2005 Dodge Durango complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE WHEN FUEL BEGAN TO SPEW BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER TUBE. THE FAILURE BEGAN AS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT SOON PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE. 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 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT CLOSE AND GAS ALWAYS SPILLS OUT. I AM AFRAID THAT GAS SPILLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. AT TIMES,WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF IF I AM MOVING SLOWLY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2006. THE FIRST YEAR, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR STALLING ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN ABOUT THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVERY TIME, NOTHING WAS RESOLVED. AFTER THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR THE TIME TO CONTINUE BRINGING THE TRUCK IN FOR A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIND. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE JUST DEALT WITH THIS TRUCK STALLING ON ITS OWN. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED SPILLING OUT GAS IF IT WAS FILLED UP. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL UNTIL I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. I CONTACT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN # AND TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS LISTED ON MY PARTICULAR TRUCK. I EXPLAINED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY CAR HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE AND THAT GAS SPILLED OUT. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS AFRAID THAT GAS WAS SPILLING FROM THE TANK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I TAKE THE

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER PERFORMED A SMOKE TEST WHICH CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS A ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA RECALL 09V003000, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY BUT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RESPONSIBLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,250.

ON 4 OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE TRYING TO TURN ON A INTERSECTION AT A LOW SPEED. ALL FLUIDS ARE IN THE CORRECT LEVELS AND NO FAULT LIGHTS APPEAR. THE VEHICLE DOES START NORMALLY AFTER A SECOND. THE INCIDENTS ARE SPORADIC HOWEVER ARE CONCERNING BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AN MANY HAVE COMPLAINED. THE DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW FAULT CODE. I TRIED CONTACTING DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT IT BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP.

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.

WHEN PUTTING GASOLINE INTO MY TANK, GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.. I ESTIMATE THAT APPROXIMATELY 4-5 CUPS OF GAS END UP ON THE GROUND, ON MY FEET, AND ON MY CLOTHES. IT WILL CONTINUALLY SPEW OUT UNLESS I BARELY DEPRESS THE FILL UP ARM AT THE PUMP. THIS RESULTS IN NOT ONLY GASOLINE OVER THE GROUND AND MYSELF, BUT IT WILL OFTEN TAKE ME ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO FILL MY TANK. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER/DODGE CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL THAT WAS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAME YEAR MODEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPEW BACK FROM THE FILLER TUBE AND ONTO THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT LOCATED A RECALL PERTAINING TO THE FAILURE FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) BUT THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,700.

THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLE IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS LISTED IN RECALL 09V003000 -- AT THE END OF REFUELING, SOME FUEL ESCAPES FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK, WHICH, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. THIS IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE, ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF ESCAPED FUEL VARIED FROM STATION TO STATION. DEALER SUGGESTED MY VEHICLE IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER, AND THEREFORE ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE PAID OUT OF POCKET.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE THE FUEL TANK WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FULL. THE FAILURE CAUSED GASOLINE TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE BUT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT OF MY FUEL TANK. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS STATION NOZZLE, BUT REALIZED THAT AFTER USING SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. AFTER COMPLETING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I SAW THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAME COMPLAINT. I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN ON MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I ASKED FOR MY NEXT STEPS, AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I DID, AND WAS TOLD I COULD PAY THE $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. BUT, I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY "SEVERAL" HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, GAS SPEWED ALL OVER MY HANDS AND FEET. SO, AFTER CLEANING MYSELF UP THE BEST I COULD, I DROVE HOME SMELLING GAS FUMES. I HAVE TO LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AND LOOK AT THE GALLONS ON THE FUEL PUMP TO DETERMINE WHEN I NEED TO STOP ADDING FUEL. I THEN GO TURN THE KEY TO SEE HOW FULL THE TANK IS. I THEN PROCEED AGAIN WITH THE SAME STEPS UNTIL I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH GAS OR AT TIMES, GAS COMES SPEWING OUT. I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF AN INJURY THAT COULD OCCUR TO MY EYES IF GAS GOT IN THEM DUE TO ME LISTENING SO CLOSELY FOR THE SOUND OF A "FULL" TANK. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN WHICH THE VIN NUMBER WASN'T COVERED, AND I THINK THIS IS LUDICROUS, IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. WILL IT TAKE THE ACTIONS OF MY LAWYER TO GET THIS RESOLVED?

