FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT RIGHT AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. EASILY A QUART OF GAS SPRAYS EVERYWHERE. EVEN REFUELING SLOWLY DOES NOT PREVENT THIS. SPILLED GAS PRESENTS A FIRE HAZARD.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS SPLASHES OUT ON MYSELF AND THE CAR AND THE GROUND EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GASOLINE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED AND VERIFIED THAT IN JAN OF '09 THERE WAS A MASSIVE RECALL ON 2005 DURANGOS REGARDING THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME $75.00 TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR MY YEAR OF DURANGO. I HAVE THE COMPLAINT NUMBER FROM THE NHTSB ANNOUNCING THE MASSIVE RECALL OF THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. WHEN I COMPLAINED AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER.THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. A FIRE COULD START OR WORSE YET , I COULD CATCH ON FIRE WITH THE AMOUNT OF BACKSPLASH I RECEIVE EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK UP FULLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT ON CHRYSLER'S PART AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. AT THE HIGH PRICE OF FUEL I DO NOT EXPECT TO BE DOUSED WITH A SHOWER OF GAS, NOR DO OTHER CUSTOMERS' PARKED NEAR MY CAR AT THE GAS STATION.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 DODGE DURANGO FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS EVERYTIME I FILL IT UP WITH GAS, ABOUT A GALLON OR SO SHOOTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK BECAUSE THEIR IS A FAULTY PART. I HAVE CALLED DODGE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T IN THE RECALL; BUT IF THE PART HAD BEEN MADE IN A DIFFERENT FACTORY THAT HAD THE DEFECT ISSUES THEN IT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF WASTING MY MONEY ON THE GAS THAT KEEPS SHOOTING OUT OF IT AND WASHING MY VEHICLE OFF EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER 2005 AND 2006 DURANGO OWNERS AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ANY SUGGESTIONS? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND RESUMED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED WITHOUT AN ENGINE PROTECTION COVER, WHICH ALLOWED WATER TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE. THE SENSOR THROTTLE AND FOURTEEN OTHER PARTS WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER FOR ONE MONTH FOR THE REPAIRS. FOUR DAYS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE ENGINE SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, STOPPED RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN THE ENGINE STOPS. THE DATE LISTED IS THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FIRST, THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THEN, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER QUIT WORKING WHEN THE ABS, PARKING BRAKE, CHECK ENGINE, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RECALL, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDS A NEW ABS CONTROL MODULE AND WIRING HARNESS. THE WIRING HARNESS IS COMPLETELY MELTED, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF A SHORT IN THE CONTROL MODULE - AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE WIRING HARNESS IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER, SO I AM WITHOUT ABS BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, AND A SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER UNTIL THEN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS IT BACK WASHES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. WHEN MAKING CONTACT WITH DODGE CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE'S VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE PAST RECALLS. AT THIS TIME DODGE CHRYSLER HAS OFFERED A CO-PAY REMEDY SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK AND FILLER NOZZLE. IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET THEM TO EXPAND THE VIN # CHART TO INCLUDE OTHER VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE??
