FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, AT LEAST A GALLON SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN IT HAS FINISHED FUELING. THIS COULD EASILY START A FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE PEOPLE. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE STATING THAT IT IS NOT COVERED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SPILLS GAS EVERY TIME WE FILL IT UP. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THREE YEARS. DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF I FIX IT MYSELF, IT WILL COST OVER $700. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE TWO SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO. FIRST, DURING THE END OF FUEL FILLING, AS THE VAPOR LOCK ON THE PUMP ENGAGES AND SHUTS THE VALVE TO THE PUMP OFF, GAS IMMEDIATELY SPEWS FROM THE FILLER NECK, AS IF THE TANK DEPRESSURIZED. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE (3) TIMES NOW. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! THE RESULT COULD CAUSE A FIRE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE! THE OTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE A MAJOR CONCERN WITH IS THAT THE VEHICLE STALLS DURING LOW SPEED TURNING. IF AT AN INTERSECTION AND ATTEMPTING A TURN, THE VEHICLE MAY STALL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN TEN (10) TIMES IN THE EIGHT MONTHS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THIS TOO IS A MAJOR CONCERN AS IT CAN ALSO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE TO NOT ONLY MYSELF, WIFE, YOUNG CHILDREN, AND OTHERS THAT MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IF IT WHERE TO HAPPEN! I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUES TO DODGE AND THEIR RESPONSE TO ME IS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. I DO PLAN ON DOING THIS HOWEVER, WHILE RESEARCHING THE ISSUES ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND A MANY NUMBERS OF VEHICLES (SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL) WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT ISOLATED AND SHOULD BE CAUSE FOR SAFETY CONCERNS THROUGHOUT THE NATION FOR THE VEHICLES/OWNERS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED UP, BEFORE THE AUTO SHUT OFF ENGAGES ON THE FUEL PUMP, THE FUEL TANK SPEWS FUEL BACK OUT OF THE INLET ON THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED UP WHERE WE RELY ON THE AUTO SHUT OFF TO SIGNAL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL ONTO THE GROUND AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE, AND AT TIMES ONTO MYSELF OR MY WIFE, WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS THE DEALER QUOTED SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND STATED ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, THE RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC AND OURS DOES NOT QUALIFY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7L HEMI. IT STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHEN COASTING. MY WIFE COMPLAINED BUT I DIDN'T BELIEVE HER MUCH UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME. I WAS APPROACHING A TURN THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST ITS POWER STEERING. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE RPM'S AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD TURNED OFF, I THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL, COASTED AND RE-STARTED THE CAR. ALMOST HIT THE CENTER DIVIDE AND MISSED THE TURN AND IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING I'M SURE SHE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS FROM DIFFERENT FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE, GAS LEAKS OUT ONTO THE UNDERCARRIAGE WITHOUT EXITING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK AND WELL BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL. IT IS AS THOUGH SOMETHING INTERNAL TO THE FUEL NECK IS RESTRICTING THE INCOMING FUEL AND FORCING IT OUT. THE LEAKING ONLY OCCURS DURING FUELING. THE FUEL NEVER COMES OUT OF THE TOP OF THE FILLER NECK, THE ONLY INDICATOR OF A PROBLEM TO THE PERSON WHO IS FUELING THE VEHICLE IS A LARGE POOL OF GAS UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. *LN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MILES PER HOUR IN A RAIN STORM THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. ENGINE WOULD STOP AND THEN RESTART, ALL POWERED EQUIPMENT WOULD TURN OFF AND THEN BACK ON. EVERY LIGHT IN INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD GO OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO CYCLING OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN OFF WHILE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE FULL RUN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN WHEN IGNITION SWITCH WAS MOVED TO THE OFF POSITION. AFTER BEING POWERED OFF FOR A LONG TIME AND WITH THE KEY COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ANY ACCESSORIES (RADIO, AC, ETC) WHICH HAD BEEN POWERED ON BEFORE SHUTDOWN, WOULD RE-ACTIVATE. *LN

INTERIOR LIGHTING
INTERIOR LIGHTS, WON'T COME ON UNLESS YOUR PRESS THE INDIVIDUAL LIGHT POWER ON BUTTON, AND THEN THEY STAY ON UNTIL THE INDIVIDUAL LIGHT SWITCHES ARE CYCLED AGAIN. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON WHEN DOORS ARE OPENED, OR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO POWER ON VIA DIMMER SWITCH. DODGE MECHANICS CAN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT THIS ONE. *LN

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK. THIS BEGAN OCCURRING IN DECEMBER 2010 AND OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. ESTIMATED .5 - 1 GALLON OF FUEL IS SPILLED EACH TIME. THIS ISSUE IS SIMILAR TO EXISTING NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 09V003000 / RECALL RECALL 09V-003 /RECALL 05V-034. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY STATED MY VIN # IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALLS STATED ABOVE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. MY DURANGO HAS A BUILD DATE OF MARCH 2005 AND THE RECALLS ABOVE ONLY COVERS DURANGOS BUILT THROUGH NOVEMBER 2004. I AM ASKING THE INVESTIGATION BE REOPENED TO DETERMINE IF THE EXISTING RECALLS NEED TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER ADDITIONAL BUILD DATES/VIN NUMBERS.
