2005 Dodge Durango Complaint Log

WHEN I GET GAS IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I HAVE A LITTLE GAS OR HALF A TANK MY GAS AS I'M PUMPING ALWAYS COMES OUT AND BACKFIRES AT ME ....IT JUST STARTS SPITTING OUT AT ME FOR NO REASON... EVEN WHEN I'M EMPTY AND I START PUMPING GAS IT HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS OF PUMPING GAS IT JUST DECIDES TO COME BACK AT ME.. SO I'M WASTING GAS ALL THE TIME IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY FOURTH TIME I GET GAS....

GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE FILL TUBE WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW THE TANK IS FILLED. WHEN FULL, THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE DOES SHUT OFF BUT ONLY AFTER GAS HAS SPURTED OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE FENDER. I NEED TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT DATE IS LISTED BELOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL ESCAPES FROM THE FUEL FILLER NECK FUEL SPILLS UNTO THE PERSON REFUELING POSSIBLE FAULTY FUEL TANK THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING FUEL WOULD ESCAPE FROM THE FUEL FILLER NECK AND SPILL ONTO THE PERSON WHILE REFUELING. THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED IN AUGUST 2013 UNDER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 5V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM) FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

WHEN FILLING UP FUEL TANK, A WAVE OF FUEL IS SPILLED OUT EVERY TIME.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 4WD HEMI, HAS BEEN KICKING ITSELF INTO 4 WD, 4 LO AND EVEN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WILL BE OFF AND YOU CAN HEAR MECHANICAL MECHANISMS AT WORK. THE VEHICLE GOING INTO NEUTRAL HAS HAPPENED ONLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE THE OTHER SHIFTS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING PARKED DRIVING OR NO KEY.

THE TRANSFER CASE IS CHANGING FROM ALL WHEEL DRIVE INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE HIGH AND LOW BY ITSELF AT RANDOM. IT FIRST HAPPENED TO MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. SHE WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCHED ON ITS ON. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. DODGE SAYS THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. YOUR VEHECILE'S TRANSFER CASE MOVING ALL BY ITSELF. WHEN THE VEHECILE IS PARKED YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ACTUATING WITH NOTHING ON. CAR PARKED. THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH NO ANSWERS AND DODGE KNOWS NOTHING OR IS PRETENDING TO. THIS IS BIG. DANGEROUS ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL [XXX]. [XXX]. THA CAR IS PARKED UNTIL. THIS IS A DODGE PROBLEM NOT THE CONSUMER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL ESCAPES FROM THE FUEL FILLER NECK FUEL SPILLS UNTO THE PERSON REFUELING POSSIBLE FAULTY FUEL TANK THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING FUEL WOULD ESCAPE FROM THE FUEL FILLER NECK AND SPILL ONTO THE PERSON WHILE REFUELING. THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED IN AUGUST 2013 UNDER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 5V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM) FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

FUEL SPITS BACK AT END OF REFUELING. DEALER MENTIONED A RECALL ON THE INLET CHECK VALVE BUT THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. IT SHOULD BE. IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN A GUSH OF FUEL SPLATTERS ALL OVER THE ATTENDANT, MY CAR AND THE GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL UP.

SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON ITS OWN AND THEN BACK INTO LOW 4 WHEN BACKING UP ON ITS OWN ALL TYPES OF STREETS MOVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO EQUIPPED WITH PRIMEWELL VALERA HT TIRES, SIZE: P265/65/R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BEGAN TO SHRED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LEAN SUDDENLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE (301 OAK SPRING RD, WASHINGTON, PA 15301, (724) 250-8251) OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE TIRE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPLACED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MIEAGE WAS 133,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

WHEN FILLING THE TANK UP WITH FUEL, RATHER THAN STOPPING AUTOMATICALLY, THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND FUEL BURPS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AT A GAS STATION FILLING UP WITH FUEL. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE THE COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK FILLER INLET CHECK VALVE OR FUEL TANK FILLER. EACH ARE COMMON RECALLS FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE UNDER THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING OVER 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO FOUR LOW, WHICH CAUSED THE SPEED TO ABRUPTLY DECELERATE TO APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

