FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE WAS INDEED A RECALL FOR THE 2005 AND 2006 MODEL YEARS OF MY VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER FOR A FUEL SAFETY ISSUE OF MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK DURING FUEL UPS. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE, THE RECALL WAS CUT OFF EXACTLY ONE DAY PRIOR TO THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURING DATE. THE PART IDENTIFIED WAS A FAULT WITH THE FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE. DODGE IDENTIFIED THE ONLY RECOURSE FOR THIS VEHICLE IS TO PETITION THE NHTSA AND HOPE THEY RECALL IT TO REPLACE IT BY DODGE, OR PAY FOR A REPAIR MYSELF OUT OF POCKET FOR A KNOWN AND ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE VEHICLE AND I AM NOTICING THE SAME ISSUE ON ALL DODGE DURANGOS I OBSERVE ON THE ROAD NOW, WITH RUSTY QUARTER PANELS DUE TO FUEL SPILL AND SATURATION ISSUES IN THE SAME SPOT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HIL ADDING GAS, THE FUEL OVERFLOW DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FULL. GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE TUBE AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE DURANGO AND ONTO THE GROUND. THERE IS CONSIDERABLE RUSTING UNDER THE FILL TUBE. I PURCHASED THSI VEHICLE 4 YEARS AGO AND IT HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS. THE RUST AREA HAD BEEN REPAIRED PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING SO I AM ASSUMING THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE MY OWNERSHIP AS WELL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR HAS A VERY BAD HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION AND SHUTTERS WHEN THE PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR. THE CODE I'M GETTING IS A DEALER PART ONLY AND I'VE FOUND THAT 4 OUT OF FIVE DODGE DURANGO OR CHRYSLER ASPEN HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY EXPENSIVE TRIAL AND ERROR PROCESS. MY SISTER WHO OWNS A 2008 ASPEN JUST REPLACED THE SAME PART I NEED TO REPLACE FOR ALMOST 1,000 DOLLARS AND THAT'S NOT THE ONLY TIME I'VE HEARD OF THIS COMMON ISSUE WITH THE SOLENOIDS FROM THIS HEMI ENGINE. IT'S NOT ALLOWS ALL CYLINDERS TO WORK BECAUSE THIS FAULTY PART IS MALFUNCTIONING. PLEASE RECALL THIS PART SO I'M SURE 75% OF THE OWNERS CAN FINALLY HAVE A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND NOT GET STRANDED LIKE OTHERS I'M SURE THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING, THE VEHICLE JUST STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, BRAKES OR POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK WHEN VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. THIS CAN CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME. HELP! THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES COME UP.

TAKATA RECALL WAS PLACED MAY 2016, I HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FEB 2016. OCTOBER 24, 2017 IS WHEN I RECEIVED THE POST CARD IN THE MAIL NOTIFYING ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR W/O KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AND WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP I WAS PLACED ON A WAIT LIST FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THE WAIT IS DUE TO THE PARTS NOT GETTING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN TIME. I THINK THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING CONSUMERS OF POTENTIAL DANGERS IS SHAMEFUL! A POST CARD? SERIOUSLY?! IT'S JUST MY LIFE AND THOSE THAT SIT UP FRONT WITH ME. NO WORRIES....

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
TRANSFER CASE CAN BE HEARD ENGAGING EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS LOCKED AND UNOCCUPIED. ENGAGING IS SOMETIMES TRIGGERED BY THE REMOTE WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING DOORS. 4 LO LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH THEN MY BACK WHEELS LOCKED UP WHEN I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE BYPASS WITH CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK. IT IS A MIRACLE WE DIDN'T ROLL OVER, BUT ANOTHER TRUCK WAS FORCED OFF OF THE ROAD WHILE I USED TWO LANES TO TRY TO CONTROL THE DURANGO. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT (NO ACTIVE CODE)... IT DROVE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS THEN THE SRVC 4X4 LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE TRYING TO CROSS A STREET... I COULDN'T MOVE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP. SHOP STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. STILL NO ACTIVE CODE, TRUCK SEEMS FINE. I DROVE IT A FEW MORE DAYS AND NOW IT HAS SLIPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR. CANNOT TRAVEL OVER 35 MPH.. PARKING, REVERSE AND TIGHT TURNS ARE VERY DIFFICULT. MY TAKE OFF SPEED IS NEARLY NONEXISTENT. TRUCK SHIFTED BACK INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. I SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK THREE TIMES. ALL THREE TIMES IT SOUNDED LIKE A STUN GUN SPARKING BEHIND MY DASH AND IT LIT UP WITH A WHITE LIGHT FROM INSIDE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER HAS FAILED. RECALL G07: INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER: KNOWN TO OVERHEAT AND CATCH FIRE. THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY TRUCK IN 2007, THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE REPLACEMENT PART. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP. I AM SO SORRY I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK. PLEASE... WHY IS CHRYSLER ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING A RECALL ONE TIME/VEHICLE? THEY KNOW IT WILL FAIL AGAIN. IT DID, HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL. NUMEROUS OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM... REPLACING TRANSFER CASES, CPU MODULES AND THEIR PROBLEMS DO NOT GO AWAY BECAUSE THEIR PROBLEM IS A DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE RECALLED INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER THAT WILL NEVER CODE AND TELL ON ITSELF.