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHENEVER DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK TO THE FULL CAPACITY, THE FUEL WOULD ABRUPTLY SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

FUEL SPLASHES UP THE FILLER WHEN REFUELING - STARTED IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND HAS OCCURRED ON LAST 4 FILL-UPS. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO SPILLS FUEL WHEN FINISHING FILLING THE TANK. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT DODGE WILL ONLY INCLUDE CERTAIN VINS IN THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE IS AFFECTED WITH DIFFERENT VINS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 5.7 LITER V8. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 43,100 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. AS OF RIGHT NOW, EVERYTME I FILL UP MY CAR, THE PUMP WILL CLICK OFF AND THEN GAS WILL START SPRAYING OUT OF THE GAS TANK. IT HAS RECENTLY HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN A ROW WITHOUT FAIL. IT APPEARS IT'S SEVERAL CUPS OF GAS THAT SPRAYS OUT. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I AM CLEAR OF THE GAS TANK PIPE OR I WILL BE COVERED IN GAS. I CONTACTED DODGE WITH THE ISSUE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND LEARNED THAT THERE WERE TWO RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THERE ARE STILL MORE OF THESE DANGEROUS ISSUES HAPPENING. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

AT THE COMPLETION OF FUELING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, THE FUEL PUMP WILL SHUT OFF, THEN 1-2 SECONDS LATER APPROXIMATELY 1 CUP OF FUEL WILL SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. IT HAS OCCURRED 4 TIME OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS (EACH TIME I FILL UP). WHILE RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I CAME ACROSS NHTSA ACTION NUMBER RQ08005, AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER (CASE #20241304) WHO TOLD ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO DELRAY MOTORS TO EVALUATE. THEY REPLACED THE FILLER PIPE, CHARGED ME $403.21, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. AFTER RETURNING THE CAR TO DELRAY MOTORS, THEY HAVE MADE VARIOUS ACCUSATION REGARD ME NOT REPRESENT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS COMPLETED IN AUGUST OF 2005 (WHICH WAS NEVER DONE). HOW DO I GET DODGE/CHRYSLER TO HONOR THIS RECALL? *TR

FUEL POURS OUT OF THE FUEL PORT DURING REFUELING. THE FUEL TANK DOESN'T TRIGGER THE SHUT OFF OF THE FUEL. *TR

MY DURANGO WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IT NORMALLY DOES THIS AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS COMING UP ON A STOP SIGN OR DOING A 3 POINT TURN. WHEN IT STALLS YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK AT LOW SPEEDS, WHILE BRAKING, TURNING, PARKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CURVES, SENDING US INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC SINCE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A SCHOOL PARKING LOT SEVERAL TIMES, CREATING A HAZARD. NO PARTICULAR DATE, AS MANY INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. TAKEN IT IN TO DODGE TWICE FOR SERVICE AND THEY TELL US THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE WRONG AS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE. WE WANT THIS FIXED. WE LIKE THE TRUCK OTHERWISE. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE FELT COMPLETELY SAFE IN IT, BUT THIS IS HARD TO DO WHEN IT STALLS WITH NO WARNING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK IT WOULD SPILL BACK ONTO HIM. THERE NHTSA RECALL #05V034000, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE STORAGE, TANK ASSEMBLY FILLER PIPE AND CAP. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED HER THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL; THEREFORE SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,812.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WOULD NOT CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING THE VEHICLE, SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000 ( FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 31,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE AND AFTER THE AUTOMATIC FUEL TANK SHUTS OFF THE FUEL LEAKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF NHTSA RECALL#05V034000, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2005 DURANGO. IT SPITS FUEL OUT THE FILLER NECK HORRIBLY WHEN TRYING TO FILL IT UP. EVEN ON SLOWEST SETTING ON THE PUMP HANDLE IT LAUNCHES FUEL ONTO THE TRUCK, PUMP HANDLE, AND ENOUGH TO "RUN" IF GROUND IS SLANTED. I CONTACTED DODGE WHO SAYS BASICALLY ITS MY BABY. I HAVE TO BUY A TANK TO FIX IT. BUT SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE ARE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. WHEN I QUESTIONED IT TO THE DODGE REPRESENTATIVE HE INSISTED IT WAS A DIFFERENT ISSUE. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE FOR 2 VEHICLES TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN, ONLY TO FIND SOME ARE COVERED AND SOME ARE NOT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT SITUATION, NOT TO MENTION THE EMBARRASSMENT. *TR

NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. AT BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2010 BEGAN TO FILL GAS TANK, WHEN TANK FULL, GAS NOZZLE CLICKED OFF AND A COUPLE OF SECONDS LATER GASOLINE SPRAYED OUT ALL OVER MY PANTS AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. SINCE THAT TIME, EVERYTIME TANK IS FILLED, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. MY CONCERN IS IF THERE IS AN IGNITION SOURCE WITH ALL THE GAS THAT LEAKS OUT, A FIRE COULD RESULT, OR IF THE PUMP HAPPENS TO HAVE A FLANGE NEAR END, IT HAS SPRAYED OUT FROM SIDES, AND IF CHILD HAPPENS TO BE WALKING BY, IT COULD SPRAY A CHILD IN THE EYES. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF ONE OF THE EPISODES OF GAS COMING OUT FROM AROUND PUMP NOZZLE AFTER PUMP CLICKS OFF. I DID CALL CHRYSLER AS IT APPEARS THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL, HOWEVER THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT MY AUTOMOBILE IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED AND SAID THEY WOULD COMPENSATE ME FOR SOME OF THE COST TO GET IT FIXED, HOWEVER WOULDN'T TELL ME WHAT AMOUNT THEY WOULD PAY UNTIL AFTER TAKING IT IN. PER SERVICE DEPT REPORT "THE FUEL TANK FLAPPER IS STICKING". THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY WERE FIXED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. OLD PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR ALL BUT $250.00 FOR WHICH I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR. *TR

WHEN REFUELING GAS SPILLS FROM THE FILLER TUBE WHEN THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 OR 6 TIMES IN A ROW SINCE NOVEMBER 15, 2010. IT HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM SINCE IT BEGAN. THIS OCCURS AT FILL UP. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS, SO IT IS NOT A GAS PUMP FAULT. THIS IS THE SAME CONDITION REPORTED IN CAMPAIGN 05V034000 AND 09V003000. MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT HAS THE SAME DEFECT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT INCLUDE IT IN THE RECALL, BUT SAID THEY MAY HELP WITH THE REPAIR PENDING A DEALERS REPORT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED, THERE WOULD BE NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES OR ELECTRICAL POWER. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE IF THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000.

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

THE FUEL TANK SPEWS GAS AT ME WHEN I FILL IT UP, AND SOMETIMES ONLY WHEN I PARTIALLY FILL IT GAS COMES OUT AS WELL. DODGE HAS A RECALL ISSUED ON SOME 2005 DODGE DURANGO VINS, BUT MINE IS NOT IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE PROBLEM. I NEED HELP GETTING IT FIXED AS DODGE CURRENTLY DOES NOT FEEL IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. IT FIRST OCCURRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK TO THE FULL CAPACITY LEVEL, THE FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

FUEL (APPROXIMATELY 1/4-1/2 GALLON EACH EVENT) SPRAYS OUT OF FUEL TANK FILLER NECK DURING REFUELING WHEN TANK REACHES FULL POINT. EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS REFERENCED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 09V003000. HOWEVER, DODGE REPORTS MY VIN IS NOT ONE OF THE AFFECTED MODELS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. INITIALLY THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A ONE-TIME FLUKE, BUT HAS SINCE CONTINUED TO EJECT FUEL FROM THE TANK EVERY TIME I REFUEL THE TANK UPON REACHING THE FULL POINT DURING REFUEL. HAD NO INDICATIONS OF ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO FIRST EVENT; RECEIVED NO MALFUNCTION LIGHTS. AFTER FIRST EVENT, NOTICED LOUD VENTING SOUND COMING FROM TANK APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MINUTES LATER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD - INITIALLY THOUGHT I HAD AIR QUICKLY ESCAPING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE, BUT REALIZED IT WAS COMING FROM THE TANK. HAS NOT DONE THIS SINCE. TO DATE, I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY MALFUNCTION LIGHTS OR INDICATIONS, OTHER THAN THE CONSISTENT FUEL SPILL EVERY TIME I FILL UP THAT WILL SOON BEGIN TO EAT INTO THE PAINT IF NOT REMEDIED SOON. I DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE TO MAKE LONG-DISTANCE TRIPS FREQUENTLY, TRAVELLING THROUGH LOCATIONS WITH NO SERVICES, SO NOT COMPLETELY FILLING THE FUEL TANK IS NOT A SAFE OR VIABLE LONG-TERM OPTION. VEHICLE NOW HAS 90,000 MILES.

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND AT ABOUT 68,000 MILES IT STARTED SPEWING GAS FROM THE FILLER TUBE JUST AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE GAS PUMP BUT AT EVERY REFUELING SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT THE SAME THING HAPPENS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE I FOUND THAT DODGE HAD RECALLED SEVERAL 2005 DURANGO'S BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL DODGE HAS UNDERESTIMATED THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. GAS BEING SPEWED OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE IS NOT ONLY A DANGER TO THOSE REFUELING AND SURROUNDING THE AREA WHERE REFUELING IS OCCURRING BUT ALSO HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 3 TO 4 CUPS OF GAS SPEW OUT IN EACH INSTANCE. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT. STALLS WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE GONE ONLINE TO READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT CHARGE PEOPLE MONEY FOR FUTILE REPAIRS THAT HASN'T SOLVED THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. I PRAY A FAMILY WITH SMALL CHILDREN DON'T HAVE TO BE THE SACRIFICE FOR DODGE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT WAS OPENED FOR INVESTIGATION BUT LATER CLOSED. DUE TO PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY REPORT THE PROBLEM, JUST GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO TELL US WE ARE WRONG AND THE DURANGO IS JUST FINE. PLEASE OPEN THIS UP FOR INVESTIGATION, I WILL LET YOU KEEP MY DURANGO FOR 30 DAYS TO SEE FOR YOURSELF, YOU CAN PICK IT UP ANYTIME. . PLEASE DON'T REACT AFTER SOMEONE PAYS THE ULTIMATE PRICE, IT MAY BE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW AND/OR LOVE. *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 $825 REPAIR BILL FOR A DESIGN/PART FLAW THAT THEY DID NOT CORRECT AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS FAULTY PART WAS REPLACED ON AUGUST 12, 2008 IN RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT 10219910 BUT HAS FAILED YET AGAIN. THE RECALL ON THE SERVICE DICUMENT WAS LISTED AS E01-410-567-1836 FROM BUSINESS CENTER/MARK WITTHOLZ. THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE $825 REPLACEMENT COST. PLEASE CONSIDER RULING ONCE AGAIN THAT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSED BY AN OBVIOUSLY FLAWED PART SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT CHRYSLER'S EXPENSE. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO TELL ME THE MAKE OF THE REPLACEMENT TANK INSTALLED ON AUGUST 12, 2008 SO I HAVE INDICATED FAILED ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SUBMIT THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FOR FOUR YEARS WHILE ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK IT SPILLED BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED HIM THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

