2005 Dodge Durango complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SWITCHED INDEPENDENTLY TO DRIVE AND IMMEDIATELY DECELERATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE 4X4 SYSTEM SHIFTED INTO 4WD LO NEARLY CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL. WHEN PARKED AND NOT RUNNING VEHICLE WAS HEARD MAKING A CLICKING SOUND NEAR THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE, THE SOUND WAS THE SAME AS WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 4WD MODE. SAME SOUND, SHIFTING INTO 4WD MODE WAS REPEATED WHEN PRESSING UNLOCK ON THE KEY FOB WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, NOT RUNNING, WITHOUT EVEN THE KEY IN IGNITION.... I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED THAT THE DEFECT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY IF THE 4WD SYSTEM DECIDES TO ENGAGE AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME...UPDATED 09/11/15 *BF UPDATED 10/13/15*JS

I HAVE NOT HAD A ACCIDENT THANK GOD. I BROUGHT MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO FEBRUARY2, 2015. MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT WITH IN THE PAST 2 MONTH I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY TANK DROPPED 3 TIMES NOW I HAVE TO HAVE IT DROPPED AGAIN SO THIS WILL BE THE FORTH TIME &MY TRUCK WIL NOT START &THE PUMP IS NOT COMING ON. I GOT A LETTER ABOUT THE AIRBAGS RECALLS, MY QUESTION IS HAVE IT EVER BEEN A RECALL ON THE COMPUTER OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR THIS SUV? I THINK MY WHOLE FUEL SYSTEM IS MESSED UP CAUSE WHEN I GO TO FILL IT UP GAS COME SHOTTING BACK OUT THE TANK AT ME & I SEE IT WAS A RECALL ON THAT & I HAVE NOT RECIEVED MY LETTER TO GO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP

VEHICLE THROTTLE STUCK IN DRIVE AS DRIVER WAS PULLING FORWARD TO BACK UP INTO GARAGE. VEHICLE PLUNGED FORWARD 20 FEET, HIT AN OVERHEAD DOOR AND BUMPER GUARD CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. AIRBAG LACERATED, ABRAISED AND BRUISED LEFT FOREARM OF DRIVER,[XXX], REQUIRING EMERGENCY ROOM TREATMENT AT MERCY MEDICAL 301 ST. PAUL STREET, BALTIMORE, MD 21202. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND CLAIM FILED WITH GEICO CLAIM # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM OF "FUEL SPITTING", WHICH MY VEHICLE DOES. THIS MODEL WAS UNDER RECALL CHRYSLER H45, BUT NOT MY VIN #. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? IT IS A FIRE HAZARD AND IS RUINING BODY COMPONENTS WHEN THE FUEL SPITS BACK. PLEASE ADD THIS VIN TO THE RECALL LIST SO I CAN GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AT CHRYLER'S EXPENSE. THANKS

I'M CONTACTING YOU IN REGARDS TO MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I HAVE ENCOUNTERED IT STALLING MAKING TURNS, DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND AT LIGHTS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AFTER HAVING A TUNE UP ON THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I HAVE PRINTED OFF FROM SEVERAL SITES THE COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHRYSLER/DODGE. I HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FINDING THAT THE ISSUE IS THE EGR SYSTEM. THE SAME THING WITH THE AIR BAG ISSUE THAT I'M RECEIVING, I'LL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND GET AN ALERT THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS TURNED OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. THERE IS TWO RECALLS IN PLACE NOW FOR AIR BAG ISSUES. I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS AND REACH OUT TO CHRYSLER TO GET THIS RESOLVED FOR CONSUMERS. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD HIGH IDLE THEN WHEN PUT IN GEAR IT WOULD NOT TAKE GAS AND WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND TURNING THE KEY OFF AND TAKING IT OUT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE PLEASE THIS SCARES ME ALOT. *TR

WHEN YOU GO TO PUT GAS IN IT THE GAS WONT SHUT OFF AND I HAVE AN INSIDE LIGHT THAT SAYS GAS CAP EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND I HAVE RUST WHERE THE GAS HAS RUN DOWN THE CAR. IM ALSO HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY GAUGES IN THE VEHICLE AND IT TAKES SPELLS THAT IT DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE GAS. *TR

THE GAS WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE. GAS RUNS OUT ON THE GROUND. I HAVE A LIGHT THAT COMES ON SAYING GAS CAP EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT A NEW ONE. AND I HAVE RUST ON THE SIDE WHERE GAS HAS RUN DOWN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IN MY VEHICLE HAS WENT CRAZY. LIGHTS FLASHING GAUGES MALFUCTIONING AND AT THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT TAKE ANY FUEL YOU COULD PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR ALL YOU WANTED BUT IT WOULD NOT TAKE FUEL. I HAVE READ WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEIR GAS REFUELING TO. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS AND I WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE PLEASE. I THINK THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISTAKES AND THIS IS CLEARLY THEIR MISTAKE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE, FUEL EJECTED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V817000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. UPDATED 6/8/15*CN

