2005 Dodge Durango Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT FROM THE FUEL TANK ONTO THE GROUND DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY) BUT THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT THEN PLACED THE VEHICLE AND NEUTRAL AND SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTED IT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF WORK WHEN MY CAR STALLED AFTER I STOPPED AND MADE A LEFT HAND TURN ... IMMEDIATELY UPON TURNING, MY CAR STALLED & WOULD NOT START UP. I TRIED TO START THE CAR FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BECAUSE THIS EVENT HAPPEN A PRIOR TIME & STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. I HAD TO PUSH MY CAR BY MYSELF OUT OF THE ROAD (2005 DODGE DURANGO HEMI V8) WHICH IS RATHER HEAVY AND IT WAS A VERY HOT DAY. AFTER PUSHING MY CAR TO THE PARKING LOT AGAIN, IT STARTED. MY CAR STALLED AGAIN AFTER I WAS LEAVING WORK AT A STOP SIGN 1 BLOCK AWAY BUT STARTED IN ABOUT 2 MINUTES. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS, GASOLINE SPURTS OUT THE TANK WHEN IT IS FULL. THERE IS A RECALL, BUT THE DEALER SAYS OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. HOW IS OUR CAR NOT COVERED ALSO? IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR, SINCE THE CAR HAD ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. FROM THE RECALL, IT IS THE "FUEL TANK FILLER INLET CHECK VALVE". *TR

I HAVE A FUEL SPIT BACK PROBLEM W/ MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT WAS MANUFACTURED 05/05. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS LISTED AS A RECALL ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL YEAR VEHICLE THAT WAS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO MINE. WHEN FILLING THE TANK, GAS WILL BLOW BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WITH SUBSTANTIAL FORCE. GASOLINE IS SPEED OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS COVERED IN GASOLINE. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO ASK ABOUT THE ISSUE AFTER READING THE RECALL FOR THE EARLIER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES. THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE TO ADVISED THAT IT WAS VERY POSSIBLE THAT MY VEHICLE, BEING BUILT LATE IN THE MODEL YEAR, MAY HAVE HAD THE FAULTY VALVE INSTALLED DURING ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES MAY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THE OWNER'S LIKE MYSELF, CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT. I FEEL THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER THE SPECIFIED DATES IN 09V003000. OTHER THAN SKIN DISCOMFORT, I WAS NOT INJURED. THIS INCIDENT OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IF FILLED! *TR

1-2 POSSIBLE CONCERNS- #1- (5.7 V.8 ENGINE ISSUE) AS MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED THE VEHICLE STALLS AND QUITS ON SUDDEN STOPS, AND WHEN MAKING TURN. AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF - IT CAN BE RESTARTED - BUT NO ENGINE CODE IS GENERATED. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC CAUSE, BUT CITES NUMEROUS THINGS THAT IT CAN BE - WANTING ME TO SPEND $$ TO INVESTIGATE EACH ONE AND REPLACE PARTS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE DURANGO AND ENGINE STALL. THE ISSUE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLICATE - EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN OR SO TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. ON SEVERAL OF THIS OCCASIONS I (AND MY FAMILY OF 5) HAVE BEEN PLACED IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE DUE TO A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL. THIS ISSUE MAY BE RELATED TO THE NEXT COMPLAINT. IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT THIS ON MANY OCCASIONS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER A FILL UP. AND - EVEN THOUGH MY VIN WAS RECALLED IN 2005 AND FIXED - GAS STILL SPRAYS OUT THE FUEL FILLER AND ANY GAS STATION WHEN YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP FULLY. TO GET AROUND THIS - MY VEHICLE CANNOT BE FILLED ALL THE WAY UP. THIS ISSUE IS EASY TO DUPLICATE - BUT MY DEALER STATES THAT THE WORK DONE IN 2005 SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS AND THAT ANY OTHER ISSUE ARE NOT A WARRANTY/RECALL ISSUES. AGAIN - THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $$ TO TEST AND TRY TO FIND AN ANSWER SINCE ACCORDING TO THEM THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK TO FULL CAPACITY, THE FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WOULD MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A SECOND DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. UPDATED 12/16/11 *BF UPDATED 12/23/11

