2005 Dodge Durango complaints

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I RECENTLY TOOK TO A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AS I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN PUMPING. FUEL SPILLS EVERYWHERE, ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THE PUMPS. AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS WELL AS FIRE SAFETY, THE DEALER RECOMMENDED I GET THE GAS TANK REPLACED. THEY REPORT NEVER HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH DURANGOS. I WENT HOME AND RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND A RECALL FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGOS AND FOUND A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THE RECALL IS FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM 10/13/2004-11/30/2004. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON 12/1/2004, ONE DAY AFTER THE CUT OFF FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED THE COMPANY AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS A SPARK COULD IGNITE THE FUEL SPILLED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND, AND THEY REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. *TR

MY DODGE 2005 SLT, 4.8L (74,000 MILES) HAS CONTINUED TO STALL AT STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL THINGS DONE(SPARK PLUGS, FUEL ADDITIVES, PREMIUM GAS, FUEL FILTER) TO THE CAR, BUT STILL CONTINUES. I AM UPSET TO SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT THIS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNERS IN THE SAME SITUATION WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I. *TR

THE GAS FILLER PIPE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SINCE IT WAS NEW. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, BUT THE FUEL WASHES BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS FIXED IN A RECALL PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE IN 2005 ACCORDING TO THEIR "COMPUTER RECORDS". OBVIOUSLY, FROM MY EXPERIENCE IN FILLING THE TANK, THE "RECALL FIX" DID NOT WORK--OR, WORSE, THE DEALER DID NOT DO THE FIX AS THEY CLAIMED. SPILLING GASOLINE IS DANGEROUS--DODGE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THIS REPAIR WORK, EVEN IF IT TAKES ANOTHER RECALL. *TR

GAS OVERFLOW PROBLEM WHEN FILLING UP 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED. IF I TRY TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK, I GET SPLATTERED WITH GASOLINE, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM RELATING TO 2005 DODGE DURANGO, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS OVERFLOWING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AS HE FILLS HIS TANK WITH GAS, FUEL RUSHES TO THE TOP AND SPILLS ONTO THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING UNDER LIGHT SNOW LOAD. DEALER REPLACED WIPER ASSEMBLY AT OUR EXPENSE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHUT OFF VALVE IN HER FUEL TANK DID NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. SHE NOTICED THE ISSUE ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. WHEN PLACING FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE AND USING THE AUTOMATIC DEVICE THAT SUPPORTS THE PUMP HANDLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPILL OUT AND SPLASH BACK BECAUSE THE VALVE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 09V003000 AND 05V034000. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CHECK AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,957 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 47,000.

OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO GAS TALK OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE ISSUE I DISCOVERED THERE IS A RECALL ON MODELS MADE THE MONTH PRIOR TO OURS. AFTER CONTACTING THE LOCAL SERVICE CENTER, I WAS TOLD TO CALL THE DODGE CORP. ONLY TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD HELP ME WITH. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT ON EVERY FILLUP COVERS THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WITH UP TO QUART, POSSIBLE MORE OF GASOLINE. I DID ATTEMPT TO CALL THE COMPANY ANOTHER TIME TO CORRECT THIS HOPING TO REACH ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL THAT MIGHT HELP. I WAS ALLOWED TO TALK WITH A FLOOR SUPERVISOR WHO ONCE AGAIN ASSURED ME THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP AT ANY GAS STATION, THE PUMP WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT SHOOTS OUT UNDER PRESSURE. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THAT I FILL UP FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST TEN FILL UPS. THERE ARE TWO RECALL CAMPAIGNS REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE, YET CHRYSLER DENIES MY CLAIM ON THE BASIS THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN EITHER CAMPAIGN. I SPOKE TO THE NHTSA OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION TODAY, AND THEY RECOMMENDED CONTACTING THE STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. PRESENTLY THERE ARE OVER 40 OTHER OUTSTANDING COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER IS SHIRKING ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THIS VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. BY THE WAY, IT IS CHRYSLER ALONE THAT DETERMINES THE APPLICABLE VIN NUMBERS. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SPILL GAS WHENEVER IT NEAR THE END OF FILLING CREATING A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD ALSO NOW WHEN EVER I AM COMING TO A STOP OF A SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE STALLS WHICH KILLS THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. TOTALLY UNSAFE AND WHEN YOU CALL CHRYSLER THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I AM NOT GOING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT ARE CLEARLY RECALL ITEMS. THE WEB IS LITTERED WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND NO ONE CARES. *TR

