2005 Dodge Durango Complaint Log

05 DODGE DURANGO 5.7L V8 ENGINE STALLS DURING DECELERATION AND TURNS WITH ACCELERATION. EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WITH LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKING. DRIVING 60MPH ON FREEWAY 331 ENGINE STALLED ON LANE MERGER CAUSES SEVERAL CARS TO SEVERELY BREAK AND THE DURANGO TO RUN OFF THE ROAD IN A DITCH. THE RESULT WAS TOWING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. AFTER VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP WE DROVE THE VEHICLE 100MILES AT WHICH TIME IT STALLED AGAIN CAUSING ANOTHER NEAR FATAL WRECK WITH MY WIFE AND 3 SMALL CHILDREN PRESENT. THIS ISSUE IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH DDC HOWEVER WE WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY STALLING ISSUES. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I FEEL MY FAMILY WAS PUT IN DANGER OVER AN ISSUE THAT SEEMS VERY COMMON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 100,000. UPDATED 8/10/09 *CN UPDATED 08/13/09. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. HE RECEIVED RECALL CAMPAIGN NOTICE NUMBER 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR REPAIR. HOWEVER, THE RECALL REMEDY WAS NOT PERFORMED DUE TO THE UNAVAILABILITY OF THE PART REQUIRED FOR THE REPAIR. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS REGARDING THE PART BEING ON BACK ORDER. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE GAS FILLER NECK ONCE THE GAS PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. GAS IS SPRAYED OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE AND ME, IF I'M NOT CAREFUL. DODGE STATES IT'S MY PROBLEM TO FIX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL WAS EJECTED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK, SOILING THE CONTACT AND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE :STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 1/30/13 *CN

MY 2005 DURANGO STALLS WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP OR SLOWING TO TURN. THERE IS NO WARNING, EVERYTHING JUST STOPS. LOSS OF POWERSTEERING MAKES THE SITUATION VERY UNSETTLING AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING AN UNPROTECTED LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND HAVE NOTICE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF STALLS OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. HAVE NOT YET HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT DUE TO THE INABILITY TO CONSISTENTLY RECREATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE THE FUEL SPIT BACK ISSUE ADDRESSED IN CHRYSLER RECALL 05V-034, EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK WAS BUILT IN 3-05, AFTER THE SUPPOSED DATE OF THE MANUFACTURING FIX. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY GAS TANK SPEWS GASOLINE WHEN FILLED. SINCE MY VIN IS AFTER THE DATE OF THEIR EXPANDED RECALL THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE FUEL TANK THE GASOLINE WILL SPLASH BACK/SPILL OUT WHEN THE SERVICE PUMP 'CLICKS' OFF. ISSUE STARTED TO OCCUR AT APPROXIMATELY 70000 MILES. VEHICLE IS BUILT AFTER EXISTING RECALLS (CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 09V003000 & 05V034000) -- VEHICLE BUILD DATE 3-4-05'. *TR

