2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURE EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN BEING FILLED- DOESN'T AUTO STOP THE PUMP LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE CAR'S GAS TANK IS FILLED UNLESS THE AMOUNT OF GAS NEEDED IS ESTIMATED LOWER AND THE PUMP IS STOPPED MANUALLY.

TAKATA RECALL I ALMOST GOT INTO A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT YESTERDAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR ( MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT). ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS THE AIRBAG GOING OFF AND KILLING MY CHILD DUE TO METAL FRAGMENTS DEPLOYING FROM THE AIRBAG. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THESE KIND OF THINGS. WE HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT IN THE ROAD WITH CRAZY DRIVERS AS IT IS. IT SEEMS LIKE THE PARTS ARE NEVER GOING TO COME IN TO FIX OUR AIR BAGS. I WANT A CAR I CAN DRIVE SAFELY WITH MY FAMILY UNTIL MY AIRBAG GETS FIXED. I THINK IT IS TAKATAS DUTY TO EVERYONE TO MAKE THEM FEEL SAFE.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 4WD ENGAGING ON ITS OWN WHILE VEHICLE SITTING AFTER SHUTOFF AS WELL AS HAS SHIFTED AUTOMATICALLY FROM AWD INTO 4WD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55+MPH...TOTALLY UNSAFE. HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE GOING ON FROM OTHER DODGE OWNERS FOR '04 AND '05 DODGE CARAVANS FOR SAME ISSUE. APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO FAULTY CHINESE MANUFACTURED PART DODGE WAS INSTALLING AND FAULTING OUT CONNECTIONS CAUSING POWER LOAD TO NOT BE SAME POWER LOAD AS ORIGINAL SPEC (EASILY CORRODED WIRING) AND THEN SCREWING UP THE CONNECTION AND FAULTING THE UNIT OUT TO START TO SHIFT ON ITS OWN. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF OCCURRING ON MANY DIFFERENT PERSONAL OVER THE PAST 5 YRS HISTORIES SEEN FOR SAME VEHICLE MODELS. WHEN VEHICLE IS SHUTOFF CAN ALSO HEAR THE 4WD SELECTOR CLICKING / ENGAGING BACK AND FORTH THE 4WD SYSTEM IN / OUT FROM AWD TO 4WD. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STUCK IN 4WD LO NOW.

WHEN YOU FILL THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THIS IS RESULTING IN GASOLINE SPRAYING OUT OF THE OPENING. THIS SPRAYS GAS ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY FUEL LEAKAGE WHILE FILLING GAS WITH GAS EXPELLING OUT OF FUEL TANK INLET VALVE EVERY TIME I FILL GAS!!! I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN MAY 9, 2016 TO REPLACE THE DRIVER AIRBAG RECALL AND THIS DEALER SAID THAT THEY INSPECTED THE FUEL TANK NHTSA #05V-034 AND NEVER MENTIONED THAT THEY DID THIS UPON MY VISIT FOR THE AIRBAG. THEN I PRINTED OUT THE REPORT ON RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2016 AND FREMONT DODGE DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTED THAT IT WAS COMPLETED AND INSPECTED ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2016, WHICH I NEVER VISITED THE DEALRSHIP ON THAT DAY. I PRINTED OUT MY CARFAX HISTORY WITH NO ACTUAL PROVE THAT IT HAS EVER BEEN FIXED.. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED IN LATTER PART OF 2014 AND BEEN HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL LEAKAGE WHEN FILLING GAS. PLEASE ADVISE ME OF WHAT TO DO NEXT. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V313000 (AIR BAG) AND 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AND PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE CONVERTED INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LOCK AND BECAME UNSTABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,000.

THE VEHICLE STARTS FINE AND TYPICALLY RUNS FINE, BUT STALLS OUT RANDOMLY. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, AND HAPPENS ABOUT 3 TIMES A WEEK NOW. SOMETIMES IT STALLS ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS WHEN DECELERATING TO TURN A CORNER, WHICH IS REALLY FRUSTRATING AS YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND HAS CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD OR HIT CURBS IF I CAN'T MUSCLE THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE TURN. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS YET, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES. THE DODGE DEALER SAYS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES, BUT ONLINE FORUMS SHOW HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, AFTER TIRES HAVE BEEN AIRED AND CHECKED BY TIRE PLACE.
