2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

FOR NO REASON THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH OR ANYTHING, SHUTS OFF AND NO STEERING. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT, NO WARNING SIGNS. ACTS FINE, BOTH TIMES DURING CITY STREET DRIVING.

A RECALL THAT SUPPOSEDLY HAPPENED BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IS SHOWING THE SYMPTOMS OF WHY IT WAS RECALLED TO BEGIN WITH. THE RECALL #E01, NHTSA #05V-034 WHICH INVOLVES THE FUEL FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE. EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY TO PUT GAS IN MY DURANGO, THE FUEL SPURTS OUT AT ME... EVEN WHEN I GO SUPER SLOW IN FILLING IT UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS NOW. THE AREA AROUND AND UNDER THE GAS CAP IS NOW ALL CORRODED AND RUSTED. I RECENTLY TOOK SOME PICTURES DURING THE FILL TO SHOW ALL THE GAS ON THE GROUND AND ON THE CAR. I TOOK THIS TO DODGE CITY IN BROOKFIELD, WI AND THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGING ME FOR THE WORK (ALMOST $600). IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THESE DURANGOS HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX IT WITHOUT CHARGING THE END USER.

THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTS BY ITS SELF.THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO LOCK ALL ON IT'S OWN, THEN THE SVC 4WD LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSFER SHIFT BACK AND FORTH FROM AWD TO 4 LOCK NOW ITS STUCK IN 4LO THIS HAPPENS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FUEL THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO INSERT THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE INTO THE FUEL FILLER NECK. THE FUEL FILLER NECK WOULD ONLY ALLOW A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FUEL TO ENTER AT A TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL FILLER NECK AND FUEL TANK PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,494.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE TRANSFER CASE PUTS ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHILE DRIVING. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED BY THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM AS YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE MOVING. WHEN IT'S IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE IT MAKES TURNING VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT JUST WON'T TURN. I AM GROUNDING THIS VEHICLE AND WILL HAVE IT TOWED TO DODGE BUT AFTER READING ALL THE POSTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLES IT APPEARS DODGE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT EITHER.

THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO DRIVE LIKE THE BRAKE IS ON THIS HAPPENS EVEN WORSE WHEN TRYING TO TURN.THE SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT IS ON.I GOT ON A FORUM AND WAS BLOWN AWAY BY ALL THE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.SOME SAY ELECTRICAL SOME SAY TRANSFER CASE.THEY WAS 2005 OR ALL IN THIS AREA.THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 69000 MILES ON IT.

NITTO TERRA GRABBLER. PURCHASED 4 TIRES ON 11/12/15. REAR PASSENGER TIRE FAILED / COMPLETELY CAME APART AND INTO TWO PIECES WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD (PCH) THE SAFETY BRAKE CABLE WAS ALSO DAMAGED. I WAS TOWED HOME. THE DEALER AND NITTO HAVE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE. INSTEAD OF KEEPING THE TIRE FOR INSPECTION, THE DEALER THREW THE TIRE AWAY. TIRE WAS GONE THE FOLLOWING DAY. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRE. I WANT ALL THE TIRES REPLACED AS THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE WITH THESE TIRES THAT COULD RESULT IN GREAT BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. NITTO TIRES HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST DUE TO FAILURE.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-90 EASTBOUND AT 70 MPH MY 05 DODGE DURANGO SUDDENLY LOST MOMENTUM AND THE ENGINE RPM WENT UP. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE STILL IN GEAR BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY JUST OFF THE NEXT CLOSEST EXIT. EXAMINATION SHOWED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OKAY, THE REPAIR FACILITY FOUND THE TORQUE CONVERTER HAD BEEN STRIPPED OUT. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN DISPLAYING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SELECTOR SWITCH. ALSO YOU COULD HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ACTIVATING WHILE UNLOCKING THE DOORS ??? RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE MANY SUCH INCIDENCES OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. REPAIR COSTS ME $1403. BUT THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THERE ARE REPORTS OF PEOPLE CHANGING OUT PARTS WITH NO FIX. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND THE DEALER SHOULD RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. REPAIR FACILITY SAID MY TORQUE CONVERTER HAD BEEN TOTALLY STRIPPED OUT AS A RESULT OF WHATEVER CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I AM DISHEARTENED AS I LIKE THIS VEHICLE BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS CHASING A FIX THAT MANY INCLUDING DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE. WHATEVER ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SEE HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T4148_DS482593

PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND IN PARK THE CAR STALLED, RESTARTED IT AND IT STALLED AGAIN, DID THIS 3 TIMES IN LOT. CAR STALLED MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN LOST ALL POWERS BUT RESTARTED AGAIN, NOTHING ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. CAR STALLED ON DECELERATION COMING TO RED LIGHT LOST BRAKES AND STEERING ROLLED TO STOP TO START IT AGAIN, LUCKY DID NOT HIT ANYONE. HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED OUT NUMEROUS TIMES BUT ERROR IS NOT BEING PICKED UP BY THE ELECTRONICS MONITORING ON THE CAR.
