FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUE AS REPORTED IN NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V003000 - FUEL-SPIT BACK PROBLEMS CAUSED BY STUCK INLET CHECK VALVES IN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBES. WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK THE FUEL SPITS OUT. THIS ISSUE OCCURS REGULARLY UPON FILL UP. THE FUEL SPITS OUT ONTO VEHICLE, GAS STATION PAVEMENT, AND CLOTHING. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD TO MYSELF AND TO MY PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE DURING REGULAR FILL UPS. I'VE HAD TO REFRAIN FROM FILLING UP THE VEHICLE TO FULL CAPACITY TO AVOID THIS OCCURRENCE. I CHECKED MY VIN [XXX] FOR RECALL INFORMATION ON DODGE.COM AND MY VEHICLE WAS ERRONEOUSLY NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE HAD OUR GAS TANK REPLACED ON OUR VEHICLE ON 7/24/08 AND CHRYSLER THEN HAD A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL INLET VALVE ISSUE, WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM THAT WE WERE HAVING. WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT REIMBURSING US THE COST OF THE GAS TANK DUE TO THE RECALL AND THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE THIS MONEY, STATING THAT THEY HAVE REVIEWED OUR CASE AND WILL NOT REIMBURSE US. WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS RECALL, AS WE DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE. WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2008. WE JUST BECAME AWARE OF THE RECALL AND THEREFORE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS SITUATION. DOES THE COMPANY HAVE TO COVER THIS COST DUE TO THE RECALL OF THE GAS TANK AND IF SO IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON THE RECALL? *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I HAVE A 2005 DURANGO AND LATELY IT HAS BEEN DYING WITH NO TYPE OF ANY WARNING. IT USUALLY WILL HAPPEN IF I AM TURNING A CORNER, COMING TO A STOP AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, OR GOING THROUGH PARKING LOTS. SATURDAY I HAD A CAR FULL OF KIDS LEAVING A BASEBALL GAME AND I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO CROSS A BUSY HWY IN MY HOMETOWN AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO GO ACROSS THE INTERSECTION OF THE HWY MY DURANGO DIED RIGHT THERE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEADED TOWARD US...I COULDN'T STEER AND HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY WITH THE KIDS IN MY CAR AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND FRANTICALLY TRY TO START THE CAR HOPING THIS WOULD HELP (WHICH THANKFULLY IT DID THIS TIME). THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND EACH TIME IS GETTING MORE AND MORE SCARIER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR ONE OF THESE TIMES MY FAMILY AND I WON'T BE SO LUCKY AND WILL END UP BEING KILLED DUE TO THE DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REVIEWED MANY FORUMS ONLINE AND SEE MANY COMPLAINTS IN THE FORUMS WHERE THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO DODGE'S ATTENTION AND EVEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WITH NOTHING DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED BECAUSE OF THE STALLING OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE CONSUMERS AND HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS NOW. IT HAS A PERSISTENT AND VERY UNSETTLING PROBLEM OF STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH NO CORRESPONDING WARNING LIGHTS ETC. IT JUST DIES AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAIL RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO PATTERN OF ORIGIN EVIDENT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC LANES ACROSS INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAVE UTILIZED FUEL CLEANERS AND CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS ETC. IN A EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT FORTUNATELY..JUST DIED WITHOUT WARNING. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ENGINE PROBLEM COMPLAINT WITH THE DURANGO. TODAY, THIS OCCURRED WITH OVER 3/4 TANK OF FRESH FUEL IN THE TANK. THIS PROBLEM CONSTITUTES AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INITIATES AN INVESTIGATION INTO IT'S CAUSE ( S ) - THANK YOU - RELATED WEBSITE LINK RE: COMMON PROBLEM - HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/2005/ENGINE/STALLING_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML . *TR

ENGINE
I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING TOO FAR INTO THE INTERSECTION AS A VEHICLE PAST FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MY VEHICLE STALLED. I HAVE HAD IT STALL MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE EACH TIME MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT UP AFTER THE STALL AND I HAVE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR THE LIKE APPEAR. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS WHEN IM PULLING OUT INTO BUSY FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. *TR
