ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO V8 HEMI, SEVERAL MONTHS BACK, STARTED LOSING ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING INCLUDING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I WOULD HAVE TO TRY AND COAST TO A STOP WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DURANGO WOULD THEN RESTART AND RUN FINE. THIS HAS BEEN INCREASING IN FREQUENCY OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH IT OCCURING TWICE YESTERDAY, MARCH 29,2010. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS OCCURED WHILE TURNING, SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC, AND WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH AN INTERESCTION. I HAVE CALLED DODGE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH NO ANSWER AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT, AS IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THERE ARE MANY SITES WITH OTHER OWNERS VOICING THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEM AND ALSO LIST THAT THIS WAS BROUGHT TO DODGE'S ATTENTION IN THE PAST AND THEY DIDNT FEEL THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I ONLY HOPE IT DOESN'T COST SOIMEONE'S LIFE FOR THEM TO ADMIT THAT IT IS OF CONCERN TO THEM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH I BOUGHT NEW AND NOW HAS 43500 MILES. FOR THE PAST MONTH, EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK AT ANY STATION AND PUMP, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF CORRECTLY AND THEN GAS COMES POURING OUT OF THE TANK ONTO ANYONE STANDING CLOSE AND RUNS DOWN THE CAR ONTO THE GROUND. I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF GASOLINE COME BACK OUT OF THE TANK. I SEE THIS AS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHICH TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE PLATFORM BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALL SAFETY OR OTHERWISE. SO I THOUGHT I SHOULD CONTACT NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL WOULD SHOOT BACK OUT OF THE TANK INSTEAD OF STOPPING WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALLS 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP) AND 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 111,520.

AT THE CONCLUSION OF FILLING MY VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE FOLLOWING THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF, APPROXIMATELY 8 OUNCES OF GASOLINE SPEWS FROM THE FILL NOZZLE ONTO THE GROUND. THIS BEGAN OCCURRING 9 MONTHS AGO. PRIOR TO THAT TIME IT NEVER OCCURRED. I HAVE HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. THIS IS NOT IN INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCE. ONCE IT BEGAN EXHIBITING THIS BEHAVIOR, IT DOES IT CONSISTENTLY EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK IN MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, GAS WOULD SPILL/SPLASH OUT OF THE TANK INSTEAD OF STOPPING WHEN FULL. WE FINALLY TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID WE NEEDED A NEW GAS TANK AS SOME "FLOW" RELATED PART WITHIN THE GAS TANK WAS BAD. THE SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. WHEN THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIND A PART, THEY INFORMED ME IT WOULD TAKE A MONTH FOR THE PART TO COME IN AS THERE WERE OVER 100 ON BACK-ORDER, ALL RELATED TO THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMED ODD TO ME THAT A LESS-THAN-5-YEAR-OLD CAR WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT HAD TO HAVE ITS GAS TANK REPLACED, BUT IT SEEMED MORE ODD THAT THERE WERE OVER 100 OTHERS AT A MINIMUM LIKE ME AWAITING THE SAME PART. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE WAY THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT WAS BUILT AND/OR INSTALLED.

REF MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO . THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WILL NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. *DT

OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH A 5.7 HEMI ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF OUT OF THE BLUE WHILE DRIVING HOME. IT IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. DRIVING SPEED WAS AROUND 35 MPH. IT HAPPENED AS WE LET UP ON THE THROTTLE. IT DOES RESTART BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO STOP AND CONTROL WHEN IT HAPPENS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN#[XXX] BUILT 09/04 THAT WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK GASOLINE SPITS BACK BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THERE IS A CHRYSLER RECALL (E01 AND H45) AND MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE RECALL DATES. CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO DENY THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT HAS OFFERED A "GOOD WILL REPLACEMENT" WHICH COSTS ME $100 OUT OF MY POCKET. MY CHRYSLER CASE/REFERENCE # IS [XXX] . THE LOCAL DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE DEFECT WITH THE TANK WAS THE SAME AS THE RECALL. THE NHTSA ACTION # IS RQ08005. THERE IS A HIGH POTENTIAL OF FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND DEATH OR INJURY TO WHO EVER IS NEAR THE VEHICLE WHILE FUELING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THERE IS NO PARTICULAR EVENT LEADING UP TO THE FOLLOWING FAILURE--IT HAPPENED AND THEN NEVER STOPPED HAPPENING. EVERY TIME MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IS REFUELED, THE GASOLINE BACKWASHES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE REQUIRING THAT I DODGE THE FOUNTAIN OF FUEL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. MY RESEARCH REVEALED THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN PLACED ON THIS MODEL FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS, BUT DODGE CLAIMS THAT MY VIN ISN'T WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH COST $70. THE DIAGNOSIS IS THAT THE CHARCOAL EVAP CANISTER IS FILLED WITH "LIQUID" CAUSED BY OVERFILLING THE TANK AND DODGE REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIR. I CONTEND THAT THE EVAP ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE VERY PROBLEM OF THE FUEL BACKWASH. MY VISIT TO DODGEFORUM.COM REVEALED THAT THE FUEL OVERFLOW IS A COMMON PROBLEM. GIVEN THE EXISTING RECALL, IT'S OBVIOUS THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT DODGE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CORRECT. *TR

