2005 Dodge Durango complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK ONTO THE GROUND BECAUSE THE CHECK VALVE WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 05V034000 ( FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP) AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED HIM TO FILE A COMPLAINT. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AFTER DRIVING APROX 5 MILES. DOES NOT GO OFF UNTIL VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL WOULD ESCAPE FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED WHO REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP) BUT ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

GAS SPITS BACK EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES IT IS A VERY WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED MANUFACTURING FAULT, BUT IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO REPAIR IT, AS THE VEHICLES' VIN DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE SPECIFIED BY CHRYSLER'S LAST TWO RECALLS. *TR

WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED WITH GAS AND THE AUTO SHUT OFF ON THE DISPENSER ENGAGED, GAS WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE VEHICLE UNDER VERY HIGH PRESSURE. . THE FUELING PROBLEM IS ONE THAT CONFOUNDS ME. IF YOU ALLOW THE FUEL DISPENSER TO PUMP UNTIL IT AUTOMATICALLY STOPS, YOU WILL BE GREETED WITH A HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY OF FUEL THAT WILL COVER YOU AND ANYONE STANDING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PUMP. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY RECALLS FOR CHECK VALVES IN FUEL TANKS, BUT NONE OF THEM COVER MY VIN NUMBER. THE DODGE PLACE WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOR JUST OVER $700 ACCORDING TO MY QUOTE, AN AMOUNT THAT UNWITTING FUEL CUSTOMERS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PUMPS FROM ME MIGHT THINK WORTHWHILE. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF THAT FINE FUEL SPRAY, ONLY TO WONDER WHY DODGE WILL NOT FIX AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE DURING EVERY REFUELING. THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. AS THE RESULT, GAS IS SPILLED DURING EVERY TIME I GET GAS. THIS WASTES GAS, CAUSES AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, AND POTENTIALLY COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WAS SPILLING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD THAT NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP) WAS RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

TICKING SOUND AND A EXHAUST SMELL IN VEHICLE CAUSED ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT A BOLT HAD BROKEN OFF A WAS SITTING IN THE HEAT SHIELD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK COULD NOT BE FILLED TO CAPACITY AND FUEL WOULD BE SPEWED FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DO SO. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 10/06/11 *BF UPDATED 12/13/11

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS BEEN SPITTING BACK FUEL EVERY TIME I REFUEL FOR THE LAST 5-6 MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER FOR 90K SERVICE & ASKED THEM TO CHECK OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. SERVICE MANAGER CALLED ME & I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK FOR OVER $700. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THE WORK. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE RECALL OR ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HUNG UP & GOT ONLINE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF SEARCHING THE INTERNET I SEE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE & I AM NOT ALONE. IT SEEMS TO ME A RECALL OF ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF THE EFFECTED VEHICLES IS NO SOLUTION. I INTEND TO CONTACT DODGE & COMPLAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE FUEL TANK WHENEVER IT WAS ADDED TO THE FUEL TANK.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH GASOLINE THE GAS SPITS BACK UP OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER TUBE AND ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. THE DODGE DURANGO HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON FEB 1, 2005 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V034000. AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS CHRYSLER ON JAN 6, 2009 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 EXPANDED THE RECALL AND REPORTED TO THE NHTSA THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED IN PRODUCTION AND THE NHTSA CLOSED THE CASE. WELL, CHRYSLER DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OR THE FIX HAS FAILED. MY DURANGO WAS PRODUCED AFTER THE LATEST RECALL ENDING DATE AND HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN MY DURANGO TO THE DEALER ON SEPT 14, 2011 AFTER REPORTING THE PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER (CASE NUMBER 21324740). THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK FOR $200.00. I DECLINED THE OFFER BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE / SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT! *TR

WHEN ADDING GAS TO THE VEHICLE THE GAS TANK SPITS THE GAS OUT. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD ESCAPE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

