2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

I'M CONTACTING YOU IN REGARDS TO MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I HAVE ENCOUNTERED IT STALLING MAKING TURNS, DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND AT LIGHTS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AFTER HAVING A TUNE UP ON THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I HAVE PRINTED OFF FROM SEVERAL SITES THE COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHRYSLER/DODGE. I HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FINDING THAT THE ISSUE IS THE EGR SYSTEM. THE SAME THING WITH THE AIR BAG ISSUE THAT I'M RECEIVING, I'LL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND GET AN ALERT THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS TURNED OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. THERE IS TWO RECALLS IN PLACE NOW FOR AIR BAG ISSUES. I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS AND REACH OUT TO CHRYSLER TO GET THIS RESOLVED FOR CONSUMERS. *TR

THE GAS WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE. GAS RUNS OUT ON THE GROUND. I HAVE A LIGHT THAT COMES ON SAYING GAS CAP EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT A NEW ONE. AND I HAVE RUST ON THE SIDE WHERE GAS HAS RUN DOWN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IN MY VEHICLE HAS WENT CRAZY. LIGHTS FLASHING GAUGES MALFUCTIONING AND AT THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT TAKE ANY FUEL YOU COULD PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR ALL YOU WANTED BUT IT WOULD NOT TAKE FUEL. I HAVE READ WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEIR GAS REFUELING TO. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS AND I WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE PLEASE. I THINK THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISTAKES AND THIS IS CLEARLY THEIR MISTAKE. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD HIGH IDLE THEN WHEN PUT IN GEAR IT WOULD NOT TAKE GAS AND WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND TURNING THE KEY OFF AND TAKING IT OUT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE PLEASE THIS SCARES ME ALOT. *TR

WHEN YOU GO TO PUT GAS IN IT THE GAS WONT SHUT OFF AND I HAVE AN INSIDE LIGHT THAT SAYS GAS CAP EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND I HAVE RUST WHERE THE GAS HAS RUN DOWN THE CAR. IM ALSO HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY GAUGES IN THE VEHICLE AND IT TAKES SPELLS THAT IT DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE GAS. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HEMI HAS STARTED TO BEHAVE ODDLY. FIRST...IT STARTED WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO LIFT THE GATE IN THE BACK? JUST LOCKED UP AND WE COULD NOT OPEN IT FOR MONTHS. IT THEN PROGRESSED TO AN ISSUE WITH THE REMOTE NOT WORKING TO UNLOCK ANYTHING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO QUOTED US AT $350 + TO FIX THE REMOTE...UMMM NO. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN OPENING MY DOOR USING THE KEY. LATE LAST YEAR I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE TIRES WOULD LOCK UP AND NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHEN COMPLETING A SHARP TURN (IE: TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY) THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE 4LO LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. THEN I STARTED HEARING THE TRUCK ACTUALLY ATTEMPT TO SWITCH ITSELF IN AND OUT OF AWD! THIS CREATES A CRAZY CLICKING AND SHIFTING SOUND IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY WHILE I AN DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND OFF? WE TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS WHOM COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT? I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL ATTEMPT TO MAKE A FAST SHARP TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TIRES WILL LOCK UP LEAVING ME SCREWED. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND WHENEVER ANYONE HAS THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE SOMETHING...IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I THINK DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THESE VEHICLES AS THEY ARE A SAFETY THREAT TO FAMILIES!! *TR

AFTER FILLING UP VEHICLE, A QUANTITY OF GASOLINE FLUSHED OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK CAUSING A DISTINCT FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR EACH FILL UP. *TR

WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I SMELT SOMETHING BURNING IN THE DASH BOARD AND ALL INSTRUMENT LIGHTS STARTED TO GET DIM AND DIMMER AND THEN I NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AND ALL MOST IMMEDIATELY THE DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS STOP WORKING, THE CAR WOULD LOCK ITSELF AND THE WINDOWS STOP WORKING AT ALL AND AT THIS POINT THE REAR DOOR DO NOT OPEN AT ALL. I ASK THE DEALER AT THE LOT THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN A ACCIDENT OR WAS THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND HE SAID NO AND THAT I BOUGHT THE VAN AS IS AND TO THIS DAY I CANT GET THIS DEALER TO SEE THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AND THAT I AM NOT GOING TO RISK MINE NOR MY KIDS LIFE TO DRIVE IT AND HE WILL NOT EVEN TRADE ME OUT OF THIS CAR FOR SOMETHING BETTER. THE OTHER DAY I WAS FUELING THE VAN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN GASOLINE SHOT BACK OUT THE TANK AND SPILLED GAS ALL OVER ME, SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. NOT ONLY THAT, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN MY STATE AND OUT OF NO WHERE MY SEAT ON ITS OWN TERMS BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD ALL THE WAY TO THE STEERING WHEELING PRESSING ME TO THE WHEEL AND I AM 6FT 3IN TALL AND WEIGH 230LBS I AGAIN CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN AND GOT THE SAME STORY THAT I AGREED TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AS IS, I AGREED THAT I DID BUT I TOLD HIM THAT I DO NOT THINK THAT HE TOLD ME EVERYTHING THAT I NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES. AND AGAIN I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AGE 6 MONTHS TO FOUR YEARS OLD WHOM I LOVE VERY DEARLY. *TR