AFTER FILLING UP VEHICLE, A QUANTITY OF GASOLINE FLUSHED OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK CAUSING A DISTINCT FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR EACH FILL UP. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HEMI HAS STARTED TO BEHAVE ODDLY. FIRST...IT STARTED WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO LIFT THE GATE IN THE BACK? JUST LOCKED UP AND WE COULD NOT OPEN IT FOR MONTHS. IT THEN PROGRESSED TO AN ISSUE WITH THE REMOTE NOT WORKING TO UNLOCK ANYTHING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO QUOTED US AT $350 + TO FIX THE REMOTE...UMMM NO. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN OPENING MY DOOR USING THE KEY. LATE LAST YEAR I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE TIRES WOULD LOCK UP AND NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHEN COMPLETING A SHARP TURN (IE: TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY) THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE 4LO LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. THEN I STARTED HEARING THE TRUCK ACTUALLY ATTEMPT TO SWITCH ITSELF IN AND OUT OF AWD! THIS CREATES A CRAZY CLICKING AND SHIFTING SOUND IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY WHILE I AN DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND OFF? WE TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS WHOM COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT? I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL ATTEMPT TO MAKE A FAST SHARP TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TIRES WILL LOCK UP LEAVING ME SCREWED. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND WHENEVER ANYONE HAS THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE SOMETHING...IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I THINK DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THESE VEHICLES AS THEY ARE A SAFETY THREAT TO FAMILIES!! *TR

VEHICLE SWITCHED TO 4X4 MODE ON IT'S OWN. *TR

WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I SMELT SOMETHING BURNING IN THE DASH BOARD AND ALL INSTRUMENT LIGHTS STARTED TO GET DIM AND DIMMER AND THEN I NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AND ALL MOST IMMEDIATELY THE DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS STOP WORKING, THE CAR WOULD LOCK ITSELF AND THE WINDOWS STOP WORKING AT ALL AND AT THIS POINT THE REAR DOOR DO NOT OPEN AT ALL. I ASK THE DEALER AT THE LOT THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN A ACCIDENT OR WAS THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND HE SAID NO AND THAT I BOUGHT THE VAN AS IS AND TO THIS DAY I CANT GET THIS DEALER TO SEE THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AND THAT I AM NOT GOING TO RISK MINE NOR MY KIDS LIFE TO DRIVE IT AND HE WILL NOT EVEN TRADE ME OUT OF THIS CAR FOR SOMETHING BETTER. THE OTHER DAY I WAS FUELING THE VAN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN GASOLINE SHOT BACK OUT THE TANK AND SPILLED GAS ALL OVER ME, SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. NOT ONLY THAT, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN MY STATE AND OUT OF NO WHERE MY SEAT ON ITS OWN TERMS BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD ALL THE WAY TO THE STEERING WHEELING PRESSING ME TO THE WHEEL AND I AM 6FT 3IN TALL AND WEIGH 230LBS I AGAIN CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN AND GOT THE SAME STORY THAT I AGREED TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AS IS, I AGREED THAT I DID BUT I TOLD HIM THAT I DO NOT THINK THAT HE TOLD ME EVERYTHING THAT I NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES. AND AGAIN I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AGE 6 MONTHS TO FOUR YEARS OLD WHOM I LOVE VERY DEARLY. *TR

I WENT TO FILL MY TANK UP ON SATURDAY MARCH 7TH 2015. I JUST PURCHASE THE VEHICLE THAT DAY. GAS STARTED SPURTING OUT OF THE TANK AND GOT ALL OVER MY HANDS. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT FOR A DRIVE ON SUNDAY MORNING WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND I ALMOST ROLLED BACK ON THE CAR BEHIND MEN. THIS HAPPENS TWO MORE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THEN TODAY TUESDAY MARCH 10TH I DROVE TO MY PARENTS AND NOTICED THE CAR SPUTTERING UPON GRADUAL ACCELERATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED WITH FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO TWO WHEEL DRIVE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,876.

