2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN I FILL OF THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS AFTER SHUT OFF. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 TIMES. ON JANUARY 26, 2009 DODGE FILED A NOTICE OF DEFECT ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THE COMPANY AND THE DEALERS SAY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

FUEL SPILLAGE REGULAR OCCURRENCE. THE TANK SAYS I AM ON NEARLY ON EMPTY, I GO TO THE STATION AND "FILL UP" THE PROBLEM COMES IN WHEN I GET CLOSE TO THE END. VENT SEEMS TO PREVENT FUEL TANK TO BE FILLED AND IT SPILLS ALL OVER SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS A RUSHING NOISE PUMP NOZZLE CLICKS AND GAS GOES EVERYWHERE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA THIS WOULD HAPPEN. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ONLINE I AM NOT ALONE. HTTP://WWW.FIXYA.COM/CARS/T592484-FUEL_OVERFLOW_RECALL_2005_DURANGO#SAMEPROBLEMCONTINUED I AM TOLD THAT IT PROBABLY NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK BY THE DEALER, I TYPE IN MY VIN AND IT SAYS IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I AM THINKING THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE CHECK VALVE NOT TO CLOSE ALSO CAUSES IT TO CLOSE OR STICK CLOSED AS WELL. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE FUEL THAT SPLASHES BACK WILL GET IN MY EYE OR CAUSE OTHER ISSUES LIKE A FIRE. I FIRST THOUGHT IT MAY BE A PUMP ISSUE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT NEARLY EVERY STATION I HAVE WENT TO. I AM ALSO CURIOUS HOW A 26 GALLON TANK CAN NEVER TAKE MORE THAN 20 GALLONS, I REALIZE THAT THERE IS A RESERVE BUT 6 GALLONS? PLEASE HELP ME AND THE OTHERS LISTED ON THE LINK I INCLUDED. WE CAN'T ALL BE CRAZY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SPIT-BACK DURING REFUELING: WHEN FILLING UP VEHICLE, GAS BACKFLOWS OUT OF GAS TANK AT THE END OF FUELING. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THERE IS A RECALL ON DURANGO OF SAME YEAR AND VINTAGE, BUT MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR DESIGN FLAW. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH. PROBLEM 1: WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND FUEL COMES SHOOTING OUT THE TOP OF THE TANK. PROBLEM 2: WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERS ON AND OFF. I CHECKED THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ISSUED FOR BOTH OF THESE ISSUES THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THAT I HAVE TO CALL CHRYSLER. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER IS UNWILLING TO WORK FOR ANY DISCOUNTS AND THAT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY SERVICES. IN BOTH RECALL NOTICES IT STATES THAT THESE ISSUES ARE BOTH FIRE HAZARDS AND I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $1700 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO RESOLVE THEM, AS THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH 2005 DODGE DURANGOS. PLEASE HELP! *TR

WHEN FILLING UP VEHICLE, GAS BACKFLOWS OUT OF GAS TANK AT THE END OF FUELING. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THERE IS A RECALL ON TRUCK MODEL BUT MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO RELEASES FUEL BACK OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER WHEN EVER I FILL UP I DO NOT TOP OFF DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR SOME OF THEIR DURANGOS OF THIS YEAR AND MAKE BUT THEY SAY MINE IS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH THE FUMES AND LIQUID COMING OUT OF MY FILLER NECK. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE THEY STATED I SHOULD SEE MY DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM .IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM GOES FURTHER THEN THEY ARE ADMITTING AND I WANT THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM

THERE WAS NO LEAD UP, THE GAS TANK JUST STARTED OVERFLOWING AND IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE GAS PUMP WHEN FUELING THE TANK. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME THAT WE FILL UP USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF FEATURE ON A GAS PUMP. THE RESULT IS SEVERAL OUNCES (JUST A GUESS, BUT IT IS A LOT) OF GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK, ONTO THE GROUND AND EVEN SPLASHING ONTO AN UNSUSPECTING TRUCK OWNER. WE TOOK THE TRUCK INTO OUR DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN VINS OF THIS VEHICLE TYPE, BUT OURS IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR AS THE RECALL VEHICLES. THE ESTIMATE FOR A NEW FUEL TANK IS AROUND $800 AND OF COURSE THE WARRANTY WENT VOID A FEW THOUSAND MILES PRIOR TO THE MALFUNCTION WE ARE EXPERIENCING. IF DODGE KNOWS THERE ARE PROBLEMS ON SOME OF THE TRUCKS IN THE SAME YEAR THAT OURS WAS MANUFACTURED AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT, HOW CAN THEY NOT BE LIABLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM?? DODGE IS NOT WILLING TO FIX AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT, BUT REFUSE TO FIX IN REGARDS TO ALL OF THE TRUCKS AFFECTED. IT SEEMS AS IF NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE FUEL TANK DESIGN THAT THEY ADMIT WAS WRONG IN VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, JUST A FEW MONTHS OLDER. HOW IS THAT ETHICAL? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL WIRES. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SEVERAL SPARK PLUGS, AND COIL WIRES. AS OF JANUARY 30, 2009, ALL OF THE REMEDIES HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT IN CORRECTING THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY, AFTER FILLING UP OUR DURANGO, IT SPRAYED FUEL ALL OVER MY WIFE. IT SEEMS EVERY TIME WE FILL UP OUR TRUCK, FUEL SPRAYS ALL OVER. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON HE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT A RECALL WAS ISSUED: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY FILLER PIPE AND CAP), BUT MY DURANGO VIN WAS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I FILL UP MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS, THAT WHEN IT IS FULL AND THE PUMP STOPS, GAS COMES GUSHING OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE ASKED DODGE IF THERE IS A RECALL BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I HEARD AND THEY TOLD ME NO. I DID FIND THE RECALL INFO ON THIS WEB SITE AND I WANT TO KNOW IF MY VIN IS COVERED. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND I WANT THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON... *TR
