FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE TANK. SOMETIMES THE PUMP WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, OTHER TIMES IT REQUIRES MANUAL ASSISTANCE. ACCORDING TO WWW.MOTORTREND.COM, THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM - ONE IN 2005 AND THE OTHER IN 2009. WHEN CALLING DODGE, THEY STATE THAT THOSE RECALLS MAY HAVE BEEN "VIN SPECIFIC" AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS IN THE SYSTEM FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS HAS STARTED OVERFLOWING/SPRAYING OUT WHEN FILLING UP. PUMP STOPS AND SECONDS LATER IT HAPPENS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT SPRAYED SOME FUEL ON ONE OF MY BOYS WHO WAS STANDING BY ME. THANKFULLY, IT DIDN'T GET IN HIS EYE. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP BUT SINCE REALIZED ITS THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE AND I HAVE SEEN THE TWO RECALLS ON THIS DUE TO THE TANKS INLET CHECK VALVES NOT SHUTTING PROPERLY. THE RECALLS COVER VEHICLES MADE THROUGH NOV. 04. MY DURANGO WAS MADE DEC 04 SO DODGE WON'T TOUCH IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN REFUELING. WHILE REFUELING, THE TANK WILL FILL, THE GAS PUMP HANDLE WILL 'CLICK' OFF, THEN A SECOND LATER FUEL SPRAYS OUT ONTO THE GAS PUMP, VEHICLE, GROUND AND ANYONE STANDING NEARBY. THE PROBLEM MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL FILL-UPS IN A ROW, OR MAY SKIP A FILL-UP, AND DO IT AGAIN THE NEXT TIME. FUELING SLOWLY, VERY SLOWLY, DOES NOT STOP THE FUEL SPRAY SPILLAGE. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY FUEL STATION IN AT LEAST 6 STATES NOW. *TR

WHEN FUELING, APPROX. 1 TO 2 QUARTS OF GAS BURPS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF HOW FAST OR SLOW THE FUEL IS DISPENSED. SEEMS TO NOT BE VENTING PROPERLY. I SEE DAIMLERCHRYSLER RECALL # E01 AND H45 HAVE BEEN ISSUED, HOWEVER MY MANUFACTURE DATES DO NOT FALL WITHIN RANGE. CAN MY VIN INFO BE CHECKED AND/OR ARE THERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER WITHOUT COST? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAD MY 2005 DURANGO INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP DUE TO FUEL SHOOTING OUT OF MY GAS TANK WHEN I FILLED IT UP WITH GAS. I WAS TOLD AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT IT WAS A FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE AND THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS QUOTED $1200 TO HAVE THE TANK REPLACED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TANK REPLACEMENT. AFTER MUCH ONLINE RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE ON DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLES FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MY '05 DURANGO VIN DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE 2005 AND 2009 RECALL, BUT THAT OTHER VEHICLES WERE LATER ADDED TO THE 2009 RECALL. THIS IS MY MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND FEEL THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THEREFORE, THEY SHOULD BE THE ONES TO FIX IT AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PROMPT AND IMMEDIATELY ATTENTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

CHRYSLER RECALL H45 - FUEL TANK FILLER INLET CHECK VALVE (GAS SPITS BACK AT YOU AND DOESN'T STOP FLOW FROM THE PUMP WHEN FULL). WE RESEARCHED THE SYMPTOMS AND FOUND SOME INFORMATION AT THE TIME. WE APPROACHED A LOCAL MENDON, MA DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WERE TOLD "THERE IS NO RECALL AND YOUR CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY". NOW WE FOUND A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE AND FOUND OUR VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE RECALL TIME FRAME (9/04 VS. RECALL DATES FOR 2005 MODEL THROUGH NOVEMBER 2004). TANK HAS HAD THESE ISSUES FOR SOME TIME NOW, 3/2010 IS A "BEST RECOLLECTION" AS TO WHEN WE FIRST NOTICED. *TR

WHENEVER I FEEL GAS TANK UP IT SHOOTS OUT EVERYWHERE. ALSO SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND EVERY TIME WE TRY TO HAVE IT WORKED ON IT NEVER GETS FIXED AND I DEALERSHIP CANT FIND ANYTHING ON THE COMPUTER WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP. WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT ALMOST EVERY TIME YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS TO GET IT TO START. *TR

