FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT AROUND 38000 MILES WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE GAS SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE OF OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHEN THE TAKE GETS NEAR FULL WHEN REFUELING. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS THAT PARTICULAR PUMP, BUT WE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE, BUT ACCORDING TO THE DODGE WEB SITE, OUR 2005 DURANGO IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER WANTS AROUND $700 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD AS GAS SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND ME WHEN REFUELING. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND DODGE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE HELP! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PURCHASED A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WITH THE HEMI. IT HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIMES AT RED LIGHTS WITH NO WARNING AND NO PATTERN TO THE STALLING. HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS WHO CLAIM THEY HAVE NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME IT HAS STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY BUT WITH A 7 MONTH OLD BABY I FEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WHEN NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM AND WITH AN INTERNET SEARCH HAVE FOUND THAT I'M NOT ALONE IN HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

PARKING BRAKE
I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WHEN I HEARD A CLUNK NOISE, THIS HAS BEEN PRECEDED BY 2-3 MONTHS OF A HIGH PITCHED SQUEAKING NOISE THAT THE MECHANICS COULD FIND NO CAUSE FOR. AFTER THE CLUNK THE VEHICLE MADE A WHOMPING RHYTHMIC NOISE WHILE I DROVE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I STARTED IT TO DRIVE TO THE REPAIR SHOP IT SHIFTED IN GEAR BUT WOULD GO NOWHERE. IT APPEARED THE REAR BRAKES WERE LOCKED. IT WA STOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANICS REPORT THAT THE PARKING BRAKE ON THE LEFT SIDE HAS BROKEN AND RESULTED IN JAMMING AND BREAKING OTHER COMPONENTS. MECHANIC ALSO REPORTS THE RIGHT SIDE APPEARS TO BE BROKEN AS WELL BUT HAS NOT DONE THE SAME AMT OF DAMAGE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FILLED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A FEW PARTS; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT DOES NOT REMEMBER WHICH ONES SPECIFICALLY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND THE REPAIR CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 69,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPILLAGE REGULAR OCCURRENCE. THE TANK SAYS I AM ON NEARLY ON EMPTY, I GO TO THE STATION AND "FILL UP" THE PROBLEM COMES IN WHEN I GET CLOSE TO THE END. VENT SEEMS TO PREVENT FUEL TANK TO BE FILLED AND IT SPILLS ALL OVER SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS A RUSHING NOISE PUMP NOZZLE CLICKS AND GAS GOES EVERYWHERE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA THIS WOULD HAPPEN. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ONLINE I AM NOT ALONE. HTTP://WWW.FIXYA.COM/CARS/T592484-FUEL_OVERFLOW_RECALL_2005_DURANGO#SAMEPROBLEMCONTINUED I AM TOLD THAT IT PROBABLY NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK BY THE DEALER, I TYPE IN MY VIN AND IT SAYS IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I AM THINKING THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE CHECK VALVE NOT TO CLOSE ALSO CAUSES IT TO CLOSE OR STICK CLOSED AS WELL. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE FUEL THAT SPLASHES BACK WILL GET IN MY EYE OR CAUSE OTHER ISSUES LIKE A FIRE. I FIRST THOUGHT IT MAY BE A PUMP ISSUE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT NEARLY EVERY STATION I HAVE WENT TO. I AM ALSO CURIOUS HOW A 26 GALLON TANK CAN NEVER TAKE MORE THAN 20 GALLONS, I REALIZE THAT THERE IS A RESERVE BUT 6 GALLONS? PLEASE HELP ME AND THE OTHERS LISTED ON THE LINK I INCLUDED. WE CAN'T ALL BE CRAZY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH. PROBLEM 1: WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND FUEL COMES SHOOTING OUT THE TOP OF THE TANK. PROBLEM 2: WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERS ON AND OFF. I CHECKED THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ISSUED FOR BOTH OF THESE ISSUES THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THAT I HAVE TO CALL CHRYSLER. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER IS UNWILLING TO WORK FOR ANY DISCOUNTS AND THAT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY SERVICES. IN BOTH RECALL NOTICES IT STATES THAT THESE ISSUES ARE BOTH FIRE HAZARDS AND I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $1700 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO RESOLVE THEM, AS THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH 2005 DODGE DURANGOS. PLEASE HELP! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THERE WAS NO LEAD UP, THE GAS TANK JUST STARTED OVERFLOWING AND IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE GAS PUMP WHEN FUELING THE TANK. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME THAT WE FILL UP USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF FEATURE ON A GAS PUMP. THE RESULT IS SEVERAL OUNCES (JUST A GUESS, BUT IT IS A LOT) OF GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK, ONTO THE GROUND AND EVEN SPLASHING ONTO AN UNSUSPECTING TRUCK OWNER. WE TOOK THE TRUCK INTO OUR DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN VINS OF THIS VEHICLE TYPE, BUT OURS IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR AS THE RECALL VEHICLES. THE ESTIMATE FOR A NEW FUEL TANK IS AROUND $800 AND OF COURSE THE WARRANTY WENT VOID A FEW THOUSAND MILES PRIOR TO THE MALFUNCTION WE ARE EXPERIENCING. IF DODGE KNOWS THERE ARE PROBLEMS ON SOME OF THE TRUCKS IN THE SAME YEAR THAT OURS WAS MANUFACTURED AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT, HOW CAN THEY NOT BE LIABLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM?? DODGE IS NOT WILLING TO FIX AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT, BUT REFUSE TO FIX IN REGARDS TO ALL OF THE TRUCKS AFFECTED. IT SEEMS AS IF NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE FUEL TANK DESIGN THAT THEY ADMIT WAS WRONG IN VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, JUST A FEW MONTHS OLDER. HOW IS THAT ETHICAL? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL WIRES. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SEVERAL SPARK PLUGS, AND COIL WIRES. AS OF JANUARY 30, 2009, ALL OF THE REMEDIES HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT IN CORRECTING THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I FILL UP MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS, THAT WHEN IT IS FULL AND THE PUMP STOPS, GAS COMES GUSHING OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE ASKED DODGE IF THERE IS A RECALL BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I HEARD AND THEY TOLD ME NO. I DID FIND THE RECALL INFO ON THIS WEB SITE AND I WANT TO KNOW IF MY VIN IS COVERED. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND I WANT THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON... *TR