THIS VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY STALLS, LEAVING NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. THIS WAS NOT A SINGLE INCIDENT; THIS HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY 50 TIMES OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE VEHICLE SPEEDS, AND HAS HAPPENED IN BOTH FORWARD ("DRIVE") AND REVERSE GEARS. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED, AND IT DRIVES NORMALLY AFTER RESTARTING. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO STALL, AND NO CHECK ENGINE (OR OTHER) LIGHT COMES ON BEFORE OR AFTER THE INCIDENT. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER DROPPING MY SON OFF AT HIS SCHOOL. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT TO LEAVE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND I WASN'T ABLE TO CONTROL IT (VERY HIGH STEERING EFFORT, DIFFICULT TO STOP). I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ALSO REALIZED THE SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CHILD INSTEAD OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH I NEARLY STRUCK. A QUICK WEB SEARCH PRODUCED RESULTS SHOWING OTHER DRIVERS OF DODGE DURANGOS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME STALLING PHENOMENON, SO I'M CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE, AND NOT JUST A SINGLE CASE OF MY VEHICLE BEING BAD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER, AS IT HAS THE SAME SAFETY IMPLICATIONS AS THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURES WITHIN GM. *TR

THE CAR LOCKS IT'S WHEELS AND DOESN'T RUN. WHEN COMING TO A STOP LIGHT THE BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND AND IT JERKS TRYING TO STOP AND ACCELERATE AT THE SAME TIME. THE IGNITION SWITCH ALSO CATCHES AND DOES NOT START. I'VE TAKEN THE DURANGO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I'M ALWAYS TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE EGR VALVE, THE SPARK PLUGS, AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HOWEVER THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,900. UPDATED 4/13/15*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE COOLER LINE WAS LEAKING. UPDATED 04/16/15*JB

SERVICE 4WD LIGHT CAME ON,AND GOES INTO LO 4WD WHEN GOING SLOW,ALSO MAKING CLICKING NOISE WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING LIKE IT'S TRYING TO ENGAGE INTO 4WD,SCARED THIS IS GOING TO GO INTO LO AND CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT,NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM - REPLCE FUEL PUMP STILL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON DENOSTIC SAYS FUEL TANK SENSOR ,I REPLACE WITH NEW PUMP STILL SAY SAME THING .GAS OVER FLOW WHEN PUMPING FULL TANK OF GAS .GAS EVAPORATE QUICKLY. *TR

DRIVING ON I-43 TO WORK, THE 4 WHEEL LO LIGHT FLASHED AND WENT OUT. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT FLASHED AGAIN, EXCEPT THIS TIME IT LOCKED IN 4 WHEEL LO AT 70 MPH DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY SLOW DOWN FROM 70 MPH TO 25 MPH. I HAD CHECK THE VEHICLE CODES WITH NO ERRORS. ON THE WAY HOME, I HAD TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES TO CYCLE THE TRANSFER CASE, IN ORDER TO DISENGAGE THE 4 WHEEL LO. READING MANY BLOGS ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH 2004 THROUGH 2007 DODGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES. MECHANIC STATES THAT WITHOUT A CODE, THEY WILL JUST START REPLACING PARTS UNTIL THE CORRECT ONE IS FOUND. THIS COULD TAKE $2000.00 TO $3000.00. *TR

HI, I COULD NOT ACCESS THE ODOMETER FRAUD SECTION SO HERE IS MY QUESTION. HOW IS IT THAT THE DEPT OF MOTOR VEHICLE IN TALLAHASSEE THAT ISSUES TITLE DO NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT ODOMETER ROLLBACK, I THOUGHT THAT WAS ILLEGAL. I PURCHASED AN SUV AND MUCH LATER I DISCOVERED THERE IS A DISCREPANCY IN THE ODOMETER FROM CARFAX HISTORY. DOESN'T THIS ISSUE SHOW UP WHEN THE DMV IS DOING A TITLE FOR A NEW OWNER WHEN THEY ENTER THE VIN AND MILEAGE FROM THE BILL OF SALE? WHY IS THIS ILLEGALITY ALLOWED TO HAPPEN, DO THEY JUST ISSUE A TITLE FOR A STOLEN VEHICLE? *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING AND WHEN I DID A RECALL SEARCH AN AIRBAG RECALL DID COME UP BUT THERE IS NO FIX? ALSO WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK I GET MAJOR SPLASH BACK. HUGE FIRE ISSUE. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME 2005 DODGE DURANGOS FOR THAT PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND WOULDN'T FIX IT. HOW CAN I GET MY VIN INCLUDED? ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND READS CODE P0456(VERY SMALL EMISSIONS LEAK)..BUT THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM HAS BEEN GONE OVER AND GONE OVER BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT WOULD INDICATE A LEAK. *TR

FUEL FILL BURPS WHEN TANK IS ALMOST FILLED WITH FUEL CAUSING IT TO RUN DOWN THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF IT CAUSING A FIRE. HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTICE ON THIS RECALL YET. *TR

