FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER NECK EVERY TIME I TRY TO FUEL UP NO MATTER WHAT STATION OR HOW SLOWLY I TRY TO FILL. I GET GASOLINE ALL OVER MY VEHICLE, MYSELF, AND THE GROUND. DODGE DEALER TOLD ME IT NEEDS A FUEL TANK REPLACED AT $750. I FIND A RECALL ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR 2005 DURANGOS, BUT THEY TELL ME IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MINE. SAME PROBLEM, SAME VEHICLE - ARE THEY YANKING MY CHAIN? *TR

CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED 2005 DURANGO'S MADE DURING A CERTAIN TIME FOR FUEL COMPONENT FAILURES. (RECALL ID # 09V003000) EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER STATES THAT MY PROBLEM IS A RESULT OF COMPONENT FAILURE AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN ANY WAY IN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER WILL NOT ASSIST ME EXCEPT TO OFFER ME A 20% DISCOUNT ON PARTS AND LABOR. MY SON-IN-LAW'S 2005 DODGE TRUCK ALSO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS WELL AS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN PURCHASED BY A FRIEND OF MINE. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS WAY MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO ADMIT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I AUTO FILL MY GAS TANK, WHEN THE AUTO SHUT OFF KICKS IN, GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE TANK, RUNS DOWN THE CAR AND PUDDLES ON THE GROUND. I HAVE TAKEN A VIDEO OF THIS AND WILL BE POSTING IT TO YOUTUBE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY OF THE VIDEO, PLEASE CONTACT ME. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ROUGHLY 2 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I JUST PURCHASED AN 05' DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 5.7 HEMI MOTOR. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE 1 MONTH AND IT HAS JUST STARTED STALLING ON ME. VERY SCARY SITUATION. IT HAS HAPPENED AT THE EXACT SAME SPOT BOTH TIMES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND A COUPLE OF FORUMS WHERE THIS APPARENTLY A MAJOR ISSUE. I COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT , START TO ACCELERATE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND LOSE ALL POWER. IT HAS DONE THIS 2X IN 1 MONTH. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM HAS EVER BEEN DIAGNOSED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE GAS WILL SPILL OUT OF THE HOLE WHEN IT IS ABOUT FULL. THIS WILL OCCUR EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO FILL UP THE TANK UNLESS YOU STAND BESIDE THE TANK AND LISTEN TO WHEN YOU THINK IT IS ABOUT FULL. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED, WE HAVE HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED. DAIMLERCHRYSLER PUT A RECALL ON 26,000 VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINT. IT IS COMPLAINT # E01, BUT WHEN I CALLED THEM, THEY ARE STATING THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED, IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED THE DEALER SOLD TO ME & INSTALLED A STARTING SYSTEM AND A NAVIGATION SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR JUST DOESN'T START. IT TURNS OVER BUT NO START. THE DEALER FIXED IT MANY TIMES AND NOW IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO MY MECHANIC IS TRYING TO FIX IT AND STATES THAT THE DEALER TOLD HIM THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER PLACED THOSE IN THE SAME CAR TOGETHER. HE ALSO SAID LINCOLN TOWNCARS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS, GASOLINE SPURTS OUT THE TANK WHEN IT IS FULL. THERE IS A RECALL, BUT THE DEALER SAYS OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. HOW IS OUR CAR NOT COVERED ALSO? IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR, SINCE THE CAR HAD ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. FROM THE RECALL, IT IS THE "FUEL TANK FILLER INLET CHECK VALVE". *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO LAST WEEK. EACH TIME I'VE TRIED TO PUT GAS INTO IT, IT SPITS IT RIGHT BACK UP. IN ORDER TO PUT $20 WORTH OF GAS IN, I HAVE TO PUMP AND LET GO ABOUT 20 TIMES (ABOUT EVERY DOLLAR INTEVAL) AND EVEN THEN, SOME GAS SQUIRTS OUT OR ATLEAST GURGLES AROUND THE OPENING WHEN I PULL THE NOZZLE OUT. I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ONLINE AND HAD A NEW GAS TANK PUT IN TODAY, FREE OF CHARGE OF COURSE. THE PROBLEM IS AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND TRIED TO PUT GAS IN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED - MAYBE EVEN WORSE. THE PUMP NOW CUTS ME OFF EVERY 2-3 SECONDS. IT TAKES FOREVER!!!! I WENT BACK AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS JUST FOR THE TANK AND IT'S "PROBABLY" A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL FILLER TUBE???? HE QUOTED ME 264 + TAX JUST FOR THE PARTS OF SOMETHING THAT IS "PROBABLY" THE CAUSE. SHOULD THE FILLER TUBE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL? I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. OH YEAH, MOST PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAINT SAY THAT THE FUEL SPITS BACK WHEN THEIR TANK IS FULL. WELL IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GAS MY DURANGO HAS IN IT. EVEN IF I HAVE LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THIS IS DAMAGING THE PAINT SINCE THE GAS IS CONSTANTLY RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM AT NIGHT. THERE WAS A POP AND SOMETHING FLEW OFF FROM MY WIPERS THEN BOTH WIPERS GOT TANGLED UP. I COULDN'T SEE AS IT WAS A BACK ROAD. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND REMOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER FOR INSIDE OF THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER. I COULDN'T USE THE WIPERS AT ALL. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER ARM DOWN ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO USE THE DRIVERS WIPER. HAD I BEEN IN TRAFFIC IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. I CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD MY DURANGO DID NOT FALL INTO THE NHTSA'S CAMPAIGN # 06V067000 EVEN THOUGH THIS ARM BREAKAGE IS WHAT THE NHTSA'S CAMPAIGNING IS SUPPOSED TO COVER. THE VEHICLE HAS 65700 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE WIPER WOULD FAIL SUCH AS RUBBING OR SQUEAKING. IT JUST FAILED. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES I BELIEVE MINE IS ONE OF THEM. I HAVE HAD TWO OTHER SAFETY ITEMS ALREADY FIXED ON THIS CAR SO I WANTED TO INSURE THAT OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES KNOW THAT THEIR WIPERS CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT WAS MANUFACTURED 03/2005. I HAVE A FUEL TANK THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING JUST LIKE WHAT WAS REFERENCED IN YOUR CASE #: 09V003000. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE NATIONAL DODGE WEBSITE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT EFFECT MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE RECALL IS FOR THE EXACT SAME THING. THEY ARE WANTING 400 TO REPLACE THIS TANK. I FEEL THAT IT IS A HUGE HAZARD. EVERYTIME I GET GAS IT SPITS BACK AT ME AND ALL OVER THE GROUND SOME TIMES A VERY LARGE AMOUNT. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING RECALLS BY THE NHTSA: 05V034000 AND 09V003000. I CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY VIN, TO CONTACT DODGE CORPORATION. DODGE CORPORATION VERIFIED THAT MY DURANGO WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, YET IT HAS THE 'SPIT BACK' PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT WITH A 5.7 HEMI. PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE STALLING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT/STOP SIGN, PULLING INTO/OUT OF DRIVEWAY/PARKING SPOTS AND MOST RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE STALLING HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15-20 TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE. ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING WAS NOT 100%. I HAVE HAD IT INTO A DODGE DEALER BEFORE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND OF COURSE THEY'VE FOUND NOTHING SO NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY SINCE I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. *TR
