Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 10, 2015
I WENT TO FILL MY TANK UP ON SATURDAY MARCH 7TH 2015. I JUST PURCHASE THE VEHICLE THAT DAY. GAS STARTED SPURTING OUT OF THE TANK AND GOT ALL OVER MY HANDS. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT FOR A DRIVE ON SUNDAY MORNING WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND I ALMOST ROLLED BACK ON THE CAR BEHIND MEN. THIS HAPPENS TWO MORE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THEN TODAY TUESDAY MARCH 10TH I DROVE TO MY PARENTS AND NOTICED THE CAR SPUTTERING UPON GRADUAL ACCELERATION. *TR

Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 23, 2015
ON ANY NUMBER OF OCCASIONS (REGARDLESS OF OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE OR WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE) WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT A SLOW SPEED (IN FORWARD OR REVERSE) THE ENGINE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING. WITH THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER COMES THE NORMAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. IT APPEARS TO BE MOST FREQUENT WHEN PULLING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING LOT, STOP SIGN, ETC. THE SLOW SPEEDS ARE NOT INHERENTLY DANGEROUS, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT STALLING WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY REDUCING SPEED OR STOPPING PUTS MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORIST IN JEOPARDY. WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES CREATE A RISK OF MINOR DAMAGE TO OTHER PARKED CARS AND COULD PUT A PEDESTRIAN AT RISK WHILE BEING DISTRACTED AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP OR STEER AS EASILY. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS SOUNDS OR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION NOISES OR VIBRATIONS OR ANYTHING TO GIVE WARNING THAT THIS COULD OCCUR. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING AND WHEN I DID A RECALL SEARCH AN AIRBAG RECALL DID COME UP BUT THERE IS NO FIX? ALSO WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK I GET MAJOR SPLASH BACK. HUGE FIRE ISSUE. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME 2005 DODGE DURANGOS FOR THAT PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND WOULDN'T FIX IT. HOW CAN I GET MY VIN INCLUDED? ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND READS CODE P0456(VERY SMALL EMISSIONS LEAK)..BUT THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM HAS BEEN GONE OVER AND GONE OVER BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT WOULD INDICATE A LEAK. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 05 DURANGO BACK IN MAY OF 05 AND I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL THREE OF THE MAJOR COMPLAINTS, THE FUEL SPEWING OUT, THE STALLING, AND THE 4X4 ACTIVATING! THE FUEL THING I ALWAYS NOTICED BUT ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENED. THE 4X4 ENGAGING HAPPENED WHEN IT STILL HAD THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE GOOD THING IS THAT THEY FIXED IT, THE BAD THING IS THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY! THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACED THE 4X4 CONTROL MODULE AND I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE THEN! I'M NOT POSITIVE IF THAT'S THE NAME OF THE MODULE. THIS WAS BACK IN 2008 AND I HAVEN'T HAD THAT PROBLEM SINCE THEN. HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS SOME THAT ARE DEALING WITH THAT SAME ISSUE! THE STALLING HAPPENS HERE AND THERE, NOT TOO OFTEN AND USUALLY WHEN I'M AT A STOP SIGN. I LOVE MY DURANGO, JUST HATE THE WAY DODGE IS JUST LEAVING ALL ITS CUSTOMERS ON THEIR OWN WHEN THERE SHOULD BE RECALLS FOR ALL THESE ISSUES!! ACTING LIKE THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THOSE PROBLEMS WHEN EVERY OWNER HAS THE SAME ISSUES! ILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN! AND IT SUCKS BECAUSE IM LOOKING INTO BUYING A NEW CAR, AND I LIKE THE NEW DURANGO. BUT THERE'S NO WAY I'LL BUY DODGE, OR CHRYSLER FOR THAT MATTER! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANKS WHEN I GO TO FILL UP IT SPEWS GAS BACK OUT AT ME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED ABOUT 3 YRS AGO CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MINE IS NOT A PART OF THE 2 RECALLS THAT THEY HAVE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE SO IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN TO THEM. WE HAD THE ORIGINAL TANK REPLACED WITHIN A FEW MTHS AND HAD TO TAKE IT BACK IMMEDIATELY FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. AFTER THAT IT WORKED WELL FOR THE PAST 2.5 YRS AND NOW I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE TANK AGAIN. I BOUGHT THIS NEEDED A BIG VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD BE HAVING TO REPLACE TANK ASSEMBLIES EVERY FEW YRS FOR AN ISSUE THAT THE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND AS I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN MY TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN. I HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKE FOR IT TO STOP AND I CAN THEN PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN THE KEY TO TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN OF THE AGE OF 1 & 2. HAVING THEM IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS NERVE WRECKING. IT'S HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. I HAVE ASKED MECHANICS IN REGARDS TO THIS AND HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IT IS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THAT IT DID THE SAME NOT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN HE TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER, THEY COULDN'T TELL HIM WHAT IT WAS EITHER. MY LAST (MOST RECENT) INCIDENT WAS ON 5/10/14 - THE CAR SHUT OFF FOUR TIMES THAT DAY. 2 HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, ONE HAPPENED AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PARK AND ONE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TURNING AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURNING LANE WHILE MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS WITH MY FUEL TANK. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK BECAUSE WHEN I DO ... IT SPITS OUT GAS. ALSO, I'VE HAD TO SWITCH OUT MY IL PRESSURE SWITCH TWICE SINCE FEBRUARY 2014. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHY IT'S DOING THAT. *TR

