2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN JULY 2008. EVERYTIME I TRY TO PUT FUEL IN MY VEHICLE IT ENDS UP SPEWING BACK OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER ME, THE VEHICLE AND THE PAVEMENT. MY DEALER LOOKED INTO IT AND SAID IT WAS A VALVE PROBLEM BUT WOULD REQUIRE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE TANK WITH A COST OF AT LEAST $1000. I HAVE SEEN OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S GETTING RECALLS BUT MY VIN DOES NOT COME UP AS GETTING THIS RECALL. THIS IS UNFAIR THAT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER 05 DURANGOS BUT AM NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS POTENTIALLY AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I CAN'T GET ANY ASSISTANCE FROM DODGE ON THIS MATTER. CAN YOU HELP? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM THE TANK WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. THE GAS PUMP WILL CLICK AS IF THE VEHICLE IS FILLED, BUT THEN GASOLINE WILL SPILL OUT. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. 4/01/09 *NJ UPADTED 04/07/09. *JB

MY FUEL TANK OVERFILLS EVERYTIME I FILL IT UP AT THE GAS STATION. THIS IS NO MATTER WHAT STATION OR TYPE OF PUMP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I RECENTLY TOOK TO A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AS I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN PUMPING. FUEL SPILLS EVERYWHERE, ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THE PUMPS. AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS WELL AS FIRE SAFETY, THE DEALER RECOMMENDED I GET THE GAS TANK REPLACED. THEY REPORT NEVER HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH DURANGOS. I WENT HOME AND RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND A RECALL FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGOS AND FOUND A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THE RECALL IS FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM 10/13/2004-11/30/2004. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON 12/1/2004, ONE DAY AFTER THE CUT OFF FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED THE COMPANY AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS A SPARK COULD IGNITE THE FUEL SPILLED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND, AND THEY REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. FUEL WAS OVERFLOWING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AS HE FILLS HIS TANK WITH GAS, FUEL RUSHES TO THE TOP AND SPILLS ONTO THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. *TR

THE GAS FILLER PIPE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SINCE IT WAS NEW. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, BUT THE FUEL WASHES BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS FIXED IN A RECALL PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE IN 2005 ACCORDING TO THEIR "COMPUTER RECORDS". OBVIOUSLY, FROM MY EXPERIENCE IN FILLING THE TANK, THE "RECALL FIX" DID NOT WORK--OR, WORSE, THE DEALER DID NOT DO THE FIX AS THEY CLAIMED. SPILLING GASOLINE IS DANGEROUS--DODGE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THIS REPAIR WORK, EVEN IF IT TAKES ANOTHER RECALL. *TR

MY DODGE 2005 SLT, 4.8L (74,000 MILES) HAS CONTINUED TO STALL AT STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL THINGS DONE(SPARK PLUGS, FUEL ADDITIVES, PREMIUM GAS, FUEL FILTER) TO THE CAR, BUT STILL CONTINUES. I AM UPSET TO SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT THIS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNERS IN THE SAME SITUATION WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I. *TR

GAS OVERFLOW PROBLEM WHEN FILLING UP 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED. IF I TRY TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK, I GET SPLATTERED WITH GASOLINE, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM RELATING TO 2005 DODGE DURANGO, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHUT OFF VALVE IN HER FUEL TANK DID NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. SHE NOTICED THE ISSUE ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. WHEN PLACING FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE AND USING THE AUTOMATIC DEVICE THAT SUPPORTS THE PUMP HANDLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPILL OUT AND SPLASH BACK BECAUSE THE VALVE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 09V003000 AND 05V034000. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CHECK AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,957 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 47,000.
