2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHENEVER I FILL MY VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IT SPRAYS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THIS STARTED TO OCCUR IN NOVEMBER AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL IT. IT WAS REPAIRED AT A DODGE DEALER BY REPLACING THE GAS TANK. THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2005 FOR THIS AND AGAIN IN 2009 BUT WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS INCLUDED. *TR UPDATED 03/03/09. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE HAVE FAILED. THE FAILURE BEGAN TWO DAYS AGO, BUT NOW THEY HAVE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. SHE CALLED THE DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT HAVING HER VEHICLE REPAIRED AND WAS INFORMED THAT SHE WAS CUSTOMER NUMBER 681. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE TURN SIGNALS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH FUEL SPLASHING OUT WHEN I FILL THE TANK. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON SIMILAR VEHICLES, YET THE DODGE.COM WEBSITE SAYS MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS SITUATION IS VERY WORRISOME. I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANKS! *TR

DODGE DURANGO 2005, RECENTLY HAS BEGUN TO BLOW GAS OUT OF THE TANK AFTER FILLING. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE EXPLODES FROM THE TANK AND CONSTITUTES A NUISANCE AND A SERIOUS HAZARD DUE TO THE GAS SPILL. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 15 MPH. RECENTLY, I MADE A LEGAL U-TURN AND THE VEHICLE STALLED HALFWAY INTO THE TURN. BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH THE FULL TURN AND I WAS SITTING IN THE ROAD WITH CARS COMING HEAD ON. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND STARTED THE CAR AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND GOT OUT OF IMMEDIATE HARMS WAY. IT IS TRULY A MIRACLE THAT I WAS NOT HIT BY A VEHICLE HEAD ON WHERE CARS WERE COMING AT ME AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IF IT HASN'T HAPPEN ALREADY. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THIS IS MY PROOF OF TRYING TO GET A RECALL FOR A VERY SERIOUS MALFUNCTION. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED WITH GREAT CARE AND QUICKLY. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNERS WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME INCIDENT. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND I AM TRULY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL BUS OR TRUCK, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE FATALITIES. *TR

ON DEC 19 2008 AS I WAS DRIVING HOME DURING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE WIND SHIELD WIPER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND GOT TANGLED UP WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER THAT CONTINUED TO WORK NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY SO LUCKILY I WAS IN A PLACE WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER. I TRIED TO WAIT OUT THE STORM BUT IT WAS GETTING REALLY BAD SO I HAD TO DRIVE AT 20-30 MPH WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT THE BOLT HOLDING THE WIPER ARM WAS STRIPPED BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO GET INSPECTED, TO MY SURPRISE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE LINKAGE FOR THE WIPER SYSTEM. THE LINKAGE JUST BROKE OUT OF NOWHERE. OUR VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING HAPPENING ON NEW OR OLD VEHICLES OF ANY MAKE. THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THE LINKAGE BROKE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE PART WAS MADE. THE AMOUNT IT COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE CAME OUT TO $607.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT REPLACED TODAY. IT ALSO TOOK 7-10 DAYS TO ORDER AND SHIP THE PART TO THE REPAIR SHOP. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME MODEL PART SO THIS PROBLEM MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN WHICH IS NOT COMFORTING AT ALL. I ASKED TO TAKE THE BROKEN PART BACK TO SHOW PROOF OR A DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA THAT BROKE. SO IF NEEDED I CAN SEND THAT IN. *TR

THE FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE NOT FULLY CLOSE AND ALLOWS FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER NECK. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT WHEN I CALL THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED FOR THIS RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V034000. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER EVERYTIME I FILL MY TANK. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, THE PUMP WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHEN FULL AND THEN GAS SQUIRTS/SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILL TUBE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE OCTOBER 2008, I CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE AND IT STATED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH I DID FIND A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE UNDER THIS RECALL VINS ENDING 5F500001 TO 5F535219, MY VIN IS 5F503046 WHICH CLEARLY FALLS IN THAT RANGE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND FINDING SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I FELT AS THOUGH I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT. I AM GOING TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY ARE WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

THE CAR STALLED WHEN DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WHEN VERY BRIGHT, AND THEN THE CAR STALLED. I HAD TO RE-START IT. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE HIT MY CAR, I WASN'T IN AN INTERSECTION OR ON THE FREEWAY (I COMMUTE EVERY DAY ON IT WITH MY CHILD). WE WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO-MECHANIC. HE SAID THE ETS VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED IT FOR $344.16 HOWEVER, THOUGH HE KEPT IT AND DROVE IT, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO HIM AND HE SAID IT WOULD BE HARD TO BE 100% SURE IT THAT WAS REALLY THE ISSUE. IT WAS HIS BEST ANSWER. HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY A CAR THAT ONLY HAS 39K MILES ON IT AND IS 4 YEARS OLD WOULD DO THIS. *TR
