I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED BACK IN 2009. I AM IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY AND BOUGHT FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER AND CHECKED HISTORY FOR ANY CRASHES. ALSO NO SIGNS OF ANY BODY REPAIR OR ANYTHING BEING NOT ORIGINAL IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. I LIKE MANY OTHERS CANNOT FILL UP MY FUEL TANK WITHOUT GETTING SPRAYED WITH GASOLINE! ANYTIME THE GAS STATION PUMP IS ALLOWED TO SHUT ITSELF OFF IT SPRAYS AT LEAST A HALF GALLON OF FUEL OUT. THIS IS AT EVERY GAS STATION I HAVE EVER GONE TO. THAT MEANS EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED UP IN THE LAST 2.5 YEARS HAS GIVEN ME THE HAZARD OF A SIGNIFICANT FUEL SPILL! THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IN THE PAST WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIPS THAT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL BUT THAT IT MAY BE EXPANDED AND TO JUST BE PATIENT. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND MANY FORUMS IT IS CLEAR THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS NOT UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. THIS RECALL SHOULD PROBABLY BE REVIEWED AND EXPANDED TO COVER ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 20, 2012
MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED THIS PRE-OWNED VEHICLE 10/29/2011. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME WE FILL THE TANK. THE FUEL HANDLE CLICKS TO SHUT OF THE FLOW OF GASOLINE TO THE TANK, THEN ABOUT A SECOND LATER, THE FUEL BEGINS TO SPEW BACK OUT OF THE TANK, DRAINING DOWN THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, COVERING THE GROUND, AND MYSELF AS I STAND NEARBY. EACH TIME I ESTIMATE BETWEEN 1/4 & 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL IS WASTED. I VERIFIED WITH MY LOCAL CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP 5 STAR DEALER THAT MY VIN ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE LIMITED RECALL FROM YEARS PAST. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS MY WIFE RUNS A HOME DAYCARE AND CHILDREN ARE FREQUENTLY IN THE DURANGO WHERE FUMES ARE PREVELANT AFTER THE SPILL. *TT
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 18, 2012
WHENEVER I FILL THE GAS TANK, GAS COMES POURING BACK OUT AT ME. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK! THERE'S AT LEAST A 1/4 TO 1/2 A GALLON OF GAS THAT COMES POURING OUT. NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS WASTED FUEL I ALSO AM PUTTING SEVERAL PEOPLE AT RISK OF A FIRE EVERY TIME I FILL UP DUE TO THE UNSAFE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM. I EXPECT THAT WHEN I PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE SAFE. DOESN'T CHRYSLER HAVE THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY IN MIND....IF SO, CORRECT THE PROBLEM!

ADD ONE MORE COMPLAINT TO THE OTHERS ABOUT GAS SPEWING OUT WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL, ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AFTER TALKING TO ANOTHER DURANGO OWNER. I HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE BUT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH THE DURANGO. I WILL BE CONTACTING OUR DEALER (AND OTHERS IF NEEDED) TO SEE IF WE QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. HAVE HELD OFF TAKING IT FOR REPAIR AFTER HAVING TO PAY $800 ON A LOCKED UP STEERING WHEEL ON A 3 YR OLD VEHICLE.

WE APPROACHED A LOCAL MENDON, MA DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WERE TOLD "THERE IS NO RECALL AND YOUR CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY".

I HAD MY 2005 DURANGO INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP DUE TO FUEL SHOOTING OUT OF MY GAS TANK WHEN I FILLED IT UP WITH GAS. I WAS TOLD AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT IT WAS A FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE AND THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS QUOTED $1200 TO HAVE THE TANK REPLACED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TANK REPLACEMENT. AFTER MUCH ONLINE RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE ON DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLES FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MY '05 DURANGO VIN DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE 2005 AND 2009 RECALL, BUT THAT OTHER VEHICLES WERE LATER ADDED TO THE 2009 RECALL. THIS IS MY MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND FEEL THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THEREFORE, THEY SHOULD BE THE ONES TO FIX IT AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PROMPT AND IMMEDIATELY ATTENTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR
