2005 Dodge Durango complaints

I HAVE ALREADY FILED THIS COMPLAINT BUT NEVER GOT ANY RESOLUTION AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THE ENGINE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE YOUR WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION EA05018. IT IS NOW AT THE MECHANIC AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM SO FAR. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND IF THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT I WANT TO KNOW WHY CHRYSLER/DODGE OR THE ODI CANNOT OFFER A FIX IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SAFETY IS FURTHER COMPROMISED? *TR

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

2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL OVERFLOW/SPLASH. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I NOTICED THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN REFUELING WHICH CAUSE A GREAT AMOUNT OF FUEL TO SPLASH BACK AT THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD BY DODGE THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND IT WOULD COST ME $600 PLUS TO FIX. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER RECENTLY AND WAS TOLD THE SAME. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE! BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : RQ08005. *TR

MY VEHICLE STARTED FEW MONTHS AGO TO SQUIRT GAS OUT OF THE TANK ONCE THE PUMP CLICKED OFF AT THE GAS STATION. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RECALLS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM 05V34000 AND 09V003000 FOR A 2005 DODGE DURANGO, WHICH I OWN. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES AFFECTED. I ASKED THE PERSON HOW I WOULD GET MY VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL HE THEN TOLD ME TO GO GET A DIAGNOSTICS CHECK AND ACCUSED ME OF CAUSING THE PROBLEM BY PUTTING A MARBLE IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE DESIGN AND A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I CONTINUE TO DUMP GAS ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT WILL JUST SHUT OFF ON ME WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED THE OTHER DAY WHEN I TRIED TO TURN ON MY ROAD AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR POWER. I CALLED DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS COMING ON THEY CAN NOT GET A CODE. I HAVE READ AND READ ABOUT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WHO OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO..AND DODGE ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES WITH ME EVERYDAY AND IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR HER AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW!! *TR

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 DRIVING MY 05 DODGE DURANGO WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD IN HIS CARSEAT IN THE BACKSEAT AND HAD JUST TURNED LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT, WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT THE ENGINE STALLED (SHUT OFF) CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS WELL. COASTED INTO A PARKING STALL AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. VERY UNSAFE AND APPARENTLY VERY COMMON IN THIS YEAR,MAKE, AND MODEL. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO (34,000) MILES. GAS OVER FLOWS FROM GAS TANK TAKE WHEN FILLING. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. A REAL FIRE HAZARD ! *TR

WHILE COMMUTING THIS MORNING TO WORK, I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, AS I STARTED TO BRAKE, I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AT THAT POINT I REALIZED MY ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF AND I HAD LOST MY POWER BRAKES/POWER STEERING. AS THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST WITH NO WARNING - AS IT DID THIS TIME, I KNEW I COULD PUT MY ENGINE INTO NEUTRAL AND RE-START MY ENGINE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN ANY SORT OF SERIOUS TRAFFIC AND HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO GET MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENTS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE PAST WITH DODGE AND HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

THE CAR (DODGE DURANGO 05) TOTALLY DIES AT ANY RANDOM TIME, THE STEERING LOCKS AND EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH OR TWO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN TOWN. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET HIT LAST WEEK FROM BEHIND..I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR TO WARN TRAFFIC COMING OFF A HILL TOWARDS MY DEAD CAR, THAT I WAS DISTRESSED AND TO GO AROUND.....WE PURCHASED THIS CAR 3 1/2 MONTHS AGO. TOOK TO THE DODGE DEALER AND HAD THEM GO THRU IT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG. THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND DROVE IT...I CAN NO LONGER FEELS SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR

FUEL SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT FROM THE NECK OF TANK (WHERE PUMP GOES INTO CAR) WHEN FUELING IS COMPLETE IF TANK IS PUMPED UNTIL FULL. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2009 AND HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM ABOUT 6-12 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR (I HAVE ADDED ABOUT 8,000 MILES TO THE CAR OVER THIS TIME). I CONTACTED THE DEALER AS WELL WAS CHRYSLER, WHO BOTH STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLE. THE CONTACT STATED WHENEVER SHE WOULD REFILL THE VEHICLE WOULD GASOLINE; THE FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER VALVE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO EXHIBIT AN ABNORMAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE GAS CAP, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND THE IDLE SENSORS BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V00300 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY) BUT WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, SHE WAS TOLD HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND STATED THEY WOULD ASSIST WITH PARTIAL REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,233.