NHTSA ACTION NUMBER RQ08005: INV. CLOSED 9 JAN 09 THE SPIT BACK PROBLEM CONTINUED IN THE FIELD FOR VEHICLES BUILT FROM MID-OCTOBER THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER. CHRYSLER REPORTED PROCESS MODIFICATIONS WERE IMPLEMENTED ON 11/24/04 TO ADDRESS SPIT BACK PROBLEMS AND BELIEVES THESE PROCESS CHANGES WOULD HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN ALL VEHICLES BUILT AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT AS OF 11/30/04. IN THE TWO PLUS YEARS SINCE THE INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED, THE NETS HAS RECEIVED OVER 300 COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THE ISSUE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED BY THE EXPANDED RECALL. NEARLY ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WITH THE PROBLEM WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PLEASE RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION! THE INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED BASED ON A "BELIEF" WITHOUT CHECKING THE VERACITY OF THE CLAIM MADE BY CHRYSLER! THE SPIT-BACK PROBLEM IS STILL A PROBLEM- CHRYSLER KNOWS IT, OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SO QUICK TO MAKE ME AN OFFER BECAUSE THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. INCIDENTALLY, MY 2005 DURANGO WAS MANUFACTURED IN FEB OF 2005 MAKING IT OBVIOUS THAT THE "PROCESS MODIFICATIONS" WERE NOT INCORPORATED IN ALL VEHICLES AND THE SUPPLIER OF THE FUEL TANKS ACTUALLY DID NOT MAKE THE STATED MANUFACTURING CHANGE. MY RECOMMENDATION: EXPAND THE RECALL TO ANY 2005 DURANGO EXPERIENCING THE KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THE FUEL SPIT BACK PROBLEM. UNLESS OF COURSE, CHRYSLER IS LEVERAGING RISK VS. COST OF AN EXPANDED RECALL AND WEIGHING THE ODDS THAT THE NETS WILL JUST LET THIS ONE S

DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT 35 MPH AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY! I COASTED TO A FULL STOP, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION...WAITED 10 SECONDS AND THEN TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND DROVE OFF. VEHICLE ALSO FEELS VERY SLUGGISH ESPECIALLY DRIVING OVER 55 MPH. YOU MUST REALLY PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN TO ACCELERATE. ENGINE SHUTTING OFF IS SOOOO DANGEROUS. GOD FOR BID THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN IM DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHILE ON THE FREEWAY!!! *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 LITER HEMI. ON FREEWAY, ENGINE STARTED "PULLING" AND "MISSING" AND SHUT OFF. 75 MPH FREEWAY SPEED, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD A CAR LOAD OF KIDS. WAS ABLE TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL, AND START THE ENGINE (DOESNT START IMMEDIATELY). RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 50 MILES AFTERWARDS. HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 50 MILES OF DRIVING. HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 MONTHS. GIVES NO CODES AS TO WHAT IT CAN BE. CLEANED THROTTLE, WORKED A FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN PROBLEM CONTINUED TODAY. ITS GETTING HARDER TO GET IT STARTED ONCE IT GIVES OUT. EGR REPLACED ($500.00), BATTERY (200.00), SPARK PLUGS (150.00), REPLACED FUEL PUMP LAST WEEK (220.00 WITH LABOR)...I'M BASICALLY TIRED OF THIS!!!!!!! CHECKED DODGE FORUM AND THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURED AS OF YET, BUT WHATS TO SAY SOMEONE ISNT GOING TO BE KILLED BY THIS HAPPENING! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I'M ALL OUT OF IDEAS, AS ARE THE DODGE DEALERS AND MECHANICS I'VE DEALT WITH. FOR YOUR SAKE, THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE THE LAWSUITS START COMING. *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