BOUGHT 2005 DURANGO 12/05-NEEDED SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SERVICES---DEALER STATED LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON (9/06), STALLING 3/07, AT LEAST 5 TIMES-LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID BLAMED, STALLING 2/08--4 TIMES IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS, AGAIN BLAMED LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL LEAK IN 3/07, NOW REAR GEAR SHOT WITH A $900+ PRICE TAG AND THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY 3 YEARS/36,000. (NEWS TO ME--IN 2005 THEY WERE ADVERTISING 7 YEARS-70,000 ON DRIVE TRAIN). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAME APART AND IS CURRENTLY VERY LOOSE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,500. UPDATED 07/09/08 *BF A PIN POPPED OUT OF THE GAS PEDAL. UPDATED

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND IT KEEPS STALLING AND SHUT DOWN. EVERYTIME I SLOW DOWN AND GO INTO REVERSE THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE RPM GOES CRAZY, SOMETIMES, THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE DEALERSHIP HAS YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY HAVE FIXED SO MANY SENSORS THEY CAN'T GET IT RIGHT. CAR KEEPS STALLING EITHER WAY. I NEED A SOLUTION. THIS IS A DEADLY SITUATION WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SUV HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN IN RAINY OR WET CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME IN NOVEMBER 2007 ON REGULAR SURFACE STREETS WHILE IT WAS RAINING AND MY WIFE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO RE-START IT FOR OVER 2 MINUTES IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE SECOND TIME ON OR ABOUT 3/11/08 MY WIFE WAS TURNING RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION IN RAINY CONDITIONS AND THE ENGINE STALLED MID TURN AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO RE-START THE ENGINE FOR OVER 2 MINUTES IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE THIRD TIME OCCURRED 5/6/08 ON REGULAR SURFACE STREETS DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD IN RAINY CONDITIONS AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RE-STARTED FOR AT LEAST 2 MINUTES. ALL 3 OCCURRENCES INVOLVED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE CONTROLS WHILE OUR CHILDREN WERE PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO ALLAN SAMUELS DODGE IN ALLIANCE TEXAS AFTER THE 2ND INCIDENT FOR WARRANTY COVERED DIAGNOSIS AND THEY INFORMED ME AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT FOR A FULL DAY THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AFTER THE 3RD INCIDENT AND AFTER HAVING IT FOR 2 FULL DAYS THEY ARE STILL ADVISING ME THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND ARE NOT RECOMMENDING ANY COURSE OF ACTION TO CORRECT IT. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED ON THE VEHICLE TO MY KNOWLEDGE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE RECEIPTS GIVEN TO ME. I BELIEVE THEY ARE SIMPLY HOOKING UP THE ECM SCANNER AND LOOKING FOR FAILURE CODES, OF WHICH BOTH TIMES I TOOK IT IN I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NONE PRESENT. IN MY OPINION RIGHT NOW, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND MY WIFE AND CHILDREN INSIDE OF IT. *TR

MY 05 DODGE DURANGO IS SURGING REAL BAD WHILE AT A STOPPED POSITION. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES OF SURGING IT WILL SHUT ITSELF OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS PUT IT INTO THE SHOP 3 TIMES. THE BODYSHOP TOLD ME THEY CLEANED OUT SOMETHING AND THAT SHOULD FIX IT BUT IT DIDN'T. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AGAIN AND I JUST BOUGHT IT ON MAY 1ST 2008. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO CHECK VALVE ON THE FUEL TANK FILLER. THEREFORE, IF THERE IS A FUEL LEAK IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, IT COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY $600 FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 84,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT HAS EXPERIENCED FAILURES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM IN HER VEHICLE SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. WHEN FILLING HER VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, SHE NOTICED THAT A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL COMES BACK OUT OF THE GAS TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND INSPECTED BY A TECHNICIAN, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WAS FAILING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST WOULD BE A $200 DEDUCTIBLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP) AND 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT BECAUSE HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS, NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

