2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT OF MY FUEL TANK. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS STATION NOZZLE, BUT REALIZED THAT AFTER USING SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. AFTER COMPLETING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I SAW THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAME COMPLAINT. I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN ON MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I ASKED FOR MY NEXT STEPS, AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I DID, AND WAS TOLD I COULD PAY THE $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. BUT, I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY "SEVERAL" HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, GAS SPEWED ALL OVER MY HANDS AND FEET. SO, AFTER CLEANING MYSELF UP THE BEST I COULD, I DROVE HOME SMELLING GAS FUMES. I HAVE TO LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AND LOOK AT THE GALLONS ON THE FUEL PUMP TO DETERMINE WHEN I NEED TO STOP ADDING FUEL. I THEN GO TURN THE KEY TO SEE HOW FULL THE TANK IS. I THEN PROCEED AGAIN WITH THE SAME STEPS UNTIL I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH GAS OR AT TIMES, GAS COMES SPEWING OUT. I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF AN INJURY THAT COULD OCCUR TO MY EYES IF GAS GOT IN THEM DUE TO ME LISTENING SO CLOSELY FOR THE SOUND OF A "FULL" TANK. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN WHICH THE VIN NUMBER WASN'T COVERED, AND I THINK THIS IS LUDICROUS, IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. WILL IT TAKE THE ACTIONS OF MY LAWYER TO GET THIS RESOLVED?

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE THE FUEL TANK WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FULL. THE FAILURE CAUSED GASOLINE TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE BUT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

2005 DODGE DURANGO SPILLS FUEL WHEN FINISHING FILLING THE TANK. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT DODGE WILL ONLY INCLUDE CERTAIN VINS IN THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE IS AFFECTED WITH DIFFERENT VINS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. *TR

FUEL SPLASHES UP THE FILLER WHEN REFUELING - STARTED IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND HAS OCCURRED ON LAST 4 FILL-UPS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHENEVER DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK TO THE FULL CAPACITY, THE FUEL WOULD ABRUPTLY SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

AT THE COMPLETION OF FUELING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, THE FUEL PUMP WILL SHUT OFF, THEN 1-2 SECONDS LATER APPROXIMATELY 1 CUP OF FUEL WILL SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. IT HAS OCCURRED 4 TIME OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS (EACH TIME I FILL UP). WHILE RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I CAME ACROSS NHTSA ACTION NUMBER RQ08005, AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER (CASE #20241304) WHO TOLD ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO DELRAY MOTORS TO EVALUATE. THEY REPLACED THE FILLER PIPE, CHARGED ME $403.21, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. AFTER RETURNING THE CAR TO DELRAY MOTORS, THEY HAVE MADE VARIOUS ACCUSATION REGARD ME NOT REPRESENT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS COMPLETED IN AUGUST OF 2005 (WHICH WAS NEVER DONE). HOW DO I GET DODGE/CHRYSLER TO HONOR THIS RECALL? *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 5.7 LITER V8. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 43,100 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. AS OF RIGHT NOW, EVERYTME I FILL UP MY CAR, THE PUMP WILL CLICK OFF AND THEN GAS WILL START SPRAYING OUT OF THE GAS TANK. IT HAS RECENTLY HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN A ROW WITHOUT FAIL. IT APPEARS IT'S SEVERAL CUPS OF GAS THAT SPRAYS OUT. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I AM CLEAR OF THE GAS TANK PIPE OR I WILL BE COVERED IN GAS. I CONTACTED DODGE WITH THE ISSUE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND LEARNED THAT THERE WERE TWO RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THERE ARE STILL MORE OF THESE DANGEROUS ISSUES HAPPENING. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

MY DURANGO WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IT NORMALLY DOES THIS AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS COMING UP ON A STOP SIGN OR DOING A 3 POINT TURN. WHEN IT STALLS YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. *TR

FUEL POURS OUT OF THE FUEL PORT DURING REFUELING. THE FUEL TANK DOESN'T TRIGGER THE SHUT OFF OF THE FUEL. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK AT LOW SPEEDS, WHILE BRAKING, TURNING, PARKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CURVES, SENDING US INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC SINCE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A SCHOOL PARKING LOT SEVERAL TIMES, CREATING A HAZARD. NO PARTICULAR DATE, AS MANY INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. TAKEN IT IN TO DODGE TWICE FOR SERVICE AND THEY TELL US THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE WRONG AS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE. WE WANT THIS FIXED. WE LIKE THE TRUCK OTHERWISE. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE FELT COMPLETELY SAFE IN IT, BUT THIS IS HARD TO DO WHEN IT STALLS WITH NO WARNING. *TR
