2005 Dodge Durango complaints

MY PASSANGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME EVEN AFTER RECALL WAS DONE. MY 05 DODGE DURANGO STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE BACKING UP, PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES, MAKING TURNS SOMETIMES DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NO ACCIDENT AS OF YET BEEN GOING ON THE HOLE TIME I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE I AM SICK OF IT 2013 TO 2020

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAKING TURNS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A SMALL VACUUM LEAK DUE TO THE RETENTION PUMP. THE CONTACT CALLED TURNERSVILLE JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM LOCATED AT 3100 NJ-42, TURNERSVILLE, NJ 08081; PHONE NUMBER: (856) 316-7958 BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 99,000.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 55 MPH, SMOKE AND A BURNING SMELL APPEARED OUT OF THE REAR OF THE CAR. AFTER STOPPING, THEN TURNING RIGHT, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD AT THE REAR END. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, AN INSPECTION SHOWED LEAKED FLUID ALL AROUND THE UNDERSIDE REAR END. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL PINION NUT HAD COME LOOSE, WHICH DAMAGED THE PINION SEAL, AND REQUIRED A DIFFERENTIAL OVERHAUL.

STATIONARY: WHEN REFUELING, GREAT AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKS OUT WITH HIGH PRESSURE, SOAKED ME IN GASOLINE CAUSING BURNS AND SKIN IRRITATION ON HALF OF MY BODY, ALSO DAMAGED THE FUEL PANEL SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE AN EXISTENT RECALL ON VEHICLES FROM THE SAME YEAR THAT EVIDENTLY HAVE SAME DEFECTS. MY VEHICLE NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL BUT DEFECT WAS FOUND BY 2 DIFFERENT DODGE MECHANICS SO WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. UNFORTUNATELY, IN MY FIRST DRIVE IT ALMOST KILLED ME IN A ZONE WHERE VEHICLES GO AT 70 MPH. IN THE HIGHWAY SOMETHING SUDDENLY SNAPPED LOUDLY, FUEL SPLATTER LEAKING OUT WITH PRESSURE, SMOKE COMING OUT, VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AGGRESSIVELY OUT OF CONTROL, THEN VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE RUNNING, TWICE. THE VEHICLE REMAIN WITH AN ASPHYXIATING FUEL ODOR, FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE WERE AT SCENE, CHRYSLER KEPT ME HOURS IN THE PHONE CONSTANTLY WASHING THEIR HANDS FROM 2PM UNTIL 8PM, CALL AFTER CALL AND NEITHER CHRYSLER OR THE DODGE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED ANY SOLUTION NOR HELP, WE ALMOST DIED TODAY, THIS DEFECT ALMOST KILLED US.

ENGINE STALLING WHILE LOW SPEED DRIVING, WHEN DECELERATION, WHILE MAKING A STOP SIGN OR WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED PERSISTENTLY IN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND SETTINGS. ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE TIMES THE VEHICLE'S SHUTTING OFF OCCURS FREQUENTLY AT LOW SPEED, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER NORMAL SPEED. CHRYSLER COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE LISTED ON SOME VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR 2005 THAT EVIDENTLY SHOWS CERTAIN DEFECTS, THEREFORE, OWNERS ARE IMMEDIATELY DISMISS OR IGNORED AND LEFT WITH A LIFE THREATENING VEHICLE ON THEIR HANDS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

MY 05 DODGE DURANGO WILL ENGAGE IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND ENGAGE WHILE TRUCK IS IN PARK AND ENGINE OFF.

FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FAILS CAUSING GAS TO LEAK OUT AT CONCLUSION OF A FUELING WHEN STATIONARY. THIS HAS DAMAGED THE REAR QUARTER PANEL OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS THE SAME CONDITION AS COVERED IN CHRYSLER RECALL NO. H45, HOWEVER, THEY ONLY RECALLED 18,951 MANUFACTURED FROM OCT-NOV 2004. THIS DURANGO (MARCH 2005), AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED, IS OUTSIDE OF THOSE DATES AND YET HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. H45 SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL 2005 DURANGO MODELS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

'TAKATA RECALL' THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITH MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 4.7 LITER V8, 4 WHEEL DRIVE SUV THAT ARE ALARMING. EVERY SINGLE TIME I FUEL THE VEHICLE IT SHOOTS GASOLINE RIGHT BACK ON OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHERE YOU INSERT THE FUEL NOZZLE AND COVERS ME WITH GAS! PLUS I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SEVERAL TIMES, ALONG WITH THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, AND MAP SENSOR JUST TO TRY AND CORRECT THE STALLING WHILE EITHER SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP, OR IT ALSO OCCURS QUITE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT NORMAL OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE AND JUST IDLING. THE RPM GAUGE INSIDE THE VEHICLE STARTS FLUCTUATING IRRATICALLY BEFORE STALLING. YOU LOSE ALL POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS! ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT'S PRESENT IS HARD SHIFTING, OR THE VEHICLE FAILS TO SHIFT UNTIL IT ALMOST PEGS OUT THE RPM GAUGE. IT'S LIKE BOTH IDLE AND SHIFT ARE AFFECTED CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY, TUNEUPS, ETC. HOWEVER DESPITE STAYING ON TOP OF ALL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS THE VEHICLE STILL RUNS POORLY AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AT 78,000 MILES. IT'S NOW GOT 113K ON IT AND I HONESTLY THINK THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY TO ADDRESS ALL OF THESE ISSUES! THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND THE PARTS REPLACED IT CONTINUES TO STALL OUT AND SHIFT INCORRECTLY THERE'S 18 TROUBLE CODES THAT KEEP COMING UP INCLUD

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

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

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

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