MY 05 DURANGO 5.7 HEMI STALLED WITHOUT WARNING TWICE IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ONCE AS I WAS TURNING LEFT. NO POWER STEERING,NO POWER BRAKES,NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, IT WAS VERY SUDDEN AND FIND THIS TO BE DANGEROUS. I HAVE FOUND THAT OTHER DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I THINK IT'S TIME DODGE FIGURES OUT WHAT TO DO BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS. I TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN AND ALSO LIKE TO TRAVEL ALOT AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE NOW. LETS'S HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS ACKNOWLEDGED SOON ENOUGH. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE RPMS WILL JUMP AROUND. THEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR AT A STOP THE ENGINE WILL STALL OUT. THIS HAS USUALLY HAPPENS GOING ABOUT 34-50 MPH AND IT STALLS LEAVING YOU UNABLE TO TURN. VERY DANGEROUS. THEY HAVE REPROGRAMED COMPUTER AND REPLACED THROTTLE POSITIONER. IT HAS OCCURED AROUND 5 TIMES JUST IN THE PAST WEEK. IT STARTED OUT DOING IT ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS NOW IT WILL DO IT WITHIN FEET OF RESTARTING. I HAVE TO STOP, PUT IN PARK, AND RESTART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPEW BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER TUBE, SIMILAR TO THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V426000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY). BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE CONTACTS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. UPDATED 4/01/11*BF THE CONSUMER STATED HE IS ABLE TO PROVIDE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. IT OCCURS ON ALMOST EVERY TIME THE CONSUMER FILLS THE VEHICLE. EACH SPILL OVER FLOWS APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. UPDATED 07/29/11

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, AT LEAST A GALLON SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN IT HAS FINISHED FUELING. THIS COULD EASILY START A FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE PEOPLE. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE STATING THAT IT IS NOT COVERED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER SHE ADDED FUEL TO THE VEHICLE THE TANK WOULD OVERFLOW AND FUEL WOULD SPLASH OUT ON THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS SITUATION CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE SPILLAGE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALLS FOR FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH MANUFACTURER BUT SHE WAS STILL AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SPILLS GAS EVERY TIME WE FILL IT UP. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THREE YEARS. DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF I FIX IT MYSELF, IT WILL COST OVER $700. *TR
