2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND WHEN I FUEL THE PUMP WONT STOP AND GAS COMES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND. THE DEALER SAYS THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BUT I HAVE FOUND AT LEAST 500 OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FUEL BUT NOT THE CORRECT VIN. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH 5.7 LT. HEMI.. EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL IN THE VEHICLE GAS SPRAYS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER TO HAVE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED. THE DEALERSHIP RAN THE VIN AND ADVISED ME THAT. THE GAS SPILLAGE ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED BUT IT WILL NOT BE COVERED BY DODGE BECAUSE THE VIN DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RECALL RANGE.....I CALLED DODGE AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM ONLY TO RECEIVE NO HELP. *TR

1. THE CAR REQUIRES GAS. 2. WHEN FILLING, GAS SHOOTS OUT OF FILL PIPE WHEN FULL. (1-2 CUPS) 3. PROBLEM SAME AS DESCRIBED IN ACTION #RQ08005 AND RECALL CAMPAIGN# 09V00300 BUT MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO, FUEL SPILL OUT WHEN FILLING TANK, HAPPENS VIRTUALLY EVERYTIME. IT GETS GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYONE NEAR THE GAS PUMP. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS, BUT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

GAS TANK FILLER NECK. A VEHICLE RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR LEAKING GAS WHEN FUELING. DEALER CHECKED AND STATED CAR WAS FINE AND NOT EFFECTED. SINCE I HAVE FILLED VEHICLE (3) TIMES AND (2) OF THOSE TIME GAS HAS COME OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WITH SO MUCH FORCE IT SPLASHED ALL OVER ME AND SURROUNDING EQUIPMENT. INCIDENT HAPPENED BEFORE INSPECTION AS WELL AND DODGE WAS TOLD ABOUT IT AT TIME OF SERVICE BUT THEY STILL STATED NO ISSUE EXISTED. THE TANK IS DEFECTIVE, AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. POSSES A LARGE THREAT OF IGNITION WHEN GAS AND GAS VAPOR SHOOTS ON THE PERSON PUMPING GAS. INSPECTION METHOD IS INADEQUATE AND NOT WORKING. ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT AND DODGE IS NOT FIXING THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH A ISSUE EXISTS. *TR

FUEL FILLER CHECK VALVE DOES NOT WORK. GASOLINE WILL SPRAY OUT OF CAR WHEN TOPPING OFF. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLING WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. JANUARY 2010 DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HAPPENED AGAIN 4/8/2010. DEALER REPLACED EGR VALVE BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND TO COME BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HOPEFULLY IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AND I GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN# [XXX] . IT HAS 71,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, IT BLOWS THE GAS BACK OUT THE FILLER NECK EVERY TIME I CLOSE THE PUMP NOZZLE TO STOP FILLING THE TANK. EVERYTIME I STOP PUMPING GAS IT BLOWS APPROXIMATELY A HALF GALLON OF GAS ALL OVER ME, THE GROUND, GAS PUMP, VEHICLE, AND WHATEVER ELSE IS AROUND. THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CATCH FIRE AND BURN DOWN THE GAS STATION, VEHICLE, AND INNOCENT BY-STANDERS ETC. IT ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET INTO THE WATER THROUGH RUN OFF. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE IN THE FILLER NECK AND THAT THE WHOLE GAS TANK HAD TO BE CHANGED. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME DURANGOS FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM BUT, THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VIN#. I DON'T HAVE THE $650 TO FIX IT. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE RECALL WOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER MY VEHICLE AND ALL THE OTHER I FOUND ON THE INTERNET. THOSE THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NOT COVER UNDER THE RECALL ARE JUST AS DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LETTER FORWARDED FOR POSSIBLE FOLLOW UP REGARDING CONSUMER CASE AGAINST CHRYSLER MOTORS. *TGW TWO RECALLS WERE ISSUED AND THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN EITHER. THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN JULY 2005, WELL AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED IN PRODUCTION. RECALL NUMBERS 09V003000 AND 05V034000. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED DODGE, BUT WAS TOLD HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER FELL OUT OF DEFECT RANGE. *JB

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A PROBLEM WHERE ABOUT 3-6 CUPS OF FUEL COMES SPEWING FROM THE FILLER HOLE WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. THIS "SPEWING" OCCURS JUST AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE "CLICKS" OFF SIGNIFYING THAT THE TANK IS FULL. THE FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND SURROUNDING PEOPLE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFILL THE TRUCK. I FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT OTHER DURANGO'S ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM UNDER NHTSA RECALL 09V003000 AND 05V034000. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. MY DEALER, ORANGE PARK DODGE, DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WHICH IS THE SAME PART RECALLED ON OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN BEFORE IT CAN BE REPLACED. SINCE CHRYSLER IS CHANGING THE PART FOR FREE ON RECALLED VEHICLES, BUT MY 2005 DURANGO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS ALSO INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE TANK WOULD LEAK OUT IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT SINCE THE CHECK VALVE IS NOT CLOSING AS DESIGNED. *TR
