 MPH. REVVING IN PARK, NEUTRAL AND WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC STARTED IN EARLY 2013 AND CONTINUES TODAY. HAVE HAD VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITH NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM. TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH, WATER PUMP, FUEL INJECTOR, COIL, VACUUM SENSOR, AIR INTAKE SENSOR, KNOCK SENSOR, PCV VALVE, PLUGS AND WIRES HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED BUT PROBLEMS PERSIST. THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER AS IT STALLS WITHOUT WARNING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND REVS SO HIGH AT STOPS THAT I HAVE HAD TO PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE TO PREVENT IT FROM LURCHING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. LINKAGE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. COST AROUND $450. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGOS FUEL TANK SPEWS FUEL ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN I AM FINISHING A FILL UP. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THAT I FILL MY TANK FULL. I SEE THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGOS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT THE RECALL DOESN'T INCLUDE MY VIN. IF A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM IT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF EVERY AFFECTED VEHICLE. IT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL! *TR

ANY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK UP ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHEN THE TANK GETS CLOSE TO FULL THE FUEL DOESN'T STOP AND IT SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK GROUND AND MYSELF. I T HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS SO I HAVE ELIMINATED THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT IS THE PUMP. GAS STATION ATTENDANTS GET UPSET WHENEVER YOU SPILL GASOLINE BECAUSE OF THE CLEANUP PROCEDURE AND I AM ALSO UPSET AS IT'S GAS I HAVE PAID FOR BUT CAN'T USE. THE DEALER TELLS ME MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL H-45 AND THE COST TO REPLACE THE TANK IS IN EXCESS OF $650.00. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY CAR AT THE GAS STATION, IT OVERFLOWS. IT'S A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT IT. THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO. *TR

ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING LOSING ALL POWER ASSISTED CONTROL TO VEHICLE. VEHICLE STALL WILL OCCUR AT RANDOM TIMES AND DURING DIFFERENT DRIVING MANEUVERS; TURNING LEFT, STOPPING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT. SERVICE/REPAIR SHOP UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE VERY POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HAZARD CREATED BY THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. STALLING OCCURRED LESS FREQUENTLY IN THE BEGINNING BUT HAS INCREASINGLY BECOME MORE OFTEN; APPROXIMATELY ONCE A DAY. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS AND POWER STEERING SEEMS TO GO OUT WHEN MAKING A SHARP RIGHT TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS 5-6 TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS IN GETTING REAR-ENDED BY A CAR BEHIND US. THE DODGE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG! *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR SLOW TURNS THE VEHICLE STALLS. HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO, HOOD OF VEHICLE CAME LOOSE AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. *BF OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT # 10-0282-90. *JB

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN [XXX]. WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL OVER FLOWS ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND AT THE END OF THE FUELING PROCESS EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE TANK. MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE STATION AND PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT. IN ADDITION, THEY WOULD NOT GUARANTEE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, ONLY THE POSSIBILITY OF HELPING WITH PAYMENT. FELT THIS WAS UNSATISFACTORY DUE TO DODGE ALREADY RECALLING SOME 2005 DODGE DURANGOS AND THE APPARENT CONTINUATION OF THIS PROBLEM OUTSIDE OF THE ACCEPTABLE VIN NUMBER RANGE. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. I AM UNABLE TO FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE AND COULD ONLY REFUEL WITH SMALL AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE AT A TIME. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IN MARCH I HAD MY 2005 DURANGO IN FOR THE 2 RECALLS AND ADDITIONAL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS DONE AT THAT TIME AS WELL. IT HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. THIS PAST SATURDAY, IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AS WELL AS DROVE IT, AND NOTHING AT ALL SHOWED UP. I AM VERY FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ITS SUDDEN STALLS. I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE FOR CHRYSLER DODGE TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH I BOUGHT NEW. ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, IT STARTED SPILLING FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERYTIME I FILL IT. THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF BUT A GREAT DEAL OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER EVERYTHING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID ALTHOUGH SOME 2005 DURANGOS WERE COVERED UNDER RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, MINE WASN'T. HE SUGGESTED I FILL THE TANK SLOWER. NOW I KNOW WHY THIS DEALER ISN'T A 5-STAR DEALER. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE DURANGO WAS ELIMINATED WHEN DODGE DOWNSIZED. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK USING THE AUTO FILL AT THE GAS STATION, WHENEVER THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF GAS SHOOTS OUT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I WENT ONLINE AND LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL WAS EVEN ISSUED. ARMED WITH THIS INFORMATION I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED MAR 05. I WILL ALSO BE CALLING CHRYSLER AND COMPLAINING TO THEM. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO SINCE MULTIPLE YEARS AND EVEN 05 CARS ON COVERED IN THE RECALL ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 05 DURANGO WITH THE 5.7 HEMI V8 HAD NO PROBLEMS THEN A FEW MONTHS WENT BY AN STARTED TO NOTICE THE STALLING PROBLEM TOOK IT TO SHOPS NO PROBLEMS SO I WENT ONLINE TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE AND I FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WELL TODAY DREW THE STRAW WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE 75MPH AN THE [XXX] THING SHUT OFF NO POWER NO STEERING NO NOTHING HAD MY KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT AS WELL... WHEN IS THIS COMPANY GOING TO REALIZE THEY HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM SOMEWHERE THAT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF IT SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOTICE AND HAS NO POWER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AN GET OUT OF HARMS WAY... AND OF COURSE IT CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP BUT THEN SHUTS OFF AGAIN HAPPENS SOMETIMES THEN WEEKS MONTHS CAN GO BY AND IT JUST DOES IT AGAIN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH OUR 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN IT. MADE A LEFT TURN, TRAVELING AT APPROX. 5-10 MILES PER HOUR WHEN VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. NO STEERING...NO POWER BRAKING...NOTHING. TRUCK WAS ABLE TO RESTART IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE EVENT. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINTS. I'M NOT SURPRISED. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NOT PUT OUR CHILDREN IN IT. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 66,000. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN AN INTERSECTION OR MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE? *TR