I PURCHASED MY DURANGO IN FEB. 08 AND THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER. I WAS TAKING MY 3 CHILDREN TO SCHOOL MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT WHEN I SUDDENLY COULD NOT HARDLY TURN MY STEERING WHEEL , I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND REALIZED THAT MY ENGINE HAD STALLED. THEN I RESTARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY. I CALLED THE CAR DEALERSHIP TO REPORT IT. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I TOOK IT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE BREAKS WORKED ON AND MENTIONED THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND THEY SAID WITHOUT AN ENGINE LIGHT ON THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER MY BREAK WORK WAS COMPLETED I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP TO GO HOME AND ON MY WAY UP A HILL BEHIND A SEMI TRUCK GOING SLOW ABOUT 15 MPH MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A VAN. I TURNED AROUND TO HEAD BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT THE DASH LIGHT BEING ON. SO I PRECEDED TO GO HOME. ABOUT A WEEK OR SO LATER AGAIN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN. HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN 180 MILES ROUND TRIP. I SPENT 6 HOURS WAITING FOR THEM TO FIX IT AND THEY COULD NOT SO THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY AND ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD MY ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON AND MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SHOW THEM KNOW THE LIGHT IS ON. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I RETURNED HOME. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN SOLVED BUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER I HAD MY THREE CHILDREN IN THE DURANGO AND I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY ON TO A SIDE STREET WHEN IT STALLED AS ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING AT ME AND I ALMOST GOT HIT . I KNOW DO NOT LET MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE. AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND CANNOT HELP ME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO COME OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO EXISTING RECALLS AND HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

MANIFOLD BOLT BROKE ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. EXHAUST SMELL IN VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE GAS PUMP WILL STOP PUMPING, WITHIN SECONDS NEARLY A GALLON OF GAS WILL POUR OUT OF THE TANK. THE GAS NOT ONLY COVERS THE VEHICLE BUT HAS SPRAYED ME NEARLY HITTING MY EYES. THE GAS POURED ALL OVER THE GROUNDS OF THE GAS STATION REQUIRING ME TO REPORT IT TO THE CLERK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DECIDE TO FILL MY TANK. IT HAS GOTTEN TO A POINT IN WHICH I FEAR TO FILL MY TANK. I RESEARCHED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE WHICH I DID FIND. AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT APPLY TO THIS RECALL AND THEY WERE NOT LIABLE UNTIL MORE VEHICLES WERE REPORTED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RELEASE. AS OF APRIL 7, 2008, THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 69,000. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNAVAILABLE.

2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH 5.7 HEMI ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. DOES NOT THROW A CODE SO THE DEALER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. MOST TIMES IT WILL RE-START BUT SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE RESTARTING. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS MORE THAN ONCE A DAY, SOMETIMES A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK....NEED HELP TO GET DODGE/CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. BOUGHT NEW IN 2005 AND DIDN'T START HAVING TROUBLE UNTIL 2008. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED W/ HEMI. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED W/ 26,000 MILES ON IT A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS W/ IT: BROKEN REMOTE KEYS-THE REMOTE LOCKING DEVICES ON BOTH KEYS ARE NOW DYSFUNCTIONAL DUE TO THE SOLDER THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY IN PLACE BREAKING. I CANNOT LOCK/UNLOCK VEHICLE FROM OUTSIDE AND WHEN IT IS LOCKED FROM INSIDE PRIOR TO EXITING, UPON RE-ENTRY, THE ALARM SOUNDS UNTIL KEY IS PUT INTO IGNITION AND VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THESE KEYS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!! WINDOWS SHAKING WHILE ROLLED DOWN-ANYTIME ANY OF THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN THEY SHAKE VIOLENTLY W/ IN THEIR CASING. THERE IS ALSO QUITE A BIT OF WIND NOISE HEARD WHEN WINDOWS ARE ROLLED UP COMPLETELY. HAD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. NAVIGATION SYSTEM-THE MAIN KNOB HAS BECOME ALMOST DYSFUNCTIONAL. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS STICKING OUT FARTHER THAN IT ONCE HAD. WITH OUT USE OF THIS KNOB, THE ENTIRE NAV SYSTEM IS VIRTUALLY UNUSABLE. SEATBELT COVER-DRIVERS SIDE PLASTIC DUST COVER WHERE SEATBELT GOES INTO SEAT CAME OFF AND THE PLASTIC AROUND IT HAS A CRACK IN IT. THERE IS QUITE ALOT OF DUST BUILDING UP INSIDE THE SEATBELT MECHANISM. LIFTGATE SCREWS FALLING OUT-THIS HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN TIMES REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES THEY ARE TIGHTENED. IT IS THE SCREWS THAT HOLD THE PLASTIC ON THE INSIDE OF THE LIFTGATE-WHERE THE CLOSING HANDLES ARE LOCATED. BROKEN PIN ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL-DEALER CALLING THIS A "PUSH NUT PIN" AND IT IS WHAT ATTACHES THE ACCELERATOR TO THE ARM. DEALERSHIP CERTAIN IT IS A PART MALFUNCTION HOWEVER CHRYSLER REFUSING TO REPAIR. UNDERSIDE STEERING WHEEL RADIO CONTROL-THE LEFT BUTTON THAT CHANGES THE PRE-SET RADIO STATIONS AS WELL AS WHICH DISK IS PLAYING IN THE CD CHANGER IS STICKING. IF YOU JUST BARELY TOUCH IT THE STATIONS/CD'S CHANGE CONTINUOUSLY. IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP, YOU MUST DEPRESS IT VERY HARD WHILE MOVING IT BACK AND FORTH. *TR

