2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN REFUELING, IT CAUSES THE PUMP TO STOP SENDING FUEL AND THEN THE FUEL GUSHES OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, NOZZLE, AND GROUND. MINE IS MUCH WORSE THAN THIS EXAMPLE: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=B0-_9WG6DW4 I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN RICHMOND, KY AND THEY SAID MY VIN DID NOT FALL IN THEIR TSB/RECALL FOR THIS VERY SAME SYMPTOM. *TR

OIL BURNING SMELL WHEN PURCHASED. SALESMAN SAID POSSIBLE WHEN THEY CHANGED OIL SOME SPILLED ON ENGINE, IT HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE NOW AND GOTTEN WORSE, WE REPLACED THE VALVE COVER GASKET WITH NO HELP HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG IT SMELLS LIKE BURNT OIL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000. THE VIN INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY GAS TANK SPLASHES BACK AT ME WHEN I FILL IT. WHEN I WENT TO GET IT CHECKED OUT I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST THAT IS STATING AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM TO OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING TO FULL CAPACITY, THE FILLER CAP WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND CAUSE FUEL TO LEAK ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE STATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHEN I FILL UP WITH GASOLINE, IF I DO NOT STOP 2 GALLONS SHY OF A FILL OR SLOW IT TO A TRICKLE, IT WILL SPEW ABOUT A 1/2 GALLON OF GASOLINE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CLOSE TO 25,000 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES AS THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. I CALLED AND MY PARTICULAR 2005 DURANGO WAS NO INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHILE CLEARLY HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF DODGE WOULD EXPAND THEIR RECALL TO THOSE EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. *JS

I WAS IN NYC LAST WEEK. I WAS MAKING A TURN IN THE CITY THE TRUCK CUT OFF. A TRACTOR TRAILER AND SEVERAL CARS WERE BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RE-START IT. HOWEVER, IF SOMEONE BEHIND WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION THAT ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE. PRIOR TO THAT I WAS DRIVING ON THE FDR AND TRUCK CUT OFF ON ME AGAIN, WHILE IN TRAFFIC. AGAIN I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND START IT UP AGAIN. I KNOW GOOD AND WELL CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I SEE TOO MANY DURANGO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE CREATE A RECALL WE AND OUR FAMILIES LIVES ARE DEPENDING ON IT!!!! *JS

THE FUEL FILLER SPITS FUEL BACK OUT OF THE TANK WHILE FILLING CAUSING AN OVERFLOW ONTO THE TRUCK, THE GROUND, AND THE PERSON FILLING THE FUEL TANK. DODGE HAS ISSUED SELECTIVE RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT APPARENTLY THERE AREN'T ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY PARTICULAR YEAR TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. (ACCORDING TO DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE) THERE ARE RECALLS FOR DURANGO'S BOTH NEWER AND OLDER THAN MINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY A HEALTH HAZARD AND A FIRE HAZARD ISN'T A CONCERN TO DODGE UNLESS ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN...WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT CUTOFF POINT? *JS
