FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO FOR THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CHRYSLER STATES I MUST PAY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WHICH IS NON REFUNDABLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THIS VEHICLE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SHUTS OFF WHILE MOVING DOWN THE ROAD. STARTED OUT ONLY DURING SLOW SPEEDS, BUT HAS STARTED TO DO IT WHILE ACTUALLY CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD. NO WARNING, JUST TOTAL LOSS OFF STEERING, BRAKES AND ENGINE. LUCKILY IT HAS CRANKED BACK UP AND ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD. I ALSO HAVE HAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATE THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND THE CAR WILL JUST REV UP AND LOSE POWER. I HAVE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED (FLUIDS, OIL PUMP, RADIATOR, PLUGS AND WIRES ETC) AND FIND NOTHING WRONG. OF COURSE NOTHING WILL BE WRONG UNTIL THE ENGINE BLOWS, WHICH THEN CAN BE FIXED AT MY EXPENSE. ANOTHER PROBLEM TO ADD TO THE LIST IS THE LIFTGATE ACUATOR STOPPED WORKING WHICH HAS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH. THE PLASTIC GEAR IN THE MOTOR IS BROKE BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE PART TO FIX IT. *LN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 05 DODGE DURANGO WITH 5.7 HEMI IS STALLING WITH NO WARNING. NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES, NO CHECK LIGHTS COME ON, THE RADIO REMAINS ON BUT THATS IT. I CAN PUT IN PARK OR NUTERAL AND IT COMES BACK ON. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING, THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!! SEARCHING THE WEB I HAVE FOUND THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM I THINK ITS TIME DODGE FIGURES THIS OUT BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PURCHASE 2005 DURANGO 3 WEEKS AGO. FILLED THE GAS TANK 4 TIMES AND EACH TIME GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE GAS TANK AFTER FUELING STOPS. GAS WENT ON THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND PERSON FUELING. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SOON YOU STOP FUELLING. CONTACT CHRYSLER REGARDING THE ISSUE AND KNOWN SIMILAR RECALL FOR OTHER VIN NUMBERS. WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED AND I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND REPAIR FEE. DID STATE THAT IT MAY BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THAT WE PURCHASED, BUT WOULD HAVE TO PAY 200 DEDUCTIBLE. I EXPLAINED THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR A DODGE DEFECT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T A DEFECT. I EXPLAINED THAT MANY OTHER VEHICLES - THAT WEREN'T A PART OF THE RECALL- WERE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE CATCHES ON FIRE OR CATCHES A GAS STATION ON FIRE. I WAS IGNORED AND TOLD THAT IF I WANTED IT FIXED, I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND BE HAPPY I HAVE A WARRANTY TO PAY FOR IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE TANK OVERFLOWS AND SPEWS OUT GASOLINE PRIOR TO THE GAS PUMP SHUTTING OFF. THIS OCCURS WHEN MANUALLY DOWN THE TRIGGER ON THE GAS PUMP AND WAITING FOR THE PUMP TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. I DID NOT LOCK THE GAS PUMP TRIGGER INTO PLACE AND WAS NOT ATTEMPTING TO "TOP OFF" THE GAS TANK. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT SOME 2005 DURANGOS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF A SIMILAR ISSUE. MY VEHICLE SHOWS NO RECALLS BUT CLEARLY HAS A SAFETY ISSUE RELATING TO THE GAS TANK.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE FELT HOT AND THERE WAS SMOKE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT WAITED FOR THE VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN AND DROVE TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIANS NOTICED THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD MELTED. THE TECHNICIANS REPLACED THE LIFTERS, WIRING HARNESS, INTAKE MANIFOLD AND THE OXYGEN SENSOR. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT CLOSE AND GAS ALWAYS SPILLS OUT. I AM AFRAID THAT GAS SPILLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. AT TIMES,WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF IF I AM MOVING SLOWLY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2006. THE FIRST YEAR, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR STALLING ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN ABOUT THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVERY TIME, NOTHING WAS RESOLVED. AFTER THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR THE TIME TO CONTINUE BRINGING THE TRUCK IN FOR A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIND. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE JUST DEALT WITH THIS TRUCK STALLING ON ITS OWN. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED SPILLING OUT GAS IF IT WAS FILLED UP. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL UNTIL I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. I CONTACT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN # AND TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS LISTED ON MY PARTICULAR TRUCK. I EXPLAINED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY CAR HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE AND THAT GAS SPILLED OUT. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS AFRAID THAT GAS WAS SPILLING FROM THE TANK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE EXPENSIVE CHARGES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS SINCE I AM PAYING $700 A MONTH FOR A TRUCK THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN FINANCED AT THAT AMOUNT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND IS NOT WORTH THE AMOUNT STILL OWED. *LN THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON-COLLISION ON APRIL 25, 2011 AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALSO, THE REAR WIPER MADE A WHISTLING NOISE. UPDATED 08/12/11

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON 4 OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE TRYING TO TURN ON A INTERSECTION AT A LOW SPEED. ALL FLUIDS ARE IN THE CORRECT LEVELS AND NO FAULT LIGHTS APPEAR. THE VEHICLE DOES START NORMALLY AFTER A SECOND. THE INCIDENTS ARE SPORADIC HOWEVER ARE CONCERNING BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AN MANY HAVE COMPLAINED. THE DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW FAULT CODE. I TRIED CONTACTING DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT IT BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN PUTTING GASOLINE INTO MY TANK, GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.. I ESTIMATE THAT APPROXIMATELY 4-5 CUPS OF GAS END UP ON THE GROUND, ON MY FEET, AND ON MY CLOTHES. IT WILL CONTINUALLY SPEW OUT UNLESS I BARELY DEPRESS THE FILL UP ARM AT THE PUMP. THIS RESULTS IN NOT ONLY GASOLINE OVER THE GROUND AND MYSELF, BUT IT WILL OFTEN TAKE ME ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO FILL MY TANK. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER/DODGE CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL THAT WAS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAME YEAR MODEL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLE IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS LISTED IN RECALL 09V003000 -- AT THE END OF REFUELING, SOME FUEL ESCAPES FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK, WHICH, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. THIS IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE, ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF ESCAPED FUEL VARIED FROM STATION TO STATION. DEALER SUGGESTED MY VEHICLE IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER, AND THEREFORE ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE PAID OUT OF POCKET.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT OF MY FUEL TANK. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS STATION NOZZLE, BUT REALIZED THAT AFTER USING SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. AFTER COMPLETING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I SAW THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAME COMPLAINT. I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN ON MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I ASKED FOR MY NEXT STEPS, AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I DID, AND WAS TOLD I COULD PAY THE $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. BUT, I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY "SEVERAL" HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, GAS SPEWED ALL OVER MY HANDS AND FEET. SO, AFTER CLEANING MYSELF UP THE BEST I COULD, I DROVE HOME SMELLING GAS FUMES. I HAVE TO LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AND LOOK AT THE GALLONS ON THE FUEL PUMP TO DETERMINE WHEN I NEED TO STOP ADDING FUEL. I THEN GO TURN THE KEY TO SEE HOW FULL THE TANK IS. I THEN PROCEED AGAIN WITH THE SAME STEPS UNTIL I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH GAS OR AT TIMES, GAS COMES SPEWING OUT. I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF AN INJURY THAT COULD OCCUR TO MY EYES IF GAS GOT IN THEM DUE TO ME LISTENING SO CLOSELY FOR THE SOUND OF A "FULL" TANK. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN WHICH THE VIN NUMBER WASN'T COVERED, AND I THINK THIS IS LUDICROUS, IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. WILL IT TAKE THE ACTIONS OF MY LAWYER TO GET THIS RESOLVED?
