BOUGHT CAR IN 2007 HAD TO REPLACE ONE KEY BECAUSE OF ELECTRONICS AT 180 DOLLARS EACH, 2009 CHANGED CAR BATTERY HAD TO RESET KEYS AT 80 DOLLARS, 2011 KEYS NEED REPLACED AGAIN AT 130 DOLLARS EACH. BAD DESIGN SO THEY CAN KEEP FLEASING YOU FOR MONEY. ALSO HAD FUEL TANK REPLACED, BRAKE LINES RUBBED TOGETHER CAUSING HOLE IN LINE AND LOSS OF BRAKES, DUST COVER ON DRIVERS SEAT BELT BROKE OFF, SCREWS IN BACK TAIL GATE KEEP LOOSENING AND FALLING OUT. *TR
ADD ONE MORE COMPLAINT TO THE OTHERS ABOUT GAS SPEWING OUT WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL, ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AFTER TALKING TO ANOTHER DURANGO OWNER. I HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE BUT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH THE DURANGO. I WILL BE CONTACTING OUR DEALER (AND OTHERS IF NEEDED) TO SEE IF WE QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. HAVE HELD OFF TAKING IT FOR REPAIR AFTER HAVING TO PAY $800 ON A LOCKED UP STEERING WHEEL ON A 3 YR OLD VEHICLE. AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE $300 KEYS THAT STOP WORKING DUE TO A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW. *TR

UPON FUELING MY VEHICLE UP ON A REGULAR BASIS; THE FUEL PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AT TIME OF FILL UP, BUT THEN A BACKLASH OF FUEL OCCURS TO BE BACKING UP IN THE FUEL PIPE AND SPRAYING/GUSHING OUT ALL OVER MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS AND PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE. WHY HASN'T ANYONE REALIZED THAT THIS IS MOST DANGEROUS AND "ALL VEHICLES" CLAIMING TO THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER, SIMPLY A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND THUS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CORP. RECALL INFO # IS 09V003000 PLEASE RESPOND AND KINDLY INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION AND ADVISE ME OF MY NEXT STEP WITH LOCAL DEALER. *TR
I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL THE GAS WILL COME POURING BACK OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT. I HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE CLEANED THE FILTER BUT FILLED IT AGAIN TODAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAD MY VIN CHECKED BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN DODGES RECALL. THE DODGE DEALER QUOTED JUST UNDER $1,000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

DODGE DURANGO FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE - SAFETY RECALL: I OWN A 2005MY DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS HAD ISSUES WITH FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER FILLING AT A GAS STATION. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED, RESULTING IN 1-2 SECONDS BACKFLOW OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR ONTO MY HANDS. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, WHO WORKS AT CHRYSLER, OWNS A 2008 MY DURANGO WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE INFORMATION ON CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL H45 AND E01 THAT SEEM TO BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION, THEY DID NOTHING AND CLAIMED THERE WAS NO RECALL AVAILABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDED ME WITH AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK (~$900). I WOULD LIKE MY ISSUE INCLUDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE OTHER RELATED SAFETY RECALLS. PLEASE CONTACT ME. *TR
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE TANK. SOMETIMES THE PUMP WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, OTHER TIMES IT REQUIRES MANUAL ASSISTANCE. ACCORDING TO WWW.MOTORTREND.COM, THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM - ONE IN 2005 AND THE OTHER IN 2009. WHEN CALLING DODGE, THEY STATE THAT THOSE RECALLS MAY HAVE BEEN "VIN SPECIFIC" AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS IN THE SYSTEM FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR
GAS HAS STARTED OVERFLOWING/SPRAYING OUT WHEN FILLING UP. PUMP STOPS AND SECONDS LATER IT HAPPENS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT SPRAYED SOME FUEL ON ONE OF MY BOYS WHO WAS STANDING BY ME. THANKFULLY, IT DIDN'T GET IN HIS EYE. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP BUT SINCE REALIZED ITS THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE AND I HAVE SEEN THE TWO RECALLS ON THIS DUE TO THE TANKS INLET CHECK VALVES NOT SHUTTING PROPERLY. THE RECALLS COVER VEHICLES MADE THROUGH NOV. 04. MY DURANGO WAS MADE DEC 04 SO DODGE WON'T TOUCH IT. *TR

