MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SUV HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN IN RAINY OR WET CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME IN NOVEMBER 2007 ON REGULAR SURFACE STREETS WHILE IT WAS RAINING AND MY WIFE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO RE-START IT FOR OVER 2 MINUTES IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE SECOND TIME ON OR ABOUT 3/11/08 MY WIFE WAS TURNING RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION IN RAINY CONDITIONS AND THE ENGINE STALLED MID TURN AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO RE-START THE ENGINE FOR OVER 2 MINUTES IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE THIRD TIME OCCURRED 5/6/08 ON REGULAR SURFACE STREETS DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD IN RAINY CONDITIONS AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RE-STARTED FOR AT LEAST 2 MINUTES. ALL 3 OCCURRENCES INVOLVED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE CONTROLS WHILE OUR CHILDREN WERE PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO ALLAN SAMUELS DODGE IN ALLIANCE TEXAS AFTER THE 2ND INCIDENT FOR WARRANTY COVERED DIAGNOSIS AND THEY INFORMED ME AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT FOR A FULL DAY THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AFTER THE 3RD INCIDENT AND AFTER HAVING IT FOR 2 FULL DAYS THEY ARE STILL ADVISING ME THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND ARE NOT RECOMMENDING ANY COURSE OF ACTION TO CORRECT IT. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED ON THE VEHICLE TO MY KNOWLED

I PURCHASED MY DURANGO IN FEB. 08 AND THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER. I WAS TAKING MY 3 CHILDREN TO SCHOOL MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT WHEN I SUDDENLY COULD NOT HARDLY TURN MY STEERING WHEEL , I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND REALIZED THAT MY ENGINE HAD STALLED. THEN I RESTARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY. I CALLED THE CAR DEALERSHIP TO REPORT IT. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I TOOK IT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE BREAKS WORKED ON AND MENTIONED THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND THEY SAID WITHOUT AN ENGINE LIGHT ON THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER MY BREAK WORK WAS COMPLETED I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP TO GO HOME AND ON MY WAY UP A HILL BEHIND A SEMI TRUCK GOING SLOW ABOUT 15 MPH MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A VAN. I TURNED AROUND TO HEAD BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT THE DASH LIGHT BEING ON. SO I PRECEDED TO GO HOME. ABOUT A WEEK OR SO LATER AGAIN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN. HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN 180 MILES ROUND TRIP. I SPENT 6 HOURS WAITING FOR THEM TO FIX IT AND THEY COULD NOT SO THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY AND ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD MY ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON AND MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SHOW THEM KNOW THE LIGHT IS ON. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I RETURNED HOME. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM HAD

PREMATURE RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT FAILURE. THE JOINT FELL APART WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING BETWEEN 15 AND 30 MPH.

I WAS CONTACTED BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER, STATING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL, AND TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR DEALER. I SCHEDULED THE APPOINT FOR THE RECALL AND FOR ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE. I INVESTIGATED THE RECALLS, AND FOUND 2: A POTENTIAL INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILURE, AND A PROBLEM WITH FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE INLET DURING REFUELING. I SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT, AND OFF THE DURANGO ON 2-26-08. THE NEXT DAY, MIKE (FROM OUR DEALER) CALLED AND SAID THAT THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. HE STATED THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER SOMETIMES MADE MISTAKES LIKE THIS WITH RECALLS. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE ONLY RECALL THE DURANGO WAS ELIGIBLE FOR WAS FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE THE RECALL FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE INLET VALVE DID NOT APPLY TO VEHICLES MADE AFTER 10-12-2004 - OURS WAS MADE 10-15-05. I EXPLAINED TO MIKE THAT THE DURANGO HAD THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT WAS THE SUBJECT OF THE RECALL. JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, MY WIFE WAS DOUSED WITH GAS AS SHE FILLED THE DURANGO - GAS ESCAPES FREQUENTLY WHEN FILLING UP. MIKE SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO, EXCEPT PERFORM THE REPAIR - THE EXACT SAME THING THE RECALL WAS FOR, BUT AT MY EXPENSE, AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLER CHYRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER TWICE AFTER I FOUND DOCUMENTATION ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, FROM DAIMLERCHRYSLER TO NHTSA, STATING THAT ALL DURANGOS FROM VIN 5F500001 TO 5F535219 WOULD BE RECALLED. THE VIN ON MY DURANGO IS 5F529730 - WE

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 $600 REPAIR BILL FOR A DESIGN/PART FLAW THAT THEY DID NOT CORRECT AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR
