2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM AT NIGHT. THERE WAS A POP AND SOMETHING FLEW OFF FROM MY WIPERS THEN BOTH WIPERS GOT TANGLED UP. I COULDN'T SEE AS IT WAS A BACK ROAD. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND REMOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER FOR INSIDE OF THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER. I COULDN'T USE THE WIPERS AT ALL. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER ARM DOWN ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO USE THE DRIVERS WIPER. HAD I BEEN IN TRAFFIC IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. I CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD MY DURANGO DID NOT FALL INTO THE NHTSA'S CAMPAIGN # 06V067000 EVEN THOUGH THIS ARM BREAKAGE IS WHAT THE NHTSA'S CAMPAIGNING IS SUPPOSED TO COVER. THE VEHICLE HAS 65700 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE WIPER WOULD FAIL SUCH AS RUBBING OR SQUEAKING. IT JUST FAILED. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES I BELIEVE MINE IS ONE OF THEM. I HAVE HAD TWO OTHER SAFETY ITEMS ALREADY FIXED ON THIS CAR SO I WANTED TO INSURE THAT OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES KNOW THAT THEIR WIPERS CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT WAS MANUFACTURED 03/2005. I HAVE A FUEL TANK THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING JUST LIKE WHAT WAS REFERENCED IN YOUR CASE #: 09V003000. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE NATIONAL DODGE WEBSITE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT EFFECT MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE RECALL IS FOR THE EXACT SAME THING. THEY ARE WANTING 400 TO REPLACE THIS TANK. I FEEL THAT IT IS A HUGE HAZARD. EVERYTIME I GET GAS IT SPITS BACK AT ME AND ALL OVER THE GROUND SOME TIMES A VERY LARGE AMOUNT. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING RECALLS BY THE NHTSA: 05V034000 AND 09V003000. I CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY VIN, TO CONTACT DODGE CORPORATION. DODGE CORPORATION VERIFIED THAT MY DURANGO WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, YET IT HAS THE 'SPIT BACK' PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IS STALLING WHEN THE SPEED IS REDUCED. I HAVE HAD NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. HELP PLEASE!!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT WITH A 5.7 HEMI. PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE STALLING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT/STOP SIGN, PULLING INTO/OUT OF DRIVEWAY/PARKING SPOTS AND MOST RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE STALLING HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15-20 TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE. ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING WAS NOT 100%. I HAVE HAD IT INTO A DODGE DEALER BEFORE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND OF COURSE THEY'VE FOUND NOTHING SO NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY SINCE I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. *TR
