2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, GAS SHOOTS BACK OUT FILLER TUBE. THE GASOLINE WILL SPLASH BACK AT YOU WHEN TANK IS NOT EVEN FULL. VERY DANGEROUS AND CHECKED FOR RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE NOT COVERED BUT MANY OWNERS REPORT SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY, THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RECENTLY, AFTER DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL OVERFLOWED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL FILLER NECK. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURES TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V460000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN DRIVING. WILL SOMETIMES AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO 4 LOCK AND SOMETIMES INTO 4 LOW. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE AND SWERVE DUE TO THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGING. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN OFF. THERE ARE COUNTLESS DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. SOME OF THEM RESULTING IN NEAR MISHAPS. MY VEHICLE IS AT 122,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED. *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN ON 6/3/2020 MY IGNITION SWITCH DECIDED TO STOP WORKING TO THE POINT I WAS STRANDED AT THE GROCERY STORE BECAUSE NONE OF MY KEYS WANTED TO WORK IN THE IGNITION,I COULDN'T TURN MY WHEEL TO UNLOCK I COULDN'T START MY VEHICLE AT ALL. *TR

SO I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE 4WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. I WENT ON THE DODGE WEBSITE AND IT SEEMS THAT EVERYONE THAT OWNS THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. SO ITS NOT JUST A RANDOM THING THAT HAPPENED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IT COULD END UP COSTING SOMEONE'S LIFE. RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED IT MADE A LOUD NOISE THEN WENT BACK TO 2WHEEL DRIVE. THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE 4WHEEL HI AND LOW WAS GOING HAYWIRE. THEN LIKE NOTHING IT TURNED OFF.AND THE CAR DROVE GREAT. BUT AS I WENT FURTHER DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT 3 MORE TIME SO I PARKED IT. I.WAITED A COUPLE HOURS WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING NOISES AS IF IT WAS ENGAGING AD DISENGAGING THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO. THIS IS CLEARLY A MALFUNCTIONING DRIVE TRAIN AND EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO OWNED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 4 WHEEL DRIVE HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS A GREAT CAR BUT THIS MALFUNCTION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, AFTER THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF (INDICATING TANK FULL), GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK AND INTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND PERSON PUMPING GAS IF THEY DON'T JUMP OUT OF THE WAY QUICKLY.

MY PASSANGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME EVEN AFTER RECALL WAS DONE. MY 05 DODGE DURANGO STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE BACKING UP, PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES, MAKING TURNS SOMETIMES DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NO ACCIDENT AS OF YET BEEN GOING ON THE HOLE TIME I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE I AM SICK OF IT 2013 TO 2020

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAKING TURNS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A SMALL VACUUM LEAK DUE TO THE RETENTION PUMP. THE CONTACT CALLED TURNERSVILLE JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM LOCATED AT 3100 NJ-42, TURNERSVILLE, NJ 08081; PHONE NUMBER: (856) 316-7958 BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 99,000.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 55 MPH, SMOKE AND A BURNING SMELL APPEARED OUT OF THE REAR OF THE CAR. AFTER STOPPING, THEN TURNING RIGHT, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD AT THE REAR END. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, AN INSPECTION SHOWED LEAKED FLUID ALL AROUND THE UNDERSIDE REAR END. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL PINION NUT HAD COME LOOSE, WHICH DAMAGED THE PINION SEAL, AND REQUIRED A DIFFERENTIAL OVERHAUL.

ENGINE STALLING WHILE LOW SPEED DRIVING, WHEN DECELERATION, WHILE MAKING A STOP SIGN OR WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED PERSISTENTLY IN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND SETTINGS. ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE TIMES THE VEHICLE'S SHUTTING OFF OCCURS FREQUENTLY AT LOW SPEED, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER NORMAL SPEED. CHRYSLER COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE LISTED ON SOME VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR 2005 THAT EVIDENTLY SHOWS CERTAIN DEFECTS, THEREFORE, OWNERS ARE IMMEDIATELY DISMISS OR IGNORED AND LEFT WITH A LIFE THREATENING VEHICLE ON THEIR HANDS.
