FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON FUELING MY CAR, THERE IS ALWAYS A KICK BACK OF FUEL THAT ENDS UP SPILLING ON TO THE FLOOR OF THE GAS STATION. ACCORDING TO THIS SITE THERE ARE A COUPLE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE YEAR AND MODEL THAT REFERENCE A RECALL ABOUT THIS. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE ITSELF INTO 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODE. THE INCIDENTS USUALLY HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS. ALTHOUGH, THE INCIDENT CAN, HAS, AND WILL HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WHEN IT OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE SLOWLY AND REFUSE TO TURN. WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL SEEMINGLY LOCK THE TIRES AND IF NOT HANDLED CORRECTLY THE DRIVER CAN LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE SUV. THIS PARTICULAR DEFECT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG DODGE DURANGO 2ND GENERATION OWNERS. MANY SAY THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS ARE SKEPTICAL ON WHAT EXACT REPAIR IS NECESSARY TO FIX THE APPARENT SAFETY ISSUE. DURANGO OWNERS EXPERIENCES WITH TECHNICIANS SHOW MANY TIMES THEY REPORTEDLY POINT THE FINGER AT VARIOUS HIGH DOLLAR REPAIRS. SOME HAVE HAD SUCCESS WITH REPLACING THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR BUT SOME WHO HAVE PURSUED THIS REPAIR HAVE AGAIN REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. ORIGINALLY, THE SAFETY CONCERN WAS EXTREMELY RARE. RECENTLY, THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE CONSISTENT. IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AS IT CAN CAUSE COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE LARGE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED DODGE DURANGO FROM A USED CAR DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT FILLED UP THE GAS TANK, IT OVERFLOWED. GASOLINE WAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE ATTENDANT WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PUMP HANDLE. THE SECOND TIME I HAD THE CAR REFUELED AT COSTCO, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME, IT WAS EVEN MORE OF A SPILL AND HELD UP THE REFUELING OF OTHER VEHICLES FOR QUITE SOME TIME WHILE THE ATTENDANT MOPPED UP THE SPILT FUEL ON THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND GROUND. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THEM. THEY CHECKED MY VIN # WITH RECALL NOTICES REGARDING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL ID # 54823 WHICH AFFECTED 26,000 VEHICLES, BUT APPARENTLY NOT MY VIN #. I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATION. THEY ALSO SAID THAT MY VIN # DID NOT HAVE A RECALL NOTICE ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. RECALL ID # 54823 STATES "THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING." I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS MANUFACTURED BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD INCUR AN EXPENSE FOR A SAFETY ITEM THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS SAFETY DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A DODGE DURANGO IN 2007. AT THE TIME THE CAR HAD 24000 MILES. AROUND 2009 THE CAR WHEN I FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS AND REMOVED THE PUMP HANDLE FROM THE DURANGO THE GAS WOULD OVERFLOW ALL OVER. SO IN 2009 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NORTH FLORIDA AVE. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS FOR THIS CAR. AT THIS POINT THE CAR HAD 29,000 MILES. UP TO THIS DATE I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2010, 2011, AND 2012 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY STILL TELL ME THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. SO I DECIDED TO LOOK ONLINE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS A LOT OF 2005 DURANGO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE THE FILLER TUBE DOES NOT CLOSE AND GASOLINE COMES UP AND OUT OF THE TUBE. I WAS INFORMED THAT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, AS WELL AS, TWO RECALLS, BUT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN 3-2005 IT IS NOT COVERED. AS THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY AND FIRE THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED AS OBVIOUSLY IT AFFECTS MORE VEHICLES THEN IN THE PAST RECALL NOTICES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS CAR HAS STALLED MULTIPLE OF TIMES, WITH NO LIGHTS, NO WARNING OF IT GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BOB BOYD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR 6 YEARS AGO. IT NOW HAS AROUND 80000 MILES ON IT AND IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, IT HAS STARTED TO GET WORSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING WITH IT UNTIL THE CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT THERE, IT WAS 1 YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AS THEY SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WAS TILL THE YEAR AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN. THIS TIME MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THEM TWICE NOW AND THEY GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER, THAT THEY CANT FIX IT TILL IT BREAKS, THEY HAVE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN FIX IT, MEANWHILE, I HAVE A CAR THAT'S NOT WORKING RIGHT AND VERY DANGEROUS. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS THE FIRST TIME, AND THEN TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AFTER IT STALLED DRIVING IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND TIME, THEY KEPT IT FOR OVER A WEEK, STILL, THEY SAY THEY CANT FIX IT CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. YOU CAN GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS WIDE SPREAD ACROSS THIS COUNTRY, OTHER DODGE PRODUCTS ARE DOING THE SAME THING AND THE DEALERSHIPS AREN'T DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT. PLEASE CONTACT THESE PEOPLE AND GIVE US CONSUMERS A FIGHTING CHANCE IN GETTING THIS FIXED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE PRODUCT AFTER THIS. THANKS FOR READING THIS, AND IF YOU DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, THANK YOU DEARLY FOR DOING SO.

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, GAS SPEWS OUT OF FILLER TUBE POSING FIRE RISK, DAMAGING CLOTHING, AND ADDING VOC'S TO ATMOSPHERE. MANY COMPLAINTS OF SAME THING AND EVEN RECALLS ON VARIOUS MODEL YEARS.

ENGINE
WE WERE DRIVING BACK INTO TOWN FROM A FAMILY VISIT. WE SLOWED DOWN COMING BACK INTO TOWN AND MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT WHEN WE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE TRIED TO START IT BACK UP HOWEVER MY VEHICLE KEPT STALLING OUT. I TOOK IT TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY KEPT TELLING ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS AT THE DEALERS AND SEVERAL HUNDRED MORE AT THE OTHER TWO PLACES TO THIS DAY IT STILL CUTS OUT AND STALLS OUT WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. NOW BECAUSE IT IS A HAZARD WE DO NOT DRIVE IT AT ALL AND IT IS PARKED IN OUR BACK YARD WAITING FOR A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN...THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. SINCERELY VERY FRUSTRATED. *TR

WHEN I AM FILLING UP MY GAS TANK AT A GAS STATION, THE PUMP WILL KICK OFF WHEN FULL AND A FEW SECONDS AFTER YOU CAN HEAR FUEL RUSHING UP THE TUBE AND THEN SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ON THE GROUND. THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO RUST BECAUSE OF THIS AND I HAVE BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE TO FUEL CLEANUP AT A FEW GAS STATIONS. ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED ON SOME VEHICLES BUT SINCE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF. *TR
