FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 DODGE DURANGO - EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP, IT SPITS GAS BACK OUT. DEALER SAYS THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL REGARDING THIS, BUT I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD STORIES OF OTHER OWNERS GETTING THIS REPLACED BY REPORTING IT THROUGH NHTSA. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
STARTING ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO EVERY TIME I FILLED MY GAS TANK A LARGE VOLUME OF GAS WOULD SPLASH OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AS THE TANK APPEARED TO BE APPROACHING FULL. IN ADDITION, THE "GASCAP" LIGHT WOULD CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATE. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN UNBELIEVABLE FIRE HAZARD WITH THIS SITUATION. I CALLED CHRYSLER/DODGE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE EVENTS BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DODGE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD TRY TO WORK WITH ME ON THE EXPENSE BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE WHOLE THING IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY ARE ON BACKORDER BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM EXISTING ON SO MANY VEHICLES. IN ADDITION, THE COST ESTIMATE IS $854.45 APPARENTLY DODGE/CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT ARE UNWILLING TO FIX IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ABOUT A WEEK AGO, MY HUSBAND WAS FILLING THE GAS TANK AND ONCE THE TANK WAS FULL, THE FUEL BEGAN TO SPEW OUT OF THE TANK. GAS LEAKED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THEN JUST YESTERDAY, I FAILED TO REMEMBER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE FUEL TANK AND FILLED IT AGAIN. JUST AS I WALKED TOWARD THE VEHICLE, THE GAS METER STOPPED AND THERE WAS A CLICK AND GAS SPEWED ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. I CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE PERSON TOOK MY CLAIM AND SOMEONE THAT DID NOT GIVE ME HIS NAME CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT INSPECT OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE DIAGNOSED ON 1/13/2010 AT CARMAX, WHICH IS WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY VEHICLE SPITS BACK FUEL EVERYTIME I FILL UP. I BELIEVE IT IS BEING CAUSE BY STUCK INLET CHECK VALUES IN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBES. THERE IS A RECALL ON MY MODEL VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS RQ08005. BUT I AM BEING TOLD BY THE DEALER THAN MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, HOWEVER I AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT SPEWS GAS VIOLENTLY FROM THE GAS TANK ONCE YOU FILL IT UP. THIS IS A KNOW RECALL FROM DODGE BUT MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS RECENTLY STARTED HAPPENING WITH MY DODGE AND HAS HAPPENED THE LAST 5 TIMES WE PURCHASED GAS. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND PUTS MY FAMILY AND OTHERS IN LIFE IN JEOPARDY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED. RECENTLY, EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, BUT IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, A GREAT DEAL OF GASOLINE ERUPTS FROM THE FILLER TUBE OF THE DURANGO. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE AND WITH DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS. RESEARCH REVEALS THAT CHRYSLER ACTUALLY ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF VIN'S FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S, BUT SINCE MY DURANGO'S VIN DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL, CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS A SAFETY ISSUE, POTENTIALLY REQUIRING ME TO PAY A $700 REPAIR BILL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, BUT CHRYSLER IS FAILING TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S INITIAL RECALL SHOULD BE BROADENED TO COVER ALL DODGE DURANGOS. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. SHE NOTICED THAT THE HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS WERE TURNING ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN AND THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAD A MILDEW ODOR. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE ODOR WAS IN A TUBE THAT WAS LOCATED ON THE SUN ROOF. THE DEALER STATED THE WATER DRAINED FROM THE TUBE INTO THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CLEAN THE TUBE BUT THEY WOULD NOT CLEAN THE MILDEW. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE MANUFACTURER. SHE STATED THAT THE MANUAL DOES NOT ADVISE THE OWNER ABOUT THE TUBE LOCATED ON THE SUN ROOF; THEREFORE, THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 79,885. THE DRAIN TUBES THAT WERE COMING FROM THE SUNROOF WERE CLOGGED. UPDATED 01/12/10. UPDATED 03/18/10 *BF

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED (HEMI) SPEWS ABOUT 1 QUART OF GAS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. DEALER SAYS MY VIN # ( MFG. DATE 3/05) IS NOT COVERED BY THEIR 1ST OR 2ND RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER CARE @ 1-800-853-1403 AND WAS TOLD ALTHOUGH I APPEAR TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM STARTED APPROX. APRIL 2009. I HAVE LEARNED TO STAND TO THE SIDE WHEN I FILL UP SO I DON'T GET DRENCHED WITH GASOLINE WHEN I FILL UP ! *TR

ANYTIME I FUEL, MY J2005 DURANGO SPITS A LOT GASOLINE OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST I FUEL OR WHETHER OR NOT I TOP OFF THE TANK. I CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE WILL NOT INCLUDE MY 2005 DURANGO VEHICLE IN THE FUEL TANK RECALL AS NOTED IN YOUR CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V003000 OR 05V3400, EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE SAME ISSUE THE RECALLS WERE TO FIX. I WAS TOLD MY MILEAGE WAS TO HIGH TO BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN FEB OF 09 & NOW IT IS EVERY TIME I FUEL. *TR

THERE WAS NO INCIDENT THAT LED TO THIS HAPPENING. IT SEEMED TO BEGIN FOR NO REASON. WHENEVER I FILL MY GAS TANK, IF I DO NOT STOP THE PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL, IT OVERFLOWS. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME I FILL THE TANK FULL. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPILLS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. DODGE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON 26,000 OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS, BUT REFUSES TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THIS RECALL #05V-034. I HAVE NO REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF, FUEL WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE FUEL FILL HOLE. THIS HAS DONE THIS REPEATEDLY, AND IS TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOES IT EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, FUEL IS ALL OVER THE GROUND, SHOES, PANTS AND ANYTHING ELSE NEAR THE FUEL CAP. THIS IS BEGINNING TO CONCERN ME AS THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD. RECALLS FOR THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO WERE RESEARCHED AND OUR PARTICULAR VIN# IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL LIST. NO REPAIRS WERE ATTEMPTED. DATE LISTED BELOW IS THE LAST TIME THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. *TR

GASOLINE GUSHES OUT OF GAS TANK UPON REFUELING. DODGE DURANGO 2005. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS REFUELED. GAS COVERS THE REAR QUARTER PANEL AND UNDER SURFACES OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE GAS STATION GROUND AND EQUIPMENT (AND ANYONE STANDING NEAR THE REFUELING AREA).

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, AIR BAGS
AIRBAG SENSOR AND REAR LIFTGATE. AIRBAG SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. ONCE BY ME AT MY COST THROUGH THE DEALER AND ONCE BY THEM AS IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS ON AGAIN AND I REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE FIX AGAIN AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A TREND. LIFTGATE JUST STOPPED UNLOCKING/OPENING. NON-POWERED LIFTGATE. ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE LIFTGATE IS BY UNLOCKING IT WITH THE KEY FOB AND OR THE ELECTRIC UNLOCK PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THIS LIFTGATE MANUALLY. NO KEYHOLE OR "ESCAPE "LATCH" INSIDE THE LIFTGATE DOOR. I AM GETTING THIS FIXED AS THE DEALER SAID SOMETHING WAS "JAMMED" IN THE MECHANICAL DEVICE. I ASKED IF I JAMMED SOMETHING AND THEY SAID NOPE IT WAS A MECHANICAL ISSUE. $369.99 FOR THE NEW ELECTRONIC LOCK AND MECHANISM. I HAVE READ IN OTHER FORUMS THAT THE 2005 DURANGO'S AND CARAVANS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND THAT THE FIX WAS APPROXIMATELY 350 DOLLARS. *TR