THE CAR'S FUEL TANK FAILS TO SHUT-OFF, I.E. IT DOESN'T APPROPRIATELY RESPOND TO THE SHUT-OFF MECHANISM. GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM THE TANK, SOMETIMES IN A SPILLS OUT SOMETIMES IT FLOWS OUT! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF I MANUALLY FILL THE TANK, ONCE FULL IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME I'M REFUELING AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT, RUNNING DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, ON MY HAND ON MY CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND! IT'S NOT JUST DANGEROUS WITH SIMPLE STATIC ELECTRICITY, IT'S A FIRE WAITING TO HAPPEN! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED, 5.7L HEMI V8 STALLS WHILE BACKING UP. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT BACK UP IMMEDIATELY. THE SECOND TIME ON 11/28/11, IT TOOK 3 TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE IN REVERSE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEMIS AND THERE IS A TSB #0802404 TO "REFLASH" THE ENGINE AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. THE FORUMS STATE THAT THIS IS A FIX FOR SOME VEHICLES, BUT NOT ALL. I AM SCARED TO BE IN THIS CAR WITH MY KIDS NOW-WHAT IF WE STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND GET INTO A WRECK? PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE! OUR SAFETY IS MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN, AND SHOULD BE YOURS AS WELL, DODGE! *KB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON NOV 11, I USED MY 2005 DURANGO LTD, 5.7 HEMI FOR ERRANDS. IT IS VERY LIGHTLY USED. I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ON NOV 17 I WENT TO LOAD IT FOR A TRIP. I FOUND IT FILLED WITH AN ACRID SMOKE. I AIR'D IT OUT AND BEGAN LOOKING FOR THE CAUSE OF THE SMELL AND SMOKE. THE NEXT MORNING WE FOUND THAT THE MAIN WIRING BLOCK LOCATED IN THE DRIVERS SIDE KICK PANEL HAD MELTED DOWN, VERY MANY WIRES HAD MELTED AND THE COVER HAD MELTED TO THE PANEL AND CARPET. I CALLED DODGE THAT DAY, THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE THE CASE MGR CALL ME BY THE NEXT EVENING. BUT OF COURSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY BUSINESS DAYS SO MONDAY EVENING THEY CALLED ME TO VERIFY MY ADDRESS? I ASKED IF THIS WAS THE CASE MGR AND SHE SAID YES AND WAS CALLING TO VERIFY MY ADDRESS. OF COURSE I TOLD HER WE GAVE THE ADDRESS ON FRIDAY AND IT IS THE SAME AS WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND ON ALL OF MY RECORDS. SHE SAID SHE WOULD HAVE AN INSPECTOR CALL ME. HE CALLED ON THE 23RD AND INSPECTED IT ON SATURDAY 11/26/2011. HE TOOK ALOT OF PICTURES AND SAID WOULD FILE THE REPORT THE NEXT WEEK BUT HAD NO CONTROL WHEN DODGE WOULD CALL ME BACK OR IF DODGE WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH LOW MILES AND A DOCUMENTED SERVICE HISTORY. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT WAS HELD AT THE FIRST DEALER I BROUGHT IT TO DUE TO THE CHECK VALVE RECALL. IT IS IN THE GAS TANK AND WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING GAS TO FLY BACK OUT WHEN FILLING THE TANK. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT AGAIN LATELY FOR ABOUT THE LAST MONTH. THE INSPECTOR SAID THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORMED ON THE DASH PANEL WHICH HAD CAUSED FIRES. I TOLD HIM I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF EVER GETTING THAT WORK DONE, UNLESS IT WAS BEFORE I BOUGHT IT OR THEY DID NOT TELL ME OF THE REPAIR WHEN IT WAS DONE. HE SAID GOOD I HAD ALL OF THE WINDOWS SHUT OR IT MAY HAVE IGNITED (AND BURNED MY HOUSE DOWN WITH US IN IT). NOW I HAVE A $35000 6 YR OLD, GREAT LOOKING BOAT ANCHOR! *TR