AT AROUND 38000 MILES WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE GAS SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE OF OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHEN THE TAKE GETS NEAR FULL WHEN REFUELING. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS THAT PARTICULAR PUMP, BUT WE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE, BUT ACCORDING TO THE DODGE WEB SITE, OUR 2005 DURANGO IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER WANTS AROUND $700 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD AS GAS SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND ME WHEN REFUELING. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND DODGE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE HELP! *TR

PURCHASED A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WITH THE HEMI. IT HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIMES AT RED LIGHTS WITH NO WARNING AND NO PATTERN TO THE STALLING. HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS WHO CLAIM THEY HAVE NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME IT HAS STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY BUT WITH A 7 MONTH OLD BABY I FEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WHEN NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM AND WITH AN INTERNET SEARCH HAVE FOUND THAT I'M NOT ALONE IN HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE IS BAD IMPROPER OPERATION AND FUEL SPIT BACK DURING REFUELING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WHEN I HEARD A CLUNK NOISE, THIS HAS BEEN PRECEDED BY 2-3 MONTHS OF A HIGH PITCHED SQUEAKING NOISE THAT THE MECHANICS COULD FIND NO CAUSE FOR. AFTER THE CLUNK THE VEHICLE MADE A WHOMPING RHYTHMIC NOISE WHILE I DROVE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I STARTED IT TO DRIVE TO THE REPAIR SHOP IT SHIFTED IN GEAR BUT WOULD GO NOWHERE. IT APPEARED THE REAR BRAKES WERE LOCKED. IT WA STOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANICS REPORT THAT THE PARKING BRAKE ON THE LEFT SIDE HAS BROKEN AND RESULTED IN JAMMING AND BREAKING OTHER COMPONENTS. MECHANIC ALSO REPORTS THE RIGHT SIDE APPEARS TO BE BROKEN AS WELL BUT HAS NOT DONE THE SAME AMT OF DAMAGE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FILLED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A FEW PARTS; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT DOES NOT REMEMBER WHICH ONES SPECIFICALLY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND THE REPAIR CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 69,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, A GUSH OF GASOLINE SPEWS FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY), ALTHOUGH THE SYMPTOMS WERE IDENTICAL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,500. UPDATED 03/23/09. *LJ UPDATED 03/24/09.*JB

WHEN I FILL OF THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS AFTER SHUT OFF. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 TIMES. ON JANUARY 26, 2009 DODGE FILED A NOTICE OF DEFECT ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THE COMPANY AND THE DEALERS SAY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

FUEL SPILLAGE REGULAR OCCURRENCE. THE TANK SAYS I AM ON NEARLY ON EMPTY, I GO TO THE STATION AND "FILL UP" THE PROBLEM COMES IN WHEN I GET CLOSE TO THE END. VENT SEEMS TO PREVENT FUEL TANK TO BE FILLED AND IT SPILLS ALL OVER SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS A RUSHING NOISE PUMP NOZZLE CLICKS AND GAS GOES EVERYWHERE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA THIS WOULD HAPPEN. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ONLINE I AM NOT ALONE. HTTP://WWW.FIXYA.COM/CARS/T592484-FUEL_OVERFLOW_RECALL_2005_DURANGO#SAMEPROBLEMCONTINUED I AM TOLD THAT IT PROBABLY NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK BY THE DEALER, I TYPE IN MY VIN AND IT SAYS IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I AM THINKING THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE CHECK VALVE NOT TO CLOSE ALSO CAUSES IT TO CLOSE OR STICK CLOSED AS WELL. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE FUEL THAT SPLASHES BACK WILL GET IN MY EYE OR CAUSE OTHER ISSUES LIKE A FIRE. I FIRST THOUGHT IT MAY BE A PUMP ISSUE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT NEARLY EVERY STATION I HAVE WENT TO. I AM ALSO CURIOUS HOW A 26 GALLON TANK CAN NEVER TAKE MORE THAN 20 GALLONS, I REALIZE THAT THERE IS A RESERVE BUT 6 GALLONS? PLEASE HELP ME AND THE OTHERS LISTED ON THE LINK I INCLUDED. WE CAN'T ALL BE CRAZY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH. PROBLEM 1: WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND FUEL COMES SHOOTING OUT THE TOP OF THE TANK. PROBLEM 2: WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERS ON AND OFF. I CHECKED THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ISSUED FOR BOTH OF THESE ISSUES THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THAT I HAVE TO CALL CHRYSLER. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER IS UNWILLING TO WORK FOR ANY DISCOUNTS AND THAT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY SERVICES. IN BOTH RECALL NOTICES IT STATES THAT THESE ISSUES ARE BOTH FIRE HAZARDS AND I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $1700 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO RESOLVE THEM, AS THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH 2005 DODGE DURANGOS. PLEASE HELP! *TR

