ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
RECENTLY, TOYOTA HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION. IT APPEARS THAT BOTH FOOT PEDAL AND ELECTRONICS ARE AT FAULT. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD. I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH SUFFERED FROM SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION. THE "BRAIN" HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE. ONCE WHEN I GOT THE SUV AND LAST YEAR. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING IF THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER PART OR PARTS WERE MADE BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER. IN BOTH OF MY CASES IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. PLEASE PASS THIS ON SO IT WILL NOT GET LOST IN THE "SHUFFLE". *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT WITH THE 5.7L V8 HEMI. I JUST PURCHASED IT USED JANUARY 16TH OF 2010 WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO STALL (THE STEERING LOCKS UP, BRAKES HARD TO PUSH, ENGINE CUTS OFF) WHEN MAKING TURNS OCCASIONALLY FROM THE STOPPED POSITION, OR WHEN ACCELERATING. IT VARIES AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES SINCE JAN. 16TH. THE LATEST INCIDENT WAS YESTERDAY (FEB 1ST) WHILE MAKING A TURN OFF OF ROCKPORT ROAD ONTO HIGHWAY 37 NORTH IN BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 60 IN THIS STRETCH OF THE HIGHWAY, AND AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE DURANGO QUIT WORKING. I IMMEDIATELY PUT IT IN PARK AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND FLOORED IT IN REVERSE TO GET BACK ONTO ROCKPORT ROAD. I HAD GIVEN MYSELF AMPLE SPACE TO PULL ONTO THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID TRAFFIC, HOWEVER AT THOSE SPEEDS, TWO VEHICLES HAD APPROACHED RATHER FAST. THIS MORNING I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH INTO THIS PROBLEM AT WORK, AND I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIPS SAYS THE ENGINES ARE GOING BAD, THE SENSORS NEED REPLACED. WELL I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THESE ARE ALL LIES. I WORK AS A SALES REPRESENTATIVE AT THE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN BLOOMINGTON INDIANA, AND OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT (THE SAME AS EVERY SINGLE ONE IN THE US) DIAGNOSES THESE PROBLEMS "TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY", ABILITY THAT IS TERRIBLE IN MY EYES. THEY ARE THERE TO MAKE MONEY OF EVERYONE (INCLUDING ME). THEY ARE PAID ON COMMISSION JUST LIKE SALES PEOPLE. HIGHER REPLACEMENT MEANS HIGHER PAY CHECKS. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. HERE IS THE WEBSITE I CAME ACROSS WITH MORE COMPLAINTS AS WELL HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2005/DODGE/DURANGO/ENGINE+AND+ENGINE+COOLING+SYSTEM. I ONLY STARTED AT THIS DEALERSHIP 5 MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD BY MY MANAGEMENT THAT THE DURANGOS WERE GREAT. I JUST DON'T WANT ANYONE GETTING INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS SPRAYS OUT WHEN FUELING 2005 DODGE DURANGO. STARTED ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO. I CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALER AT THAT TIME AND THEY SAID THEY'D NEVER HEARD OF A PROBLEM LIKE THAT AND THAT IT MUST BE FAULTY GAS PUMPS. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. I CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY INDEPENDENT AUTO SHOP WHICH VERIFIED THAT THERE IS A FAULTY FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE AND THAT IT IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. THEY ALSO VERIFIED THAT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS SAME FAULTY PART BUT THAT THE DODGE DEALER TOLD THEM THIS VEHICLE WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL WHEN THEY CONTACTED THEM ON MY BEHALF. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO THE FUEL COMES SPILLING OUT OF THE FILL PIPE. IF I DO NOT STAND BACK IN TIME IT EJECTS FUEL ALL OVER ME, MY HANDS, MY CLOTHES, THE GROUND AND THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE OVER A WEEK AGO AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I CHECKED THE VIN FOR RECALLS AND IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT IS GOING ON WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK AND WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE FUEL FILLER NOZZLE CLICKS OFF BUT THEN GASOLINE OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK AND USUALLY SPRAYS INTO THE AIR. THIS HAPPENS 99% OF EVER REFUELING TRIP TO A GAS STATION. THE GAS USUALLY SPRAYS OUT AND GETS ALL OVER THE PERSON REFUELING. I HAD THE DODGE DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX IT. THE DODGE DEALER WANTS APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO; GAS SPILLS OUT AFTER FILLING WITH GAS AT GAS STATION. DEALER SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING RECALL FOR OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S THAT ALSO SPILL GAS AFTER FILLING. I LOGGED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR ANALYSIS AT THE DEALER, AND THEN THEY WILL DETERMINE IF AND HOW MUCH TO COVER; IF ANY. THEY SAID ITS NOT COVERED AND THAT THE SUPPLIER OF THE PART THAT HAS FAILED ON THE OTHERS IS DIFFERENT, THOUGH I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ON DISCUSSION BOARDS THAT THEY ALSO ARE NOT GETTING COVERED REPAIRS UNDER A RECALL BECAUSE THEIR VEHICLE'S VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THEY NEED TO ISSUE A NEW RECALL OR EXPAND THIS TO MORE VEHICLES, IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT MORE VEHICLES HAVE THIS SAME SAFETY HAZARD THAT THEY ARE ADMITTING TOO. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. I WANT CHRYSLER TO REPAIR FOR FREE SINCE THIS IS COVERED UNDER RECALL FOR OTHER SAME VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN PUMPING GAS, SOMETHING IN THE GAS TANK WILL NOT SHUT OFF THE GAS PUMPING INTO THE TANK. IF YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS EVERYWHERE INCLUDING ON THE PERSON PUMPING GAS, ON THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND AS THE GAS STATION. THIS IS NOT ALLEVIATED FROM CONSTANTLY PUMPING IT BY HAND INSTEAD OF THE AUTOMATIC. OUR DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE COMPLAINTS. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE RISK OF FIRE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GAS JUST FROM FILLING TANK. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR USED VEHICLE. *TW

I PUCHASED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN I FUELED UP THE VEHICLE FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ON TO THE FLOOR NO MATTER HOW CAREFULLY I FUELED THE VEHICLE. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED A FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN# SPECIFIC AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE YET DODGE REFUSE TO MAKE THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT IS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD.*CW