FUEL SPITS BACK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL TANK. *TR
FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN REFUELING. WHILE REFUELING, THE TANK WILL FILL, THE GAS PUMP HANDLE WILL 'CLICK' OFF, THEN A SECOND LATER FUEL SPRAYS OUT ONTO THE GAS PUMP, VEHICLE, GROUND AND ANYONE STANDING NEARBY. THE PROBLEM MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL FILL-UPS IN A ROW, OR MAY SKIP A FILL-UP, AND DO IT AGAIN THE NEXT TIME. FUELING SLOWLY, VERY SLOWLY, DOES NOT STOP THE FUEL SPRAY SPILLAGE. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY FUEL STATION IN AT LEAST 6 STATES NOW. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD FAIL IF IN USE. HOWEVER, THE RADIO CONTINUED TO OPERATE AS NORMAL. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPEW BACK OUT AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,628 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT ON THE GROUND.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.
WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL, THE TANK IS NOT PROPERLY VENTING SO WHEN FILLING IS COMPLETE IT, 3 SECONDS LATER IT FORCES FUELS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND SPRAYS FUEL EVERYWHERE. *TR
WHEN FUELING, APPROX. 1 TO 2 QUARTS OF GAS BURPS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF HOW FAST OR SLOW THE FUEL IS DISPENSED. SEEMS TO NOT BE VENTING PROPERLY. I SEE DAIMLERCHRYSLER RECALL # E01 AND H45 HAVE BEEN ISSUED, HOWEVER MY MANUFACTURE DATES DO NOT FALL WITHIN RANGE. CAN MY VIN INFO BE CHECKED AND/OR ARE THERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER WITHOUT COST? *TR
FUEL SPILL OVER WHEN REFUELING ON MULTIPLE DATES AND MULTIPLE LOCATIONS OF REFUELING. *TR
I HAD MY 2005 DURANGO INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP DUE TO FUEL SHOOTING OUT OF MY GAS TANK WHEN I FILLED IT UP WITH GAS. I WAS TOLD AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT IT WAS A FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE AND THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS QUOTED $1200 TO HAVE THE TANK REPLACED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TANK REPLACEMENT. AFTER MUCH ONLINE RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE ON DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLES FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MY '05 DURANGO VIN DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE 2005 AND 2009 RECALL, BUT THAT OTHER VEHICLES WERE LATER ADDED TO THE 2009 RECALL. THIS IS MY MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND FEEL THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THEREFORE, THEY SHOULD BE THE ONES TO FIX IT AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PROMPT AND IMMEDIATELY ATTENTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR
CHRYSLER RECALL H45 - FUEL TANK FILLER INLET CHECK VALVE (GAS SPITS BACK AT YOU AND DOESN'T STOP FLOW FROM THE PUMP WHEN FULL). WE RESEARCHED THE SYMPTOMS AND FOUND SOME INFORMATION AT THE TIME. WE APPROACHED A LOCAL MENDON, MA DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WERE TOLD "THERE IS NO RECALL AND YOUR CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY". NOW WE FOUND A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE AND FOUND OUR VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE RECALL TIME FRAME (9/04 VS. RECALL DATES FOR 2005 MODEL THROUGH NOVEMBER 2004). TANK HAS HAD THESE ISSUES FOR SOME TIME NOW, 3/2010 IS A "BEST RECOLLECTION" AS TO WHEN WE FIRST NOTICED. *TR
WHENEVER I FEEL GAS TANK UP IT SHOOTS OUT EVERYWHERE. ALSO SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND EVERY TIME WE TRY TO HAVE IT WORKED ON IT NEVER GETS FIXED AND I DEALERSHIP CANT FIND ANYTHING ON THE COMPUTER WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP. WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT ALMOST EVERY TIME YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS TO GET IT TO START. *TR
THE CAR'S FUEL TANK FAILS TO SHUT-OFF, I.E. IT DOESN'T APPROPRIATELY RESPOND TO THE SHUT-OFF MECHANISM. GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM THE TANK, SOMETIMES IN A SPILLS OUT SOMETIMES IT FLOWS OUT! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF I MANUALLY FILL THE TANK, ONCE FULL IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME I'M REFUELING AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT, RUNNING DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, ON MY HAND ON MY CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND! IT'S NOT JUST DANGEROUS WITH SIMPLE STATIC ELECTRICITY, IT'S A FIRE WAITING TO HAPPEN! *TR
I JUST PURCHASED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN YOU FILL THE FUEL TANK IT OVERFLOWS FUEL OUT THE FILLER NECK SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. *TR
2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED, 5.7L HEMI V8 STALLS WHILE BACKING UP. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT BACK UP IMMEDIATELY. THE SECOND TIME ON 11/28/11, IT TOOK 3 TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE IN REVERSE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEMIS AND THERE IS A TSB #0802404 TO "REFLASH" THE ENGINE AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. THE FORUMS STATE THAT THIS IS A FIX FOR SOME VEHICLES, BUT NOT ALL. I AM SCARED TO BE IN THIS CAR WITH MY KIDS NOW-WHAT IF WE STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND GET INTO A WRECK? PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE! OUR SAFETY IS MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN, AND SHOULD BE YOURS AS WELL, DODGE! *KB
ON NOV 11, I USED MY 2005 DURANGO LTD, 5.7 HEMI FOR ERRANDS. IT IS VERY LIGHTLY USED. I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ON NOV 17 I WENT TO LOAD IT FOR A TRIP. I FOUND IT FILLED WITH AN ACRID SMOKE. I AIR'D IT OUT AND BEGAN LOOKING FOR THE CAUSE OF THE SMELL AND SMOKE. THE NEXT MORNING WE FOUND THAT THE MAIN WIRING BLOCK LOCATED IN THE DRIVERS SIDE KICK PANEL HAD MELTED DOWN, VERY MANY WIRES HAD MELTED AND THE COVER HAD MELTED TO THE PANEL AND CARPET. I CALLED DODGE THAT DAY, THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE THE CASE MGR CALL ME BY THE NEXT EVENING. BUT OF COURSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY BUSINESS DAYS SO MONDAY EVENING THEY CALLED ME TO VERIFY MY ADDRESS? I ASKED IF THIS WAS THE CASE MGR AND SHE SAID YES AND WAS CALLING TO VERIFY MY ADDRESS. OF COURSE I TOLD HER WE GAVE THE ADDRESS ON FRIDAY AND IT IS THE SAME AS WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND ON ALL OF MY RECORDS. SHE SAID SHE WOULD HAVE AN INSPECTOR CALL ME. HE CALLED ON THE 23RD AND INSPECTED IT ON SATURDAY 11/26/2011. HE TOOK ALOT OF PICTURES AND SAID WOULD FILE THE REPORT THE NEXT WEEK BUT HAD NO CONTROL WHEN DODGE WOULD CALL ME BACK OR IF DODGE WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH LOW MILES AND A DOCUMENTED SERVICE HISTORY. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT WAS HELD AT THE FIRST DEALER I BROUGHT IT TO DUE TO THE CHECK VALVE RECALL. IT IS IN THE GAS TANK AND WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING GAS TO FLY BACK OUT WHEN FILLING THE TANK. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT AGAIN LATELY FOR ABOUT THE LAST MONTH. THE INSPECTOR SAID THAT

WHEN FILLING WITH GAS, FUEL WILL SPILL BACK OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE, SOME TIMES WHEN IT GETS FULL, OTHER TIMES IT WILL DO IT ALL THE TIME. DODGE HAS HAD RECALLS ON SOME OF THESE 2005 FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT FOR SOME REASON OURS DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RANGE. EVERY TIME WILL FILL FUEL THERE IS GAS EVERYWHERE. *TR
WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE, GAS OVERFLOWS. WHEN VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN NUMBER FOR THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR IT AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. *TR
THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN FAILS AND CAUSES THE WRONG TURN INDICATOR LIGHTS (BOTH ON THE DASH AND ON THE EXTERIOR) TO ACTIVATE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE STALK TO INDICATE A LEFT TURN THE RIGHT TURN LIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED. SO, IF YOU ARE IN A LEFT TURN LANE AND YOU TRY TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE TURNING LEFT THE RIGHT INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL ACTIVATE AND CONFUSE THE OTHER DRIVERS AND COULD CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
WHEN FILLING WITH GAS FUEL WILL COME BACK OUT THE FILLING SPOUT AND SPILL GAS ALL OVER THE CAR AND GROUND, AND SOMETIMES THE PERSON FILLING IT. DODGE HAS HAD RECALL ON SOME OF THE 2005 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT OURS DOES NOT FALL INTO THEIR RANGE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG SAFETY CONCERN WITH FUEL GOING ON ME, THE CAR, AND THE GROUND. *TR

FROM TIME VEHICLE PURCHASED IT WOULD OVERFLOW GAS WHEN TRYING TO FILL TANK,RECENTLY ( APPROX. 93000 MILES)A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IS SMELT WHEN STANDING BY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND ALSO ON FLOOR IN PASSENGER AREA.IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THERE MAY BE A FUEL LEAK COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. TALKED WITH DODGE AND THEY ARE SAYING THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND DODGE SAYS THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THEIR VEHICLES, WRONG SERIAL NUMBERS. OBVIOUSLY THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL 2005 DURANGOS WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR
MY 2002 DODGE DURANGO SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, THEREFORE WILL NOT TAKE IT ON ANY HIGHWAYS OR WERE THERE IS ALOT OF TRAFFIC, ONCE IT SHUTS OFF I HAVE NO STEERING OR BRAKES AND HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE TO BEING IN ACCIDENTS. THIS IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE AND I HOPE AND PRAY TO GOD THIS IS NOT WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE FOR DODGE TO DO A RECALL. IT IS JUST TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE THAT DODGE WOULD NOT LOOK INTO THIS AND RISK A LAWSUIT FROM SOMEBODY BEING SERIOUSLY BEING INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER, TO SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS AND NOONE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK, THE TANK SPEWS GAS BACK. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT IN 2009. I DID HAVE MY VEHICLE CHECKED AT THAT TIME (THEN I WAS NOT HAVING PROBLEMS.) THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF. NOW, MY DURANGO IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE TANK EVEN SPEWS GAS WHEN FILLING SLOWLY. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUYING IT. GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP. IT'S GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE AT SOME POINT BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT AT RANDOM TIMES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STEER AND BRAKE VERY POORLY UNTIL RESTARTED. I NOTICED THAT OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THIS ONE, HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO FIX THIS ONE - EVEN THOUGH OTHER MODEL YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPAIRED. THIS STUPID THING IS GOING TO BLOW UP ONE DAY AT THE GAS STATION, OR I'M GOING TO CRASH INTO SOMEBODY WHEN IT STALLS, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO TAKE IT EVERY MECHANIC ON THE PLANET TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT - ESPECIALLY SINCE DODGE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT - BUT JUST WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR BUILDING IT POORLY. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