ON ANY NUMBER OF OCCASIONS (REGARDLESS OF OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE OR WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE) WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT A SLOW SPEED (IN FORWARD OR REVERSE) THE ENGINE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING. WITH THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER COMES THE NORMAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. IT APPEARS TO BE MOST FREQUENT WHEN PULLING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING LOT, STOP SIGN, ETC. THE SLOW SPEEDS ARE NOT INHERENTLY DANGEROUS, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT STALLING WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY REDUCING SPEED OR STOPPING PUTS MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORIST IN JEOPARDY. WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES CREATE A RISK OF MINOR DAMAGE TO OTHER PARKED CARS AND COULD PUT A PEDESTRIAN AT RISK WHILE BEING DISTRACTED AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP OR STEER AS EASILY. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS SOUNDS OR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION NOISES OR VIBRATIONS OR ANYTHING TO GIVE WARNING THAT THIS COULD OCCUR. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 05 DURANGO BACK IN MAY OF 05 AND I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL THREE OF THE MAJOR COMPLAINTS, THE FUEL SPEWING OUT, THE STALLING, AND THE 4X4 ACTIVATING! THE FUEL THING I ALWAYS NOTICED BUT ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENED. THE 4X4 ENGAGING HAPPENED WHEN IT STILL HAD THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE GOOD THING IS THAT THEY FIXED IT, THE BAD THING IS THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY! THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACED THE 4X4 CONTROL MODULE AND I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE THEN! I'M NOT POSITIVE IF THAT'S THE NAME OF THE MODULE. THIS WAS BACK IN 2008 AND I HAVEN'T HAD THAT PROBLEM SINCE THEN. HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS SOME THAT ARE DEALING WITH THAT SAME ISSUE! THE STALLING HAPPENS HERE AND THERE, NOT TOO OFTEN AND USUALLY WHEN I'M AT A STOP SIGN. I LOVE MY DURANGO, JUST HATE THE WAY DODGE IS JUST LEAVING ALL ITS CUSTOMERS ON THEIR OWN WHEN THERE SHOULD BE RECALLS FOR ALL THESE ISSUES!! ACTING LIKE THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THOSE PROBLEMS WHEN EVERY OWNER HAS THE SAME ISSUES! ILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN! AND IT SUCKS BECAUSE IM LOOKING INTO BUYING A NEW CAR, AND I LIKE THE NEW DURANGO. BUT THERE'S NO WAY I'LL BUY DODGE, OR CHRYSLER FOR THAT MATTER! *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS!!!!! IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED, THE TRUCK WILL LOSE ALL POWER AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I CAN'T STEER OR DO ANYTHING BUT PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTART THE TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN THE BE LOOKED AT AND NOTHING CAN BE FIGURED OUT AS IT DOES IT RANDOMLY. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND THIS LAST TIME WE WERE TURNING AND THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF WHILE ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS COMING DOWN THE STREET. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND SEES OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS DONE SUCH AS REPLACING THE EGR VALVE AND FLUSHING THE SYSTEM. I NEED AN ANSWER AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE!!!!!!!!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANKS WHEN I GO TO FILL UP IT SPEWS GAS BACK OUT AT ME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED ABOUT 3 YRS AGO CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MINE IS NOT A PART OF THE 2 RECALLS THAT THEY HAVE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE SO IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN TO THEM. WE HAD THE ORIGINAL TANK REPLACED WITHIN A FEW MTHS AND HAD TO TAKE IT BACK IMMEDIATELY FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. AFTER THAT IT WORKED WELL FOR THE PAST 2.5 YRS AND NOW I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE TANK AGAIN. I BOUGHT THIS NEEDED A BIG VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD BE HAVING TO REPLACE TANK ASSEMBLIES EVERY FEW YRS FOR AN ISSUE THAT THE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT. *TR

I AM NOT HAPPY THAT MY VIN NUMBER PULLS UP ONLY ONE RECALL WHEN A FEW OF THE ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING ARE ON THE RECALL LIST. FOR STARTERS THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS FLAKING PAINT AND NOT TO MENTION EVERYTIME I FUEL IT, GAS SPURTS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CHANGING THE TRANSFER CASE , TRANSFER CASE MOTOR AND ELECTRICAL AND IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES UNRELIABLE AND CAN CAUSE DEATH TO MY FAMILY AND OTHERS AS WELL PLEASE MAKE DODGE RECALL THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE . THANK YOU *TR

TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ENGAGES WHILE DRIVING GOING FROM AWD TO FOUR WHEEL LO. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. 4WLO LIGHT FLICKERS AND TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ENGAGES EVEN WITH VEHICLE SHUT OFF. *TR