THIS IS REGARDING THE LATEST SAFETY RECALL NOTICE H45 TO MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SUV TO THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. SINCE RECEIVING THIS NOTICE I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO DODGE DEALER IN MOUNT AIRY, MARYLAND, A TOTAL OF SIX TIMES, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE VISITS TO ORDER PARTS AND RETURN WHEN THE PART WAS RECEIVED, APPROXIMATELY TWELVE TIME, I'VE BEEN TO THIS DEALER. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT TRYING TO WORK WITH DODGE, BUT I AM LOSING PATIENCE, AS WELL AS ANY CONFIDENCE IN CHRYSLERS STATEMENT 'WE'RE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE, BUT WE ARE SINCERELY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY' AS STATED IN THEIR NOTICE. EACH TIME THEY HAVE WORKED ON MY CAR, AND I FILL THE TANK, IT CONTINUES TO SPEW GAS ALL OVER ME, MY CAR, THE GROUND, UNTIL ONE DAY GIVEN THE SITUATION, GAS FUMES IGNITING AND STARTING A CRITICAL MISHAP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS, ON MY BEHALF. AFTER MY THIRD VISIT, I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 800-853-1403, WITH MY FRUSTRATIONS, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AND I NEEDED TO WORK WITH MY DEALER IN MT. AIRY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS LATEST VISIT, OCTOBER 19, 2009, WHERE THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED THE ENTIRE TANK, HAS LEFT ME WITH ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON IF FUEL IS BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK (WHICH HAS NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE) AND THE ODOMETER STATEMENT (WHERE THE NUMBERS ARE) READS 'GASCAP', EVEN THOUGH I REPLACE THE GAS CAP NO DIFFERENTLY THAN I HAVE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AS WELL AS ANYONE THAT HAPPENS TO BE AROUND ME AT THE TIME OF FILL-UP. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO AT THIS POINT. I AM SPEAKING WITH AN ATTORNEY, BUT DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO GO THIS ROUTE. YOUR PROMPT REPLY IS REQUESTED. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS NOW. IT HAS A PERSISTENT AND VERY UNSETTLING PROBLEM OF STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH NO CORRESPONDING WARNING LIGHTS ETC. IT JUST DIES AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAIL RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO PATTERN OF ORIGIN EVIDENT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC LANES ACROSS INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAVE UTILIZED FUEL CLEANERS AND CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS ETC. IN A EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT FORTUNATELY..JUST DIED WITHOUT WARNING. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ENGINE PROBLEM COMPLAINT WITH THE DURANGO. TODAY, THIS OCCURRED WITH OVER 3/4 TANK OF FRESH FUEL IN THE TANK. THIS PROBLEM CONSTITUTES AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INITIATES AN INVESTIGATION INTO IT'S CAUSE ( S ) - THANK YOU - RELATED WEBSITE LINK RE: COMMON PROBLEM - HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/2005/ENGINE/STALLING_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML . *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN#[XXX] BUILT 09/04 THAT WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK GASOLINE SPITS BACK BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THERE IS A CHRYSLER RECALL (E01 AND H45) AND MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE RECALL DATES. CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO DENY THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT HAS OFFERED A "GOOD WILL REPLACEMENT" WHICH COSTS ME $100 OUT OF MY POCKET. MY CHRYSLER CASE/REFERENCE # IS [XXX] . THE LOCAL DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE DEFECT WITH THE TANK WAS THE SAME AS THE RECALL. THE NHTSA ACTION # IS RQ08005. THERE IS A HIGH POTENTIAL OF FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND DEATH OR INJURY TO WHO EVER IS NEAR THE VEHICLE WHILE FUELING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AT THE CONCLUSION OF FILLING MY VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE FOLLOWING THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF, APPROXIMATELY 8 OUNCES OF GASOLINE SPEWS FROM THE FILL NOZZLE ONTO THE GROUND. THIS BEGAN OCCURRING 9 MONTHS AGO. PRIOR TO THAT TIME IT NEVER OCCURRED. I HAVE HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. THIS IS NOT IN INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCE. ONCE IT BEGAN EXHIBITING THIS BEHAVIOR, IT DOES IT CONSISTENTLY EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLE. THE CONTACT STATED WHENEVER SHE WOULD REFILL THE VEHICLE WOULD GASOLINE; THE FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER VALVE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO EXHIBIT AN ABNORMAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE GAS CAP, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND THE IDLE SENSORS BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V00300 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY) BUT WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, SHE WAS TOLD HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND STATED THEY WOULD ASSIST WITH PARTIAL REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,233.

