2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK TO THE FULL CAPACITY LEVEL, FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO DEFECTIVE INLET CHECK VALVES. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) YET THE CONTACTS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

GAS SPILLS WHEN PUMPING GAS STARTED AT 98322 MILES. TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. MY DODGE DURANGO DOES WHAT THE RECALL CLAIMS NEEDS REPAIR. VEHICLE AT 126000 AND STILL SPILLS GAS ALL OVER THE CEMENT OF THE GAS STATION. WHAT A DANGEROUS SITUATION! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE AGAIN!! TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND NOW I'M HAVING ANOTHER PROBLEM. THE TCM HAS AN ERROR AND THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TCM. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO BEGAN SPITTING GAS BACK OUT AFTER THE PUMP HAS CLICKED OFF. APPROXIMATELY, 1/2 GALLON IS WASTED, IT ON LANDS ON THE CAR, GROUND AND MYSELF. THIS OCCURS EACH AND EVERY TIME THE CAR IS FUELED. DODGE HAS A RECALL ON THE GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY RECALL FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. I HAVE CALLED DODGE AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT I MUST PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, DEDUCTIBLE AND POSSIBLY A PERCENTAGE OF THE COST. HOWEVER, OTHER 2005 DURANGO'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE WERE CORRECTED/REPAIRED AT DODGE'S EXPENSE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN # [XXX] MANUFACTURED MARCH 2005. EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AT LEAST A PINT TO A QUART SPRAYS OUT WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE SAME PROBLEM AS IN RECALL #NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000. I HAVE TALKED TO DEALERS AND CHRYSLER CORPORATE REPS WHO BLUNTLY TELL ME "NOTHING WE CAN DO..... YOUR'S WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER NOVEMBER 2004. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AND HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. MY FAMILY KNOWS WHO TO FILE SUIT AGAINST IF OR WHEN I GET BURNED UP. INCLUDING NHTSA. OBVIOUSLY DODGE HAS MORE PROBLEMS WITH MORE DURANGOS THAN THEY WANT TO ADMIT TO WITH THE FUEL SPLASH PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 HEMI THAT MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED AT THE END OF MAY 2010. I HAVE ONLY HAD 5 MONTHS AND AFTER THE FIRST MONTH IT STALLED ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. TOOK 3 TIMES UNTIL IT DID START AND STAY STARTED. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY HUSBAND AND 3 KIDS. LUCKILY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD AND WAS ONLY GOING 10 MPH. SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART IT. IT STARTED UP FINE THAT TIME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS IN ANOTHER PARKING LOT AND IT WOULDN'T STAY STARTED WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. TOOK ANOTHER 3 TIMES BEFORE IT DID. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TODAY, OCTOBER 22, 2010. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND TRIED TO TURN TO GO UP THE HILL TO MY STREET WHEN I REALIZED I COULDN'T TURN OR STOP CAUSE MY VEHICLE CUT OFF AGAIN AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL SINCE I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO STOP SINCE I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST. THIS WAS MY LAST STRAW SINCE IF I DO WRECK IT WILL BE MY FAULT AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL OUT ON THIS SITUATION. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT WRONG AND THINKS I AM CRAZY SINCE IT CAN'T BE RECREATED. AFTER SEEING HOW THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE 2005, AS LONG AS THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPORTED AND GOT RECALLED, THAT THIS ISN'T RECALLED. THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS!!!! I HAVE 3 KIDS AND THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND HURT SOMEONE OR EVEN POSSIBLE KILL SOMEONE!!! I DON'T WANT MY KIDS TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING GETS DONE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS AND CALLED CHRYSLER AND REPORTED IT AND I SUGGEST EVERYONE DO THE SAME! CALL 18009921997. IF WE CAN REPORT THIS ENOUGH, MAYBE IT WILL RAISE ATTENTION TO SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING. I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND EVEN MORE FEARFUL FOR MY KIDS TO BE IN IT AND IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE OUR FAMILY CAR. IF I GET IN A WRECK I WILL GET A LAWYER AND I WILL SUE THEM. *TR

GASOLINE SPEWING FROM THE GAS TANK OF MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE BURNS AND/OR SKIN REACTIONS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, NOT JUST A SELECT FEW ACCORDING TO THE VIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO TESTED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WILL BE CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 118,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING A TURN. WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS ENGAGED, THE RIGHT TURN LIGHT FLASHED AS OPPOSED TO THE LEFT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHIFTING THE STEERING COLUMN UP OR DOWN, IT WOULD CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS INITIALLY OCCURRED SPORADICALLY BUT PROGRESSED INTO A FREQUENT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,750 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,846.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT WAS PURCHASED FROM CARS PLUS IN LENOIR, NC IN MARCH 2010. STARTING ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ALL POWER WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN IF YOU START AROUND A TURN OR HIT THE BRAKES. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME YOU TAKE A TURN OR HIT THE BRAKES. IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS IT HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER. YOU HAVE NO BRAKES AND NO POWER STEERING. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER TWICE AND SOMEONE ELSE ONCE. NOTHING PULLS UP ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. DODGE HAS TOLD ME THIS IS MY PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE ABOUT 800 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2005 DURANGOS ON THE COMPUTER, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS OUT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T WANT ANY INJURY TO COME TO MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILDREN. I AM PAYING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE AND DON'T WANT TO TRADE IT IN AND SOMEONE ELSE GET STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY GET INJURED DRIVING IT. I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE OPTIONS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TOLD ME I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND A DEFECT. I DON'T WANT TO TRADE MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND JUST PASS THE PROBLEM ALONG, BUT I NEED A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT TO DO WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2005 DURANGO HAS BEEN SHUTTING COMPLETELY OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE MECHANICS NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE A PROBLEM. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OTHERS AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY SUV WILL SHUT OFF. I HAVE FOUND A WEBSITE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE POSTED EXACTLY THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT I HAVE CONCERNING THEIR DODGE DURANGO'S. THE LINK IS HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/1999/ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE_SHUTS_DOWN_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML. *TR
