2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OUR DURANGO. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED WITH APPROX 60K MILES ON IT. IT IS TOTALLY AT RANDOM. I'M ALWAYS ABLE TO POP IT INTO NEUTRAL AND START IT BACK UP AGAIN AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS IS NOT ONLY THAT THE ENGINE TOTALLY SHUTS OFF(AS IF THAT ISN'T A HUGE ISSUE IN ITSELF), BUT THAT THE POWER STEERING/POWER BRAKES GO OUT AS WELL MAKING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT A HUGE ISSUE. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD A STUTTER WHEN DRIVING. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, BEING TOLD THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR PULL ANY CODES. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM TO LOCATE THEIR DEFECT. AT THIS POINT DODGE NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I URGE EVERYONE TO ALSO SUBMIT THIS PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA. *TR

WE RECENTLY PURCHASE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO V-8 HEMI. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF HAVING IT I NOTICED THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IT SOUNDS AS THE DOOR ISN'T CLOSED ALL THE WAY, BUT WHEN I GOTO TO RE- SHUT IT TO MAKE SURE IT IS CLOSED, IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE IT IS OPEN. THEN MY 2 YEAR OLD SON HAD ROLLED HIS WINDOW DOWN THE SAME TIME I HAD AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE DOOR WOULD FLY OFF AND SMACK INTO A ANOTHER CAR/ BICYCLIST ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING! THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED RIGHT AWAY! FROM READING OTHER REVIEWS ONLINE OF THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING, IT IS OBVIOUS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THESE VEHICLES AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT DODGE WILL TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER! I AM SO UPSET ABOUT THIS SITUATION, I HAVE AN INFANT SON AND A 2 YEAR OLD AND THE THOUGHT OF BEING IN A WRECK OR HURTING SOMEONE ELSE IS MIND BOGGLING AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IF SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I HOPE THAT DODGE DOESN'T SEE THIS AS A MINOR DEFECT AND FIXES IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPILL OUT ONTO THE GROUND.

THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

DURING FILLING GAS ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED (5.7 L HEMI), THE GAS HAS STARTED RUNNING OUT OR SPRAYING OUT OF THE FILLING NOZZLE AS THE FUEL TANK BECOMES FULL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN 5 OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CLAIMS MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR A FAULTY FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE, BUT I CONTINUALLY HAVE TO MONITOR MY GAS GAUGE AS I'M FILLING MY VEHICLE EACH TIME TO AVOID GAS SPEWING OUT AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THIS MODEL WITH SELECT VIN NUMBERS, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MINE IS NOT COVERED? *KB
