WHEN FILLING WITH GAS FUEL WILL COME BACK OUT THE FILLING SPOUT AND SPILL GAS ALL OVER THE CAR AND GROUND, AND SOMETIMES THE PERSON FILLING IT. DODGE HAS HAD RECALL ON SOME OF THE 2005 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT OURS DOES NOT FALL INTO THEIR RANGE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG SAFETY CONCERN WITH FUEL GOING ON ME, THE CAR, AND THE GROUND. *TR

THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN FAILS AND CAUSES THE WRONG TURN INDICATOR LIGHTS (BOTH ON THE DASH AND ON THE EXTERIOR) TO ACTIVATE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE STALK TO INDICATE A LEFT TURN THE RIGHT TURN LIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED. SO, IF YOU ARE IN A LEFT TURN LANE AND YOU TRY TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE TURNING LEFT THE RIGHT INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL ACTIVATE AND CONFUSE THE OTHER DRIVERS AND COULD CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE, GAS OVERFLOWS. WHEN VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN NUMBER FOR THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR IT AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. *TR

WHEN FILLING WITH GAS, FUEL WILL SPILL BACK OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE, SOME TIMES WHEN IT GETS FULL, OTHER TIMES IT WILL DO IT ALL THE TIME. DODGE HAS HAD RECALLS ON SOME OF THESE 2005 FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT FOR SOME REASON OURS DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RANGE. EVERY TIME WILL FILL FUEL THERE IS GAS EVERYWHERE. *TR

FROM TIME VEHICLE PURCHASED IT WOULD OVERFLOW GAS WHEN TRYING TO FILL TANK,RECENTLY ( APPROX. 93000 MILES)A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IS SMELT WHEN STANDING BY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND ALSO ON FLOOR IN PASSENGER AREA.IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THERE MAY BE A FUEL LEAK COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. TALKED WITH DODGE AND THEY ARE SAYING THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND DODGE SAYS THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THEIR VEHICLES, WRONG SERIAL NUMBERS. OBVIOUSLY THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL 2005 DURANGOS WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR
