FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A LETTER RECENTLY FROM MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER INDICATING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WOULD REQUIRE REPAIR FOR SOMETHING CAUSING THE FUEL TO SPILL OUT DURING FILL UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST AS I WAS UNAWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS. AFTER RECEIVING THIS LETTER A FEW WEEKS AGO I INSPECTED THE QUARTER PANEL UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK MORE CLOSELY NOTICING BUBBLING OF THE PAINT WITH CHIPPING STARTING. PRESSING ON THE PAINT IT SOUNDED CORROSIVE LIKE RUST. AS I BEGAN TO CHIP SOME OF THE PAINT AWAY I DISCOVERED RUST AND TWO HOLES THAT WERE COMPLETELY THROUGH. LOOKING THROUGH THE HOLES I COULD SEE RUST BEHIND THE BODY. AFTER REVIEWING SEVERAL CAR AND DODGE FORUMS I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE SAME AREA OF THE DRIVE QUARTER PANEL. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FUEL PROBLEM AND THE RUST THAT APPEARS TO HAVE COME INSIDE OUT TO THE BODY OF THE CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER RUST ON THIS CAR AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL ON THE INLET VALVE IS STILL VALID HOWEVER RUST WOULD NOT BE. IT CONCERNS ME THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THEIR DEFECTIVE ITEM. HOW COULD I HAVE KNOW THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING SINCE I JUST RECEIVED NOTIFICATION I'M CONCERNED THE RUST DAMAGE IS MORE GREAT THAN I CAN ACTUALLY SEE. OF COURSE I'M ADDITIONALLY CONCERNED WITH POSSIBLE FIRE ETC WHICH IS WHAT THE RECALL SPECIFICALLY INDICATES. I WILL MAKE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OF THE FUEL INLET VALVE.I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO ALSO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED BY THEIR DEFECTIVE PART. I HAVE 99,200 MILES CURRENTLY. I DON'T WANT MY CONCERNS TO BE DISMISSED AS I FEEL I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I ONLY RECEIVED A LETTER RECENTLY FOR THIS PROBLEM SO I FEEL ALL PARTS OF THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AND DECELERATION, IDLING HARD AT A STOP AND WHILE IN PARK, WILL STALL WHEN IDLING HARD, GAS SPILLS OUT OF INLET WHEN FILLING UP COMPLETELY, SLUGGISH IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 30 DEGREES AND ABOVE 80 DEGREES, REQUIRES MORE THAN NORMAL MAINTENANCE, SERVICE TECH'S CAN NEVER DIAGNOSE THE CAUSES OF STALLING OR IDLING ISSUES, THINK IT MIGHT CONCERN THE THROTTLE BODY, TRANSMISSION HAS TORQUED ITSELF OUT BEFORE, STRIPPED SCREWS, REBUILT AT 90000 MILES. JUST WAITING FOR IT TO GO AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUES EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED. EVERY FIX JUST FEELS LIKE A BAND AID TO THE MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS IT HAS. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE MAKING TURNING MANEUVERS AT LOW SPEEDS WHICH DISABLES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BUT THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS ALWAYS OCCUR DURING DECELERATIONS, SUCH AS BRAKING FOR A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC SIGNAL. WHEN IT HAPPEN I MUST IMMEDIATELY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT, BUT LUCKILY THIS HAS NOT LET TO AN ACCIDENT YET. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND RECENTLY IN DECEMBER 2012 IT STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO PUT GAS IN IT. THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THE THE GAS STARTS TO SPEW BACK OUT NOT ONLY DOES IT GO ON THE CAR IT ACTUALLY EVEN REACHES YOU. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR DURANGO BUT I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED. SINCE THIS PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT OVER 3,000 PEOPLE ALSO HAVE COMPLAINED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THEY SAY IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE NHTSA WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE AND DEMAND THERE BE MORE RECALLS DONE AND HONORED FREE OF CHARGE. A LIFE IS A LIFE AND CANT BELIEVE ANYONE WOULD TAKE A CHANCE WITH IT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE USED AS IS, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. AS THE TANK BECAME FULL THE PUMP HANDLE CLICKED AND FUEL BEGAN TO OVERFILL OUT OF THE SPOUT. FUEL SPRAYED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE DURANGO AND ON TO MY CLOTHES AND SHOES. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE DANGERS THAT ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SPILLING. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT IS THE CHECK VALVE INSIDE MY GAS TANK. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TANK AND FEEL IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DODGE TO PAY FOR THIS. THEY HAVE TOLD ME I AM NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BUT I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR BEGINS TO SPUTTER AND STALL AT CONSTANT SPEEDS, THEN STALLS WHILE RUNNING WHICH DISABLES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS SITUATION IS PROFOUNDLY DANGEROUS AS IT RENDERS THE CAR NEARLY UNABLE TO STOP. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN STOP IS IF YOU CAN GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, COAST OFF THE ROAD AND QUICKLY RESTART THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE LIGHT DOES COME ON AFTER THE EVENT. I HAVE GOTTEN THIS ISSUE REPAIRED FOUR TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND THE SENSORS THAT CORRESPOND TO THE CODE HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE EACH AND ARE IN FULL WORKING ORDER. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PREVALENCE OF THIS ISSUE AND IS UNWILLING TO COOPERATE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT MADE A RECALL AS OF YET. *TR