I AM SENDING THIS IN DUE TO THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER HASN'T TRIED TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH ME. WE TRIED TO TALK TO THEM LAST APRIL ABOUT A ISSUE WITH MY GAS TANK AND IT NOT CLOSING LIKE IT SHOULD AND THAT IT WAS ON A RECALL AND WHEN THIS WAS PRESENTED TO THEM THEY PRETTY MUCH WANTED TO MAKE US HELP PAY FOR IT WHICH UPSET ME WHEN WE HAVE THE CLIP FROM THE PAPER ABOUT THE RECALL. IT IS TERRIBLE WHEN I GO TO THE GAS STATION AND I HAVE TO WATCH MY GAS TANK AND AM NERVOUS ABOUT IT SPRAYING ALL OVER ME WHICH IT HAS DONE TO ME. AND I AM SORRY BUT THAT IS NOT OKAY AND HOW WASTEFUL IS THAT AND THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR IT TO BE ON THE GROUND LIKE THATWHEN I START MY VEHICLE. AND LIKE MY HUSBAND IF THERE WOULD EVER BE A SPARK OR SOMEONE SMOKING THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR MY SITUATION. I COULD USE SOME HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER AT ALL ON CHRYSLERS PART. I HEARD CHRYSLER HAS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT TO ME THIS IS REALLY BAD. I KNOW THAT ALOT OF CAR FACTORIES ARE STRUGGLING BUT THIS IS NOT HOW TO DO GOOD BUSINESS AND I WILL NOT BUY ANYMORE VEHICLES FROM THEM IF THEY TREAT THERE CUSTOMERS POORLY AND UNFAIRLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND I FEEL THEY DO NOT CARE. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO- GAS OVERFLOW PROBLEM WHILE FUELING OCCURS EVERYTIME PUMPING. STARTED 2/10/10. *TR

FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN AS MANY MONTHS, MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THIS PAST FEBRUARY, I HAD THE DEALER PUT IN NEARLY $2000 WORTH OF WORK IN ADDITION TO FIXING THE RECALLED ISSUES OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND FUEL TANK. THE POWER LOSS HAPPENED AFTER THIS AND AFTER HAVING TAKEN IT BACK ONCE TO THE DEALER I WILL NOT TAKE IT TO THEM AGAIN DUE TO POOR SERVICE. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE CAR, BUT NOTHING COMES UP. THE CAR SIMPLY LOSES POWER AND I AM FORCED TO TRY TO STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, AND START IT UP AGAIN. NO "CHECK ENGINE" OR OTHER WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THIS CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD, VERY WELL MAINTAINED, AND HAS ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT. IF SOMEONE FROM NHTSA CARES TO CHECK ON THE EDMUNDS.COM FORUM, THEY WILL NOTE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THE HEMI 5.7 ENGINE ON THE DURANGO. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE NHTSA TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN GASOLINE WAS ADDED TO THE FUEL TANK IT WOULD SPILL ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DODGE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED TO FILE A CLAIM SINCE THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST HIM. THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS OR WARRANTIES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 85,000.

WHEN I FILL MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL TANK, I GET A SPLASH BACK OF FUEL. THIS HAPPENS MORE THAN 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME WHEN I FILL MY TANK. IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN I REFUEL WITHOUT FILLING THE TANK. I AM AWARE OF A RECALL(DATED 2009-01-08) THAT COVERED THIS ISSUE FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO, BUT I WAS ADVISED BY MY LOCAL DEALER AND BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. I AM TOLD REPAIR WILL COST ME IN EXCESS OF $800. MY PROBLEM MATCHES EXACTLY THAT OF THE RECALL NOTICE AND FEEL I SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THIS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT REPAIR. *TR

ALARM/KEY FOB FAILS TO ACTIVATE DUE TO DEFECT IN SOLDERING OF BATTERY HOLDER TO CIRCUIT BOARD. FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. THE BATTERY HOLDER IN 2004-2006 DODGE KEYS COMES APART FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD, MAKING THE KEY NOT WORK, AND STRANDING YOU WHERE EVER YOU HAPPEN TO BE. WHEN YOU OPEN THE KEY, YOU SEE THE BATTERY HOLDER OUT OF WHERE IT WAS ATTACHED TO THE 'MOTHERBOARD', AND CAN PUSH IT BACK IN AND MAKE THE KEY WORK, BUT IT'S ONLY A TEMP FIX AS IT KEEPS COMING APART. *TR