FUEL SPIT-BACK DURING REFUELING: WHEN FILLING UP VEHICLE, GAS BACKFLOWS OUT OF GAS TANK AT THE END OF FUELING. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THERE IS A RECALL ON DURANGO OF SAME YEAR AND VINTAGE, BUT MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR DESIGN FLAW. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO RELEASES FUEL BACK OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER WHEN EVER I FILL UP I DO NOT TOP OFF DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR SOME OF THEIR DURANGOS OF THIS YEAR AND MAKE BUT THEY SAY MINE IS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH THE FUMES AND LIQUID COMING OUT OF MY FILLER NECK. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE THEY STATED I SHOULD SEE MY DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM .IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM GOES FURTHER THEN THEY ARE ADMITTING AND I WANT THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM

WHEN FILLING UP VEHICLE, GAS BACKFLOWS OUT OF GAS TANK AT THE END OF FUELING. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THERE IS A RECALL ON TRUCK MODEL BUT MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. *TR

GAS OVERFLOW WHEN TANK IS FILLED. *TR

THERE WAS NO LEAD UP, THE GAS TANK JUST STARTED OVERFLOWING AND IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE GAS PUMP WHEN FUELING THE TANK. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME THAT WE FILL UP USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF FEATURE ON A GAS PUMP. THE RESULT IS SEVERAL OUNCES (JUST A GUESS, BUT IT IS A LOT) OF GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK, ONTO THE GROUND AND EVEN SPLASHING ONTO AN UNSUSPECTING TRUCK OWNER. WE TOOK THE TRUCK INTO OUR DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN VINS OF THIS VEHICLE TYPE, BUT OURS IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR AS THE RECALL VEHICLES. THE ESTIMATE FOR A NEW FUEL TANK IS AROUND $800 AND OF COURSE THE WARRANTY WENT VOID A FEW THOUSAND MILES PRIOR TO THE MALFUNCTION WE ARE EXPERIENCING. IF DODGE KNOWS THERE ARE PROBLEMS ON SOME OF THE TRUCKS IN THE SAME YEAR THAT OURS WAS MANUFACTURED AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT, HOW CAN THEY NOT BE LIABLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM?? DODGE IS NOT WILLING TO FIX AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT, BUT REFUSE TO FIX IN REGARDS TO ALL OF THE TRUCKS AFFECTED. IT SEEMS AS IF NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE FUEL TANK DESIGN THAT THEY ADMIT WAS WRONG IN VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, JUST A FEW MONTHS OLDER. HOW IS THAT ETHICAL? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS. *TR

ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY, AFTER FILLING UP OUR DURANGO, IT SPRAYED FUEL ALL OVER MY WIFE. IT SEEMS EVERY TIME WE FILL UP OUR TRUCK, FUEL SPRAYS ALL OVER. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON HE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT A RECALL WAS ISSUED: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY FILLER PIPE AND CAP), BUT MY DURANGO VIN WAS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL WIRES. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SEVERAL SPARK PLUGS, AND COIL WIRES. AS OF JANUARY 30, 2009, ALL OF THE REMEDIES HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT IN CORRECTING THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I FILL UP MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS, THAT WHEN IT IS FULL AND THE PUMP STOPS, GAS COMES GUSHING OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE ASKED DODGE IF THERE IS A RECALL BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I HEARD AND THEY TOLD ME NO. I DID FIND THE RECALL INFO ON THIS WEB SITE AND I WANT TO KNOW IF MY VIN IS COVERED. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND I WANT THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE HAVE FAILED. THE FAILURE BEGAN TWO DAYS AGO, BUT NOW THEY HAVE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. SHE CALLED THE DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT HAVING HER VEHICLE REPAIRED AND WAS INFORMED THAT SHE WAS CUSTOMER NUMBER 681. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE TURN SIGNALS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

WHENEVER I FILL MY VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IT SPRAYS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THIS STARTED TO OCCUR IN NOVEMBER AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL IT. IT WAS REPAIRED AT A DODGE DEALER BY REPLACING THE GAS TANK. THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2005 FOR THIS AND AGAIN IN 2009 BUT WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS INCLUDED. *TR UPDATED 03/03/09. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH FUEL SPLASHING OUT WHEN I FILL THE TANK. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON SIMILAR VEHICLES, YET THE DODGE.COM WEBSITE SAYS MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS SITUATION IS VERY WORRISOME. I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANKS! *TR

DODGE DURANGO 2005, RECENTLY HAS BEGUN TO BLOW GAS OUT OF THE TANK AFTER FILLING. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE EXPLODES FROM THE TANK AND CONSTITUTES A NUISANCE AND A SERIOUS HAZARD DUE TO THE GAS SPILL. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 15 MPH. RECENTLY, I MADE A LEGAL U-TURN AND THE VEHICLE STALLED HALFWAY INTO THE TURN. BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH THE FULL TURN AND I WAS SITTING IN THE ROAD WITH CARS COMING HEAD ON. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND STARTED THE CAR AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND GOT OUT OF IMMEDIATE HARMS WAY. IT IS TRULY A MIRACLE THAT I WAS NOT HIT BY A VEHICLE HEAD ON WHERE CARS WERE COMING AT ME AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IF IT HASN'T HAPPEN ALREADY. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THIS IS MY PROOF OF TRYING TO GET A RECALL FOR A VERY SERIOUS MALFUNCTION. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED WITH GREAT CARE AND QUICKLY. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNERS WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME INCIDENT. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND I AM TRULY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL BUS OR TRUCK, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE FATALITIES. *TR

ON DEC 19 2008 AS I WAS DRIVING HOME DURING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE WIND SHIELD WIPER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND GOT TANGLED UP WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER THAT CONTINUED TO WORK NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY SO LUCKILY I WAS IN A PLACE WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER. I TRIED TO WAIT OUT THE STORM BUT IT WAS GETTING REALLY BAD SO I HAD TO DRIVE AT 20-30 MPH WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT THE BOLT HOLDING THE WIPER ARM WAS STRIPPED BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO GET INSPECTED, TO MY SURPRISE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE LINKAGE FOR THE WIPER SYSTEM. THE LINKAGE JUST BROKE OUT OF NOWHERE. OUR VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING HAPPENING ON NEW OR OLD VEHICLES OF ANY MAKE. THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THE LINKAGE BROKE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE PART WAS MADE. THE AMOUNT IT COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE CAME OUT TO $607.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT REPLACED TODAY. IT ALSO TOOK 7-10 DAYS TO ORDER AND SHIP THE PART TO THE REPAIR SHOP. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME MODEL PART SO THIS PROBLEM MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN WHICH IS NOT COMFORTING AT ALL. I ASKED TO TAKE THE BROKEN PART BACK TO SHOW PROOF OR A DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA THAT BROKE. SO IF NEEDED I CAN SEND THAT IN. *TR

THE FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE NOT FULLY CLOSE AND ALLOWS FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER NECK. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT WHEN I CALL THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED FOR THIS RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V034000. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER EVERYTIME I FILL MY TANK. *TR

THE CAR STALLED WHEN DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WHEN VERY BRIGHT, AND THEN THE CAR STALLED. I HAD TO RE-START IT. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE HIT MY CAR, I WASN'T IN AN INTERSECTION OR ON THE FREEWAY (I COMMUTE EVERY DAY ON IT WITH MY CHILD). WE WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO-MECHANIC. HE SAID THE ETS VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED IT FOR $344.16 HOWEVER, THOUGH HE KEPT IT AND DROVE IT, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO HIM AND HE SAID IT WOULD BE HARD TO BE 100% SURE IT THAT WAS REALLY THE ISSUE. IT WAS HIS BEST ANSWER. HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY A CAR THAT ONLY HAS 39K MILES ON IT AND IS 4 YEARS OLD WOULD DO THIS. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, THE PUMP WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHEN FULL AND THEN GAS SQUIRTS/SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILL TUBE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE OCTOBER 2008, I CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE AND IT STATED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH I DID FIND A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE UNDER THIS RECALL VINS ENDING 5F500001 TO 5F535219, MY VIN IS 5F503046 WHICH CLEARLY FALLS IN THAT RANGE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND FINDING SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I FELT AS THOUGH I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT. I AM GOING TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY ARE WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

FUEL SPIT BACK WHEN FILLING GAS TANK. JUST STARTED WITHIN THE WEEK. IT HAPPENED THE LAST TWO TIMES I FILLED MY TANK. I ASSUME IT HAS A BAD ROLL OVER VALVE OR FILL LIMIT VENT VALVE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROLL OVER VALVE AND WOULD BE APPROX. $250 TO FIX. 2005 DODGE DURANGO W/HEMI - 48,539 MILES. *TR

ENGINE JUST TURNS OFF WITH NO WARNING. STALLS FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD JUST PASSED A VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. IF FELT LIKE I HAD RUN OUT OF GAS THOUGH I KNEW I HAD PLENTY.