SUMMARY: FUEL ESCAPES FROM VEHICLE AT THE END OF REFUELING. CONSEQUENCE: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. REMEDY REQUESTED: HAVE DEALER REPLACE THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE, AS IN THE RECALL OF THE SAME DESCRIPTION FOR OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS - NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID #09V003000, CHRYSLER RECALL #H45. PREVIOUSLY MADE A FEW ATTEMPTS TO GET CHRYSLER DEALER IN BURLINGTON, NJ TO EFFECT REPAIR, BUT CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER [XXX]CLAIMED HE COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I WAS NOT WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN HE ALLEGEDLY ATTEMPTED TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. [XXX] WAS UNTRUTHFUL WHEN I CONFRONTED HIM LAST YEAR ABOUT CHRYSLER CORPORATE KNOWING OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER. NO THAT I'VE FOUND THE NHTSA WEBSITE INFO AND THE H45 RECALL INFO, I MADE ANOTHER ATTEMPT: I CONTACTED CHRYSLER. CASE MANAGER "[XXX]ASSIGNED ME CASE #[XXX] ON APRIL 25, 2011, BUT TOLD ME ON APRIL 28, 2011 THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A COPAY FOR THE REPAIR. I OBJECTED TO A COPAY, AND TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTING NHTSA. THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT CONTACT. CAN YOU ASSIST ME? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN FUELING CAR IF ALLOWED TO FILL IT FULL FUEL SPILLS OUT BACK AT YOU EVERYTIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ADD FUEL TO THE FUEL TANK, HE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL BEGAN FLOWING OUT OF THE GAS TANK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE INLET CHECK VALVE. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 52,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER. A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FAILED. WHEN PLACING GASOLINE INTO THE TANK, FUEL ESCAPES FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. AS A CONSEQUENCE, FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 60,000.

GASOLINE SPEWING FROM THE GAS TANK OF MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE BURNS AND/OR SKIN REACTIONS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, NOT JUST A SELECT FEW ACCORDING TO THE VIN. *TR

EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL SPRAYS OR FLOWS FROM THE FUEL NECK. THIS IS A VEHICLE I JUST PURCHASED USED AND HAS DONE IT EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED IT. THE VEHICLE HAS NO EVIDENCE OF EVER BEING IN A COLLISION OR HAVING ANY DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE. LOOKING ONLINE I FOUND A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THE YEAR AND MODEL BUT MINE ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL DEALER IS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000. *TR

WE HAVE A DODGE DURANGO 2005 AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. WHEN DECELERATING TO STOP, THE CAR ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AFTER PUTTING IN PARK MODE AND TURNING THE IGNITION KEY AGAIN. *TR

NHTSA RECALL # 09V003000 / 2005 DODGE DURANGO / MY DODGE DURANGO HAS EXHIBITED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS VEHICLES COVERED UNDER RECALL # 05V-034. THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. I DISCOVERED THAT CHRYSLER HAD EXPANDED THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN 10/13 AND 11/30/2004. THE RECALL STATES THAT PROCESS MODIFICATIONS WERE IMPLEMENTED ON 11/24/04 TO ADDRESS THE SPIT BACK PROBLEM AND THEY BELIEVE THAT THE PROCESS CHANGES WOULD HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN ALL VEHICLES BUILT AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT AS OF 11/30/04. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED (01/05), UPON DISCOVERING IT DID NOT INCLUDE VEHICLES BUILT AFTER 11/04, I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM I WAS ENCOUNTERING. CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY, AFTER EXPLAINING THE ISSUE WITH THE FIRST LEVEL REPRESENTATIVE I WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE NEXT LEVEL (REF # 18546515). AFTER DISCUSSING THE ISSUE IN DEPTH SHE FINALLY AGREED TO HAVE MY LOCAL DEALER EVALUATE THE PROBLEM AND IF IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK/CHECK VALVE THAT CHRYSLER WOULD ASSIST IN PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. SHE STATED THAT IF THAT WAS THE ISSUE THE COST COULD BE CLOSE TO $1000 FOR THE REPAIR AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY $400. I INSISTED THAT IF IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS COVERED IN PREVIOUS RECALLS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR. THE DEALER'S INVOICE CLEARLY STATES THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE THE FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE WAS NOT CLOSING BACK. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS WERE EXACTLY THE SAME AS COVERED UNDER THE RECALLS. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, CHECK VALVE AND O-RING. MY PORTION OF THE REPAIR WAS $326. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY OUT OF POCKET THE REPAIR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. AS SOON AS THE CONTACT FILLS HIS TANK WITH FUEL, GASOLINE SPRAYS BACK ON HIM. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE ONLINE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.UPDATED 06/09/09. *LJ UPDATED 06/09/09.*JB

