TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V092000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.
ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO 4LO LIGHT STARTED FLASHING THEN WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF I CAN HEAR SHIFTING INTO AND OUT OF 4WD. HAD IT CHECKED FOR CODES AND THEY FOUND NONE. NOW AS I WAS DRIVING IT LOCKED INTO 4LO VEHICLE MADE A POPPING SOUND AND STALLED.RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP BUT NOW I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR DUE TO FEAR OF IT DOING THIS AGAIN.
WHILE DRIVING AT VARIABLE SPEEDS MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 5.7L TRUCK, WITHOUT WARNING, WILL SHUT-OFF MAKING IT HARD TO STOP & STEER TO SAFETY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE MOST RECENT & SEVERE TIME WAS YESTERDAY, I WAS AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH ON 695 WHEN MY DURANGO SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING A ACCIDENT. MY DODGE WAS ABLE TO RESTART WITHOUT WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING OR INDICATION BUT WILL RANDOMLY SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING AT LEAST 4-6 TIMES A WEEK WHILE DRIVING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPEWED BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL FILLER NECK BECAME INOPERABLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
WHILE DRIVING, 4LOCK STARTS FLASHING AND THE 4WHEEL DRIVE GOES IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OCCASIONS AND I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE.
MORE THAN A GALLON OF FUEL SPILLS OUT IF YOU FILL UP THE GAS TANK
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIRS WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK ONCE THE TANK IS FULL AND AFTER THE PUMP HANDLE HAS DETECTED THE TANK BEING FULL AND HAS SHUT OFF. I UNDERSTAND FROM TALKING TO THE LOCAL DEALER, CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MANY COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET THAT CHRYSLER RECALLED CERTAIN 2005 DURANGO'S MADE IN SPECIFIC PLANTS WITH SPECIFIC PARTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT OUR DURANGO WAS NOT RECALLED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES WERE RECALLED WHEN OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WERE NOT RECALLED. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN FOR US. GASOLINE GETS ON US AND OUR CLOTHES OUR SKIN AND ON THE GROUND. COULD START FIRE IF A SPARK WAS NEARBY. A NEW TANK COST $1300 PLUS LABOR WHICH WE CAN'T AFFORD. PLEASE HELP US STAY SAFE.
WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK UP GAS COMES BACK OUT THE GAS TANK AND GOES ON THE GROUND AND GETS ON THE VEHICLE AND ON CLOTHING. I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS GAS STATIONS AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOT, BUT THEY HAVE RECALLS ON THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MINE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND HEALTH ISSUE BECAUSE THE GAS COMES IN CONTACT WITH YOUR SKIN AND RISK OF FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS WHEN THE GAS GOES ON THE GROUND.
2005 DURANGO AWD 5.7; THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR IS SWITCHING ON ITS OWN REGARDLESS OF THE VEHICLE BEING ON OR OFF. IT OCCASIONALLY ACTUATES WHEN UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE WITH THE REMOTE. MOST OF THE TIME IT ACTUATES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETIMES THE DASH LIGHT WILL BLINK 4LO OTHER TIMES 4LOCK. USUALLY AFTER A BIT OF BLINKING THE SVC 4WD LIGHT WILL COME ON. ONCE IT IS IN 4WD, IT IS HARD TO STEER. A COUPLE OF INSTANCES, IT HAS SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, ONCE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION. I HAD TO GET HELP JUST TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS BLOGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE, THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE FOR THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS. IF THIS ISN'T GROUNDS FOR A RECALL I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

MY CAR REPEATEDLY CUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. I NOTICED THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MODEL AS I HAVE WHICH A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I DID MY RESEARCH AND IT WAS IDENTIFIED BY DODGE AS A LOW MANEUVER ISSUE. ONE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENS A FEW DAYS AGO WAS THAT MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON A CURVE WHILE MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY LUCK THAT IT WAS A CAR BEHIND ME AND THEY WERE NOT GOING FAST. MY CAR SHUT OFF AND I LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN TRY TO START THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SINCE 2006.
HUMBLE ISD WE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO HAVE A DODGE DURANGO SERVICED AT TEXAN DODGE HERE IN HUMBLE, TX FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. WE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER TO HAVE THIS WORK DONE, & THE DEALER HERE HAS FAILED MISERABLY TO SERVICE THE RECALL. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AMANDA ON 7/30 & A RICHARD ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THEY WERE TO GET BACK WITH ME TO SCHEDULE THIS REQUIRED SERVICE. TEXAN DODGE ADDRESS: 18555 EASTEX FWY, HUMBLE, TX 77338 PHONE:(281) 359-7100
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,793.
MY DURANGO HAS STARTED TO SWITCH TO 4WHEEL DRIVE ON IT'S OWN WHILE I'M DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING. IT MAKES STEERING AND MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.
I TURNED LEFT SHARPLY INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME UPON DOING THIS. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND PARK THE VEHICLE. FOR THE PREVIOUS 3 WEEKS OR SO THE VEHICLE HAS SPUTTERED AND BEEN SLUGGISH WHEN TURNING SHARPLY INTO PARKING SPOTS OR AROUND SHARP CORNERS BUT HAS NEVER STALLED. 8/19/15 WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLING.
THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO SWITCH ITSELF INTO 4WD WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, USUALLY DURING OR SHORTLY AFTER AN EXTENDED TURN SUCH AS A RAMP. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON BUT I BELIEVE BASED ON THE WAY IT DRIVES THAT IT MUST BE IN 4LO. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN 4WD IT WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE 4WD SWITCH AND SO FAR IT HAS TAKEN TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF TO DISENGAGE THE 4WD.THE SVC 4WD LIGHT HAS COME ON 3-4 TIMES, BUT NOT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OTHER ISSUE, AND NOT FOR MORE THAN 2 MINUTES AT A TIME.
THE CAR DINT SHOW ANY SING OF HAVING PROBLEM STARING OR STALLING OR NOTHING THE ENGINE JUST MADE A BIG NOISE LIKE SOMETHING BLEW UP AND EVERYTHING SHUT OFF. I AM GLAD I DINT HAD MY KIDS WITH AT THE TIME CUZ I WAS DRIVING ALL DAY AND THE TRUCK WAS FINE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE HOW IT JUST BLEW UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND FOR ONLY HAVING 105 MILES ON IT ITS TOO SOON WHEN EVERYTHING WAS DONE IN TIME.
IT IS SWITCHING BETWEEN AWD 4X4 LO AND HIGH ON ITS OWN. BACKING UP IT FELT LIKE A SPRING PROPELLING ME FORWARD. FEARING THAT I COULD LOSE CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY. MECHANIC IS LOOKING INTO LOWER THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE ISSUE BUT ONLINE I FOUND A FORUM UNDER TOPIX AND THE ISSUE WAS VERY CLEARLY A $200 PART THAT CAN BE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED IN UNDER AN HOUR OF LABOR. ITS THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCH WHICH HAS ALL THE SYMPTOMS MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING.

