2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED THE DEALER SOLD TO ME & INSTALLED A STARTING SYSTEM AND A NAVIGATION SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR JUST DOESN'T START. IT TURNS OVER BUT NO START. THE DEALER FIXED IT MANY TIMES AND NOW IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO MY MECHANIC IS TRYING TO FIX IT AND STATES THAT THE DEALER TOLD HIM THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER PLACED THOSE IN THE SAME CAR TOGETHER. HE ALSO SAID LINCOLN TOWNCARS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ADD FUEL TO THE FUEL TANK, HE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL BEGAN FLOWING OUT OF THE GAS TANK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE INLET CHECK VALVE. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 52,000.

EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE FUEL TANK THE GASOLINE WILL SPLASH BACK/SPILL OUT WHEN THE SERVICE PUMP 'CLICKS' OFF. ISSUE STARTED TO OCCUR AT APPROXIMATELY 70000 MILES. VEHICLE IS BUILT AFTER EXISTING RECALLS (CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 09V003000 & 05V034000) -- VEHICLE BUILD DATE 3-4-05'. *TR

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. THE OPPOSING VEHICLE INFORMED THE DRIVER FLAMES WERE ERUPTING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY, THE VEHICLE FULLY ENGULFED INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE. THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE CAUSE OF FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERN OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 60,000. JS

WHEN FILLING UP OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS, GASOLINE SPURTS OUT THE TANK WHEN IT IS FULL. THERE IS A RECALL, BUT THE DEALER SAYS OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. HOW IS OUR CAR NOT COVERED ALSO? IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR, SINCE THE CAR HAD ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. FROM THE RECALL, IT IS THE "FUEL TANK FILLER INLET CHECK VALVE". *TR

WHEN I AM DRIVING AT SLOW MPH OR TURNING, MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS. I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON BUT I WAS ALMOST HIT THE OTHER DAY. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY. *TR

WHENEVER THE CONTACT DRIVES THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS AND BEGINS TO MAKE A TURN THE STEERING COLUMN WILL SUDDENLY LOCK UP. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES BEFOREHAND. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 92000, FAILURE MILEAGE WAS AT 57000. BML

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO LAST WEEK. EACH TIME I'VE TRIED TO PUT GAS INTO IT, IT SPITS IT RIGHT BACK UP. IN ORDER TO PUT $20 WORTH OF GAS IN, I HAVE TO PUMP AND LET GO ABOUT 20 TIMES (ABOUT EVERY DOLLAR INTEVAL) AND EVEN THEN, SOME GAS SQUIRTS OUT OR ATLEAST GURGLES AROUND THE OPENING WHEN I PULL THE NOZZLE OUT. I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ONLINE AND HAD A NEW GAS TANK PUT IN TODAY, FREE OF CHARGE OF COURSE. THE PROBLEM IS AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND TRIED TO PUT GAS IN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED - MAYBE EVEN WORSE. THE PUMP NOW CUTS ME OFF EVERY 2-3 SECONDS. IT TAKES FOREVER!!!! I WENT BACK AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS JUST FOR THE TANK AND IT'S "PROBABLY" A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL FILLER TUBE???? HE QUOTED ME 264 + TAX JUST FOR THE PARTS OF SOMETHING THAT IS "PROBABLY" THE CAUSE. SHOULD THE FILLER TUBE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL? I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. OH YEAH, MOST PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAINT SAY THAT THE FUEL SPITS BACK WHEN THEIR TANK IS FULL. WELL IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GAS MY DURANGO HAS IN IT. EVEN IF I HAVE LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THIS IS DAMAGING THE PAINT SINCE THE GAS IS CONSTANTLY RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