RELATED TO NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 09V003000, NHTSA RQ08005... MY DODGE DURANGO - EXACTLY SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED YET APPARENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. INTERNET SEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF OTHER DURANGO OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK GAS COMES POURING BACK OUT OF THE FILL TUBE ONCE THE TANK IF FULL. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THREE YEARS AGO I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALER, ABOUT GAS SPEWING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE WHEN I FILL THE TANK. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE IS WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY OF 2005 AND NOT A 2006 MODEL. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH 2004 AND 2005 DURANGOS AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO COVER THESE VEHICLES. HAVING GAS SPEW OUT OF MY TANK IS GOING TO CAUSE A FIRE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)*TT

VEHICLE STALLED OUT WHILE SLOWING AND TURNING INTO PARKING LOT, VEHICLE STALLED AFTER BACKING DOWN DRIVEWAY STOPPING AND STARTING TO PUT INTO DRIVE, VEHICLE STALLED WHILE PULLING TO A STOP IN A PARKING LOT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WENT OFF SEVERAL TIMES BY ITSELF AND THE LAST TIME BY HAVING AN ADVANCED AUTO WORKER PULL THE CODE AND CLEAR IT. THE CODE STATES THE PROBLEM IS A TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND OF COURSE IT IS JUST OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT NOW. THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I CALLED A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC TO SEE IF HE COULD FIX THE PROBLEM DUE TO NOT HAVING THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THE FRIEND HAS TOLD ME THAT DODGE HAS HAD A LOT OF THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS WITH THE DURANGO. MY VEHICLE HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, FUEL WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP EVEN WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. AS A RESULT, FUEL SPILLAGE OCCURS. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE A FIRE COULD OCCUR IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE. SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE COMPENSATION BECAUSE THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,300.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD "SPIT OUT" WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE FUEL TANK. THE ISSUE OCCURRED EVERY TIME SHE ATTEMPTED TO PLACE FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AND FILLER PIPE AT THE COST OF $815. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN APPROVED DEALER SO THAT THEY COULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR; HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING TO HER CALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,540 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,200.

I AM SENDING THIS IN DUE TO THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER HASN'T TRIED TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH ME. WE TRIED TO TALK TO THEM LAST APRIL ABOUT A ISSUE WITH MY GAS TANK AND IT NOT CLOSING LIKE IT SHOULD AND THAT IT WAS ON A RECALL AND WHEN THIS WAS PRESENTED TO THEM THEY PRETTY MUCH WANTED TO MAKE US HELP PAY FOR IT WHICH UPSET ME WHEN WE HAVE THE CLIP FROM THE PAPER ABOUT THE RECALL. IT IS TERRIBLE WHEN I GO TO THE GAS STATION AND I HAVE TO WATCH MY GAS TANK AND AM NERVOUS ABOUT IT SPRAYING ALL OVER ME WHICH IT HAS DONE TO ME. AND I AM SORRY BUT THAT IS NOT OKAY AND HOW WASTEFUL IS THAT AND THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR IT TO BE ON THE GROUND LIKE THATWHEN I START MY VEHICLE. AND LIKE MY HUSBAND IF THERE WOULD EVER BE A SPARK OR SOMEONE SMOKING THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR MY SITUATION. I COULD USE SOME HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER AT ALL ON CHRYSLERS PART. I HEARD CHRYSLER HAS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT TO ME THIS IS REALLY BAD. I KNOW THAT ALOT OF CAR FACTORIES ARE STRUGGLING BUT THIS IS NOT HOW TO DO GOOD BUSINESS AND I WILL NOT BUY ANYMORE VEHICLES FROM THEM IF THEY TREAT THERE CUSTOMERS POORLY AND UNFAIRLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND I FEEL THEY DO NOT CARE. *TR