THE TRUCK LOSES ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING AND STALLS. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY GIVEN TIME IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS, LOW TRAFFIC AREAS AND AT ALL SPEEDS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THE DEALER STATES THAT IT IS THE EGR VALVE. THIS APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY DURANGO ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. ONCE IT SHUTS OFF I TOTALLY LOOSE ALL POWER STEERING/POWER BRAKES. IT HAPPENS TOTALLY AT RANDOM, SOMETIMES IT WILL HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO MONTHS IN BETWEEN INCIDENTS. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AS OF YET, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NEAR MISSES, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON WINDY ROADS, WHEN LACK OF POWER STEERING IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO HAS STATED THAT DUE TO THE RANDOMNESS OF THE ISSUE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT, CHARGING ME $80.00/HOUR TRYING TO EVEN REPLICATE THE ISSUE, NO CODES WERE ABLE TO BE FOUND. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS IS NOT JUST AN ISSUE WITH MY DODGE, BUT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AROUND 40,000 ON MY VEHICLE, OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. ONCE THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF, I AM ABLE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT WILL START BACK UP FINE AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO, HOOD OF VEHICLE CAME LOOSE AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. *BF OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT # 10-0282-90. *JB

2005 DODGE DURANGO: STARTING AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES, OR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, WHENEVER WE TOPPED OFF THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE WOULD SPURT BACK UP OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AT THE END OF THE FILL WHEN THE PUMP KICKED OFF. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE TANK. FILLING UP OUR OTHER VEHICLE AT THE SAME PUMP DOES NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. FILLING UP OUR DURANGO AT ANY PUMP RELIABLY REPRODUCES THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR SLOW TURNS THE VEHICLE STALLS. HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. *TR

FUEL FILLER NECK ON VEHICLE, SPRAYS GASOLINE DURING FILL UP- ABOUT 1- 2 CUPS EACH TIME. DODGE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX UNDER THE 2 RECALLS- CHRYSLER HAS BASICALLY SAID TOUGH. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN COMPLETED PUMPING GAS INTO THE VEHICLE AND REMOVING THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE, THE GAS COMES SHOOTING BACK OUT OF THE TANK. SUV WAS TAKEN BACK TO PLACE OF PURCHASE AND A NEW GAS TANK WAS INSTALLED IN APPROX. BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 2009.. THE PROBLEM IS NOW OCCURRING AGAIN IN JUNE EACH TIME GAS IS PUMPED INTO THE VEHICLE.. LOOKED UP ONLINE RECALLS ON VEHICLE. THERE IS A RECALL ON VEHICLE FOR THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL FOR FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE: AND CAP.. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER PHONE # I WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS VIN # SPECIFIC AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER HE FILLED THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT. THE DEALER INSTALLED THREE FUEL TANKS BUT THEY WERE DEFECTIVE AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED AND REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,520. UPDATED 7/20/10 *CN UPDATED 07/23/10*JB

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH I BOUGHT NEW. ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, IT STARTED SPILLING FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERYTIME I FILL IT. THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF BUT A GREAT DEAL OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER EVERYTHING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID ALTHOUGH SOME 2005 DURANGOS WERE COVERED UNDER RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, MINE WASN'T. HE SUGGESTED I FILL THE TANK SLOWER. NOW I KNOW WHY THIS DEALER ISN'T A 5-STAR DEALER. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE DURANGO WAS ELIMINATED WHEN DODGE DOWNSIZED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL SPILLED OUT WHENEVER HE ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE TANK. HE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY) AND HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR COSTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WAS INADEQUATE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

ANY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK UP ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHEN THE TANK GETS CLOSE TO FULL THE FUEL DOESN'T STOP AND IT SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK GROUND AND MYSELF. I T HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS SO I HAVE ELIMINATED THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT IS THE PUMP. GAS STATION ATTENDANTS GET UPSET WHENEVER YOU SPILL GASOLINE BECAUSE OF THE CLEANUP PROCEDURE AND I AM ALSO UPSET AS IT'S GAS I HAVE PAID FOR BUT CAN'T USE. THE DEALER TELLS ME MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL H-45 AND THE COST TO REPLACE THE TANK IS IN EXCESS OF $650.00. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGOS FUEL TANK SPEWS FUEL ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN I AM FINISHING A FILL UP. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THAT I FILL MY TANK FULL. I SEE THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGOS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT THE RECALL DOESN'T INCLUDE MY VIN. IF A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM IT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF EVERY AFFECTED VEHICLE. IT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL! *TR

EACH AND EVERYTIME OUR VEHICLE IS REFUELED GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ..WE HAVE FOUND RECALLS OF 2005 DODGE DURANGOS SUCH AS OURS BUT ACCORDING TO DODGE OUR SUV IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES COVERED FOR THE RECALL. THERE ANSWER TO US IS OH JUST TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND SEND US THE BILLS AND MAYBE WE WILL PAY FOR IT.. WE FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED ION THE RECALL AS IT DOES FALL WITHIN THE RECALLS OF 2005 DURANGOS. *TR
