2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

GAS OVERFLOWS ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHEN FILLING UP. HAPPENS EVERY TIME. HAVE GONE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE ONLINE AND BOTH HAVE SAID MY VIN# DOESN'T FALL UNDER THEIR PREVIOUS RECALL. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK USING THE AUTO FILL AT THE GAS STATION, WHENEVER THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF GAS SHOOTS OUT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I WENT ONLINE AND LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL WAS EVEN ISSUED. ARMED WITH THIS INFORMATION I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED MAR 05. I WILL ALSO BE CALLING CHRYSLER AND COMPLAINING TO THEM. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO SINCE MULTIPLE YEARS AND EVEN 05 CARS ON COVERED IN THE RECALL ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 05 DURANGO WITH THE 5.7 HEMI V8 HAD NO PROBLEMS THEN A FEW MONTHS WENT BY AN STARTED TO NOTICE THE STALLING PROBLEM TOOK IT TO SHOPS NO PROBLEMS SO I WENT ONLINE TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE AND I FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WELL TODAY DREW THE STRAW WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE 75MPH AN THE [XXX] THING SHUT OFF NO POWER NO STEERING NO NOTHING HAD MY KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT AS WELL... WHEN IS THIS COMPANY GOING TO REALIZE THEY HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM SOMEWHERE THAT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF IT SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOTICE AND HAS NO POWER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AN GET OUT OF HARMS WAY... AND OF COURSE IT CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP BUT THEN SHUTS OFF AGAIN HAPPENS SOMETIMES THEN WEEKS MONTHS CAN GO BY AND IT JUST DOES IT AGAIN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH OUR 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN IT. MADE A LEFT TURN, TRAVELING AT APPROX. 5-10 MILES PER HOUR WHEN VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. NO STEERING...NO POWER BRAKING...NOTHING. TRUCK WAS ABLE TO RESTART IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE EVENT. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINTS. I'M NOT SURPRISED. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NOT PUT OUR CHILDREN IN IT. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 66,000. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN AN INTERSECTION OR MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE? *TR

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN FULL, THEN GAS IS EXPELLED FROM THE TANK. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN DEC 04 AND THE RECALL COVERED CARS MANUFACTURED THROUGH NOV 04. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE OR APPEAL AVAILABLE TO GET THIS RECALL EXTENDED. CLEARLY DODGE DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS SOON AS THEY THINK THEY DID, JUDGING BY THE HUNDREDS OF US WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHENEVER I AM STOPPED OR IDLING, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. THE RPM GAUGE WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN AND THE ENGINE WILL REV BY ITSELF, WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL FLICKER, THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL IS OFF BUT THE RUNNING/OUTSIDE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. THE STEERING TIGHTENS UP,BUT THE BRAKES WORK. THE CAR IS ABLE TO BE PUT IN PARK, SHUT OFF AND STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, SO FAR. IT NORMALLY ONLY HAPPENS WHEN GOING AT SLOWER SPEEDS, OR STOPPING AND BEING IDLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS, NORMALLY ONCE A WEEK, BUT THIS PAST WEEKEND IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. WE NOW DON'T LEAVE TOWN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE IT JUST AROUND TOWN. I HAVE KIDS AND DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN WHILE IM DRIVING AT ACCELERATED SPEED. ACCORDING TO ALL OF THE 100'S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND, NO ONE IS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG, DEALERSHIPS CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM OR CODES. WHICH HAS BEEN MY ISSUE. PLUS, DODGE DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP. I WAS TOLD I SHOULDN'T LOOK ON THE INTERNET FOR COMPLAINTS. *TR

FUEL LEAKAGE OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS HAPPENS FAIRLY OFTEN WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. NOTE THAT RECALL CAMPAIGNS 09V003000 AND 05V034000 DESCRIBE THIS ISSUE EXACTLY BUT CHRYSLER SAYS THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK. CURRENT RECALLS FROM CHRYSLER ARE CHRYSLER RECALL E01 AND H45. NHTSA RECALL 09V003000. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LOCAL DEALER, LINDER DODGE, NEW LONDON CT. FUEL TANK PROBLEM DETERMINED TO BE SAME AS RECALL. AS OF 04/19/10, CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY $260 FOR REPLACEMENT OF FUEL TANK. 2005 DODGE DURANGO SUV. I KNOW OF SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS SIMILAR SITUATION ON AN 2005 DURANGO, MANUFACTURED 12/04. MY DURANGO WAS MANUFACTURED 03/05. THE FUEL SPILL PROBLEMS HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER PAST 5 MONTHS. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A CHRYSLER DEFECT, WHEN OTHERS DON'T HAVE TO PAY? I HAVE HAD FUEL SPILL ON ME.HAD TO STOP WHAT I WAS DOING, GO HOME, AND CHANGE CLOTHES, ALONG WITH DEAL WITH DEAL WITH ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE OF VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND MY BUILD DATE IS OUT OF RECALL DATE OF MANUFACTURE, THAT I HAVE HARD COPIES FOR. BUT IT SEEMS THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED, BECAUSE THE DEFECT IS OCCURRING IN A LARGER NUMBER OF VEHICLES. *TR