JUST PURCHASED MY 2005 DURANGO 5.7 HEMI LIMITED USED AT THE END OF 2013. HAVE HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. AFTER HAVING IT FOR A MONTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY MY DURANGO STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 40-45 MILES AN HOUR IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO!! I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BAD GAS BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. BUT IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING ABOUT 10 TIMES. MY FRIEND HOOKED IT UP TO HIS CODE READER AND IT SAID MY EGR VALVE NEEDS REPLACED. BUT NOW I'M SEEING ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS ON HERE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND I'M QUITE WORRIED. I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK. I CAN'T FILL UP MY TANK OR THE GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT EVERYWHERE!! I NOTICED THERE IS NO METAL PIECE THAT CLOSES OFF WHEN YOU PULL THE NOZZLE OUT. ALSO MY IN DASH NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM/CD PLAYER/RADIO QUIT WORKING. SCREEN ON IN DASH CONSOLE IS JUST LINES. NOW MY BLUE TOOTH IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. HAVE TO CLOSE THE REAR HATCH TWICE FOR CARGO LIGHT WARNING ON DASH TO GO OUT. CHARGER PORT IN FRONT PANEL STOPPED WORKING ON THE SECOND DAY I OWNED IT. SEEMS AS IF THERE ARE SOME MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES HERE!! I OWNED A DODGE DAKOTA YEARS AGO AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT!! I'M REALLY SURPRISED AT THE FACT THAT DODGE IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THESE ISSUES. I WILL BE CONTACTING A DEALER FOR THE RECALL ISSUES AND WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES, ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE READ MORE THAN ONE COMPLAINT ON HERE THAT THE DEALERSHIPS AREN'T HONORING THE RECALLS.

THE FIRST OWNER WARNED ME OF THIS BEFORE HAND. HE SAID IT HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS AND NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID "MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL." THE RECALL WAS FOR THE CHECK VALVE. THEY ALSO SAID "BRING IT IN TO A DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT." I ASKED IF THEY WOULD FIX IT AT THEIR COST. THEY SAID "THERE IS NO GUARANTY."

MY VEHICLE HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON (MIL), AND WAS INSPECTED FOR MASS STATE INSPECTION. IT FAILED DUE TO EMISSIONS. THE ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED A EVAP LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO A LOCAL SERVICE STATION FOR THE ISSUE, AND I WAS ADVISED THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THAT THE TOP WAS CORRODED (PLASTIC). THE SERVICE SHOP THOUGHT IT WAS ODD AS THE VEHICLE WAS MAINTAINED PROPERLY, LOW MILEAGE, AND NEVER SAW THE PLASTIC JUST CRUMBLE LIKE THIS. THEY HELD ONTO THE ORIGINAL CHRYSLER FUEL PUMP FOR A WHILE AND THEN DISCARDED IT. ONCE REPAIR COMPLETED, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO BUCK (PULLING). IT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO SERVICE SHOP, AND NO CODE WAS AVAILABLE, BUT WAS TOLD COMPUTER NEEDED TO CATCH UP AS IT WAS CLEARED AT TIME OF REPAIR DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING DISCONNECTED. A WEEK PASSED VEHICLE STILL BUCKING. BROUGHT TO DEALER, KELLY CHRYSLER JEEP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE AND INSPECTED NEW FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT FOR FAULTY WORKMANSHIP AND FOUND NOTHING. DROVE TRUCK, AND STILL BUCKING. BROUGHT TO ANOTHER LOCAL SERVICE STATION, AND THEY REPLACED TWO SENSORS, CRANK SHAFT, AND EGR. BUCKING STOPPED, BUT ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. INSPECTED AGAIN, AND STATES EVAP LEAK. LOCAL SERVICE DOES NOT HAVE SMOKE MACHINE, SO TRUCK WENT TO THE DEALER, KELLY CHRYSLER AND FOR RECALL ON INLET VALVE. UPON INSPECTION, TOP OF WHOLE FUEL TANK CORRODED AS WELL AS THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN. FIRE HAZARD! PROBLEMS ALL CONNECTED TO FUEL SYSTEM. THE INLET VALVE CAUSED THE FUEL TO SPILL OVER AND UNDER THE REAR LEFT OF THE TRUCK CAUSING CORROSION TO THE PAINT, AND THE TOP OF THE TANK AND FUEL PUMP. THIS IS THE 2ND FUEL PUMP IN 2 YEARS??? IT TOOK CHRYSLER 8 YEARS TO ADVISE ME OF THE RECALL FOR THE INLET VALVE AND NOW THERE IS ALL THIS ENSUING DAMAGE AS A RESULT BESIDES THE FIRE HAZARD AND THE FUMES THAT ROSE UP IN THE TRUCK BODY. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES! *TR

TODAY (4/8/13), WE CONTACTED AND SPOKE TO OUR DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS INDEED A RECALL IN 2009 AND APPARENTLY OUR VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THAT THERE WERE NO EXTENSIONS. WE ARE JUST IN AWE, THAT A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND SOMETHING THIS DANGEROUS WOULD NOT CONTINUE HAVE AN EXTENSION UNDER THE RECALL.