CAR IS STALLING WHEN AT A STOP OR SLOW SPEEDS. IT JUST DIES WITH NO WARNING. IT IS GETTING WORSE. I WILL NOT SIT AT A STOP WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. IT SEEMS TO ME IT IS THE NHTSA EA05018 PROBLEM. I THINK THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE REOPENED. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED IN 2006, VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED RUNNING WHEN TURNING (LEFT OR RIGHT) . I CAN START IT AGAIN, BUT IT WILL CONTINUE TO DIE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN STOPPED OR TURNING. IT MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE MONTH, OR NOTHING AT ALL FOR 6 OR 10 MONTHS, BUT CONTINUES TO DO I--4 YEARS NOW. DEALER CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE, INDEPENDENT MECHANICS CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE. WHEN ITS DOING THIS AND I'M STOPPED (IN DRIVE) RPM'S WILL BOUNCE FROM 2 TO 0 A BUNCH, THEN IT WILL DIE. AM ALSO HAVING SURGES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. AND IT STALLS WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE. NOT A LOT OF WATER... YOUR AVERAGE PUDDLE THAT EVERY OTHER CAR GOES THROUGH FINE. POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE CAR STALLS... SOMETIMES IT DIES, SOMETIMES IT MAKES IT BACK TO LIFE. MY VEHICLE WAS DOING ALL OF THIS AT UNDER 20,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR YEARS NOW. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WHEN MY CAR IS HAVING ONE OF ITS "DAYS", I DON'T DRIVE IT. I'M NOT RISKING MYSELF OR OTHERS. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS WITH OUT NOTICE. THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM AND NOBODY AND CAN REPAIR IT. I'M SURE THIS COULD CAUSE A WREAK WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKE. PLEASE HELP THE DEALERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT COULD BE. I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR IT IS UNSAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK TO THE FULL CAPACITY LEVEL, FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO DEFECTIVE INLET CHECK VALVES. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) YET THE CONTACTS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

2005 DODGE DURANGO HEMI. WHEN DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH MY DURANGO JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. I LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKES. ITS A MIRACLE I DIDN'T CAUSE A 20 CAR PILE UP. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I HAVE 3 KIDS WHO WERE LUCKILY NOT IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THEY TOWED MY DURANGO TO A LOCAL SHOP WHO COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY INTURN TOWED IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME RIGHT AWAY THAT THE VALVE SPRING WENT AND NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE HOW MANY OTHER HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE CARE OF ALL OF US WITH THESE ENGINE PROBLEMS. AT THIS POINT I'D RATHER BUY A TOYOTA THAT ANOTHER DODGE. AT LEAST THEY RECALLED THEIR VEHICLES AND TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEMS THEY WERE HAVING. AS IT STANDS I HAVE BEEN OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND NO SIGNS OF GETTING IT BACK SOON. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE NEW ENGINE I HAD TO BUY AT $8,000 IS BACKORDERED AND CANNOT GET UNTIL DEC!!! I HAVE 3 KIDS AND NO LONGER A VEHICLE TO FIT EVERYONE IN. I ASKED ABOUT A RENTAL TO HELP ME OUT BUT WAS ALSO TOLD DODGE WON'T DO THAT EITHER. *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

