STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOW FROM THE FUEL FILLER PIPE AND CAP AND NOT SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE STATIONARY, WITH THE CAR OFF AT GAS STATIONS. IT HAPPENS VERY CONSISTENTLY, REGARDLESS OF THE FILL RATE OF THE GAS, THE STYLE OF GASOLINE DISPENSER, OR LOCATION OF THE GAS STATION. THE GASOLINE WILL CONTINUE TO SPILL OUT FROM THE FUEL NECK UNTIL SOMEONE MANUALLY INTERVENES AND TURNS OFF THE NOZZLE. THERE HAVE BEEN 2 RECALLS ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE WITH 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S (RECALL ID# 40367, AND 27198) HOWEVER THE RECALL IS LIMITED TO CERTAIN VINS, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE MINE. TO BE CLEAR, EVEN THOUGH MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS, I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN BOTH RECALLS. THE BODY ON THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (DIRECTLY UNDER THE FILLER CAP) HAS BEEN COMPLETELY EATEN AWAY FROM THE EPISODES OF GASOLINE POURING OUT OVER IT.

VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN DRIVING. WILL SOMETIMES AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO 4 LOCK AND SOMETIMES INTO 4 LOW. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE AND SWERVE DUE TO THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGING. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN OFF. THERE ARE COUNTLESS DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. SOME OF THEM RESULTING IN NEAR MISHAPS. MY VEHICLE IS AT 122,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED. *TR

SO I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE 4WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. I WENT ON THE DODGE WEBSITE AND IT SEEMS THAT EVERYONE THAT OWNS THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. SO ITS NOT JUST A RANDOM THING THAT HAPPENED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IT COULD END UP COSTING SOMEONE'S LIFE. RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED IT MADE A LOUD NOISE THEN WENT BACK TO 2WHEEL DRIVE. THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE 4WHEEL HI AND LOW WAS GOING HAYWIRE. THEN LIKE NOTHING IT TURNED OFF.AND THE CAR DROVE GREAT. BUT AS I WENT FURTHER DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT 3 MORE TIME SO I PARKED IT. I.WAITED A COUPLE HOURS WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING NOISES AS IF IT WAS ENGAGING AD DISENGAGING THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO. THIS IS CLEARLY A MALFUNCTIONING DRIVE TRAIN AND EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO OWNED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 4 WHEEL DRIVE HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS A GREAT CAR BUT THIS MALFUNCTION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STATIONARY: WHEN REFUELING, GREAT AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKS OUT WITH HIGH PRESSURE, SOAKED ME IN GASOLINE CAUSING BURNS AND SKIN IRRITATION ON HALF OF MY BODY, ALSO DAMAGED THE FUEL PANEL SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE AN EXISTENT RECALL ON VEHICLES FROM THE SAME YEAR THAT EVIDENTLY HAVE SAME DEFECTS. MY VEHICLE NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL BUT DEFECT WAS FOUND BY 2 DIFFERENT DODGE MECHANICS SO WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. UNFORTUNATELY, IN MY FIRST DRIVE IT ALMOST KILLED ME IN A ZONE WHERE VEHICLES GO AT 70 MPH. IN THE HIGHWAY SOMETHING SUDDENLY SNAPPED LOUDLY, FUEL SPLATTER LEAKING OUT WITH PRESSURE, SMOKE COMING OUT, VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AGGRESSIVELY OUT OF CONTROL, THEN VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE RUNNING, TWICE. THE VEHICLE REMAIN WITH AN ASPHYXIATING FUEL ODOR, FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE WERE AT SCENE, CHRYSLER KEPT ME HOURS IN THE PHONE CONSTANTLY WASHING THEIR HANDS FROM 2PM UNTIL 8PM, CALL AFTER CALL AND NEITHER CHRYSLER OR THE DODGE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED ANY SOLUTION NOR HELP, WE ALMOST DIED TODAY, THIS DEFECT ALMOST KILLED US.

ENGINE STALLING WHILE LOW SPEED DRIVING, WHEN DECELERATION, WHILE MAKING A STOP SIGN OR WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED PERSISTENTLY IN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND SETTINGS. ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE TIMES THE VEHICLE'S SHUTTING OFF OCCURS FREQUENTLY AT LOW SPEED, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER NORMAL SPEED. CHRYSLER COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE LISTED ON SOME VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR 2005 THAT EVIDENTLY SHOWS CERTAIN DEFECTS, THEREFORE, OWNERS ARE IMMEDIATELY DISMISS OR IGNORED AND LEFT WITH A LIFE THREATENING VEHICLE ON THEIR HANDS.

WHEN I GET GAS IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I HAVE A LITTLE GAS OR HALF A TANK MY GAS AS I'M PUMPING ALWAYS COMES OUT AND BACKFIRES AT ME ....IT JUST STARTS SPITTING OUT AT ME FOR NO REASON... EVEN WHEN I'M EMPTY AND I START PUMPING GAS IT HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS OF PUMPING GAS IT JUST DECIDES TO COME BACK AT ME.. SO I'M WASTING GAS ALL THE TIME IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY FOURTH TIME I GET GAS....

THE TRANSFER CASE IS CHANGING FROM ALL WHEEL DRIVE INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE HIGH AND LOW BY ITSELF AT RANDOM. IT FIRST HAPPENED TO MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. SHE WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCHED ON ITS ON. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. DODGE SAYS THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. YOUR VEHECILE'S TRANSFER CASE MOVING ALL BY ITSELF. WHEN THE VEHECILE IS PARKED YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ACTUATING WITH NOTHING ON. CAR PARKED. THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH NO ANSWERS AND DODGE KNOWS NOTHING OR IS PRETENDING TO. THIS IS BIG. DANGEROUS ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL [XXX]. [XXX]. THA CAR IS PARKED UNTIL. THIS IS A DODGE PROBLEM NOT THE CONSUMER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT
