2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

EVERYTIME IT RAIN WATER IS GETTING INSIDE THE ENGINE DUE A DEFECT WATER COWLING AT THE WINDSHIELD THAT LET WATER INTO THE INTAKE AND SPARK PLUG IGNITION COIL CAUSING ENGINE MISFIRE AND HYDRO LOCK CAUSING THE ENGINE TO FAIL . THERE HAD BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUES WITH CUSTOMERS WHO OWN 2004-2006 DODGE DURANGO AND CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO FIX IT . I MADE A VIDEO TO SHOW YOU THE PROBLEM . HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=WTQ2GKNO0N8. *TR

MY CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT WOULD START JERKING AT SLOW SPEED WHOLE TURNING (USUALLY WHILE PARKING). SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE 4LO LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR WOULD ALSO MAKE A SOUND WHILE PARKED LIKE SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO SWITCH ON, THIS WOULD HAPPEN USUALLY AFTER USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE. I'VE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM A LOT OF DODGE DURANGO OWNERS HAVE. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE 4WD DISCONNECTED AND HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM BUT THAT'S NOT A PERMANENT FIX. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED 4X4 IT CONSTANTLY LOCKS INTO 4LO AND 4LOCK ALL ON ITS OWN AND ENGAGES ON ITS OWN EVEN WITH VEHICLE OFF MOST TIMES LOCKING IN 4LO CAUSING TIRES TO STICK AND VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE OR TURN THIS HAPPENS AT ANY RATE OF SPEED ALSO WHEN FIRST STARTING TRUCK AND PUTTING IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE TRANSMISSION IS GIVES A LOUD AIR LEAKING NOISE AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO PICK UP AND DRIVE I HAVE JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES TO BE TOLD THEY ARE UNSURE WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SEE THAT SEVERAL DODGE DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE PLEASE HELP. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOWS WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK UP. GAS KICKS BACK SMELL GAS FUMES WHILE PARKED SOME TIMES. DEALER SAYS ITS NOT COVERED. BUT THERE IS A RECALL FOR FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE. VEHICLE WAS ALREADY CORRECTED ONCE FOR SAME ISSUE. PROBLEM REOCCURRED. *JS

CAR IS SHUTTING OFF AND THE POWER STEERING IS LOCKING DURING SLIGHT TURNS. ONCE IN MY DRIVEWAY, ONCE AT A DRIVE THRU AND ONCE IN A FIELD WHILE PARKING AT THE AIR SHOW. THE ONE AT THE AIR SHOW TOOK 15 MINUTES TO GET THE WHEEL TO UNLOCK TO FINALLY RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 5 DAYS NOW. I'M AFRAID FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR (IT'S HER CAR) NOW. THE KIDS WERE IN IT 2 OUT OF THE 3 TIMES. VERY VERY SCARY. *TR

THIS IS MY 2ND 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000. CHRYSLER RECALL H45. WHEN FILLING THE TANK, GAS SPITS BACK AT YOU. GASOLINE HITS YOUR PANTS, SHOES, AND ALL OVER THE GAS STATION PAVEMENT. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME YOU FILL THE TANK. THE WORKAROUND IS NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY BUT THAT IS A HIT OR MISS ISSUE. I CALL CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T SEE THIS ISSUE WITH MY 2ND DURANGO. I'D TYPICALLY ACCEPT IT BUT SEEING HOW BOTH MY DURANGOS HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IT IS A LITTLE BIT HARD TO SWALLOW. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE ISSUE FOR AT LEAST A YEAR AND I AM READY FOR CHRYSLER TO FIX IT BEFORE THERE IS A FIRE OR OTHER EPA ISSUE. THANKS *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 THAT IS SUDDENLY KICKING IN ON ITS OWN, VEHICLE PARKED KEY OUT STILL CLICKING AND TURNING ON AND OFF. SO THE SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING, THEN THE VEHICLE SWITCHED IN TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND STUCK. WE TOWED THIS VEHICLE HOME THEN TOOK TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE ARE VEHICLE STILL SITS 5 DAYS LATER, CAN NOT FIND THE ISSUE, ALSO WHEN YOU CLICK THE ALARM UNLOCK AND LOCK YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING, WE HAVE READ LOTS OF PEOPLES REPORTS OF THEIR VEHICLE DOING THE SAME THING ON YEARS 2004 & 2005 WITH THE HEMI MOTOR, PLEASE IF ANYONE FINDS OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THEIRS OR IF FIND ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS THEN PLEASE WRITE A POST ABOUT IT,, I THINK OUR NEXT STEP IS TO GO TO DODGE AND MAKE THEM TAKE THIS POS BACK.... OR FIX.... *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND AS I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN MY TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN. I HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKE FOR IT TO STOP AND I CAN THEN PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN THE KEY TO TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN OF THE AGE OF 1 & 2. HAVING THEM IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS NERVE WRECKING. IT'S HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. I HAVE ASKED MECHANICS IN REGARDS TO THIS AND HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IT IS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THAT IT DID THE SAME NOT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN HE TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER, THEY COULDN'T TELL HIM WHAT IT WAS EITHER. MY LAST (MOST RECENT) INCIDENT WAS ON 5/10/14 - THE CAR SHUT OFF FOUR TIMES THAT DAY. 2 HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, ONE HAPPENED AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PARK AND ONE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TURNING AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURNING LANE WHILE MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS WITH MY FUEL TANK. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK BECAUSE WHEN I DO ... IT SPITS OUT GAS. ALSO, I'VE HAD TO SWITCH OUT MY IL PRESSURE SWITCH TWICE SINCE FEBRUARY 2014. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHY IT'S DOING THAT. *TR