GAS SPILLS WHEN PUMPING GAS STARTED AT 98322 MILES. TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. MY DODGE DURANGO DOES WHAT THE RECALL CLAIMS NEEDS REPAIR. VEHICLE AT 126000 AND STILL SPILLS GAS ALL OVER THE CEMENT OF THE GAS STATION. WHAT A DANGEROUS SITUATION! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE AGAIN!! TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND NOW I'M HAVING ANOTHER PROBLEM. THE TCM HAS AN ERROR AND THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TCM. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO BEGAN SPITTING GAS BACK OUT AFTER THE PUMP HAS CLICKED OFF. APPROXIMATELY, 1/2 GALLON IS WASTED, IT ON LANDS ON THE CAR, GROUND AND MYSELF. THIS OCCURS EACH AND EVERY TIME THE CAR IS FUELED. DODGE HAS A RECALL ON THE GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY RECALL FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. I HAVE CALLED DODGE AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT I MUST PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, DEDUCTIBLE AND POSSIBLY A PERCENTAGE OF THE COST. HOWEVER, OTHER 2005 DURANGO'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE WERE CORRECTED/REPAIRED AT DODGE'S EXPENSE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN # [XXX] MANUFACTURED MARCH 2005. EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AT LEAST A PINT TO A QUART SPRAYS OUT WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE SAME PROBLEM AS IN RECALL #NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000. I HAVE TALKED TO DEALERS AND CHRYSLER CORPORATE REPS WHO BLUNTLY TELL ME "NOTHING WE CAN DO..... YOUR'S WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER NOVEMBER 2004. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AND HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. MY FAMILY KNOWS WHO TO FILE SUIT AGAINST IF OR WHEN I GET BURNED UP. INCLUDING NHTSA. OBVIOUSLY DODGE HAS MORE PROBLEMS WITH MORE DURANGOS THAN THEY WANT TO ADMIT TO WITH THE FUEL SPLASH PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO TESTED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WILL BE CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 118,000.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 HEMI THAT MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED AT THE END OF MAY 2010. I HAVE ONLY HAD 5 MONTHS AND AFTER THE FIRST MONTH IT STALLED ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. TOOK 3 TIMES UNTIL IT DID START AND STAY STARTED. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY HUSBAND AND 3 KIDS. LUCKILY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD AND WAS ONLY GOING 10 MPH. SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART IT. IT STARTED UP FINE THAT TIME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS IN ANOTHER PARKING LOT AND IT WOULDN'T STAY STARTED WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. TOOK ANOTHER 3 TIMES BEFORE IT DID. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TODAY, OCTOBER 22, 2010. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND TRIED TO TURN TO GO UP THE HILL TO MY STREET WHEN I REALIZED I COULDN'T TURN OR STOP CAUSE MY VEHICLE CUT OFF AGAIN AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL SINCE I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO STOP SINCE I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST. THIS WAS MY LAST STRAW SINCE IF I DO WRECK IT WILL BE MY FAULT AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL OUT ON THIS SITUATION. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT WRONG AND THINKS I AM CRAZY SINCE IT CAN'T BE RECREATED. AFTER SEEING HOW THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE 2005, AS LONG AS THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPORTED AND GOT RECALLED, THAT THIS ISN'T RECALLED. THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS!!!! I HAVE 3 KIDS AND THIS CA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING A TURN. WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS ENGAGED, THE RIGHT TURN LIGHT FLASHED AS OPPOSED TO THE LEFT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHIFTING THE STEERING COLUMN UP OR DOWN, IT WOULD CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS INITIALLY OCCURRED SPORADICALLY BUT PROGRESSED INTO A FREQUENT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,750 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,846.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT WAS PURCHASED FROM CARS PLUS IN LENOIR, NC IN MARCH 2010. STARTING ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ALL POWER WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN IF YOU START AROUND A TURN OR HIT THE BRAKES. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME YOU TAKE A TURN OR HIT THE BRAKES. IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS IT HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER. YOU HAVE NO BRAKES AND NO POWER STEERING. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER TWICE AND SOMEONE ELSE ONCE. NOTHING PULLS UP ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. DODGE HAS TOLD ME THIS IS MY PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE ABOUT 800 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2005 DURANGOS ON THE COMPUTER, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS OUT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T WANT ANY INJURY TO COME TO MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILDREN. I AM PAYING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE AND DON'T WANT TO TRADE IT IN AND SOMEONE ELSE GET STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY GET INJURED DRIVING IT. I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE OPTIONS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TOLD ME I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND A DEFECT. I DON'T WANT TO TRADE MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND JUST PASS THE PROBLEM ALONG, BUT I NEED A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT TO DO WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2005 DURANGO HAS BEEN SHUTTING COMPLETELY OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE MECHANICS NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE A PROBLEM. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OTHERS AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY SUV WILL SHUT OFF. I HAVE FOUND A WEBSITE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE POSTED EXACTLY THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT I HAVE CONCERNING THEIR DODGE DURANGO'S. THE LINK IS HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/1999/ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE_SHUTS_DOWN_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML. *TR
