2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK UP WITH GAS AND THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF A LOT OF GASOLINE SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE DURANGO AND ON THE GROUND. I'M THE SECOND OWNER. THE FIRST OWNER WARNED ME OF THIS BEFORE HAND. HE SAID IT HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS AND NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID "MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL." THE RECALL WAS FOR THE CHECK VALVE. THEY ALSO SAID "BRING IT IN TO A DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT." I ASKED IF THEY WOULD FIX IT AT THEIR COST. THEY SAID "THERE IS NO GUARANTY." THIS IS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. *TR

WHEN YOU ARE FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF WHEN IT'S FULL. THE TANK OR CHECK VALVE DOESN'T CLOSE AND A LOT OF GASOLINE FLOWS BACK OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE DURANGO AND ON THE GROUND. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ERRONEOUSLY DISPLAYED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL.THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 202,000. *TR

UPON FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION, WHEN THE PUMP SHUT OFF, THERE WAS AN OVERFLOW FROM THE GAS TANK. ABOUT THE SAME TIME, I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES AND WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED TO HAVE THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED AND THERE WAS A RECALL OUT FOR THE JOB. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT QUALIFY. UPDATED 05/08/14

4WD ENGAGES WITHOUT SWITCH BEING THROWN. 4WD ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES AT WILL. SO FAR JUST ANNOYING, BUT COULD CAUSE CRASH IF IT ENGAGES ON TURN AT MEDIUM SPEED. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON (MIL), AND WAS INSPECTED FOR MASS STATE INSPECTION. IT FAILED DUE TO EMISSIONS. THE ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED A EVAP LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO A LOCAL SERVICE STATION FOR THE ISSUE, AND I WAS ADVISED THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THAT THE TOP WAS CORRODED (PLASTIC). THE SERVICE SHOP THOUGHT IT WAS ODD AS THE VEHICLE WAS MAINTAINED PROPERLY, LOW MILEAGE, AND NEVER SAW THE PLASTIC JUST CRUMBLE LIKE THIS. THEY HELD ONTO THE ORIGINAL CHRYSLER FUEL PUMP FOR A WHILE AND THEN DISCARDED IT. ONCE REPAIR COMPLETED, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO BUCK (PULLING). IT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO SERVICE SHOP, AND NO CODE WAS AVAILABLE, BUT WAS TOLD COMPUTER NEEDED TO CATCH UP AS IT WAS CLEARED AT TIME OF REPAIR DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING DISCONNECTED. A WEEK PASSED VEHICLE STILL BUCKING. BROUGHT TO DEALER, KELLY CHRYSLER JEEP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE AND INSPECTED NEW FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT FOR FAULTY WORKMANSHIP AND FOUND NOTHING. DROVE TRUCK, AND STILL BUCKING. BROUGHT TO ANOTHER LOCAL SERVICE STATION, AND THEY REPLACED TWO SENSORS, CRANK SHAFT, AND EGR. BUCKING STOPPED, BUT ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. INSPECTED AGAIN, AND STATES EVAP LEAK. LOCAL SERVICE DOES NOT HAVE SMOKE MACHINE, SO TRUCK WENT TO THE DEALER, KELLY CHRYSLER AND FOR RECALL ON INLET VALVE. UPON INSPECTION, TOP OF WHOLE FUEL TANK CORRODED AS WELL AS THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN. FIRE HAZARD! PROBLEMS ALL CONNECTED TO FUEL SYSTEM. THE INLET VALVE CAUSED THE FUEL TO SPILL OVER AND UNDER THE REAR LEFT OF THE TRUCK CAUSING CORROSION TO THE PAINT, AND THE TOP OF THE TANK AND FUEL PUMP. THIS IS THE 2ND FUEL PUMP IN 2 YEARS??? IT TOOK CHRYSLER 8 YEARS TO ADVISE ME OF THE RECALL FOR THE INLET VALVE AND NOW THERE IS ALL THIS ENSUING DAMAGE AS A RESULT BESIDES THE FIRE HAZARD AND THE FUMES THAT ROSE UP IN THE TRUCK BODY. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES! *TR

WE WERE FILLING THE FUEL TANK AT A GAS STATION, AFTER THE TANK WAS FILLED IT SPRAYED FUEL ON MY WIFE. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THIS RECALL. I WILL ALSO CONTACT DODGE ,BUT I ALSO HAVE READ A FEW INSTANCES WHERE THEY ARE RESISTANT TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE SO I DECIDED TO ALSO REPORT IT HERE. *TR

THE VEHICLE BUCKED, AS IF MISFIRING. IT OCCURS FREQUENTLY SINCE THAT TIME. IT ALSO HAS A STARTING ISSUE. SPORADIC NON-RESPONSE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STALLING WITHOUT WARNING ON COMMON BASIS. NO ENGINE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. *TR

WHEN I WAS TURNING INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING ABOUT 5 TO 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING JUST SHUT DOWN ON ME. I HAD TO COAST IT OVER TO THE SIDE AND TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART. THANKFULLY, THERE WAS NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY JUST FIXED SOMETHING WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPUTER SYSTEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT GIVES THE DRIVER NO WARNING AT ALL. HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS OR DECELERATING. *TR