MODERATE TO SEVERE PULSATION AND VIBRATION UNDER NORMAL BREAKING, DUE TO WARPING OF DEFECTIVE ROTORS AND CALIPERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND REMOVING THE FUEL NOZZLE, FUEL SHOOTS BACK AT THE CONTACT, COVERING HER IN GASOLINE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS ON MARCH 11, 2008, WHICH IS ALSO THE PURCHASE DATE. THERE HAD BEEN NO FURTHER OCCURRENCES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,215 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,586.

THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AT LOW SPEEDS. SO WHEN YOU ARE AT A STOP LIGHT OR SLOW DOWN TO TURN OR ARE IN A PARKING LOT, IT STALLS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU CAN'T STEER BECAUSE THAT ONLY WORKS WITH THE CAR RUNNING. THIS STARTED RIGHT AFTER THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY WAS OVER AND HAS CONTINUED THROUGH TODAY. THEY ALSO DIDN'T FIX THE RECALL ITEM AND I HAVE FUEL SPILLS EVERY TIME I SET THE NOZZLE ON AUTOMATIC AND IT IS SUPPOSED TO SHUT OFF. IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF BECAUSE THE GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. NOW I HAVE A SPOT UNDER THE FUEL FILL THAT WAS EATEN AWAY BY GAS AND IT IS NOW RUSTY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE ACCELERATION LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V020000 WAS REFERENCED FOR THE 2004 MODEL AS HAVING THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,980 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,970.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL BEGAN TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FUEL FILLER NECK WHILE THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED TO CAPACITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHENEVER THE CONTACT FILLS THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. THE GAS NOZZLE STOPS WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL, BUT GASOLINE STILL SPRAYED OUT OF THE TANK. THROUGH RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST. DODGE STATED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO HIS VIN DUE TO THE MANUFACTURED DATE. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT IF HE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000. UPDATED 09/16/08 *BF UPDATED 09/22/08. *JB

UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE SHUT OFF VALVE DOES NOT CLOSE WHEN TANK IS FULL THUS SPILLING FUEL DOWN THE SIDE OF VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. CHECKED RECALL DATABASE AND THERE IS A RECALL (NHTSA ACTION # RQ08005) SO I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT BUILT IN THE PLANTS IN QUESTION WITH THE RECALL SO THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT REPLACING MY GAS TANK OR FILLER NECK, BUT ONCE A WEEK WHEN I FUEL THE VEHICLE GASOLINE SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE ONTO THE GROUND AND I'M CONCERNED THAT IT WILL IGNITE. *TR

I WAS CONTACTED BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER, STATING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL, AND TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR DEALER. I SCHEDULED THE APPOINT FOR THE RECALL AND FOR ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE. I INVESTIGATED THE RECALLS, AND FOUND 2: A POTENTIAL INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILURE, AND A PROBLEM WITH FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE INLET DURING REFUELING. I SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT, AND OFF THE DURANGO ON 2-26-08. THE NEXT DAY, MIKE (FROM OUR DEALER) CALLED AND SAID THAT THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. HE STATED THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER SOMETIMES MADE MISTAKES LIKE THIS WITH RECALLS. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE ONLY RECALL THE DURANGO WAS ELIGIBLE FOR WAS FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE THE RECALL FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE INLET VALVE DID NOT APPLY TO VEHICLES MADE AFTER 10-12-2004 - OURS WAS MADE 10-15-05. I EXPLAINED TO MIKE THAT THE DURANGO HAD THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT WAS THE SUBJECT OF THE RECALL. JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, MY WIFE WAS DOUSED WITH GAS AS SHE FILLED THE DURANGO - GAS ESCAPES FREQUENTLY WHEN FILLING UP. MIKE SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO, EXCEPT PERFORM THE REPAIR - THE EXACT SAME THING THE RECALL WAS FOR, BUT AT MY EXPENSE, AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLER CHYRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER TWICE AFTER I FOUND DOCUMENTATION ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, FROM DAIMLERCHRYSLER TO NHTSA, STATING THAT ALL DURANGOS FROM VIN 5F500001 TO 5F535219 WOULD BE RECALLED. THE VIN ON MY DURANGO IS 5F529730 - WELL WITHIN THE RECALL RANGE. THE LETTER I FOUND ON NHTSA'S WEBSITE (DATED 3-18-2005) FROM STEPHAN J SPETH (DIRECTOR, VEHICLE COMPLIANCE) TO MS. KATHLEEN C. DEMETER (ACTING ASSOCIATE ADMINISTRATOR, SAFETY ASSURANCE) AT NHTSA, INDICATING A "DATE RANGE" FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES. DAIMLER CHRYLSER ASSIGNED A REFERENCE NUMBER (17265274), BUT STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO PERFORM THE RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V-034. *TR

OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH 5.7 LITER HEMI HAS STALLED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASE. USUALLY STALLS DURING AT SLOW SPEEDS, OR WHILE TURNING. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS. HAD TAKEN TO DEALER, AFTER $1,000 OF TUNE UPS, ETC. NO IMPROVEMENT, STILL STALLS. VERY UNSAFE! *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 W/HEMI THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WHEN TURNING OR WHEN AT A STOP OR SLOW IDLE. LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS AT ANY GAS STATION, AND THE TANK IS FULL, THE AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF DOESN'T CLOSE IN TIME IN THE GAS TANK CAUSING GASOLINE TO SPEW/SPRAY OUT OF THE GAS TANK NOZZLE DOUSING ME, MY VEHICLE, AND CREATING A POOL OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK NOZZLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. WHEN I DID RESEARCH, I REALIZED THAT DODGE HAD A RECALL ON MY YEAR MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO GET IT FIXED ON 02/11/08, DODGE ADVISED ME THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, MY VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED BECAUSE MY VIN DIDN'T FALL UNDER THAT RECALL. DODGE HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD UNLESS I PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I WAS QUOTED BY BANKSTON DODGE OF FRISCO, TX THAT IT WOULD COST $717.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF DUE TO THE RECALL THEY HAVE ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM ON THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL CHECK VALVE PROBLEM. GAS COMES BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE. I'VE BEEN DRENCHED WITH GAS MANY TIMES, LUCKY THERE WAS NO STATIC DISCHARGE IN THE AREA! I WAS HIT THE EYE WITH FUEL ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS ONE RECALL AND AN EXTENSION OF THAT RECALL BUT REFUSES TO WARRANTY MY VEHICLE STATING THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT EFFECTED! OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER VEHICLES COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN I'M EVEN MORE CONCERNED. THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM ALSO AGREES THIS IS THE SAME DEFECT AS THE OTHER DURANGOS COVERED BY THE RECALL. CHRYSLER IS JUST IGNORING THE FACT THAT MORE VEHICLE ARE EFFECT BECAUSE THE INITIAL INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED BUT DOES NEED TO RE-OPEN, IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE! THE DATE BELOW IS NOT CORRECT, THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR WELL OVER A YEAR BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL WIRES. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SEVERAL SPARK PLUGS, AND COIL WIRES. AS OF JANUARY 30, 2009, ALL OF THE REMEDIES HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT IN CORRECTING THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING UNDER 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED MINUTES LATER. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS UNABLE TO DETECT ANY FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR FUTURE DIAGNOSTICS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 36,000 MILE FACTORY WARRANTY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING UNDER LIGHT SNOW LOAD. DEALER REPLACED WIPER ASSEMBLY AT OUR EXPENSE. *TR

