2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

STATIONARY: WHEN REFUELING, GREAT AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKS OUT WITH HIGH PRESSURE, SOAKED ME IN GASOLINE CAUSING BURNS AND SKIN IRRITATION ON HALF OF MY BODY, ALSO DAMAGED THE FUEL PANEL SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE AN EXISTENT RECALL ON VEHICLES FROM THE SAME YEAR THAT EVIDENTLY HAVE SAME DEFECTS. MY VEHICLE NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL BUT DEFECT WAS FOUND BY 2 DIFFERENT DODGE MECHANICS SO WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. UNFORTUNATELY, IN MY FIRST DRIVE IT ALMOST KILLED ME IN A ZONE WHERE VEHICLES GO AT 70 MPH. IN THE HIGHWAY SOMETHING SUDDENLY SNAPPED LOUDLY, FUEL SPLATTER LEAKING OUT WITH PRESSURE, SMOKE COMING OUT, VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AGGRESSIVELY OUT OF CONTROL, THEN VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE RUNNING, TWICE. THE VEHICLE REMAIN WITH AN ASPHYXIATING FUEL ODOR, FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE WERE AT SCENE, CHRYSLER KEPT ME HOURS IN THE PHONE CONSTANTLY WASHING THEIR HANDS FROM 2PM UNTIL 8PM, CALL AFTER CALL AND NEITHER CHRYSLER OR THE DODGE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED ANY SOLUTION NOR HELP, WE ALMOST DIED TODAY, THIS DEFECT ALMOST KILLED US.

WHEN I GET GAS IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I HAVE A LITTLE GAS OR HALF A TANK MY GAS AS I'M PUMPING ALWAYS COMES OUT AND BACKFIRES AT ME ....IT JUST STARTS SPITTING OUT AT ME FOR NO REASON... EVEN WHEN I'M EMPTY AND I START PUMPING GAS IT HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS OF PUMPING GAS IT JUST DECIDES TO COME BACK AT ME.. SO I'M WASTING GAS ALL THE TIME IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY FOURTH TIME I GET GAS....

THE TRANSFER CASE IS CHANGING FROM ALL WHEEL DRIVE INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE HIGH AND LOW BY ITSELF AT RANDOM. IT FIRST HAPPENED TO MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. SHE WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCHED ON ITS ON. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. DODGE SAYS THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. YOUR VEHECILE'S TRANSFER CASE MOVING ALL BY ITSELF. WHEN THE VEHECILE IS PARKED YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ACTUATING WITH NOTHING ON. CAR PARKED. THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH NO ANSWERS AND DODGE KNOWS NOTHING OR IS PRETENDING TO. THIS IS BIG. DANGEROUS ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL [XXX]. [XXX]. THA CAR IS PARKED UNTIL. THIS IS A DODGE PROBLEM NOT THE CONSUMER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE FILL TUBE WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW THE TANK IS FILLED. WHEN FULL, THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE DOES SHUT OFF BUT ONLY AFTER GAS HAS SPURTED OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE FENDER. I NEED TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT DATE IS LISTED BELOW.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 4WD HEMI, HAS BEEN KICKING ITSELF INTO 4 WD, 4 LO AND EVEN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WILL BE OFF AND YOU CAN HEAR MECHANICAL MECHANISMS AT WORK. THE VEHICLE GOING INTO NEUTRAL HAS HAPPENED ONLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE THE OTHER SHIFTS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING PARKED DRIVING OR NO KEY.