FOR MANY MONTHS DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY SPONTANEOUSLY. (I CALLED THEM THEN WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON THE NEWS) I FINALLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND IT ADVISED ME OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM BUT THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT FOR AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAVE HEARD REPORTS THAT IT COULD BE 2 YEARS BEFORE IT MAY BE FIXED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A RIDICULOUS LENGTH OF TIME TO SECURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. IS IT POSSIBLE TO EXPEDITE THIS REPAIR OR TO MAKE MY CAR A PART OF THE NEW DECISION AGAINST CHRYSLER TO BUY BACK THE CAR? THERE WASN'T A SPECIFIC INCIDENT THAT PROMPTED MY COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. *TR

WHEN FUELING MY DURANGO APPROACHING THE 90% CAPACITY, GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE FUEL TANK CAUSING FUEL SPRAY ALSO ADDITIONAL RUST DAMAGE ON MY FENDER UNDER THE FUEL DOOR.
WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK, WHEN THE PUMP KICKS OFF FUEL SPITS BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK ON THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE, AND ME (IF I AM STANDING CLOSE). I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND CONVERSATIONS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. SOME ARE REFERENCED BELOW: NHTSA INVESTIGATION #RQ08005 LED TO RECALL #09V003000 NHTSA REFERENCE #10051769: TSB #SB-14-002-13; CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN #CSC-10051769-3696 WARRANTY BULLETIN #D-13-09: SUBJECT: (X48) FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE (FUEL FILLER TUBE) PURPOSE OF BULLETIN: TO ANNOUNCE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE ON 2005-2006 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES STATING: "THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION COVERAGE IS UNLIMITED TIME AND MILES." I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BENCHMARK-CHRYSLER-DODGE-JEEP-RAM, 1313 GRANTS MILL WAY, BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA 35210, (205) 957-1313 FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED ME UP FRONT THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED $105 TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT I WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF THE PROBLEM WAS COVERED UNDER ANY RECALLS OR WARRANTIES. AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO START BY REPLACING THE FILLER NECK AND IF THAT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THEY SAID THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY NOR THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AFTER LEAVING BENCHMARK I HAD TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE AND I VIDEOED THE FUEL SPIT-BACK WHEN THE PUMP SHUT OFF. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS DOCUMENTED THAT THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS YEAR AND MODEL VE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
MY DURANGO HAS STARTED TO ENGAGE INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON ITS OWN. IT DOES THIS WHEN PARKED AND WHEN DRIVING. IT NOW IS STUCK IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND CANNOT DRIVE ON THE PAVEMENT. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY DODGE.
I PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE AND COULD FEEL THAT IT HAD SHIFTED INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF. THE DASH WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY ON THE DRY PAVEMENT. AFTER PARKING AND SHUTTING DOWN THE VEHICLE I COULD HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR SHIFT THE TRANSFER CASE WITH NO KEY IN THE VEHICLE. NOW I HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCHING MODES AFTER THE VEHICLE IS SHUT DOWN, AND IT HAS SHIFTED TO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AT LEAST TWO MORE TIMES ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE TRANSFER CASE CHANGES FROM AWD TO 4HI AND 4LO WITHOUT THE SWITCH BEING MOVED. THIS HAS MOST OFTEN HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, BUT WHEN SWITCHING TO 4LO CAUSES DIFFICULTY STEERING DUE TO THE FRONT WHEELS BEING LOCKED TOGETHER. TWICE I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PARKING DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCHING BETWEEN MODES WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AT HIGHER SPEEDS.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
