2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS, FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE TUBE AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THIS CAR HAS STALLED MULTIPLE OF TIMES, WITH NO LIGHTS, NO WARNING OF IT GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BOB BOYD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR 6 YEARS AGO. IT NOW HAS AROUND 80000 MILES ON IT AND IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, IT HAS STARTED TO GET WORSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING WITH IT UNTIL THE CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT THERE, IT WAS 1 YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AS THEY SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WAS TILL THE YEAR AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN. THIS TIME MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THEM TWICE NOW AND THEY GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER, THAT THEY CANT FIX IT TILL IT BREAKS, THEY HAVE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN FIX IT, MEANWHILE, I HAVE A CAR THAT'S NOT WORKING RIGHT AND VERY DANGEROUS. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS THE FIRST TIME, AND THEN TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AFTER IT STALLED DRIVING IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND TIME, THEY KEPT IT FOR OVER A WEEK, STILL, THEY SAY THEY CANT FIX IT CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. YOU CAN GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS WIDE SPREAD ACROSS THIS COUNTRY, OTHER DODGE PRODUCTS ARE DOING THE SAME THING AND THE DEALERSHIPS AREN'T DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT. PLEASE CONTACT THESE PEOPLE AND GIVE US CONSUMERS A FIGHTING CHANCE IN GETTING THIS FIXED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE PRODUCT AFTER THIS. THANKS FOR READING THIS, AND IF YOU DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, THANK YOU DEARLY FOR DOING SO.

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, GAS SPEWS OUT OF FILLER TUBE POSING FIRE RISK, DAMAGING CLOTHING, AND ADDING VOC'S TO ATMOSPHERE. MANY COMPLAINTS OF SAME THING AND EVEN RECALLS ON VARIOUS MODEL YEARS. MAKES VERY LITTLE SENSE WHY DODGE OR NTSB DOESN'T CONNECT THE DOTS AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM IN A COMPREHENSIVE FASHION. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING BACK INTO TOWN FROM A FAMILY VISIT. WE SLOWED DOWN COMING BACK INTO TOWN AND MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT WHEN WE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE TRIED TO START IT BACK UP HOWEVER MY VEHICLE KEPT STALLING OUT. I TOOK IT TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY KEPT TELLING ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS AT THE DEALERS AND SEVERAL HUNDRED MORE AT THE OTHER TWO PLACES TO THIS DAY IT STILL CUTS OUT AND STALLS OUT WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. NOW BECAUSE IT IS A HAZARD WE DO NOT DRIVE IT AT ALL AND IT IS PARKED IN OUR BACK YARD WAITING FOR A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN...THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. SINCERELY VERY FRUSTRATED. *TR

WHEN I AM FILLING UP MY GAS TANK AT A GAS STATION, THE PUMP WILL KICK OFF WHEN FULL AND A FEW SECONDS AFTER YOU CAN HEAR FUEL RUSHING UP THE TUBE AND THEN SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ON THE GROUND. THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO RUST BECAUSE OF THIS AND I HAVE BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE TO FUEL CLEANUP AT A FEW GAS STATIONS. ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED ON SOME VEHICLES BUT SINCE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

GASOLINE WAS EJECTED FROM MY FILL TUBE AT THE GAS STATION. AFTER FILLING THE TANK THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKED TO STOP AND FUEL SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE COVERING ME AND MY CAR IN GASOLINE. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CAR IS FILLED. *TR I UNDERSTAND CHRYSLER/DODGE HAS RECOGNIZED THIS PROBLEM IN MANY VEHICLES BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED.

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS BEING FILLED THERE IS NO LONGER A SHUT OFF THAT OCCURS THUS GAS OVERFLOWS ON CAR, PERSON AND GAS STATION FLOOR. *TR
