FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND AT ABOUT 68,000 MILES IT STARTED SPEWING GAS FROM THE FILLER TUBE JUST AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE GAS PUMP BUT AT EVERY REFUELING SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT THE SAME THING HAPPENS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE I FOUND THAT DODGE HAD RECALLED SEVERAL 2005 DURANGO'S BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL DODGE HAS UNDERESTIMATED THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. GAS BEING SPEWED OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE IS NOT ONLY A DANGER TO THOSE REFUELING AND SURROUNDING THE AREA WHERE REFUELING IS OCCURRING BUT ALSO HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 3 TO 4 CUPS OF GAS SPEW OUT IN EACH INSTANCE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT. STALLS WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE GONE ONLINE TO READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT CHARGE PEOPLE MONEY FOR FUTILE REPAIRS THAT HASN'T SOLVED THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. I PRAY A FAMILY WITH SMALL CHILDREN DON'T HAVE TO BE THE SACRIFICE FOR DODGE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT WAS OPENED FOR INVESTIGATION BUT LATER CLOSED. DUE TO PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY REPORT THE PROBLEM, JUST GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO TELL US WE ARE WRONG AND THE DURANGO IS JUST FINE. PLEASE OPEN THIS UP FOR INVESTIGATION, I WILL LET YOU KEEP MY DURANGO FOR 30 DAYS TO SEE FOR YOURSELF, YOU CAN PICK IT UP ANYTIME. . PLEASE DON'T REACT AFTER SOMEONE PAYS THE ULTIMATE PRICE, IT MAY BE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW AND/OR LOVE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY COMPLAINT IS THE SAME AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V034000 HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHEREIN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER NECK. CONSEQUENCE: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. DODGE HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAY THAT THE QUALIFYING VEHICLES WERE BUILT BEFORE 10/12/2004 AND THAT MINE WAS BUILT AFTER THAT DATE. I MAINTAIN THAT THEY EITHER USED THE SAME BAD PART IN MY VEHICLE OR DID NOT PROPERLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM FACED WITH A $825 REPAIR BILL FOR A DESIGN/PART FLAW THAT THEY DID NOT CORRECT AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS FAULTY PART WAS REPLACED ON AUGUST 12, 2008 IN RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT 10219910 BUT HAS FAILED YET AGAIN. THE RECALL ON THE SERVICE DICUMENT WAS LISTED AS E01-410-567-1836 FROM BUSINESS CENTER/MARK WITTHOLZ. THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE $825 REPLACEMENT COST. PLEASE CONSIDER RULING ONCE AGAIN THAT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSED BY AN OBVIOUSLY FLAWED PART SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT CHRYSLER'S EXPENSE. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO TELL ME THE MAKE OF THE REPLACEMENT TANK INSTALLED ON AUGUST 12, 2008 SO I HAVE INDICATED FAILED ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SUBMIT THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

CAR IS STALLING WHEN AT A STOP OR SLOW SPEEDS. IT JUST DIES WITH NO WARNING. IT IS GETTING WORSE. I WILL NOT SIT AT A STOP WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. IT SEEMS TO ME IT IS THE NHTSA EA05018 PROBLEM. I THINK THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE REOPENED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SINCE I PURCHASED IN 2006, VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED RUNNING WHEN TURNING (LEFT OR RIGHT) . I CAN START IT AGAIN, BUT IT WILL CONTINUE TO DIE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN STOPPED OR TURNING. IT MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE MONTH, OR NOTHING AT ALL FOR 6 OR 10 MONTHS, BUT CONTINUES TO DO I--4 YEARS NOW. DEALER CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE, INDEPENDENT MECHANICS CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE. WHEN ITS DOING THIS AND I'M STOPPED (IN DRIVE) RPM'S WILL BOUNCE FROM 2 TO 0 A BUNCH, THEN IT WILL DIE. AM ALSO HAVING SURGES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. AND IT STALLS WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE. NOT A LOT OF WATER... YOUR AVERAGE PUDDLE THAT EVERY OTHER CAR GOES THROUGH FINE. POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE CAR STALLS... SOMETIMES IT DIES, SOMETIMES IT MAKES IT BACK TO LIFE. MY VEHICLE WAS DOING ALL OF THIS AT UNDER 20,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR YEARS NOW. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WHEN MY CAR IS HAVING ONE OF ITS "DAYS", I DON'T DRIVE IT. I'M NOT RISKING MYSELF OR OTHERS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2005 DODGE DURANGO HEMI. WHEN DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH MY DURANGO JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. I LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKES. ITS A MIRACLE I DIDN'T CAUSE A 20 CAR PILE UP. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I HAVE 3 KIDS WHO WERE LUCKILY NOT IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THEY TOWED MY DURANGO TO A LOCAL SHOP WHO COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY INTURN TOWED IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME RIGHT AWAY THAT THE VALVE SPRING WENT AND NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE HOW MANY OTHER HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE CARE OF ALL OF US WITH THESE ENGINE PROBLEMS. AT THIS POINT I'D RATHER BUY A TOYOTA THAT ANOTHER DODGE. AT LEAST THEY RECALLED THEIR VEHICLES AND TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEMS THEY WERE HAVING. AS IT STANDS I HAVE BEEN OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND NO SIGNS OF GETTING IT BACK SOON. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE NEW ENGINE I HAD TO BUY AT $8,000 IS BACKORDERED AND CANNOT GET UNTIL DEC!!! I HAVE 3 KIDS AND NO LONGER A VEHICLE TO FIT EVERYONE IN. I ASKED ABOUT A RENTAL TO HELP ME OUT BUT WAS ALSO TOLD DODGE WON'T DO THAT EITHER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE GAS PUMP WILL STOP PUMPING, WITHIN SECONDS NEARLY A GALLON OF GAS WILL POUR OUT OF THE TANK. THE GAS NOT ONLY COVERS THE VEHICLE BUT HAS SPRAYED ME NEARLY HITTING MY EYES. THE GAS POURED ALL OVER THE GROUNDS OF THE GAS STATION REQUIRING ME TO REPORT IT TO THE CLERK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DECIDE TO FILL MY TANK. IT HAS GOTTEN TO A POINT IN WHICH I FEAR TO FILL MY TANK. I RESEARCHED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE WHICH I DID FIND. AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT APPLY TO THIS RECALL AND THEY WERE NOT LIABLE UNTIL MORE VEHICLES WERE REPORTED. *TR

GAS SPILLS WHEN PUMPING GAS STARTED AT 98322 MILES. TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. MY DODGE DURANGO DOES WHAT THE RECALL CLAIMS NEEDS REPAIR. VEHICLE AT 126000 AND STILL SPILLS GAS ALL OVER THE CEMENT OF THE GAS STATION. WHAT A DANGEROUS SITUATION! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE AGAIN!! TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND NOW I'M HAVING ANOTHER PROBLEM. THE TCM HAS AN ERROR AND THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TCM. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO BEGAN SPITTING GAS BACK OUT AFTER THE PUMP HAS CLICKED OFF. APPROXIMATELY, 1/2 GALLON IS WASTED, IT ON LANDS ON THE CAR, GROUND AND MYSELF. THIS OCCURS EACH AND EVERY TIME THE CAR IS FUELED. DODGE HAS A RECALL ON THE GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY RECALL FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. I HAVE CALLED DODGE AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT I MUST PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, DEDUCTIBLE AND POSSIBLY A PERCENTAGE OF THE COST. HOWEVER, OTHER 2005 DURANGO'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE WERE CORRECTED/REPAIRED AT DODGE'S EXPENSE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN # [XXX] MANUFACTURED MARCH 2005. EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AT LEAST A PINT TO A QUART SPRAYS OUT WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE SAME PROBLEM AS IN RECALL #NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000. I HAVE TALKED TO DEALERS AND CHRYSLER CORPORATE REPS WHO BLUNTLY TELL ME "NOTHING WE CAN DO..... YOUR'S WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER NOVEMBER 2004. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AND HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. MY FAMILY KNOWS WHO TO FILE SUIT AGAINST IF OR WHEN I GET BURNED UP. INCLUDING NHTSA. OBVIOUSLY DODGE HAS MORE PROBLEMS WITH MORE DURANGOS THAN THEY WANT TO ADMIT TO WITH THE FUEL SPLASH PROBLEM.

