2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

I JUST PURCHASED THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED ON DECEMBER 11TH, 2012, I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY ON THE MORNING OF FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14TH, 2012, THE PUMP CLICKED OFF, AND GAS SPRAYED EVERYWHERE. DODGE WILL NOT HELP ME, NEITHER WILL ANY OMAHA DODGE DEALER. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT SPRAYED GASOLINE EVERYWHERE WHEN PUMPING GAS, THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AT THE PLANT. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO QUALITY CONTROL IN AMERICA, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!! THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN!! *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED USED VEHICLE. EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP THE FUEL TANK, WHEN THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF FUEL SPRAYS PAST THE NOZZLES VAPOR RECOVERY BOOT AND OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK. THIS IS VAPORIZED/ATOMIZED GASOLINE, WHICH LEADS TO AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD. I NOTIFIED DODGE OF THIS SITUATION, BUT THEY RESPONDED ONLY BY SAYING THAT THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS OR CAMPAIGNS REGARDING MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT WOULD RAIN OR SNOW, WATER WOULD ENTER THE STEERING COLUMN AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEIZE SPORADICALLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN STEERING CONTROL AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. IN ADDITION, THE FAILURE WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WOULD ALSO OCCUR WHEN THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN REVERSE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD INDEPENDENTLY RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS BUT NONE WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE REASON FOR FILING A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT IS AS FOLLOWS: EVERY TIME I HAVE TRIED TO FILL-UP MY GAS TANK ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, THE GAS NOT ONLY STARTS TO SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK. IT SHOOTS OUT ALL OVER ME AND THE FLOOR. THE DEALER (TOWN AND COUNTRY JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IS INSISTING THERE IS NO SUCH RECALL FOR THIS EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE. ON TOP OF THAT, THEY HAVE ALSO SUGGESTING THAT I BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION AT THEIR LABOR RATE WHICH IS $ 110.00 PER HOUR. PLEASE NOTE I AM A SMOKER AND NOT PROUD OF. EVEN IF I WEREN'T, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY REFUSE TO SEE THIS AS AN INCIDENT OR WHAT'S WORSE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE LESS OF A COST TO THEM NOW, RATHER THAN TAKING SUCH A RISK IN THE FUTURE WITH SOMEONE'S LIFE OR LIVES. PRIORITIES?????? MEANWHILE I'LL CONTINUE TO STOCK UP PAPER TOWELS ON TRIP TO THE GAS STATION. WAY TO GO ( TOWN AND COUNTRY). *TR
