2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE TANK OVERFLOWS AND SPEWS OUT GASOLINE PRIOR TO THE GAS PUMP SHUTTING OFF. THIS OCCURS WHEN MANUALLY DOWN THE TRIGGER ON THE GAS PUMP AND WAITING FOR THE PUMP TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. I DID NOT LOCK THE GAS PUMP TRIGGER INTO PLACE AND WAS NOT ATTEMPTING TO "TOP OFF" THE GAS TANK. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT SOME 2005 DURANGOS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF A SIMILAR ISSUE. MY VEHICLE SHOWS NO RECALLS BUT CLEARLY HAS A SAFETY ISSUE RELATING TO THE GAS TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS REPLACED THE EGR VALVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME WHERE THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHERE THERE WERE SEVERAL REPAIRS MADE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE FELT HOT AND THERE WAS SMOKE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT WAITED FOR THE VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN AND DROVE TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIANS NOTICED THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD MELTED. THE TECHNICIANS REPLACED THE LIFTERS, WIRING HARNESS, INTAKE MANIFOLD AND THE OXYGEN SENSOR. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE WHEN FUEL BEGAN TO SPEW BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER TUBE. THE FAILURE BEGAN AS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT SOON PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD 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 MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT CLOSE AND GAS ALWAYS SPILLS OUT. I AM AFRAID THAT GAS SPILLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. AT TIMES,WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF IF I AM MOVING SLOWLY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2006. THE FIRST YEAR, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR STALLING ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN ABOUT THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVERY TIME, NOTHING WAS RESOLVED. AFTER THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR THE TIME TO CONTINUE BRINGING THE TRUCK IN FOR A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIND. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE JUST DEALT WITH THIS TRUCK STALLING ON ITS OWN. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED SPILLING OUT GAS IF IT WAS FILLED UP. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL UNTIL I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. I CONTACT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN # AND TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS LISTED ON MY PARTICULAR TRUCK. I EXPLAINED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY CAR HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE AND THAT GAS SPILLED OUT. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS AFRAID THAT GAS WAS SPILLING FROM THE TANK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE EXPENSIVE CHARGES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS SINCE I AM PAYING $700 A MONTH FOR A TRUCK THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN FINANCED AT THAT AMOUNT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND IS NOT WORTH THE AMOUNT STILL OWED. *LN THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON-COLLISION ON APRIL 25, 2011 AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALSO, THE REAR WIPER MADE A WHISTLING NOISE. UPDATED 08/12/11

ON 4 OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE TRYING TO TURN ON A INTERSECTION AT A LOW SPEED. ALL FLUIDS ARE IN THE CORRECT LEVELS AND NO FAULT LIGHTS APPEAR. THE VEHICLE DOES START NORMALLY AFTER A SECOND. THE INCIDENTS ARE SPORADIC HOWEVER ARE CONCERNING BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AN MANY HAVE COMPLAINED. THE DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW FAULT CODE. I TRIED CONTACTING DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT IT BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPEW BACK FROM THE FILLER TUBE AND ONTO THE CONTACT.

THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLE IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS LISTED IN RECALL 09V003000 -- AT THE END OF REFUELING, SOME FUEL ESCAPES FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK, WHICH, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. THIS IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE, ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF ESCAPED FUEL VARIED FROM STATION TO STATION. DEALER SUGGESTED MY VEHICLE IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER, AND THEREFORE ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE PAID OUT OF POCKET.

WHEN PUTTING GASOLINE INTO MY TANK, GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.. I ESTIMATE THAT APPROXIMATELY 4-5 CUPS OF GAS END UP ON THE GROUND, ON MY FEET, AND ON MY CLOTHES. IT WILL CONTINUALLY SPEW OUT UNLESS I BARELY DEPRESS THE FILL UP ARM AT THE PUMP. THIS RESULTS IN NOT ONLY GASOLINE OVER THE GROUND AND MYSELF, BUT IT WILL OFTEN TAKE ME ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO FILL MY TANK. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER/DODGE CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL THAT WAS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAME YEAR MODEL. *TR
