2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT RIGHT AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. EASILY A QUART OF GAS SPRAYS EVERYWHERE. EVEN REFUELING SLOWLY DOES NOT PREVENT THIS. SPILLED GAS PRESENTS A FIRE HAZARD.

MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR NOW STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE CAUSING A DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE .WHILE STOPPING ,TURNING OR SLOWING AND LATELY EVEN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR WILL DIE ,SOMETIMES IM NOT AWARE OF IT UNTIL THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP .I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MANY TIMES INCLUDING ONE TIME I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A BUS .I HAVE 5 SMALL CHILDREN AND IM PARANOID EVERYTIME WE GET IN THE CAR . THE INCIDENTS ARE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY .IN THE BEGGINING IT HAPPENED EVERY FEW DAYS NOW IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IT ALSO REVS RPM WHILE IN PARK AND AT STOPS ,MANY TIMES IT DIES ALTOGETHER . IN ALL THESE CASES THE CAR STARTS RIGHT BACK UP .THERE IS ALSO AN ANNOYING TICKING NOISE FROM THE CAR .I HAVENT HAD THE CAR REPAIRED YET BECAUSE DURING RESAERCH I DISCOVERED MANY PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS AND HAVE SPENT HUNDREDSOF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX BUT TO NO AVAIL . IM ON A LIMITED INCOME AND CANT AFFORD TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEMS REMAIN!! *TT

GAS SPLASHES OUT ON MYSELF AND THE CAR AND THE GROUND EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GASOLINE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED AND VERIFIED THAT IN JAN OF '09 THERE WAS A MASSIVE RECALL ON 2005 DURANGOS REGARDING THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME $75.00 TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR MY YEAR OF DURANGO. I HAVE THE COMPLAINT NUMBER FROM THE NHTSB ANNOUNCING THE MASSIVE RECALL OF THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. WHEN I COMPLAINED AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER.THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. A FIRE COULD START OR WORSE YET , I COULD CATCH ON FIRE WITH THE AMOUNT OF BACKSPLASH I RECEIVE EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK UP FULLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT ON CHRYSLER'S PART AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. AT THE HIGH PRICE OF FUEL I DO NOT EXPECT TO BE DOUSED WITH A SHOWER OF GAS, NOR DO OTHER CUSTOMERS' PARKED NEAR MY CAR AT THE GAS STATION.

2005 DODGE DURANGO - FUEL SPURTS OUT OF TANK AT END OF FILLING NEARLY EVERY TIME. *TT

2005 DODGE DURANGO FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS EVERYTIME I FILL IT UP WITH GAS, ABOUT A GALLON OR SO SHOOTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK BECAUSE THEIR IS A FAULTY PART. I HAVE CALLED DODGE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T IN THE RECALL; BUT IF THE PART HAD BEEN MADE IN A DIFFERENT FACTORY THAT HAD THE DEFECT ISSUES THEN IT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF WASTING MY MONEY ON THE GAS THAT KEEPS SHOOTING OUT OF IT AND WASHING MY VEHICLE OFF EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER 2005 AND 2006 DURANGO OWNERS AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ANY SUGGESTIONS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL BEGAN TO SPILL OUT FROM THE FUEL FILLER NECK. A DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET TAKEN IN FOR DIAGNOSIS.

FIRST, THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THEN, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER QUIT WORKING WHEN THE ABS, PARKING BRAKE, CHECK ENGINE, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RECALL, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDS A NEW ABS CONTROL MODULE AND WIRING HARNESS. THE WIRING HARNESS IS COMPLETELY MELTED, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF A SHORT IN THE CONTROL MODULE - AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE WIRING HARNESS IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER, SO I AM WITHOUT ABS BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, AND A SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER UNTIL THEN. *TR

THE ENGINE SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, STOPPED RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN THE ENGINE STOPS. THE DATE LISTED IS THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. *TR
