05 DODGE DURANGO 5.7L V8 ENGINE STALLS DURING DECELERATION AND TURNS WITH ACCELERATION. EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WITH LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKING. DRIVING 60MPH ON FREEWAY 331 ENGINE STALLED ON LANE MERGER CAUSES SEVERAL CARS TO SEVERELY BREAK AND THE DURANGO TO RUN OFF THE ROAD IN A DITCH. THE RESULT WAS TOWING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. AFTER VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP WE DROVE THE VEHICLE 100MILES AT WHICH TIME IT STALLED AGAIN CAUSING ANOTHER NEAR FATAL WRECK WITH MY WIFE AND 3 SMALL CHILDREN PRESENT. THIS ISSUE IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH DDC HOWEVER WE WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY STALLING ISSUES. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I FEEL MY FAMILY WAS PUT IN DANGER OVER AN ISSUE THAT SEEMS VERY COMMON. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE GAS FILLER NECK ONCE THE GAS PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. GAS IS SPRAYED OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE AND ME, IF I'M NOT CAREFUL. DODGE STATES IT'S MY PROBLEM TO FIX. *TR

THE SEATBELT BUCKLES IN THE 2ND ROW SEATS HAVE BROKEN. THE PLASTIC PART ON THE BUCKLES THAT MAKES THE BELT STAY TIGHT FOR A CAR SEAT HAS CRACKED ON ONE AND TOTALLY BROKEN OFF ON THE OTHER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY CHILD IN THE SEAT DUE TO THE BELT NOT TIGHTENING. THE DEALER ASSURED ME THAT THE BELT IS STILL SAFE FOR A CHILD THAT IS NOT IN A CARSEAT, BUT I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED YET DUE TO FUNDS BEING AVAILABLE WE JUST USE THE OTHER SEATS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. THEY SHOULD RECALL VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE SAFETY BELTS THAT HOLD UP TO DAILY USE. *TR

I HAVE THE FUEL SPIT BACK ISSUE ADDRESSED IN CHRYSLER RECALL 05V-034, EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK WAS BUILT IN 3-05, AFTER THE SUPPOSED DATE OF THE MANUFACTURING FIX. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY GAS TANK SPEWS GASOLINE WHEN FILLED. SINCE MY VIN IS AFTER THE DATE OF THEIR EXPANDED RECALL THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, FUEL WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP EVEN WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. AS A RESULT, FUEL SPILLAGE OCCURS. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE A FIRE COULD OCCUR IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE. SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE COMPENSATION BECAUSE THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,300.

MY 2005 DURANGO STALLS WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP OR SLOWING TO TURN. THERE IS NO WARNING, EVERYTHING JUST STOPS. LOSS OF POWERSTEERING MAKES THE SITUATION VERY UNSETTLING AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING AN UNPROTECTED LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND HAVE NOTICE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF STALLS OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. HAVE NOT YET HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT DUE TO THE INABILITY TO CONSISTENTLY RECREATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER.