WHEN FUELING WITH FUEL AT THE END IF NOT STOOPED REGULATORY TO ALLOW THE FUEL TO EMPTY INTO THE TANK THE FUEL WILL COME OUT OF THE FILLING HOLE AND KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU STOP THE FUEL PUMP. ONCE YOU STOP THE FUEL P[UMP IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 3 SEC TO STOP COMING OUT BUT UNTIL THEN YOU WILL HAVE ABOUT 1 QUART TO HALF A GALLON OF FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE DURANGO, TIRE, AND GROUND

WHILE DRIVING, SVC AWD LIGHT COMES ON, THEN GOES OUT. NO PROBLEM THERE BUT THAT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. IN A SLOW HARD TURN ON REVERSE, THE WHEELS SEEM TO BIND UP WITH AN UNCONTROLLED LOCK INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. WITH MY RESEARCH INTO THIS PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. 72 PAGES OF THE SAME COMPLAINT !! SOME EVEN TELL THE OF CAR SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY SLOWING THE CAR INTO DANGEROUSLY SLOW SPEED . I TRACED COMPLAINTS BACK TO 2004 , ALL DEAL WITH THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFT MOTOR OR THE WIRING CONTROLLING IT. ALSO RELATED TO THE A/C CONNECTION, OR THE AWD, 4 HIGH AND 4 LOW LOCK SWITCH. I EXPERIENCED THE SHIFT INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IN SLOW SPEED TURNING AND BACKING BUT TO HAVE IT SHIFT INTO 4 LO LOCK DURING DRIVING HAS ME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT ALL. OVER 350 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH ONLY ONE WEB SITE SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR DESIGN PROBLEM THAT DODGE HAS NOT ADDRESSED AT ALL. FYI I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AT KOCH 33 DEALER AND THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE THE PROBLEM IN ADVANCED. THANKS RICH

WHILE I AM PUMPING GAS IT STARTS TO COME BACK OUT AND IT'S SPITS OUT . EVEN WHEN I PULL THE GAS PUMP OUT TO STOP THE GAS IT STILL CONTINUES TO SPIT THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER IF I AM EMPTY OR IF I HAVE SOME GAS IN MY TANK

4 LO LIGHT FLASHING. SERVICE 4WD LIGHT FLASHING. SHIFTED TO 4 LO ON ITS OWN. STUCK IN 4 LO. HAVE TO UNPLUG TRANSFER CASE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. BACK WHEELS LOCKED UP. THIS HAPPENS IN A PARKING LOT AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND USING KEY TO FOB TO LOCK DOORS. LIGHTS FLASH GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS AT ALL SPEEDS. CAR WILL MAKE SHIFTING NOISES WHEN TURNED OFF IN PARK AND KEY REMOVED.

WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK UP, AT LEAST A GALLON OR MORE OF FUEL SPITS BACK OUT AND RUNS ONTO THE GROUND WITH NO WAY TO CLEAN THE GAS UP

2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED 5.7. MY DURANGO LOCKS ITS SELF INTO 4X4 ON IT'S OWN. I CANT DISENGAGE IT. THIS HAPPENS EITHER SITTING STILL OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE CARRIED IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME $2210+TAX TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE AND THE WIRING HARNESS. I GOT MY TRUCK BACK AND IT WAS STILL LOCKING IN 4X4. I CARRIED IT BACK AND THEY SAID THE WIRING HARNESS IS DISCONTINUED SO THEY REPAIRED THE WIRE TO THE TRANSFERCASE AND THEY SAID WHEN THEY FIX A WIRE IT CAUSES ANOTHER TO GO OUT SO THEY FIXED IT ONCE AGAIN AND SAID I CAN NO LONGER USE THE WARRANTY ON IT BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND THEY WILL HAVE TO START CHARGING ME EVERY TIME BUT WHEN I GOT IT BACK I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND IT LOCKED IN 4X4 WHEN I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC WHICH CAUSED ME TO TURN WIDE CAUSING ME TO PULL INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC ALMOST HAVING A HEAD ON COLLISION. I NEED THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY, IT CAN OCCUR SITTING STILL OR MOVING.