2005 DODGE DURANGO. IN 2007 TIEROD END ON PASSENGER SIDE BROKE WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT AND THE DEALER FIXED IT FOR FREE. IN AUGUST 2011 WE DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS LAYING ON THE FRONT AXLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS CAUSED THE BRAKE LINE TO RUB IN TWO AND CAUSED BRAKE FAILURE RESULTING IN A CRASH (WHICH IS HOW THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED). THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ALSO SAID HE PICKED UP A DURANGO THAT HAD THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINT BROKEN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE FRONT END OF THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO IS APPRENTLY VERY POORLY DESIGNED. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HER SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL PUMP MODULAR AND SHE NEEDED A SYSTEM UPDATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THEY WILL NOT SPEAK WITH HER. THE CASE MANAGER WOULD NOT RETURN HER CALL. THE DEALER WILL NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. IT WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED (HAPPENED TO US WHILE GOING 55MPH). THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND TURNING OFF THE BRAKES. THIS WILL HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A DAY, BUT CAN BE WORSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWER FOR ME. THEY ARE JUST GUESSING AS TO THE PROBLEM. SO FAR NOTHING FIXED ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM. IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DURING A TURN OR BEND IN THE ROAD (WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP) THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT. MANY PEOPLE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT CAN FIT THE WHOLE FAMILY, SO WHEN THERE IS AN ACCIDENT IT THERE WILL MOST LIKELY BE A DEATH/INJURY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, 5.7L HEMI, USED FROM A DEALERSHIP. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY FLUSHED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SAID THAT IF IT DID IT AGAIN THEY WOULD TRY REPLACING THE SOLENOID IN THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THAT, THE ENGINE WOULD JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING - MOSTLY WHEN I WAS JUST STARTING OUT, BUT ONE TIME IT JUST DIED (NO WARNINGS) WHEN I WAS DOING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY! NOW MY CAR IS STARTING TO BUCK (FEELS LIKE YOU HIT SOMETHING) AT @ 45 MPH - NOT WHEN ACCELERATING, STEPPING ON THE GAS OR DECELERATING, BUT RATHER WHEN STAYING AT A STEADY RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN, MY HUSBAND WORKS OUT OF STATE, AND I FEAR FOR OUR LIVES EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE! IT IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE A LOAN ON IT! I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SAME TYPE OF SYMPTOMS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY DODGE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT! THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT BEFORE, NOW IT'S TIME THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THESE CARS AND GET THEM FIXED BEFORE PEOPLE START DIEING! THEY ARE BLATANTLY IGNORING A KNOWN PROBLEM! *TR

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OUR DURANGO. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED WITH APPROX 60K MILES ON IT. IT IS TOTALLY AT RANDOM. I'M ALWAYS ABLE TO POP IT INTO NEUTRAL AND START IT BACK UP AGAIN AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS IS NOT ONLY THAT THE ENGINE TOTALLY SHUTS OFF(AS IF THAT ISN'T A HUGE ISSUE IN ITSELF), BUT THAT THE POWER STEERING/POWER BRAKES GO OUT AS WELL MAKING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT A HUGE ISSUE. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD A STUTTER WHEN DRIVING. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, BEING TOLD THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR PULL ANY CODES. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM TO LOCATE THEIR DEFECT. AT THIS POINT DODGE NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I URGE EVERYONE TO ALSO SUBMIT THIS PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL ESCAPED FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK. THE FAILURE ALWAYS OCCURRED WHEN THE PUMP WAS SET TO REFUEL AUTOMATICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER, HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY).THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,00 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

WE RECENTLY PURCHASE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO V-8 HEMI. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF HAVING IT I NOTICED THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IT SOUNDS AS THE DOOR ISN'T CLOSED ALL THE WAY, BUT WHEN I GOTO TO RE- SHUT IT TO MAKE SURE IT IS CLOSED, IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE IT IS OPEN. THEN MY 2 YEAR OLD SON HAD ROLLED HIS WINDOW DOWN THE SAME TIME I HAD AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE DOOR WOULD FLY OFF AND SMACK INTO A ANOTHER CAR/ BICYCLIST ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING! THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED RIGHT AWAY! FROM READING OTHER REVIEWS ONLINE OF THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING, IT IS OBVIOUS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THESE VEHICLES AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT DODGE WILL TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER! I AM SO UPSET ABOUT THIS SITUATION, I HAVE AN INFANT SON AND A 2 YEAR OLD AND THE THOUGHT OF BEING IN A WRECK OR HURTING SOMEONE ELSE IS MIND BOGGLING AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IF SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I HOPE THAT DODGE DOESN'T SEE THIS AS A MINOR DEFECT AND FIXES IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPILL OUT ONTO THE GROUND.

DURING FILLING GAS ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED (5.7 L HEMI), THE GAS HAS STARTED RUNNING OUT OR SPRAYING OUT OF THE FILLING NOZZLE AS THE FUEL TANK BECOMES FULL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN 5 OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CLAIMS MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR A FAULTY FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE, BUT I CONTINUALLY HAVE TO MONITOR MY GAS GAUGE AS I'M FILLING MY VEHICLE EACH TIME TO AVOID GAS SPEWING OUT AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THIS MODEL WITH SELECT VIN NUMBERS, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MINE IS NOT COVERED? *KB

FUEL OVERFLOW ON FILL UP. STATUS UPDATE. 11/15/11 *KB

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT RIGHT AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. EASILY A QUART OF GAS SPRAYS EVERYWHERE. EVEN REFUELING SLOWLY DOES NOT PREVENT THIS. SPILLED GAS PRESENTS A FIRE HAZARD.

MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR NOW STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE CAUSING A DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE .WHILE STOPPING ,TURNING OR SLOWING AND LATELY EVEN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR WILL DIE ,SOMETIMES IM NOT AWARE OF IT UNTIL THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP .I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MANY TIMES INCLUDING ONE TIME I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A BUS .I HAVE 5 SMALL CHILDREN AND IM PARANOID EVERYTIME WE GET IN THE CAR . THE INCIDENTS ARE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY .IN THE BEGGINING IT HAPPENED EVERY FEW DAYS NOW IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IT ALSO REVS RPM WHILE IN PARK AND AT STOPS ,MANY TIMES IT DIES ALTOGETHER . IN ALL THESE CASES THE CAR STARTS RIGHT BACK UP .THERE IS ALSO AN ANNOYING TICKING NOISE FROM THE CAR .I HAVENT HAD THE CAR REPAIRED YET BECAUSE DURING RESAERCH I DISCOVERED MANY PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS AND HAVE SPENT HUNDREDSOF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX BUT TO NO AVAIL . IM ON A LIMITED INCOME AND CANT AFFORD TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEMS REMAIN!! *TT

GAS SPLASHES OUT ON MYSELF AND THE CAR AND THE GROUND EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GASOLINE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED AND VERIFIED THAT IN JAN OF '09 THERE WAS A MASSIVE RECALL ON 2005 DURANGOS REGARDING THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME $75.00 TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR MY YEAR OF DURANGO. I HAVE THE COMPLAINT NUMBER FROM THE NHTSB ANNOUNCING THE MASSIVE RECALL OF THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. WHEN I COMPLAINED AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER.THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. A FIRE COULD START OR WORSE YET , I COULD CATCH ON FIRE WITH THE AMOUNT OF BACKSPLASH I RECEIVE EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK UP FULLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT ON CHRYSLER'S PART AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. AT THE HIGH PRICE OF FUEL I DO NOT EXPECT TO BE DOUSED WITH A SHOWER OF GAS, NOR DO OTHER CUSTOMERS' PARKED NEAR MY CAR AT THE GAS STATION.

FUEL OVERFLOW ON FILL UP. UPDATED 07/28/11*BF

2005 DODGE DURANGO - FUEL SPURTS OUT OF TANK AT END OF FILLING NEARLY EVERY TIME. *TT

2005 DODGE DURANGO FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS EVERYTIME I FILL IT UP WITH GAS, ABOUT A GALLON OR SO SHOOTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK BECAUSE THEIR IS A FAULTY PART. I HAVE CALLED DODGE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T IN THE RECALL; BUT IF THE PART HAD BEEN MADE IN A DIFFERENT FACTORY THAT HAD THE DEFECT ISSUES THEN IT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF WASTING MY MONEY ON THE GAS THAT KEEPS SHOOTING OUT OF IT AND WASHING MY VEHICLE OFF EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER 2005 AND 2006 DURANGO OWNERS AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ANY SUGGESTIONS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND RESUMED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED WITHOUT AN ENGINE PROTECTION COVER, WHICH ALLOWED WATER TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE. THE SENSOR THROTTLE AND FOURTEEN OTHER PARTS WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER FOR ONE MONTH FOR THE REPAIRS. FOUR DAYS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE ENGINE SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, STOPPED RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN THE ENGINE STOPS. THE DATE LISTED IS THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. *TR

FIRST, THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THEN, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER QUIT WORKING WHEN THE ABS, PARKING BRAKE, CHECK ENGINE, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RECALL, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDS A NEW ABS CONTROL MODULE AND WIRING HARNESS. THE WIRING HARNESS IS COMPLETELY MELTED, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF A SHORT IN THE CONTROL MODULE - AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE WIRING HARNESS IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER, SO I AM WITHOUT ABS BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, AND A SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER UNTIL THEN. *TR