THIRD: HAD JUST STOPPED FOR STOP SIGN, SHUT OFF AS I ACCELERATED TO CROSS INTERSECTION. FOURTH: TAKING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL! TURNED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND ENGINE QUIT, THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO COAST THROUGH AND PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD. FIFTH: HAPPENED TODAY WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC PICKING KIDS UP AT SCHOOL.

PLEASE REFERENCE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : RQ08005. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A 2005 DODGE DURANGO , WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, AND AT THE TIME TANK IS FULL, THE BACK FLOW VALVE OF THE FILLER NOZZLE SEEMS TO BE STUCK OPEN AND DOES NOT CLOSE. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO BACK FLOW OUT OF THE TANK AND UNDER THE WHEEL WELL AND ONTO THE GROUND. ALSO IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED THAT GAS SPRAYS OUT A HIGH PRESSURE. I HAVE BEEN TOTALLY SOAKED BY THE FUEL BACK FLOW AND THE FUEL CONTACT ON MY SKIN/CLOTHING CAUSED IRRITATION . I HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM 3 TIMES AND NOW HAVE THE SUV IN THE DEALER SHOP FOR REPAIR. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO NHTSA RECALL NO. 05V-034, BUT THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 10/2005 AND OBVIOUSLY HAS THE DEFECT REPORTED BY THE RECALL. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT ONLY HAS 26K MILES ON IT, THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD BE REPAIRED VIA "GOODWILL" (BUT ONLY AFTER I THREATENED TO TAKE THE DEALERSHIP TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT OVER THE ISSUE...... REALLY, DEALERS NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING AND SHOULD FORMALLY RECALL ALL YEAR 2005 VEHICLES. I WAS PRETTY LUCKY NOT TO GET SPRAYED IN THE FACE WITH FUEL. IS IT NECESSARY TO WAIT FOR INJURIES BEFORE TAKING ACTION? *TR UPDATED 12/09/08. *JB

WHILE FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK (EVERY TIME), FUEL POURS OUT THROUGH THE FILLER NECK ONCE THE TANK IS FILLED. DEPENDING UPON THE TYPE OF FUEL PUMP BEING USED, FUEL EITHER RUSHES OUT AND DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR IT SQUIRTS OUT DANGEROUSLY WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FORCE.

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF GAS THEN OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS COVERED IN RECALL # 05V460000 BUT THE VIN ON THE VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. THERE IS ALSO AN ONGOING DEFECT INVESTIGATION WITH NHTSA ACTION # RQ08005. *TR

WHEN NEGOTIATING A RIGHT TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WOULD NOT TURN IN THE EXPECTED DIRECTION OF TRAVEL; THEREBY THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED INTO A DITCH. NO INJURIES TO DRIVER. NO DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER REVIEW OF THE VEHICLE FOR DAMAGE, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE APPEARED TO BE SEVERELY MISALIGNED AND BROKEN FROM THE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY.

AFTER GETTING MY RECALL DONE REFERENCE # GO7 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.

I CALL CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING OF THIS RECALL. I TOLD THEM MY PROBLEM BUT TO NO AVAIL. THEY CAN'T HELP ME. THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND GET A DIAGNOSTIC. BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $65.00 PER HOUR FOR DIAGNOSTICS.

THE COMPLAINT I HAVE IS ABOUT THE WIRELESS REMOTE KEY FOR THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE REMOTE STOPPED WORKING AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND I WAS ADVISED I NEEDED TO BUY A NEW KEY. I OPENED THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND NOTICED ONE OF THE CONTACTS FROM THE BATTERY TO THE ACTUAL CIRCUIT BOARD HAD BROKEN OFF. I FIXED THAT PROBLEM BY USING ADHESIVE BUY NOW THE KEY IS NOT PROGRAMMED. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE TO SOLVE THAT. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THAT IS WHY I BELIEVE THE WIRELESS REMOTE KEYS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. *TR