FUEL SPIT-BACK DURING REFUELING: WHEN FILLING UP VEHICLE, GAS BACKFLOWS OUT OF GAS TANK AT THE END OF FUELING. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THERE IS A RECALL ON DURANGO OF SAME YEAR AND VINTAGE, BUT MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR DESIGN FLAW. *TR

TWO DAYS IN A ROW NOW MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS STALLED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE. I AM APPALLED THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD BE FATAL. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS AND DOES NOT SHUT GAS PUMP OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. EVERYTIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK UP, GAS SPEWS OUT VIOLENTLY ALL OVER THE GROUND AND ONTO THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. SEEMS PRETTY DANGEROUS TO ME. GAS TANK RECALL IS PARTIALLY IN EFFECT FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS BUT NOT ALL.

STALLS WHILE DRIVING SINCE WE BOUGHT IT,FAN MOTOR FOR HEAT NEEDS SAME PART REPLACED EVER 3 MONTH TO YEAR,LOUD TICKING,BAD ENGINE,ONLY 86,000 MILES. *TR

CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT: REFER: MANIFOLD GASKET RO# 426595 - STOCK NUMBER 2885312 ODOMETER READING AT TIME OF SERVICE 39,305 MILES NOTICE OF THE DEFECTS IN MY (2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 4D SPORT UTILITY 4.7 BRIGHT SILVER), VIN #[XXX] THE PROBLEMS (S) THAT I HAVE CURRENTLY WITH MY VEHICLE ARE AS FOLLOW: MANIFOLD GASKET CRACKED TERRIBLE "TICKING" COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION THE CAR IS CONSTANTLY CUTTING OFF AND STALLING OUT THE CAR STRUGGLING JUST TO STAY ON THE CAR NOW HAS A VERY LITTLE POWER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF AFTER A DAY OR TWO LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID THE MANIFOLD GASKET CRACKING BEGAN ALL EXISTING PROBLEMS THAT I'M CURRENTLY HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE. AFTER INTESTINE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS KIND OF A PROBLEM SHOULD ONLY OCCUR IN OLDER VEHICLES WITH OVER 75 THOUSAND MILES OR MORE; NOT IN A NEW MODEL VEHICLE SUCH AS MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH LESS THAN 35 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. THE DEFECTS IN MY VEHICLE REMAIN EVEN AFTER THE DEALERS REPEATED REPAIR ATTEMPTS. THEY GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME CLAIMING THE PROBLEMS WERE FIXED, BUT GUESS WHAT?? THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING BUT WORSE. MY CAR ISN'T FIT FOR ANY TYPE OF ROAD TRIPS DUE TO ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I'M IN FEAR EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. I'M VERY DISSATISFIED THAT A COMPANY AS LARGE AS CARMAX / DAIMLER CHRYSLER WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SINGLE MOTHER WITH A CHILD IN THIS DAY IN TIME WHEN GAS IS $5.00 A GALLON, TIMES ARE TO HARD AND I CAN NOT AFFORD THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE READ ON INTERNET, THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER/CARMAX, WILL DO EVERYTHING IT CAN TO AVOID DOING THE RIGHT THING, ALSO I READ THAT CHRYSLER PRESSURES DEALERS TO KEEP WARRANTY COSTS TO A MINIMUM, EVEN FOR KNOWN PROBLEMS AND DEFECTS. CHRYSLER WILL DO EVERYTHING IT CAN TO AVOID COVERING COMMON PROBLEMS UNDER WARRANTY WHENEVER POSSIBLE BY BLAMING CONSUMERS; INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THERE WAS NO INCIDENT THAT LED TO THIS HAPPENING. IT SEEMED TO BEGIN FOR NO REASON. WHENEVER I FILL MY GAS TANK, IF I DO NOT STOP THE PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL, IT OVERFLOWS. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME I FILL THE TANK FULL. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPILLS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. DODGE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON 26,000 OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS, BUT REFUSES TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THIS RECALL #05V-034. I HAVE NO REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK AND WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE FUEL FILLER NOZZLE CLICKS OFF BUT THEN GASOLINE OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK AND USUALLY SPRAYS INTO THE AIR. THIS HAPPENS 99% OF EVER REFUELING TRIP TO A GAS STATION. THE GAS USUALLY SPRAYS OUT AND GETS ALL OVER THE PERSON REFUELING. I HAD THE DODGE DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX IT. THE DODGE DEALER WANTS APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED TOOK TWENTY MINUTES TO FILL THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL CONTINUED TO SPILL BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER TUBE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE TYPE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY 2005 5.7L DODGE DURANGO SLT HAS STALLED APPROX. 5 TIMES SINCE MY PURCHASE IN 2005. EACH TIME VARIED IN DRIVING, I.E., A FEW TIMES OCCURRED DURING DECREASED SPEEDS IN TURNS, OTHERS DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65+). EACH TIME, ALL CONTROLS, I.E. STEERING, ELECTRONICS, CEASED FUNCTIONING WITHOUT WARNING. NO ACCIDENTS YET BUT ANTICIPATE THIS WILL OCCUR AS CLOSE CALLS EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND PUT INTO PARK, THEN RESTARTED WITHOUT PROBLEM. OUR DURANGO COMPUTER HAS BEEN FLASHED PREVIOUSLY BUT STALLING STILL OCCURRED.*CN