WHENEVER I AM STOPPED OR IDLING, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. THE RPM GAUGE WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN AND THE ENGINE WILL REV BY ITSELF, WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL FLICKER, THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL IS OFF BUT THE RUNNING/OUTSIDE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. THE STEERING TIGHTENS UP,BUT THE BRAKES WORK. THE CAR IS ABLE TO BE PUT IN PARK, SHUT OFF AND STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, SO FAR. IT NORMALLY ONLY HAPPENS WHEN GOING AT SLOWER SPEEDS, OR STOPPING AND BEING IDLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS, NORMALLY ONCE A WEEK, BUT THIS PAST WEEKEND IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. WE NOW DON'T LEAVE TOWN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE IT JUST AROUND TOWN. I HAVE KIDS AND DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN WHILE IM DRIVING AT ACCELERATED SPEED. ACCORDING TO ALL OF THE 100'S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND, NO ONE IS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG, DEALERSHIPS CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM OR CODES. WHICH HAS BEEN MY ISSUE. PLUS, DODGE DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP. I WAS TOLD I SHOULDN'T LOOK ON THE INTERNET FOR COMPLAINTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE BEGAN TO SPEW FROM THE FILLER TUBE, SPILLING ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND THE CONTACT.

IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER BEFORE A DETERMINATION WAS MADE WHETHER THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,615.

FUEL FILLER NECK DOES NOT SHUT OFF, RESULTING IN A BACKFLOW OF FUEL OUT OF THE NECK WHEN THE FUEL TANK NEARS FULL. SLOWLY ADDING FUEL WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS NEAR FULL DOES NOT PREVENT FUEL BACKFLOW. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND WHEN I FUEL THE PUMP WONT STOP AND GAS COMES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND. THE DEALER SAYS THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BUT I HAVE FOUND AT LEAST 500 OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FUEL BUT NOT THE CORRECT VIN. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLING WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. JANUARY 2010 DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HAPPENED AGAIN 4/8/2010. DEALER REPLACED EGR VALVE BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND TO COME BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HOPEFULLY IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AND I GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

DURANGO STALLS WHILE TURNING OR STOPPING. *TR

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO IT STARTING SPILLING GAS WHEN I TRY AN FILL IT UP, I KEEP CHECKING RECALLS BUT NOTHING FOR MY VEHICLE AND RESEARCHING OTHERS THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT ONLY CERTAIN 05 DURANGOS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX MYSELF SO I HAVE TO MONITOR HOW MUCH GAS TO PUT IN, AT $4.00 A GALLON I DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT ON THE GROUND. IT WOULD BE NICE FOR TRIPS TO FILL IT UP TO MONITOR MILES PER GALLON AND TO GET THE MOST MILES WITHOUT STOPPING MORE OFTEN. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, WHY CAN'T ALL THESE VEHICLES BE RECALLED, IT IS DEFIANTLY A PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000. THE VIN INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THREE HOURS LATER, THE CONTACT TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER BUT NO REPAIRS WERE MADE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO V8 HEMI, SEVERAL MONTHS BACK, STARTED LOSING ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING INCLUDING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I WOULD HAVE TO TRY AND COAST TO A STOP WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DURANGO WOULD THEN RESTART AND RUN FINE. THIS HAS BEEN INCREASING IN FREQUENCY OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH IT OCCURING TWICE YESTERDAY, MARCH 29,2010. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS OCCURED WHILE TURNING, SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC, AND WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH AN INTERESCTION. I HAVE CALLED DODGE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH NO ANSWER AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT, AS IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THERE ARE MANY SITES WITH OTHER OWNERS VOICING THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEM AND ALSO LIST THAT THIS WAS BROUGHT TO DODGE'S ATTENTION IN THE PAST AND THEY DIDNT FEEL THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I ONLY HOPE IT DOESN'T COST SOIMEONE'S LIFE FOR THEM TO ADMIT THAT IT IS OF CONCERN TO THEM

