FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS COMES SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK WHEN I'M FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH I'M TRYING TO "FILL" THE TANK, AT THE END OF THE FILLING WHEN THE PUMP SHOULD STOP DUE TO THE TANK BEING FULL. IT DOES NOT SPEW OUT IF I'M JUST PUTTING "SOME" GAS IN THE TANK. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS SO IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND NOT THE PUMP. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND JUST FOUND INFORMATION ON THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V003000 REPORT RECEIPT DATE 01/08/2009. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING HOWEVER I WAS TOLD, TODAY, THAT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES LISTED IN THE RECALL. SAFETY RECALL NUMBER H45 - FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. HOW DO I GO ABOUT POSSIBLY GETTING MY VEHICLE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS ISSUE? THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF EITHER 2004 OR 2005.

AIR BAGS
CUSTOMER CARE IS UNABLE TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE BECAUSE THERE IS NO DEALERSHIP ON ISLAND MAUI. SAID IF I PAY COST TO GET CAR TO HONOLULU THEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO OPEN A NEW FILE ON MY CAR. HAVING AN OLDER RECALLED VEHICLE IN A HUMID HOT ENVIRONMENT MAKES OUR SITUATION MUCH MORE DANGEROUS THEN MOST WITH DEFECTED AIRBAGS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM DO A BUY BACK. 3 GRANDCHILDREN IN CARSEATS AND A MY LEGALLY BLIND HUSBAND. A LONG WITH MY 12 YEAR OLD SON AND SELF ONLY HAVE THIS VEHICLE. AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY INDICATING A POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP SCENARIO. DODGE DOES NOT CARE BY MY DISMISSED CLAIM FILE . I AM ON FIXED SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME AND WILL NEVER HAVE FUNDS TO TRANSPORT CAR INTER ISLAND OR TRUST IN A MECHANIC WHOSE WORK ON THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE GUARANTEED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND SEE IF A BUYBACK OR REPLACEMENT SEEMS NECESSARY TO PROTECT OUR LIVES.MY CONTACT NUMBER IS [XXX]. I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE A BASIS TO ERASE MY FILING UNTIL I HAVE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY SURROUNDING COSTS FOR REPLACING OR REPAIRING THIS VEHICLE AT THEIR COST. [XXX].

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, TURNING, PARKED, VEHICLE ON OR OFF, THE 4WD SELECTOR WILL SWITCH BETWEEN AWD, 4LOCK AND 4LO. THE SVC4WD LIGHT SOMETIMES BLINKS AFTER START UP, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS IN PARK, NEUTRAL OR DRIVE AND THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR CAN BE HEARD SWITCHING UNDER THE VEHICLE. SEE ISSUE DESCRIBED EXACTLY HERE: HTTP://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T4148_DS482593 THIS IS NOT A ONE-OFF ISSUE, THIS IS AFFECTING MULTIPLE DODGE, JEEP, CHRYSLER 4X4 VEHICLES OVER MULTIPLE YEARS WITH BOTH THE 2WD-4WD AND AWD OPTIONS. CAN BE HAZARDOUS WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CAUSES LOSS OF CONTROL DURING TURNING WHILE ON HARD SURFACES DUE TO LOCKED AXLES. EVEN THE MANUAL WARNS AGAINST RUNNING IN 4 LOCK/4LO ON PAVEMENT OR BLACKTOP, THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE POWERTRAIN.
