Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 6, 2013
MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAD THE COMPLETED RECALL H45 WORKED DONE ON 4/27/2009. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE GAS TANK PER THE H45 RECALL. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP CONSIDERS THE MATTER CLOSED BUT THE ISSUE HAS NOW OCCURRED WITH THIS NEW INSTALLED TANK. THE VEHICLE HAD 28,994 MILES WHEN THIS WORK WAS DONE. NOW THE VEHICLE HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURS WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK UP. UPON SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP, FUEL WILL SPIT UP OUT OF THE INLET FUEL TUBE AND LEAVE FUEL ON THE SIDE OF MY SUV AND LEAVE A PUDDLE OF FUEL BELOW THE CAR. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE ASAP DUE TO THE FACT THAT RECALL H45 WAS COMPLETED ON THIS VEHICLE BUT PROBLEM IS OCCURING AGAIN. UNDER THE RECALL H45 THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE INLET FUEL CHECK VALVE? WAS THE TANK INLET CHECK VALVE REPLACED WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED? WAS THE FUEL TANK REPLACED ON MY SUV A NEWER UNIT THAT PASSED ALL SAFETY CHECKS OR DID I GET AN OLDER UNIT THAT STILL HAD THE ISSUES WITH THE INLET CHECK VALVE FAILING? THIS ISSUES NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION TO MEET THE SAFETY RECALL H45 COMPLETED WORK DONE BY THE DEALER AND TO HELP OTHERS THAT MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OCCURING ONCE AGAIN WITH THERE DURANGOS UNDER THIS RECALL. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 29, 2013
EACH TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL IT SPITS BACK UP THROUGH THE FILLER TUBE AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PUMP THEN SHUTS OFF. I HAVE NOTIFIED TWO FUEL STATIONS OF THIS AT THE TIME I FILLED THE VEHICLE THINKING IT MIGHT BE A PUMP PROBLEM, BUT I RESEARCHED AND MANY VEHICLES OF THIS MODEL HAVE REPORTED THIS TO BE A PROBLEM. THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF FILL UP AND THERE AFTER. ACTIVE RECALLS DO NOT APPEAR TO COVER MY VEHICLE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THERE AND OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. MY DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *TR

Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 5, 2013
I RECEIVED A LETTER RECENTLY FROM MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER INDICATING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WOULD REQUIRE REPAIR FOR SOMETHING CAUSING THE FUEL TO SPILL OUT DURING FILL UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST AS I WAS UNAWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS. AFTER RECEIVING THIS LETTER A FEW WEEKS AGO I INSPECTED THE QUARTER PANEL UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK MORE CLOSELY NOTICING BUBBLING OF THE PAINT WITH CHIPPING STARTING. PRESSING ON THE PAINT IT SOUNDED CORROSIVE LIKE RUST. AS I BEGAN TO CHIP SOME OF THE PAINT AWAY I DISCOVERED RUST AND TWO HOLES THAT WERE COMPLETELY THROUGH. LOOKING THROUGH THE HOLES I COULD SEE RUST BEHIND THE BODY. AFTER REVIEWING SEVERAL CAR AND DODGE FORUMS I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE SAME AREA OF THE DRIVE QUARTER PANEL. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FUEL PROBLEM AND THE RUST THAT APPEARS TO HAVE COME INSIDE OUT TO THE BODY OF THE CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER RUST ON THIS CAR AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL ON THE INLET VALVE IS STILL VALID HOWEVER RUST WOULD NOT BE. IT CONCERNS ME THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THEIR DEFECTIVE ITEM. HOW COULD I HAVE KNOW THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING SINCE I JUST RECEIVED NOTIFICATION I'M CONCERNED THE RUST DAMAGE IS MORE GREAT THAN I CAN ACTUALLY SEE. OF COURSE I'M ADDITIONALLY CONCERNED WITH POSSIBLE FIRE ETC WHICH IS WHAT THE RECALL SPECIFICALLY INDICATES. I WILL MAKE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OF THE FUEL INLET VALVE.I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO ALSO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED BY THEIR DEFECTIVE PART. I HAVE 99,200 MILES CURRENTLY. I DON'T WANT MY CONCERNS TO BE DISMISSED AS I FEEL I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I ONLY RECEIVED A LETTER RECENTLY FOR THIS PROBLEM SO I FEEL ALL PARTS OF THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND RECENTLY IN DECEMBER 2012 IT STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO PUT GAS IN IT. THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THE THE GAS STARTS TO SPEW BACK OUT NOT ONLY DOES IT GO ON THE CAR IT ACTUALLY EVEN REACHES YOU. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR DURANGO BUT I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED. SINCE THIS PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT OVER 3,000 PEOPLE ALSO HAVE COMPLAINED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THEY SAY IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE NHTSA WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE AND DEMAND THERE BE MORE RECALLS DONE AND HONORED FREE OF CHARGE. A LIFE IS A LIFE AND CANT BELIEVE ANYONE WOULD TAKE A CHANCE WITH IT. *TR

FUEL SPRAYED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE DURANGO AND ON TO MY CLOTHES AND SHOES. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE DANGERS THAT ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SPILLING. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT IS THE CHECK VALVE INSIDE MY GAS TANK. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TANK AND FEEL IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DODGE TO PAY FOR THIS. THEY HAVE TOLD ME I AM NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BUT I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK THE PUMP WILL STOP BUT AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF GAS WILL OVERFLOW. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS MUST BE ENTERED BEFORE SOMEONE TAKES ACTION OR ARE MANUFACTURERS WAITING FOR A CATASTROPHIC MISHAP TO GET THEIR ATTENTION.