2005 DODGE DURANGO LTD WITH A 5.7L HEMI. STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC OFTEN WHEN IT RAINS WHETHER STATIONARY OR MOVING. ACCORDING TO PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A FEW OCCASIONS, BUT I AM REPORTING THE MOST RECENT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WATER DRAINS ONTO THE MANIFOLD AND SOMEHOW CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN DRIVE, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHENEVER THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WAS ENGAGED, A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WAS HEARD. FURTHERMORE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FAMILY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (215-492-8600, LOCATED AT 6735 ESSINGTON AVE, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19153), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 166,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER EVERYTIME FUEL IS ADDED. ABOUT 20 GALLONS INTO THE 27 TANK IS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT'S NOT ONCE OR TWICE, BUT EVERYTIME I FILL UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWED DOWN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE FAILURES WERE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO BELIEVED THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SWITCH FAILURE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE HIMSELF AND BELIEVED THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY DUE TO A FAILURE IN THE WIRING HARNESS BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR FAILED. THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR REMAINED ON THE HIGH SETTING. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE HEATER PANEL HIMSELF, BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.

EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN THE TANK IT SPILLS OUT AT THE END OF REFUELING ALL OVER THE CAR AND GROUND.

IT SWITCHES INTO 4 HIGH AND 4 LOW ALL BY ITS SELF. THE VEHICLE CAN BE OFF FOR HOURS AND IT STILL WILL DO IT. THE SCARY THING IS IT WILL SHIFT LIKE THAT WHILE DELIVERING AS WELL. VERY DANGEROUS, AND LUCKY THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE EITHER COMING TOWARDS ME OR BEHIND ME, CUZ I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND I AN SURE A INCOMING CAR WOULD OF KILL EVERYONE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIX. THERE IS HOUND TO BE A LAW SUIT AND I READ THREE IS ALOT OF OTHER AND YOU PEOPLE KNOW IT.. THIS WILL BE ON YOU PEOPLE,

TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MOTOR SHIFTS INTO 4WD AND 4LO ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE VEHICLE IS OFF. I WROTE ABOUT THIS A WHILE BACK, STILL NO SOLUTION. MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

CAR GOING INTO SVC 4WD WHILE DRIVING ATLOW AND HIGH SPEEDS WHEN YOU USE THE REMOTE TO LOCK ANDUNLOCK CAR YOU CAN HEAR IT CLICKING INTO 4WD HARD TO TURN MAKING CLUNKING NOISE WHILE IN SVC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL TANK VALVE FAILED AND CAUSED FUEL TO SPILL OUT.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RE-FUEL, IMMEDIATE BACKFLOW/DISCHARGE OF FUEL CAUSING HAZARD. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN FUEL TANK IS BELOW 1/4 TANK LEVEL. RE-FUELING MUST BE DONE AT A VERY SLOW RATE TO REDUCE NUMBER OF BACKLOW DISCHARGES THAT OCCUR DURING A SINGLE RE-FUELING SESSION.

THE AWD ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES ALL ON ITS OWN. IT CAN ENGAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING WHICH LOCKS UP THE FRONT WHEELS, IT ALSO ENGAGES WHEN YOU LOCK / UNLOCK THE CAR. I FIND IT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALSO SAID SERVICE 4WD ALL THE TIME. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE ARE MANY PAGES ONLINE OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AFTER TURNING THE KEY OFF AND REMOVING THE KEY. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO LOCK INTO 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODE. I STUCK MY KEY BACK IN AND TURNED IT TO JUST BEFORE STARTING ENGINE TO SEE IF ANY DASH LIGHTS COME IN AND THE SVC LIGHT FLASHED ONCE. WHEN I'VE TURNED THE IGNITION ON BUT LET IT IN PARK I HEAR THE SAME CLICKING SOUND. I'VE TURNED THE KNOB THAT CHANGES MODE FROM 4LO, 4X4, AND AWD BUT THIS CHANGED NOTHING. I WAS TOLD THE SOUND COMES FROM THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR BUT NONE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PLEASE INVESTIGATE SEVERAL OF THE ON-LINE FORUMS ARE FULL OF THESE SAME TYPE OF ISSUES WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS MINE; AND EVEN WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP ACT OF IGNORANCE ISSUES I EXPERIENCED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT BLACKED OUT AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 204,000.