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. I HIT THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATED. I STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN. I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON TO THE OVERPASS OVER THE INTERSTATE. I WAS DOING ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN I FELT THE THROTTLE COME OUT FROM UNDER MY FOOT. I HIT THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IT KEEP ACCELERATING. I HIT IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT FINELY WENT OFF AFTER A FEW TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAD ACCELERATED TO ALMOST 35 MPH. WHEN IT WENT OFF THE MOTOR STARTED MAKING THIS HORRIBLE NOISE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN CONNECTING ROD OR IT DROPPED A VALVE. THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT HAPPENED ON THE FRIDAY DEC. 28TH. THIS IS SUNDAY THE 30TH. HAVENT HAD A CHANCE TO LET ANYONE LOOK AT IT. I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO DO THE WORK MYSELF. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE CARPET MAT HOOK BROKEN, AND MANUFACTURER (DODGE) DOESN'T HAVE REPLACEMENTS. THIS CAUSES MAT TO GET UNDER PEDALS.*CN

GAS TANK SPURTS GAS AT ME WHEN FILLING AS TANK IS FULL JUST BEFORE THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, GAS SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 1 YEAR. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS THE SAME AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V034000 HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHEREIN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER NECK. CONSEQUENCE: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. DODGE HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAY THAT THE QUALIFYING VEHICLES WERE BUILT BEFORE 10/12/2004 AND THAT MINE WAS BUILT AFTER THAT DATE. I MAINTAIN THAT THEY EITHER USED THE SAME BAD PART IN MY VEHICLE OR DID NOT PROPERLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM FACED WITH A $600 REPAIR BILL FOR A DESIGN/PART FLAW THAT THEY DID NOT CORRECT AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT, 5.7L V8 STALLS WHEN BRAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE MAY 2007. THE DEALER HAS CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, REPLACED THE BATTERY AS THEY SAID IT WAS LOOSING VOLTAGE AND FLUSHED THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. AS WE DROVE IT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AFTER IT WAS "FIXED" IT DID THE SAME THING, YET THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY HAVE IT. *TR
