FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH HAS HAD A FUEL ISSUE FROM THE DAY WE GOT IT. ALMOST EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK, GASOLINE CONTINUES TO SPILL OUT OF THE NOZZLE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN WE FILL UP WITH THE OLDER STYLE PUMPS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE PLASTIC SLEEVES ON THEM. MY INVESTIGATION REVEALED A RECALL FOR THE INLET VALVE BUT CHRYSLER/DODGE SAYS MY VIN SERIES IS NOT COVERED. THIS ISSUE OBVIOUSLY ENCOMPASSES MORE VEHICLES THAN THE RECALL INDICATES. CHRYSLER STATED THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THE MATTER BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A 95 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC AND IF IT WAS THE FUEL INLET VALVE.. IT WOULD REQUIRE "CUSTOMER PARTICIPATION" TO FIX. THEY ARE WILLING TO ASSIST BUT TELL ME I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BETWEEN 100 AND 500 DOLLARS OF THE REPAIR COSTS PLUS THE 95 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I WISH TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS VERY CONCERN. DODGE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THE VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. IT MAKES LITTLE SENSE THAT SOME 2005 DURANGO'S ARE RECALLED BUT MY PARTICULAR ONE IS NOT WHEN THE ISSUE IS THE SAME. PLEASE HELP. *TR

MY DODGE DURANGO 2005, SHUTS OFF PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CRAP WITH MY KIDS IN IT. DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND JUST WANTS TO BRUSH EVERYONE OFF. SAYING THEY FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF A PROBLEM, WELL WE ALL CANT BE WRONG. I WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW NOT TO EVER BUY A DODGE. AT LEAST FIX THIS PROBLEM DODGE, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOUR REPUTATION IS REALLY BAD. I AM SURPRISED DODGE DOESN'T HAVE A LAWSUIT YET. THIS PROBLEM WILL KILL SOMEONE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING VEHICLE AFTER THE FUELING NOZZLE IS CUT OFF SEVERAL OUNCES OF FUEL SPILLS/SQUIRTS OUT FROM THE TANK. FAILURE BEGAN OCCURRING AROUND 40K MILES. USING DIFFERENT FUELING SITES STILL HAS SAME RESULT. STOPPING FUELING AS TANK NEARS FULL HAS SAME RESULTS. THIS WILL OCCUR EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FUELED UNLESS FUELING IS STOPPED PRIOR TO TANK BECOMING CLOSE TO CAPACITY. RECALL E01 COMPLETED ON VEHICLE ON 7/15/2005 SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. HOWEVER, VEHICLE TESTED AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE/INDICATED AT THE TIME. THE SYMPTOMS MENTIONED ABOVE ARE THE EXACT SAME AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL. NUMEROUS OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ARE LISTED WITH NHTSA. DEALER INDICATED THEY WOULD PERFORM TEST AGAIN FOR A FEE AND CONSULT MANUFACTURER REGARDING REPAIR COVERAGE. MY FEELING IS THIS IS A RESULT OF THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART INDICATED IN THE RECALL AND IT WAS JUST NOT DETECTED DURING INITIAL RECALL INSPECTION. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. CURRENTLY I ONLY FILL TANK TO ABOUT THREE QUARTERS FULL TO AVOID FUEL SPILLING/SQUIRTING OUT. DANGERS FROM THE FUEL INCLUDE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR FUEL CONTACTING SKIN/FACE/EYES. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO. EACH TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED FUEL CONTINUES TO SPILL BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, AND IS ALSO NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THIS CAUSES AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD, I AM GETTING COVERED IN GASOLINE AS IS MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. NOT TO MENTION THE LOSS OF GAS THE VEHICLE IS RECEIVING AND I AM PAYING FOR. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO - APPROXIMATELY A PINT TO A QUART OF FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM FUEL FILLER TUBE WHEN FILLING UP. THERE WAS AN APPARENT RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER/DODGE STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION TO A DEALER. QUOTED OVER $1100 FOR REPLACING WHOLE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY IN ORDER TO FIX PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULD COVER ALL BUT 369.50 AND THAT THE COMPANY NORMALLY DOES NOT COVER ANY AMOUNT OF REPAIR OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY OR A RECALL. CLEARLY, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS MANY OTHER 2005 DURANGO OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE PURCHASING FROM A FRIEND'S LEASE TURN-IN (APPROX 42K MI). CURRENTLY HAVE APPROX 78K MILES. CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER THIS DEFECT IN FULL IN THAT IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IS NOT A PROBLEM STEMMING FROM WEAR AND TEAR OR ABUSE. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. HAD THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER IN LOCAL AREA DIAGNOSE IT, AND THEY REFLASHED THE PCM AND GAVE IT A TUNE-UP. THERE AREN'T ANY CODES COMING UP DURING DIAGNOSTICS. $400 AND AN HOUR LATER IT WAS STILL STALLING. IT STALLS ON AVERAGE THREE TIMES A DAY WITHOUT WARNING, SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPING OR TURNING. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I DON'T WANT MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, I NEED TO DRIVE TO GET TO WORK. *TR
