2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS HE REFUELED THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE BEGAN SPEWING BACK FROM THE FILLER TUBE ONCE THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE STATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000. UPDATED 05/03/11*LJ UPDATED 7/08/11

ON 03-08-2011 WHILE PUTTING FUEL INTO MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO I WAS SOAKED IN GAS AT THE END OF THE FUELING. MY WIFE ADVISED ME THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, SOME FUEL ESCAPING THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING AND SPRAYING PERSONS FUELING THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS SPILLING ON THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. I CHECKED WITH NHTSA AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE 2 RECALLS ON 2005 DODGE DURANGO FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 09V003000 AND 05V034000). PER INSRUCTIONS ON THOSE RECALL SUMMARIES I'VE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403 ON 03-09-2011. I'VE ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALLS ON THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS MY VEHICLE. CHRYSLER ASSIGNED ME A CASE NUMBER 20513614 AND A CASE MANAGER IDENTIFIED AS ROSIE WITH PHONE NUMBER 1-800-763-8422, EXT. 66049. THIS CASE MANAGER SAID THAT WHILE 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE FUEL SPILLING AT THE END OF REFUELING, MY VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT VIN NUMBER TO BE RECALLED. THE CASE MANAGER TOLD ME TO SET AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DODGE DEALER, STEVE WHITE DODGE IN HICKORY, NC, TO SEE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE FUEL SPILL. ON 03/15/2001 MY VEHICLE WAS CHECKED AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THIS DODGE DEALER THAT THE FUEL DOES ESCAPE AT THE END OF THE FUELING AND FITS THE DESCRIPTION ON NHTSA RECALLS 09V003000 AND 05V034000. HOWEVER, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY MYSELF FOR THE REPAIR SINCE MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH. I'VE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CASE MANAGER. I'VE ASKED HER SPECIFICALLY IF THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE MATCHES THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE CASE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT WAS THE SAME SAME PROBLEM, SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR, BUT NOT THE RIGHT VIN. SHE OFFERED TO REIMBURSE ONLY $140 FROM MY REPAIR BILL. CHRYSLER SHOULD REIMBURSE THE WHOLE REPAIR BILL, SINCE THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FUEL SPILLED FROM THE GAS TANK OPENING DURING THE END OF MY REGULAR FILL-UPS. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE PUMP BUT NONE OF THE OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD THAT PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES. I WILL BE CALLING THE MANUFACTURER CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND PRAY FOR A RESOLUTION I WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN [XXX]. WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL OVER FLOWS ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND AT THE END OF THE FUELING PROCESS EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE TANK. MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE STATION AND PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT. IN ADDITION, THEY WOULD NOT GUARANTEE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, ONLY THE POSSIBILITY OF HELPING WITH PAYMENT. FELT THIS WAS UNSATISFACTORY DUE TO DODGE ALREADY RECALLING SOME 2005 DODGE DURANGOS AND THE APPARENT CONTINUATION OF THIS PROBLEM OUTSIDE OF THE ACCEPTABLE VIN NUMBER RANGE. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. I AM UNABLE TO FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE AND COULD ONLY REFUEL WITH SMALL AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE AT A TIME.
