FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE FILL TUBE WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW THE TANK IS FILLED. WHEN FULL, THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE DOES SHUT OFF BUT ONLY AFTER GAS HAS SPURTED OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE FENDER. I NEED TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT DATE IS LISTED BELOW.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FAILS CAUSING GAS TO LEAK OUT AT CONCLUSION OF A FUELING WHEN STATIONARY. THIS HAS DAMAGED THE REAR QUARTER PANEL OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS THE SAME CONDITION AS COVERED IN CHRYSLER RECALL NO. H45, HOWEVER, THEY ONLY RECALLED 18,951 MANUFACTURED FROM OCT-NOV 2004. THIS DURANGO (MARCH 2005), AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED, IS OUTSIDE OF THOSE DATES AND YET HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. H45 SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL 2005 DURANGO MODELS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SPITS BACK AT END OF REFUELING. DEALER MENTIONED A RECALL ON THE INLET CHECK VALVE BUT THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. IT SHOULD BE. IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN A GUSH OF FUEL SPLATTERS ALL OVER THE ATTENDANT, MY CAR AND THE GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL UP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE TANK UP WITH FUEL, RATHER THAN STOPPING AUTOMATICALLY, THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND FUEL BURPS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AT A GAS STATION FILLING UP WITH FUEL. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE THE COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK FILLER INLET CHECK VALVE OR FUEL TANK FILLER. EACH ARE COMMON RECALLS FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE UNDER THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING WITH FUEL AT THE END IF NOT STOOPED REGULATORY TO ALLOW THE FUEL TO EMPTY INTO THE TANK THE FUEL WILL COME OUT OF THE FILLING HOLE AND KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU STOP THE FUEL PUMP. ONCE YOU STOP THE FUEL P[UMP IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 3 SEC TO STOP COMING OUT BUT UNTIL THEN YOU WILL HAVE ABOUT 1 QUART TO HALF A GALLON OF FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE DURANGO, TIRE, AND GROUND

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, SVC AWD LIGHT COMES ON, THEN GOES OUT. NO PROBLEM THERE BUT THAT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. IN A SLOW HARD TURN ON REVERSE, THE WHEELS SEEM TO BIND UP WITH AN UNCONTROLLED LOCK INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. WITH MY RESEARCH INTO THIS PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. 72 PAGES OF THE SAME COMPLAINT !! SOME EVEN TELL THE OF CAR SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY SLOWING THE CAR INTO DANGEROUSLY SLOW SPEED . I TRACED COMPLAINTS BACK TO 2004 , ALL DEAL WITH THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFT MOTOR OR THE WIRING CONTROLLING IT. ALSO RELATED TO THE A/C CONNECTION, OR THE AWD, 4 HIGH AND 4 LOW LOCK SWITCH. I EXPERIENCED THE SHIFT INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IN SLOW SPEED TURNING AND BACKING BUT TO HAVE IT SHIFT INTO 4 LO LOCK DURING DRIVING HAS ME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT ALL. OVER 350 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH ONLY ONE WEB SITE SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR DESIGN PROBLEM THAT DODGE HAS NOT ADDRESSED AT ALL. FYI I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AT KOCH 33 DEALER AND THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE THE PROBLEM IN ADVANCED. THANKS RICH

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
'TAKATA RECALL' THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITH MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 4.7 LITER V8, 4 WHEEL DRIVE SUV THAT ARE ALARMING. EVERY SINGLE TIME I FUEL THE VEHICLE IT SHOOTS GASOLINE RIGHT BACK ON OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHERE YOU INSERT THE FUEL NOZZLE AND COVERS ME WITH GAS! PLUS I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SEVERAL TIMES, ALONG WITH THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, AND MAP SENSOR JUST TO TRY AND CORRECT THE STALLING WHILE EITHER SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP, OR IT ALSO OCCURS QUITE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT NORMAL OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE AND JUST IDLING. THE RPM GAUGE INSIDE THE VEHICLE STARTS FLUCTUATING IRRATICALLY BEFORE STALLING. YOU LOSE ALL POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS! ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT'S PRESENT IS HARD SHIFTING, OR THE VEHICLE FAILS TO SHIFT UNTIL IT ALMOST PEGS OUT THE RPM GAUGE. IT'S LIKE BOTH IDLE AND SHIFT ARE AFFECTED CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY, TUNEUPS, ETC. HOWEVER DESPITE STAYING ON TOP OF ALL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS THE VEHICLE STILL RUNS POORLY AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AT 78,000 MILES. IT'S NOW GOT 113K ON IT AND I HONESTLY THINK THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY TO ADDRESS ALL OF THESE ISSUES! THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND THE PARTS REPLACED IT CONTINUES TO STALL OUT AND SHIFT INCORRECTLY THERE'S 18 TROUBLE CODES THAT KEEP COMING UP INCLUDING THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH REALLY DOESN'T SEEM TO FIT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON. NO TROUBLE CODES FOR THE FUEL TANK SHOOTING GAS OUT OF THE INLET PIPE THAT LEADS TO GAS TANK. THIS STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY, CITY DRIVING, OR LITERALLY PARKED OR SLOWING DOWN FROM ANY SPEED. ANY KIND OF WEATHER CONDITION. PROBLEM STARTED 8/01/2014 TO PRESENT DAY.

POWER TRAIN
THE AWD ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES ALL ON ITS OWN. IT CAN ENGAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING WHICH LOCKS UP THE FRONT WHEELS, IT ALSO ENGAGES WHEN YOU LOCK / UNLOCK THE CAR. I FIND IT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALSO SAID SERVICE 4WD ALL THE TIME. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE ARE MANY PAGES ONLINE OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED 5.7. MY DURANGO LOCKS ITS SELF INTO 4X4 ON IT'S OWN. I CANT DISENGAGE IT. THIS HAPPENS EITHER SITTING STILL OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE CARRIED IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME $2210+TAX TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE AND THE WIRING HARNESS. I GOT MY TRUCK BACK AND IT WAS STILL LOCKING IN 4X4. I CARRIED IT BACK AND THEY SAID THE WIRING HARNESS IS DISCONTINUED SO THEY REPAIRED THE WIRE TO THE TRANSFERCASE AND THEY SAID WHEN THEY FIX A WIRE IT CAUSES ANOTHER TO GO OUT SO THEY FIXED IT ONCE AGAIN AND SAID I CAN NO LONGER USE THE WARRANTY ON IT BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND THEY WILL HAVE TO START CHARGING ME EVERY TIME BUT WHEN I GOT IT BACK I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND IT LOCKED IN 4X4 WHEN I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC WHICH CAUSED ME TO TURN WIDE CAUSING ME TO PULL INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC ALMOST HAVING A HEAD ON COLLISION. I NEED THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY, IT CAN OCCUR SITTING STILL OR MOVING.
