I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE AS WELL AS 2 OPEN AND CLOSED INVESTIGATIONS ON THIS WEBSITE! WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IT WILL SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN, STEERING IS IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS POINT. IT USE TO HAPPEN A LOT TO ME. NORMALLY IT WOULD ALWAYS HAPPEN PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. BUT I LIVE IN RURAL WV AND WE HAVE MOUNTAINS AND CURVY ROADS. ONCE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30-35 MPH AND I WAS ON A CURVY ROAD AND IT STALLED OUT ON ME AND I ABOUT WENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN AS I COULD NOT STEER! WE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OVER AND THERE WAS NO WARNING OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. ULTIMATELY HAVE THE MECHANIC PLAYED THE GUESSING GAME, HE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AND THAT HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. JUST RECENTLY IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE REOPENED! MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. MY DURANGO HAS 3 VERY COMMON ISSUES WITH LOTS OF OTHER FOLKS THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED: 1. THE STALLING OF THE VEHICLE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. 2. THE FUEL LEAKING OUT AS YOU ARE FILLING IT WAS GAS! THEY SAY MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WILL NOT PAY TO FIX IT. 3. 4 LOCK KICKS IN ON ITS OWN AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND RECALL. I LOVE MY DURANGO AND I HAVE HAD IT FOR 6 YEARS AS I BOUGHT IT USED AND I AM THE SECOND OWNER. I WOULD LOVE FOR DODGE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. AS I DO NOT WANT TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

WHENEVER I FILL UP MY GAS TANK GAS POURS OUT. I TRY TO LISTEN REAL CLOSE SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AND THEN SOMETIMES EVEN AS I AM TAKING THE PUMP OUT A BUNCH OF GAS WILL COME BACK OUT OF IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I EVEN HAD A GAS ATTENDANT TRY TO TELL ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CLEAN UP. I SEEN WERE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. EVIDENTLY THERE ARE OTHER 05 DODGE DURANGOS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE TANK WITH GASOLINE, THE PUMP HANDLE WILL SHUT DOWN BUT GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILLER OPENING ON THE VEHICLE. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ISSUED IN 2009; HOWEVER, MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL EVEN THOUGH I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. PERHAPS A FIRE CAUSING INJURIES IS NECESSARY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM COVERED BY CHRYSLER. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL IT SPRAYS GASOLINE OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS WHOEVER IS FUELING IT. SEVERAL LIKE MODEL DURANGOS FROM THIS YEAR AND CLOSE TO THE SAME YEAR HAVE HAD RECALLS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IM NOT AT ALL SURE WHY MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BUT IT NEEDS TO BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS OBVIOUS AND WAS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER ERROR.

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE TRANSFER CASE WENT INTO NEUTRAL, ON IT'S OWN, WHILE DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY, WITH NO SHOULDER. IT KIND OF CREATED A TRAFFIC JAM. LONG STORY SHORT. A FRIEND TOWED ME HOME. I RESET THE TRANSFER CASE PER THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL, AND IT WENT BACK INTO GEAR. STILL DO NOT KNOW WHY IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOW, WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOORS, THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR OPERATES LIKE CRAZY, FOR UP TO 30 SECONDS, AND SOME TIMES LONGER. I GOT ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT IS A PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY MANY DURANGO AWD OWNERS. I BOUGHT IT USED AND THE PREVIOUS OWNERS CLAIMED THAT IT NEVER DID IT BEFORE. ALSO, WHEN FILLING THE TANK UP, THE FILLER NECK WILL "PURGE" FUEL OUT ONTO THE GROUND AND YOUR FEET. THIS IS LISTED AS A DEALER RECALL, AND MINE WAS LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN DONE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE GASOLINE TO SPEW FROM THE VEHICLE DURING FILLING. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY FILL UP OF THE VEHICLE AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PREVENT, EVEN ONCE I BECAME AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE GASOLINE EXIST THE VEHICLE WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE THE AMOUNT CAN VARY BUT IS TYPICALLY EQUIVALENT TO ~20 FL OZ. NOT ONLY IS THIS A OBVIOUS FIRE/EXPLOSION RISK, BUT IS ALSO A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL RISK AS THE GASOLINE OFTEN MAKES CONTACT WITH CLOTHES AND SKIN DURING REFUELING. I NOTIFIED DODGE OF THIS ISSUE WAS GIVEN A CASE # HOWEVER WAS NOTIFIED THAT DODGE DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS AN ISSUE AND WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE UNLESS IT IS A RECALL.
