WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE OR OPEN UNLOCKED DOORS, THE SHIFT MOTOR ACTIVATES, I CAN HEAR IT ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING. THERE IS A DELAY UPON STARTING MY TRUCK BEFORE THE DRIVE GEAR KICK IN AND I CAN PROCEED TO DRIVE VEHICLE. WHEN I MAKE A SHARP TURN GOING FORWARD OR BACKING...THE REAR TIRES LOCK UP. THE AWD LIGHTS FLICKERS ON/OFF. CONSTANT SMELL LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNING.

THE CAR STALLS ALOT WHENEVER YOU'RE AT A LIGHT OR GOING SLOW SPEEDS. WILL TURN OFF AND NEEDS TO BE TURNED ON. THE IGNITION LOCKS AND THE KEY WONT TURN WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE CAR ON. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY BLINKING WHEN THE DRIVER SEAT BELT IS NOT ON. WHEN THE SEATBELT IS ON, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS PERMANENTLY ON. THIS MORNING THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE AREA MAKE A LOUD CLUNK WHEN I TURNED LEFT. SHORTLY AFTER AS I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH IT FELT AS IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE SO I PULLED OVER.

GAS COMES SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK WHEN I'M FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH I'M TRYING TO "FILL" THE TANK, AT THE END OF THE FILLING WHEN THE PUMP SHOULD STOP DUE TO THE TANK BEING FULL. IT DOES NOT SPEW OUT IF I'M JUST PUTTING "SOME" GAS IN THE TANK. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS SO IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND NOT THE PUMP. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND JUST FOUND INFORMATION ON THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V003000 REPORT RECEIPT DATE 01/08/2009. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING HOWEVER I WAS TOLD, TODAY, THAT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES LISTED IN THE RECALL. SAFETY RECALL NUMBER H45 - FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. HOW DO I GO ABOUT POSSIBLY GETTING MY VEHICLE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS ISSUE? THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF EITHER 2004 OR 2005.
