2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE FUEL WILL BEGIN TO SPEW OUT FROM THE FUEL TANK ONTO THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE, AND EVEN THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) BUT DUE TO THE VIN NUMBER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD START A FIRE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,600.

1-2 POSSIBLE CONCERNS- #1- (5.7 V.8 ENGINE ISSUE) AS MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED THE VEHICLE STALLS AND QUITS ON SUDDEN STOPS, AND WHEN MAKING TURN. AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF - IT CAN BE RESTARTED - BUT NO ENGINE CODE IS GENERATED. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC CAUSE, BUT CITES NUMEROUS THINGS THAT IT CAN BE - WANTING ME TO SPEND $$ TO INVESTIGATE EACH ONE AND REPLACE PARTS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE DURANGO AND ENGINE STALL. THE ISSUE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLICATE - EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN OR SO TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. ON SEVERAL OF THIS OCCASIONS I (AND MY FAMILY OF 5) HAVE BEEN PLACED IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE DUE TO A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL. THIS ISSUE MAY BE RELATED TO THE NEXT COMPLAINT. IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT THIS ON MANY OCCASIONS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER A FILL UP. AND - EVEN THOUGH MY VIN WAS RECALLED IN 2005 AND FIXED - GAS STILL SPRAYS OUT THE FUEL FILLER AND ANY GAS STATION WHEN YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP FULLY. TO GET AROUND THIS - MY VEHICLE CANNOT BE FILLED ALL THE WAY UP. THIS ISSUE IS EASY TO DUPLICATE - BUT MY DEALER STATES THAT THE WORK DONE IN 2005 SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS AND THAT ANY OTHER ISSUE ARE NOT A WARRANTY/RECALL ISSUES. AGAIN - THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $$ TO TEST AND TRY TO FIND AN ANSWER SINCE ACCORDING TO THEM THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO ST STARTED SPEWING FUEL OUT THE FILLER NECK WHEN I'M FILLING THE TANK. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN THE TANK REACHES ABOUT HALF FULL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR ISN'T COVERED UNDER ANY CAMPAIGNS AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS CONDITION IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE FUEL TANK. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RELATED RECALLS OF SIMILAR FAULTS, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR THAT CHRYSLER WON'T STAND BEHIND THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I'M NOW ALWAYS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN I HAVE TO FILL MY GAS TANK. *TR