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A PROBLEM WHERE ABOUT 3-6 CUPS OF FUEL COMES SPEWING FROM THE FILLER HOLE WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. THIS "SPEWING" OCCURS JUST AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE "CLICKS" OFF SIGNIFYING THAT THE TANK IS FULL. THE FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND SURROUNDING PEOPLE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFILL THE TRUCK. I FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT OTHER DURANGO'S ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM UNDER NHTSA RECALL 09V003000 AND 05V034000. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. MY DEALER, ORANGE PARK DODGE, DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WHICH IS THE SAME PART RECALLED ON OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN BEFORE IT CAN BE REPLACED. SINCE CHRYSLER IS CHANGING THE PART FOR FREE ON RECALLED VEHICLES, BUT MY 2005 DURANGO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS ALSO INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE TANK WOULD LEAK OUT IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT SINCE THE CHECK VALVE IS NOT CLOSING AS DESIGNED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH I BOUGHT NEW AND NOW HAS 43500 MILES. FOR THE PAST MONTH, EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK AT ANY STATION AND PUMP, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF CORRECTLY AND THEN GAS COMES POURING OUT OF THE TANK ONTO ANYONE STANDING CLOSE AND RUNS DOWN THE CAR ONTO THE GROUND. I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF GASOLINE COME BACK OUT OF THE TANK. I SEE THIS AS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHICH TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE PLATFORM BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALL SAFETY OR OTHERWISE. SO I THOUGHT I SHOULD CONTACT NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION.

FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK. CURRENT RECALLS FROM CHRYSLER ARE CHRYSLER RECALL E01 AND H45. NHTSA RECALL 09V003000. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LOCAL DEALER, LINDER DODGE, NEW LONDON CT. FUEL TANK PROBLEM DETERMINED TO BE SAME AS RECALL. AS OF 04/19/10, CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY $260 FOR REPLACEMENT OF FUEL TANK. 2005 DODGE DURANGO SUV. I KNOW OF SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS SIMILAR SITUATION ON AN 2005 DURANGO, MANUFACTURED 12/04. MY DURANGO WAS MANUFACTURED 03/05. THE FUEL SPILL PROBLEMS HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER PAST 5 MONTHS. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A CHRYSLER DEFECT, WHEN OTHERS DON'T HAVE TO PAY? I HAVE HAD FUEL SPILL ON ME.HAD TO STOP WHAT I WAS DOING, GO HOME, AND CHANGE CLOTHES, ALONG WITH DEAL WITH DEAL WITH ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE OF VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND MY BUILD DATE IS OUT OF RECALL DATE OF MANUFACTURE, THAT I HAVE HARD COPIES FOR. BUT IT SEEMS THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED, BECAUSE THE DEFECT IS OCCURRING IN A LARGER NUMBER OF VEHICLES. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 ENGINE STALLS @ LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS TWICE IN 2 MONTHS. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS. THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT USED AND THE CARFAX REPORT INDICATED NO PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE HAS 85,000 MILE. PLEASE HELP!!!

REF MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO . THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WILL NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS ALLOWS 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. *DT

OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH A 5.7 HEMI ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF OUT OF THE BLUE WHILE DRIVING HOME. IT IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. DRIVING SPEED WAS AROUND 35 MPH. IT HAPPENED AS WE LET UP ON THE THROTTLE. IT DOES RESTART BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO STOP AND CONTROL WHEN IT HAPPENS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD OVERFLOW WHEN FILLED, WHICH THE CONTACT ADVISED WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE ROLLOVER VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT HE HAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CLAIM WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I CAN NOT FILL UP MY VEHICLE ALL THE WAY BECAUSE FUEL SPEWS OUT BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT IT AS A DEFECT OR RECALL ANYMORE. I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS RIGHT BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SECURITY HAZARD. THIS ISSUE IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH IF AN IGNITION SOURCE HAPPENED TO BLOW NEARBY. I THINK THE DEALER SHOULD FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE. I KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE SO THE DEALER SHOULD FIX ANY ISSUE THAT COMES UP CONCERNING ALL FACTORY DEFECTS AND/OR RECALLS REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN. *TR
