FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK USING THE AUTO FILL AT THE GAS STATION, WHENEVER THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF GAS SHOOTS OUT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I WENT ONLINE AND LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL WAS EVEN ISSUED. ARMED WITH THIS INFORMATION I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED MAR 05. I WILL ALSO BE CALLING CHRYSLER AND COMPLAINING TO THEM. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO SINCE MULTIPLE YEARS AND EVEN 05 CARS ON COVERED IN THE RECALL ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH OUR 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN IT. MADE A LEFT TURN, TRAVELING AT APPROX. 5-10 MILES PER HOUR WHEN VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. NO STEERING...NO POWER BRAKING...NOTHING. TRUCK WAS ABLE TO RESTART IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE EVENT. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINTS. I'M NOT SURPRISED. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NOT PUT OUR CHILDREN IN IT. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 66,000. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN AN INTERSECTION OR MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN FULL, THEN GAS IS EXPELLED FROM THE TANK. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN DEC 04 AND THE RECALL COVERED CARS MANUFACTURED THROUGH NOV 04. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE OR APPEAL AVAILABLE TO GET THIS RECALL EXTENDED. CLEARLY DODGE DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS SOON AS THEY THINK THEY DID, JUDGING BY THE HUNDREDS OF US WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHENEVER I AM STOPPED OR IDLING, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. THE RPM GAUGE WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN AND THE ENGINE WILL REV BY ITSELF, WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL FLICKER, THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL IS OFF BUT THE RUNNING/OUTSIDE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. THE STEERING TIGHTENS UP,BUT THE BRAKES WORK. THE CAR IS ABLE TO BE PUT IN PARK, SHUT OFF AND STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, SO FAR. IT NORMALLY ONLY HAPPENS WHEN GOING AT SLOWER SPEEDS, OR STOPPING AND BEING IDLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS, NORMALLY ONCE A WEEK, BUT THIS PAST WEEKEND IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. WE NOW DON'T LEAVE TOWN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE IT JUST AROUND TOWN. I HAVE KIDS AND DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN WHILE IM DRIVING AT ACCELERATED SPEED. ACCORDING TO ALL OF THE 100'S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND, NO ONE IS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG, DEALERSHIPS CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM OR CODES. WHICH HAS BEEN MY ISSUE. PLUS, DODGE DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP. I WAS TOLD I SHOULDN'T LOOK ON THE INTERNET FOR COMPLAINTS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL LEAKAGE OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS HAPPENS FAIRLY OFTEN WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. NOTE THAT RECALL CAMPAIGNS 09V003000 AND 05V034000 DESCRIBE THIS ISSUE EXACTLY BUT CHRYSLER SAYS THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK. CURRENT RECALLS FROM CHRYSLER ARE CHRYSLER RECALL E01 AND H45. NHTSA RECALL 09V003000. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LOCAL DEALER, LINDER DODGE, NEW LONDON CT. FUEL TANK PROBLEM DETERMINED TO BE SAME AS RECALL. AS OF 04/19/10, CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY $260 FOR REPLACEMENT OF FUEL TANK. 2005 DODGE DURANGO SUV. I KNOW OF SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS SIMILAR SITUATION ON AN 2005 DURANGO, MANUFACTURED 12/04. MY DURANGO WAS MANUFACTURED 03/05. THE FUEL SPILL PROBLEMS HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER PAST 5 MONTHS. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A CHRYSLER DEFECT, WHEN OTHERS DON'T HAVE TO PAY? I HAVE HAD FUEL SPILL ON ME.HAD TO STOP WHAT I WAS DOING, GO HOME, AND CHANGE CLOTHES, ALONG WITH DEAL WITH DEAL WITH ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE OF VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND MY BUILD DATE IS OUT OF RECALL DATE OF MANUFACTURE, THAT I HAVE HARD COPIES FOR. BUT IT SEEMS THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED, BECAUSE THE DEFECT IS OCCURRING IN A LARGER NUMBER OF VEHICLES. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH 5.7 LT. HEMI.. EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL IN THE VEHICLE GAS SPRAYS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER TO HAVE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED. THE DEALERSHIP RAN THE VIN AND ADVISED ME THAT. THE GAS SPILLAGE ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED BUT IT WILL NOT BE COVERED BY DODGE BECAUSE THE VIN DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RECALL RANGE.....I CALLED DODGE AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM ONLY TO RECEIVE NO HELP. *TR

GAS TANK FILLER NECK. A VEHICLE RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR LEAKING GAS WHEN FUELING. DEALER CHECKED AND STATED CAR WAS FINE AND NOT EFFECTED. SINCE I HAVE FILLED VEHICLE (3) TIMES AND (2) OF THOSE TIME GAS HAS COME OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WITH SO MUCH FORCE IT SPLASHED ALL OVER ME AND SURROUNDING EQUIPMENT. INCIDENT HAPPENED BEFORE INSPECTION AS WELL AND DODGE WAS TOLD ABOUT IT AT TIME OF SERVICE BUT THEY STILL STATED NO ISSUE EXISTED. THE TANK IS DEFECTIVE, AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. POSSES A LARGE THREAT OF IGNITION WHEN GAS AND GAS VAPOR SHOOTS ON THE PERSON PUMPING GAS. INSPECTION METHOD IS INADEQUATE AND NOT WORKING. ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT AND DODGE IS NOT FIXING THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH A ISSUE EXISTS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN# [XXX] . IT HAS 71,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, IT BLOWS THE GAS BACK OUT THE FILLER NECK EVERY TIME I CLOSE THE PUMP NOZZLE TO STOP FILLING THE TANK. EVERYTIME I STOP PUMPING GAS IT BLOWS APPROXIMATELY A HALF GALLON OF GAS ALL OVER ME, THE GROUND, GAS PUMP, VEHICLE, AND WHATEVER ELSE IS AROUND. THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CATCH FIRE AND BURN DOWN THE GAS STATION, VEHICLE, AND INNOCENT BY-STANDERS ETC. IT ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET INTO THE WATER THROUGH RUN OFF. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE IN THE FILLER NECK AND THAT THE WHOLE GAS TANK HAD TO BE CHANGED. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME DURANGOS FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM BUT, THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VIN#. I DON'T HAVE THE $650 TO FIX IT. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE RECALL WOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER MY VEHICLE AND ALL THE OTHER I FOUND ON THE INTERNET. THOSE THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NOT COVER UNDER THE RECALL ARE JUST AS DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A PROBLEM WHERE ABOUT 3-6 CUPS OF FUEL COMES SPEWING FROM THE FILLER HOLE WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. THIS "SPEWING" OCCURS JUST AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE "CLICKS" OFF SIGNIFYING THAT THE TANK IS FULL. THE FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND SURROUNDING PEOPLE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFILL THE TRUCK. I FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT OTHER DURANGO'S ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM UNDER NHTSA RECALL 09V003000 AND 05V034000. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. MY DEALER, ORANGE PARK DODGE, DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WHICH IS THE SAME PART RECALLED ON OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN BEFORE IT CAN BE REPLACED. SINCE CHRYSLER IS CHANGING THE PART FOR FREE ON RECALLED VEHICLES, BUT MY 2005 DURANGO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS ALSO INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE TANK WOULD LEAK OUT IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT SINCE THE CHECK VALVE IS NOT CLOSING AS DESIGNED. *TR