WHEN PUTTING GAS INTO THE TANK OF MY VEHICLE, IT SPITS GAS BACK OUT. AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE GETTING SURGES IN THE SPEED OF THE ENGINE, SEEMS TO BE MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN SPEEDING UP FROM LOW RPM. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF INSTANCES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT MY DEALER SAYS NO RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS MATTER. THEY ARE REPLACING THE GAS TANK AT NO CHARGE, BUT SAY THAT I MUST PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND A REPLACEMENT SENSOR FOR THE SURGING. THEY CLAIM THAT NEITHER PROBLEM IS A RECALL, NOR COVERED IN MY EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM BEING CHARGED CLOSE TO $300, INCLUDING RENTAL CAR. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE GAS DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF CAUSING AN OVERFLOW EVERY TIME. THIS IS THE EXACT THING THAT IS DESCRIBED IN A RECALL FOR '05 DURANGOS HOWEVER MINE DOES NOT HAVE A QUALIFYING VIN #. MY VEHICLE HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, DUE TO NOT BEING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR THE RECALL THEY SAID IT WAS MY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER STATED ONLY AFTER THAT WAS DONE THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IF FURTHER BUT COULD NOT ASSURE ME THEY WOULD COVER ANY OF THE REPAIR BILL. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS DONE AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE UP FRONT EXPENSE. FOR THE MEANWHILE I DO NOT FILL MY TANK ALL THE WAY. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO, EVERY TIME I FUEL UP THE TANK TO FULL FUEL SPRAYS BACK AT ME, THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD WHEN FUELING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY PARTICULAR DURANGO WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 32,000 MILES ON IT AND IS USED TO MAINLY TRANSPORT MY TWINS. I KNOW THAT DODGE HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN DURANGOS HOWEVER ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE A LOOK AT MINE AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING THE RECALLED DURANGOS ARE DOING. I FEEL DODGE HAS A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM OR DEFECT WITH THE GAS TANKS ON ALL DURANGOS IN THIS YEAR RANGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL UP MY TANK. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? *TR

FUEL SPITS OUT OF THE GASOLINE FILLER TUBE WHEN REFUELING COMPLETED. HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE TANK IS "TOPPED OFF". SPEED OF REFILL HAS NO EFFECT. FAST OR SLOW, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. HAPPENED THE LAST THREE TIME I REFUELED. DEALER SAYS MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IS NOT COVERED IN PAST RECALLS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH GASOLINE THE GAS OVERFILLS AS THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL WITH GAS AT ANY GAS STATION. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH DODGE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN 2005 DODGE DURANGOS BUT MY 2005 DURANGO IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS HAS NOT CAUSED ANY CRASH, INJURY OR FIRE, BUT I FEEL THAT IT IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK AND THAT IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. I HAVE LOOKED AT MANY ONLINE MESSAGE BOARDS AND IT SEAMS THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF DODGE DURANGOS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING BY DODGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. HE STATED THAT WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, THE GASOLINE WOULD SPEW BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. HE WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL DESCRIBING THE SAME FAILURE HE WAS EXPERIENCING (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 09V003000: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY) AND CONTACTED HIS DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED HIM THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL CAMPAIGN AND THAT REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS 71,300.

GAS SHOOTS OUT OF FILLER NECK FROM GAS TANK AFTER DONE FILLING UP.THIS USE TO HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY THREE FILL UPS BUT NOW ITS ALL THE TIME.THE OTHER DAY IT SHOT OUT AND SOAKED A WOMEN ACROSS FROM ME. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS A RECALL OUT ON THE DURANGO BUT NOT MINE WHICH IS RIDICULOUS.I CALLED DODGE WITH NO SATISFACTION.THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT.I TALKED WITH CONNER AT CHRYSLER-THE COMPLAINT # IS 19381977.I TOOK THE DURANGO TO SPITZER IN AKRON OHIO AND THEY ORDERED ME A FUEL TANK BUT THEY SAID ITS ON BACK ORDER(GO FIGURE). I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRENTYWITH A 50.00 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE BUT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IN MY OPINION SINCE ITS GOT THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE CARS AND TRUCKS IN ITS CLASS. *TR

FUEL SPURTS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER OPENING WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK. ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF GAS COMES BACK OUT AFTER THE FILLER NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. IT HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY 2 OUT OF 3 TIMES FILLING THE TANK. WHEN THE FUEL COMES OUT OF THE FILLER NECK IT HAS GOTTEN ONTO ME AND MY CLOTHES AND OF COURSE IT ENDS UP ON THE GROUND AT THE FILLING STATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM, THEY CONFIRMED THERE IS EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHEN FILLING THE TANK. THE SOLUTION THEY PROPOSED IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AND FILLER. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS REPAIR COMPLETED YET. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS THE FUEL COMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND AND MYSELF. I LOOKED AT RECALLS FOR CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S BUT AFTER CONTACTING THEM THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN HAVING GASOLINE SPILL OVER MYSELF, VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING AROUND ME. I TALKED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP (PHIL SPADY CHRYSLER DODGE IN COLUMBUS, NE ) AND THEY SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING THAT THEY RECALLED OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S FOR. *TR
