2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK GAS WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND PERSON ONCE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN FULL. CONFIRMED BY DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT THE FILLER VALUE IN THE NECK IS MALFUNCTIONING. RESEARCHED AND FOUND RECALLS ON CERTAIN 2005 VINS AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON 2006-2008 MODELS. MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED AND DODGE WILL NOT SUPPORT THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR. *TR

GAS OVERFLOWS AND EJECTS WHEN FUELING. WHEN THE AUTO SHUT-OFF OF THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE TRIGGERS, A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUEL IS EXPELLED FROM THE FILLER AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A REPORTED ISSUE COVERING MANY MAKES AND MODEL YEARS OF DODGE VEHICLES. WHEN CONTACTING A DODGE REPRESENTATIVE, SHE INDICATED THAT THE WARRANTY HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED OR DOES NOT COVER MY VIN#. SHE ALSO INDICATED THAT EACH CALL IS TRACKED AND WHEN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CALLS/PROBLEM REPORTS ARE OBTAINED, THEY WOULD CONSIDER THE RE-EVALUATION OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN FILLING VEHICLE UP GAS OVERFLOWS BACK OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, COMING TO A STOP, OR TURNING LEFT AT SLOW SPEEDS 0-5 MPH MY ENGINE STALL WITHOUT WARNING. NO LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON THE DASH TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT RPMS FLUCTUATE (INCREASE/DECREASE) WHILE MY FOOT IS OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT I HAD BAD FUEL AND PUT AN FUEL ADDITIVE IN THE TANK TO HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, I REPLACED THE AIR FILTER, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I AM NOW GOING TO REPLACE THE EGR, BUT I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHERS HAVE DONE SO WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. BASED ON THE NOTICES PLACED HERE AND AT VARIOUS OTHER WEB-SITES FOR SEVERAL YEARS RUNNING, IT APPEARS THAT DODGE DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSPORTING MY GRAND KIDS, AND LACROSSE PLAYERS TO AND FROM VARIOUS EVENTS. IF DODGE DOES NOT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM, AND I OR SOMEONE I AM TRANSPORTING IS INJURED OR KILLED IN A ACCIDENT BASED ON THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE MALFUNCTION, DODGE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

WHEN PUTTING FUEL IN THE GAS TANK, ONCE IT FILL UP IT SHOOTS GAS OUT. NOT A LITTLE GAS EITHER, ALOT OF GAS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE 2006 THROUGH 2008 DURANGOS BUT NOT THE 2005. THE RECALL WAS FOR CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THE WOULDN'T WANT TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ( THAT TELLS YOU THE TANK IS FULL) HAS NOT KICKED IN CAUSING THE TANK TO OVER FLOW AND KICK BACK GAS SPRAY ALL OVER ME, MY FIANCE, OR THE ATTENDANT AT THE GAS STATION. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED JUST ONCE, BUT MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE 9 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND MY VIN COMES BACK WITH NO ACTIVE RECALLS, I EVEN WENT AS FAR AS READING IN DETAIL THE NHTSA RECALL REPORTS (09V003000 AND 05V034000) TO OBTAIN MANUFACTURE DATES TO COMPARE AGAINST MY OWN. NEEDLESS TO SAY MINE DOES NOT FIT IN THE DATE RANGE (3/1/04-11/30/04) HAVING BEEN MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY 2005, BUT DOES INFACT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE MODELS UNDER RECALL. THIS IS SOMETHING I WANT TO HAVE FIXED BUT DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO DO SO SEEING AS THIS IS AN ISSUE THEY KNEW THEY HAD AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED BUT QUITE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT. I AM TIRED OF BEING AFRAID TO FILL MY GAS TANK AND GETTING COVERED IN GAS WHEN I DO. *TR

THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY STATED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) OR 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

AT THE END OF FUELING FUEL GUSHES BACK FROM FUEL FILLER RECEPTICAL. THIS HAPPENS USING PUMP SET FOR AUTO CUT OFF OR MANUAL OPERATION. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME FUELING IS COMPLETED WITHOUT STOPPING SHORT OF AUTO FUEL CUT OFF BY THE PUMP. THIS TO ME IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY DIFFERENT DURANGO YEAR MODELS BUT ONLY TWO SEEM TO FALL UNDER THEIR RECALLS, THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO ANY OF THE NORMALLY CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR ITEMS BUT RATHER A SYSTEM THAT SHOULD BE REASONABLY CONSIDERED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM RATHER THAN JUST A FEW COUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO ANY TIME OR MILEAGE CONSTRAINTS. IN LIGHT OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE WHAT RELIEF COULD/SHOULD WE EXPECT REGUARDING THIS ISSUE? *TT