THE SEATBELT BUCKLES IN THE 2ND ROW SEATS HAVE BROKEN. THE PLASTIC PART ON THE BUCKLES THAT MAKES THE BELT STAY TIGHT FOR A CAR SEAT HAS CRACKED ON ONE AND TOTALLY BROKEN OFF ON THE OTHER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY CHILD IN THE SEAT DUE TO THE BELT NOT TIGHTENING. THE DEALER ASSURED ME THAT THE BELT IS STILL SAFE FOR A CHILD THAT IS NOT IN A CARSEAT, BUT I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED YET DUE TO FUNDS BEING AVAILABLE WE JUST USE THE OTHER SEATS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. THEY SHOULD RECALL VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE SAFETY BELTS THAT HOLD UP TO DAILY USE. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED (HEMI) SPEWS ABOUT 1 QUART OF GAS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. DEALER SAYS MY VIN # ( MFG. DATE 3/05) IS NOT COVERED BY THEIR 1ST OR 2ND RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER CARE @ 1-800-853-1403 AND WAS TOLD ALTHOUGH I APPEAR TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM STARTED APPROX. APRIL 2009. I HAVE LEARNED TO STAND TO THE SIDE WHEN I FILL UP SO I DON'T GET DRENCHED WITH GASOLINE WHEN I FILL UP ! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE AND THE PUMP WOULD SHUT OFF, FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT OF THE FILLER TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHICH ADVISED THAT THE CHECK VALVE HAD FAILED AND ALLOWING THE FUEL TANK TO OVERFLOW. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF MY RPM ACCELERATING AND OVERDRIVE SHIFTING. I HAVE ALSO READ NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THE SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE PURCHASED A DODGE DURANGO AS WELL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PROBLEMS. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND I THINK THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CAR JERKING AND SHIFTING GOING 70MPH. I BELIEVE DODGE HAS A ERROR THAT THEY NEED TO OWN UP TO. PLEASE CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS MATTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE GAS TANK HE NOTICED THAT THE GAS WOULD SPILL BACK OUT. HE THOUGHT HE WAS ADDING MORE FUEL TO THE VEHICLE THAN IT NEEDED. SIX MONTHS LATER, HE NOTICED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THEY STATED THAT THE GAS TANK NECK COULD BE DEFECTIVE. HE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 09V003000 FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT HE COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR, AS LONG AS HE PAID THE DEDUCTIBLE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

FUEL LEAKAGE OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS HAPPENS FAIRLY OFTEN WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. NOTE THAT RECALL CAMPAIGNS 09V003000 AND 05V034000 DESCRIBE THIS ISSUE EXACTLY BUT CHRYSLER SAYS THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK IT SPEWS GAS OUT AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. NOW I KNOW THEIRS A RECALL ON THIS BUT CHRYSLER TELLS ME ITS NOT FOR MY VIN# [RECALL # WITH CHRYSLER IS H45] I WANT TO KNOW WHY IT ISN'T COVERED FOR MY VEHICLE? AND ITS TO THE POINT THAT WHERE THE GAS HAS SPILLED ON THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE ITS DAMAGED THE PAINT! *TR

