2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED THIS PRE-OWNED VEHICLE 10/29/2011. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME WE FILL THE TANK. THE FUEL HANDLE CLICKS TO SHUT OF THE FLOW OF GASOLINE TO THE TANK, THEN ABOUT A SECOND LATER, THE FUEL BEGINS TO SPEW BACK OUT OF THE TANK, DRAINING DOWN THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, COVERING THE GROUND, AND MYSELF AS I STAND NEARBY. EACH TIME I ESTIMATE BETWEEN 1/4 & 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL IS WASTED. I VERIFIED WITH MY LOCAL CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP 5 STAR DEALER THAT MY VIN ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE LIMITED RECALL FROM YEARS PAST. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS MY WIFE RUNS A HOME DAYCARE AND CHILDREN ARE FREQUENTLY IN THE DURANGO WHERE FUMES ARE PREVELANT AFTER THE SPILL. *TT

WHENEVER I FILL THE GAS TANK, GAS COMES POURING BACK OUT AT ME. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK! THERE'S AT LEAST A 1/4 TO 1/2 A GALLON OF GAS THAT COMES POURING OUT. NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS WASTED FUEL I ALSO AM PUTTING SEVERAL PEOPLE AT RISK OF A FIRE EVERY TIME I FILL UP DUE TO THE UNSAFE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM. I EXPECT THAT WHEN I PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE SAFE. DOESN'T CHRYSLER HAVE THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY IN MIND....IF SO, CORRECT THE PROBLEM!

BOUGHT CAR IN 2007 HAD TO REPLACE ONE KEY BECAUSE OF ELECTRONICS AT 180 DOLLARS EACH, 2009 CHANGED CAR BATTERY HAD TO RESET KEYS AT 80 DOLLARS, 2011 KEYS NEED REPLACED AGAIN AT 130 DOLLARS EACH. BAD DESIGN SO THEY CAN KEEP FLEASING YOU FOR MONEY. ALSO HAD FUEL TANK REPLACED, BRAKE LINES RUBBED TOGETHER CAUSING HOLE IN LINE AND LOSS OF BRAKES, DUST COVER ON DRIVERS SEAT BELT BROKE OFF, SCREWS IN BACK TAIL GATE KEEP LOOSENING AND FALLING OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHENEVER THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

ADD ONE MORE COMPLAINT TO THE OTHERS ABOUT GAS SPEWING OUT WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL, ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AFTER TALKING TO ANOTHER DURANGO OWNER. I HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE BUT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH THE DURANGO. I WILL BE CONTACTING OUR DEALER (AND OTHERS IF NEEDED) TO SEE IF WE QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. HAVE HELD OFF TAKING IT FOR REPAIR AFTER HAVING TO PAY $800 ON A LOCKED UP STEERING WHEEL ON A 3 YR OLD VEHICLE. AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE $300 KEYS THAT STOP WORKING DUE TO A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL WOULD SPILL OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK AND THE GAS PUMP WOULD INADVERTENTLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, WHEN SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE VENTS, DASHBOARD AND FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE SEAT BELT SENSOR ALARM SOUNDED AND THE BRAKE AND OIL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT FROM THE FUEL TANK ONTO THE GROUND DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY) BUT THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

UPON FUELING MY VEHICLE UP ON A REGULAR BASIS; THE FUEL PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AT TIME OF FILL UP, BUT THEN A BACKLASH OF FUEL OCCURS TO BE BACKING UP IN THE FUEL PIPE AND SPRAYING/GUSHING OUT ALL OVER MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS AND PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE. WHY HASN'T ANYONE REALIZED THAT THIS IS MOST DANGEROUS AND "ALL VEHICLES" CLAIMING TO THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER, SIMPLY A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND THUS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CORP. RECALL INFO # IS 09V003000 PLEASE RESPOND AND KINDLY INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION AND ADVISE ME OF MY NEXT STEP WITH LOCAL DEALER. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL THE GAS WILL COME POURING BACK OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT. I HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE CLEANED THE FILTER BUT FILLED IT AGAIN TODAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAD MY VIN CHECKED BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN DODGES RECALL. THE DODGE DEALER QUOTED JUST UNDER $1,000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