2005 DODGE DURANGO GOES DEAD WHILE DRIVING ON ANY TYPE OF ROAD DOESN'T MATTER IF ON INTERSTATE OR DIRT ROAD IT JUST DIES AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT AS ALL LIGHTS AND RADIO WORK. RESULTS IN LOSE OF ABILITY TO STEER, BREAKS, AND SPEED. HAVE TO PUT THE DURANGO IN PARK ONCE IT ROLLS TO A STOP THAN CUT IT OFF AND BACK ON FOR IT TO WORK AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WILL GO 25 MILES WITH OUT PROBLEM AT OTHER TIMES 5 FEET. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND TOOK TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND NO CODES READING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. STALLS WHILE MOVING ON HIGHWAYS, DIRT ROADS, & INTERSTATES!

I HAD TAKEN MY DODGE DURANGO FOR A RECALL ON AIR BAG AND THEY REPLACED.. ALSO MENTION THAT WHEN I AM FILLING UP MY DODGE DURANGO WITH FUEL IT WOULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY STOP WHEN TANK WAS FULL CAUCUSING FUEL TO SPLASH ALL OVER INCLUDING ME THEY INDICATED TO ME THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON MY DURANGO THEY ORDERED THE PARTS AND TWO DAYS LATER CALLED ME AND SAID WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT. DEALER WAS DAVIS MOORE DODGE IN WITCHITA, KANSAS

MY DURANGO WAS SERVICED ON 2/23/2018 WITH REGULAR UPKEEP STUFF LIKE NEW BATTERY, OIL CHANGE, ECT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, MY RPMS WOULD JUMP AND DROP WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. ON 3/10/2018, I STARTED MY CAR AND DROVE A FEW BLOCKS AND IT DID JUST FINE, LATER THAT EVENING, I DROVE ABOUT 4 BLOCKS AND MY ENGINE DIED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP AND MAKE IT ABOUT A BLOCK BEFORE IT DIED AGAIN, ABLE TO RESTART IT AND MAKE IT HOME BEFORE MY ENGINE DIED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NO CODES COULD BE PULLED AND THAT MY CAR WAS SHORTING OUT DUE TO MY RADIATOR AND WATER PUMP. WE REPLACED THOSE AND MY THERMOSTAT AND THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE FINE. DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 15 MILES OR LESS AND IT DIED AGAIN. SO I TOOK IT TO THE NEXT SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME ANYTHING BECAUSE IT NEVER DIED OR ACTED UP IN THEIR CARE. SO THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN. THE [XXX] THING DIED TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE SHOP. THE GUYS AT THE SHOP TOLD ME TO GO FILL UP MY GAS TANK AND PUT FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER IN IT. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS MAKING IT HOME OR TO WORK THE NEXT DAY. I WAS HEADED TO LUNCH THE NEXT DAY AND IT DIES BEFORE I EVEN LEAVE THE WORK PARKING LOT. I DRIVE HOME AND IT DIES TWICE, ALL ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP. I LIVE MAYBE 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY JOB AND MY GAS TANK WENT FROM FULL TO HALF A TANK JUST BY GOING TO WORK AND HOME. TODAY, I LEFT WORK AND MADE IT A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM HOME WHEN IT DIED AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP!! I HAD TO TOW MY CAR HOME. THE DODGE HOUSE SAYS ITS 150.00 DOLLARS TO JUST PULL THE CAR INTO THEIR BAYS AND WHEN IT DOESN'T SHOW CODES OR THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, THEY CAN NOT DO ANY THING FURTHER AND SEND ME ON MY WAY. THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS DEATH TRAP AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE TRANSFER CASE MAKE CLICKING COUNTS WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE CAR IS IDLE. IT ALSO MAKES THESE CLICKING NOISES WHILE THE CAR IS OFF PUTTING THE CAR INTO 4 LO ON ITS OWN. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN. THE BATTERY DIES FREQUENTLY AFTER A WEEK OF NOT IS USE.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, MY 4LO LIGHT WOULD BLINK AND THEN GO OFF, AND THEN MY SVC 4WD LIGHT WOULD GO ON FOR ABOUT 4MIN. I TOOK IT INTO MY MECHANIC, HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. TODAY, AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY - WITH MY 3 KIDS, ALL MY WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT DRIVE IT. MIND YOU, I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET NOW. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR I COULD HEAR MY CAR TRYING TO SHIFT FROM 4LO/4HI/AWD. I HAD TO CALL MY HUSBAND TO COME HOME TO GET MY CAR OFF THE STREET. IN LOOKING UP THIS MATTER ONLINE, THERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THIS AND SEEMS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR CAR SHIFTING FROM AWD TO 4LO OR 4HI - THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO THE MECHANIC AND YOU CAN HEAR IT TRYING TO SHIFT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF - NO KEY OR ANYTHING - WOW! MECHANIC SAID I WAS VERY LUCKY. I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE.

MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM THE HOOD AREA (I HAVE PHOTOS) AND AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED . I TOOK MY CAR IN AND THE AIR BAGS WERE REPLACED BUT NEVER DEPLOYED AND CAR IS A TOTAL LOST DUE TO FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL OVERFLOWED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND A DEALER.

"TAKATA RECALL" I'M HANDICAP, TRYING TO GET AIRBAGS REPLACED, KEEP GETTING RUN AROUND, DEALERS NO HELP, FINALLY ONE DEALER SAYS PARTS ARE ON ORDER , BUT STILL NO RESULTS, HAVE BEEN OVER 1 YEAR, I'M STILL RECIEVING RECALL LETTERS IN MAIL, FRUSTRATED, NEED VEHICLE FIXED,

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND ALLOWING CHILDREN TO CROSS IN THE CROSSWALK, MY VEHICLE TRY'S TO ACCELERATE/JUMP FORWARD EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT HAS THE BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY PUSHED DOWN. THE SCHOOLS IN MY TOWN GET PACKED WITH TRAFFIC AND YOU HAVE TO KINDA OF STOP AND GO AT A SLOW PACE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO TRY'S TO NUDGE FORWARD ON ITS OWN WHEN SLOWLY STOPPING AND GOING IN TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING AROUND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WITH CHILDREN AROUND. I HOPE THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE IS ABLE TO BE RESOLVED. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE, WHETHER I'M PICKING UP OR DROPPING OFF KIDS AT SCHOOL, OR I'M CREEPING ALONG VERY SLOWLY STOPPING AND GOING LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT, OR AT A RED LIGHT OR SLOWING DOWN BEFORE ENTERING A DRIVEWAY, OR ANYTIME I'M IN A DRIVERHRU AND I HAVE TO CREEP ALONG AND STOP AND GO. WOULD LOVE FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED. I WILL EVEN PAY FOR IT, I JUST WOULD LIKE IT TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO STALL. THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND THE 4 LOW WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (LARRY H. MILLER DODGE PEORIA AT (480) 865-3986 (8665 W BELL RD, PEORIA, AZ 85382) STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

IT IS A AWD CAR BUT SOMETIME THE 4LO LIGHT COMES ON WITH A VERY ANNOYING NOISE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR OR ENGINE, THEN THE SPEED BEING SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CAR BECOMES HARD TO KEEP GOING. THE STREAKING SOUND AND THE SPEED BEING REDUCED LIKE THE BREAK BEING STEPPED ON ABRUBTLY MAKES ME PULL OVER FOR SAFETY.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHILE CONDUCTING A U-TURN ON BOULDER HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SHUT OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO SEE THAT MY CAR WAS STOPPED AND AVOIDED HITTING MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS STOPPED BETWEEN TWO LANES. AFTER A FEW MIN I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO RESTART.