PERTAINING TO THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO: WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, IT JUST SHUTS OFF, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU LOOSE POWERSTEERING, WHICH PUTS YOU IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'M NOT SURE IF ITS ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL RELATED. I HAVE VISITED A FEW RECALL SITES AND VARIOUS PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT FOR MANY THINGS TO INCLUDE SPARK PLUGS. I THINK IT MAY BE THE ELECTRIC CONTROL MODULE, BUT THAT'S JUST AN OPINION. I FEEL THIS SITUATION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY DODGE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO, FUEL SPEWS FROM GAS TANK EVERYTIMEI FILL UP, AND IT JUST DIES INTERMITTENTLY,IT ALSO STUTTERS AS THOUGH IT HAS BAD GAS WHEN TRAVELING AT A SLOWER RATE OF SPEED. I CALLED DODGE ON THE RECALL BUT OF COURSE MINE IS NOT INCLUDED, THEY SAID HAD TO HAVE PROOF, SO I PLAN TO TAKE A VIDEO NEXT TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FILLER INLET VALVE WOULD NOT STOP FUEL FROM FLOWING INTO THE FUEL TANK WHEN REFUELING. THE FAILURE WOULD CAUSE GASOLINE FUEL TO BE SPILLED OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE GROUND OR THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,000. UPDATED 06/01/12

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IS SPILLING FUEL FROM THE FILLER NECK UPON FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY DURANGO IS NOT INVOLVED WITH A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE USING MY VIN#. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNFAIR. MY DURANGO HAS A MANF DATE OF 10/04. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE NEEDS TO FIX REGARDLESS IF AFFECTED TANK RELIEF VALVE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AT A CERTAIN DATE. DODGE NEEDS TO EXPAND THE MANF DATES FOR THESE RECALLS AFFECTING THE TANK RELIEF VALVE ISSUE. IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX AN ISSUE SUCH AS THIS DUE TO THE SAFETY, FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS THAT OCCUR EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I RECENTLY TOOK TO A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AS I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN PUMPING. FUEL SPILLS EVERYWHERE, ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THE PUMPS. AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS WELL AS FIRE SAFETY, THE DEALER RECOMMENDED I GET THE GAS TANK REPLACED. THEY REPORT NEVER HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH DURANGOS. I WENT HOME AND RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND A RECALL FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGOS AND FOUND A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THE RECALL IS FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM 10/13/2004-11/30/2004. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON 12/1/2004, ONE DAY AFTER THE CUT OFF FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED THE COMPANY AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS A SPARK COULD IGNITE THE FUEL SPILLED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND, AND THEY REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. *TR

THE GAS FILLER PIPE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SINCE IT WAS NEW. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, BUT THE FUEL WASHES BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS FIXED IN A RECALL PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE IN 2005 ACCORDING TO THEIR "COMPUTER RECORDS". OBVIOUSLY, FROM MY EXPERIENCE IN FILLING THE TANK, THE "RECALL FIX" DID NOT WORK--OR, WORSE, THE DEALER DID NOT DO THE FIX AS THEY CLAIMED. SPILLING GASOLINE IS DANGEROUS--DODGE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THIS REPAIR WORK, EVEN IF IT TAKES ANOTHER RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLAGE FROM THE FUEL TANK. WHENEVER THE CONTACT DISPENSED FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK, FUEL SPRAYED OUT OF THE TANK. THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPPED WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL WITH FUEL CONTINUOUSLY SPRAYING OUT OF THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

MY DODGE 2005 SLT, 4.8L (74,000 MILES) HAS CONTINUED TO STALL AT STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL THINGS DONE(SPARK PLUGS, FUEL ADDITIVES, PREMIUM GAS, FUEL FILTER) TO THE CAR, BUT STILL CONTINUES. I AM UPSET TO SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT THIS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNERS IN THE SAME SITUATION WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IN ADDITION, SHE MENTIONED THAT ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION THE FOUR WHEEL SERVICE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED AND ALL FOR TIRES SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE HAD AN INTERNAL SHORT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,759.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (GETTEL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 2323 TAMIAMI TRAIL, PUNTA GORDA, FL 33950, (941) 347-6706) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

2005 DODGE DURANGO A LOW FUEL ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE TROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK LEAKED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TOP OFF THE FUEL TANK.
