WHEN I AM FILLING UP MY GAS TANK AT A GAS STATION, THE PUMP WILL KICK OFF WHEN FULL AND A FEW SECONDS AFTER YOU CAN HEAR FUEL RUSHING UP THE TUBE AND THEN SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ON THE GROUND. THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO RUST BECAUSE OF THIS AND I HAVE BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE TO FUEL CLEANUP AT A FEW GAS STATIONS. ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED ON SOME VEHICLES BUT SINCE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS NOW. IT HAS A PERSISTENT AND VERY UNSETTLING PROBLEM OF STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH NO CORRESPONDING WARNING LIGHTS ETC. IT JUST DIES AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAIL RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO PATTERN OF ORIGIN EVIDENT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC LANES ACROSS INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAVE UTILIZED FUEL CLEANERS AND CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS ETC. IN A EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT FORTUNATELY..JUST DIED WITHOUT WARNING. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ENGINE PROBLEM COMPLAINT WITH THE DURANGO. TODAY, THIS OCCURRED WITH OVER 3/4 TANK OF FRESH FUEL IN THE TANK. THIS PROBLEM CONSTITUTES AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INITIATES AN INVESTIGATION INTO IT'S CAUSE ( S ) - THANK YOU - RELATED WEBSITE LINK RE: COMMON PROBLEM - HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/2005/ENGINE/STALLING_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML . *TR