GASOLINE SPEWING FROM THE GAS TANK OF MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE BURNS AND/OR SKIN REACTIONS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, NOT JUST A SELECT FEW ACCORDING TO THE VIN. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 HEMI THAT MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED AT THE END OF MAY 2010. I HAVE ONLY HAD 5 MONTHS AND AFTER THE FIRST MONTH IT STALLED ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. TOOK 3 TIMES UNTIL IT DID START AND STAY STARTED. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY HUSBAND AND 3 KIDS. LUCKILY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD AND WAS ONLY GOING 10 MPH. SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART IT. IT STARTED UP FINE THAT TIME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS IN ANOTHER PARKING LOT AND IT WOULDN'T STAY STARTED WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. TOOK ANOTHER 3 TIMES BEFORE IT DID. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TODAY, OCTOBER 22, 2010. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND TRIED TO TURN TO GO UP THE HILL TO MY STREET WHEN I REALIZED I COULDN'T TURN OR STOP CAUSE MY VEHICLE CUT OFF AGAIN AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL SINCE I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO STOP SINCE I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST. THIS WAS MY LAST STRAW SINCE IF I DO WRECK IT WILL BE MY FAULT AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL OUT ON THIS SITUATION. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT WRONG AND THINKS I AM CRAZY SINCE IT CAN'T BE RECREATED. AFTER SEEING HOW THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE 2005, AS LONG AS THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPORTED AND GOT RECALLED, THAT THIS ISN'T RECALLED. THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS!!!! I HAVE 3 KIDS AND THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND HURT SOMEONE OR EVEN POSSIBLE KILL SOMEONE!!! I DON'T WANT MY KIDS TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING GETS DONE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS AND CALLED CHRYSLER AND REPORTED IT AND I SUGGEST EVERYONE DO THE SAME! CALL 18009921997. IF WE CAN REPORT THIS ENOUGH, MAYBE IT WILL RAISE ATTENTION TO SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING. I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND EVEN MORE FEARFUL FOR MY KIDS TO BE IN IT AND IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE OUR FAMILY CAR. IF I GET IN A WRECK I WILL GET A LAWYER AND I WILL SUE THEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT WAS PURCHASED FROM CARS PLUS IN LENOIR, NC IN MARCH 2010. STARTING ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ALL POWER WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN IF YOU START AROUND A TURN OR HIT THE BRAKES. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME YOU TAKE A TURN OR HIT THE BRAKES. IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS IT HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER. YOU HAVE NO BRAKES AND NO POWER STEERING. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER TWICE AND SOMEONE ELSE ONCE. NOTHING PULLS UP ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. DODGE HAS TOLD ME THIS IS MY PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE ABOUT 800 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2005 DURANGOS ON THE COMPUTER, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS OUT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T WANT ANY INJURY TO COME TO MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILDREN. I AM PAYING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE AND DON'T WANT TO TRADE IT IN AND SOMEONE ELSE GET STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY GET INJURED DRIVING IT. I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE OPTIONS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TOLD ME I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND A DEFECT. I DON'T WANT TO TRADE MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND JUST PASS THE PROBLEM ALONG, BUT I NEED A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT TO DO WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2005 DURANGO HAS BEEN SHUTTING COMPLETELY OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE MECHANICS NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE A PROBLEM. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OTHERS AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY SUV WILL SHUT OFF.
