2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE GAS DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF CAUSING AN OVERFLOW EVERY TIME. THIS IS THE EXACT THING THAT IS DESCRIBED IN A RECALL FOR '05 DURANGOS HOWEVER MINE DOES NOT HAVE A QUALIFYING VIN #. MY VEHICLE HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, DUE TO NOT BEING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR THE RECALL THEY SAID IT WAS MY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER STATED ONLY AFTER THAT WAS DONE THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IF FURTHER BUT COULD NOT ASSURE ME THEY WOULD COVER ANY OF THE REPAIR BILL. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS DONE AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE UP FRONT EXPENSE. FOR THE MEANWHILE I DO NOT FILL MY TANK ALL THE WAY. *TR

WHEN PUTTING GAS INTO THE TANK OF MY VEHICLE, IT SPITS GAS BACK OUT. AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE GETTING SURGES IN THE SPEED OF THE ENGINE, SEEMS TO BE MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN SPEEDING UP FROM LOW RPM. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF INSTANCES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT MY DEALER SAYS NO RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS MATTER. THEY ARE REPLACING THE GAS TANK AT NO CHARGE, BUT SAY THAT I MUST PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND A REPLACEMENT SENSOR FOR THE SURGING. THEY CLAIM THAT NEITHER PROBLEM IS A RECALL, NOR COVERED IN MY EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM BEING CHARGED CLOSE TO $300, INCLUDING RENTAL CAR. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO, EVERY TIME I FUEL UP THE TANK TO FULL FUEL SPRAYS BACK AT ME, THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD WHEN FUELING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY PARTICULAR DURANGO WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 32,000 MILES ON IT AND IS USED TO MAINLY TRANSPORT MY TWINS. I KNOW THAT DODGE HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN DURANGOS HOWEVER ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE A LOOK AT MINE AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING THE RECALLED DURANGOS ARE DOING. I FEEL DODGE HAS A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM OR DEFECT WITH THE GAS TANKS ON ALL DURANGOS IN THIS YEAR RANGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL UP MY TANK. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? *TR

FUEL SPITS OUT OF THE GASOLINE FILLER TUBE WHEN REFUELING COMPLETED. HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE TANK IS "TOPPED OFF". SPEED OF REFILL HAS NO EFFECT. FAST OR SLOW, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. HAPPENED THE LAST THREE TIME I REFUELED. DEALER SAYS MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IS NOT COVERED IN PAST RECALLS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH GASOLINE THE GAS OVERFILLS AS THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL WITH GAS AT ANY GAS STATION. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH DODGE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN 2005 DODGE DURANGOS BUT MY 2005 DURANGO IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS HAS NOT CAUSED ANY CRASH, INJURY OR FIRE, BUT I FEEL THAT IT IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK AND THAT IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. I HAVE LOOKED AT MANY ONLINE MESSAGE BOARDS AND IT SEAMS THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF DODGE DURANGOS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING BY DODGE. *TR

GAS SHOOTS OUT OF FILLER NECK FROM GAS TANK AFTER DONE FILLING UP.THIS USE TO HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY THREE FILL UPS BUT NOW ITS ALL THE TIME.THE OTHER DAY IT SHOT OUT AND SOAKED A WOMEN ACROSS FROM ME. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS A RECALL OUT ON THE DURANGO BUT NOT MINE WHICH IS RIDICULOUS.I CALLED DODGE WITH NO SATISFACTION.THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT.I TALKED WITH CONNER AT CHRYSLER-THE COMPLAINT # IS 19381977.I TOOK THE DURANGO TO SPITZER IN AKRON OHIO AND THEY ORDERED ME A FUEL TANK BUT THEY SAID ITS ON BACK ORDER(GO FIGURE). I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRENTYWITH A 50.00 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE BUT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IN MY OPINION SINCE ITS GOT THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE CARS AND TRUCKS IN ITS CLASS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. HE STATED THAT WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, THE GASOLINE WOULD SPEW BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. HE WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL DESCRIBING THE SAME FAILURE HE WAS EXPERIENCING (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 09V003000: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY) AND CONTACTED HIS DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED HIM THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL CAMPAIGN AND THAT REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS 71,300.

FUEL SPURTS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER OPENING WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK. ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF GAS COMES BACK OUT AFTER THE FILLER NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. IT HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY 2 OUT OF 3 TIMES FILLING THE TANK. WHEN THE FUEL COMES OUT OF THE FILLER NECK IT HAS GOTTEN ONTO ME AND MY CLOTHES AND OF COURSE IT ENDS UP ON THE GROUND AT THE FILLING STATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM, THEY CONFIRMED THERE IS EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHEN FILLING THE TANK. THE SOLUTION THEY PROPOSED IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AND FILLER. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS REPAIR COMPLETED YET. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS THE FUEL COMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND AND MYSELF. I LOOKED AT RECALLS FOR CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S BUT AFTER CONTACTING THEM THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN HAVING GASOLINE SPILL OVER MYSELF, VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING AROUND ME. I TALKED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP (PHIL SPADY CHRYSLER DODGE IN COLUMBUS, NE ) AND THEY SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING THAT THEY RECALLED OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S FOR. *TR
