TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN INSERTING FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK THE GASOLINE WILL REGURGITATE. ALSO THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL DISPLAYS INACCURATE READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. ALTHOUGH HE EXPERIENCED IDENTICAL FAILURE, HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 64,841. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.

BOUGHT A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND CHECKING RECALLS FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH REFUEL OVERFILLING WAS RECALLED. I CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER I COULD CHANGE IT FOR A CHARGE. EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP, I MUST WATCH AND STOP IT BEFORE IT IS FULL OR GAS SPURTS OUT ALL OVER THE AREA. THIS IS DEFINITELY A FIRE HAZARD. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS BEING RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. HE RECEIVED RECALL CAMPAIGN NOTICE NUMBER 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR REPAIR. HOWEVER, THE RECALL REMEDY WAS NOT PERFORMED DUE TO THE UNAVAILABILITY OF THE PART REQUIRED FOR THE REPAIR. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS REGARDING THE PART BEING ON BACK ORDER. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

RELATED TO NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 09V003000, NHTSA RQ08005... MY DODGE DURANGO - EXACTLY SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED YET APPARENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

THIS IS REGARDING THE LATEST SAFETY RECALL NOTICE H45 TO MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SUV TO THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. SINCE RECEIVING THIS NOTICE I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO DODGE DEALER IN MOUNT AIRY, MARYLAND, A TOTAL OF SIX TIMES, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE VISITS TO ORDER PARTS AND RETURN WHEN THE PART WAS RECEIVED, APPROXIMATELY TWELVE TIME, I'VE BEEN TO THIS DEALER. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT TRYING TO WORK WITH DODGE, BUT I AM LOSING PATIENCE, AS WELL AS ANY CONFIDENCE IN CHRYSLERS STATEMENT 'WE'RE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE, BUT WE ARE SINCERELY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY' AS STATED IN THEIR NOTICE. EACH TIME THEY HAVE WORKED ON MY CAR, AND I FILL THE TANK, IT CONTINUES TO SPEW GAS ALL OVER ME, MY CAR, THE GROUND, UNTIL ONE DAY GIVEN THE SITUATION, GAS FUMES IGNITING AND STARTING A CRITICAL MISHAP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS, ON MY BEHALF. AFTER MY THIRD VISIT, I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 800-853-1403, WITH MY FRUSTRATIONS, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AND I NEEDED TO WORK WITH MY DEALER IN MT. AIRY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS LATEST VISIT, OCTOBER 19, 2009, WHERE THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED THE ENTIRE TANK, HAS LEFT ME WITH ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON IF FUEL IS BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK (WHICH HAS NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE) AND THE ODOMETER STATEMENT (WHERE THE NUMBERS ARE) READS 'GASCAP', EVEN THOUGH I REPLACE THE GAS CAP NO DIFFERENTLY THAN I HAVE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AS WELL AS ANYONE THAT HAPPENS TO BE AROUND ME AT THE TIME OF FILL-UP. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO AT THIS POINT. I AM SPEAKING WITH AN ATTORNEY, BUT DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO GO THIS ROUTE. YOUR PROMPT REPLY IS REQUESTED. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER NECK EVERY TIME I TRY TO FUEL UP NO MATTER WHAT STATION OR HOW SLOWLY I TRY TO FILL. I GET GASOLINE ALL OVER MY VEHICLE, MYSELF, AND THE GROUND. DODGE DEALER TOLD ME IT NEEDS A FUEL TANK REPLACED AT $750. I FIND A RECALL ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR 2005 DURANGOS, BUT THEY TELL ME IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MINE. SAME PROBLEM, SAME VEHICLE - ARE THEY YANKING MY CHAIN? *TR

CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED 2005 DURANGO'S MADE DURING A CERTAIN TIME FOR FUEL COMPONENT FAILURES. (RECALL ID # 09V003000) EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER STATES THAT MY PROBLEM IS A RESULT OF COMPONENT FAILURE AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN ANY WAY IN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER WILL NOT ASSIST ME EXCEPT TO OFFER ME A 20% DISCOUNT ON PARTS AND LABOR. MY SON-IN-LAW'S 2005 DODGE TRUCK ALSO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS WELL AS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN PURCHASED BY A FRIEND OF MINE. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS WAY MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO ADMIT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I AUTO FILL MY GAS TANK, WHEN THE AUTO SHUT OFF KICKS IN, GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE TANK, RUNS DOWN THE CAR AND PUDDLES ON THE GROUND. I HAVE TAKEN A VIDEO OF THIS AND WILL BE POSTING IT TO YOUTUBE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY OF THE VIDEO, PLEASE CONTACT ME. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ROUGHLY 2 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR

DAIMLERCHRYSLER PUT A RECALL ON 26,000 VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINT.

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO LAST WEEK. EACH TIME I'VE TRIED TO PUT GAS INTO IT, IT SPITS IT RIGHT BACK UP. IN ORDER TO PUT $20 WORTH OF GAS IN, I HAVE TO PUMP AND LET GO ABOUT 20 TIMES (ABOUT EVERY DOLLAR INTEVAL) AND EVEN THEN, SOME GAS SQUIRTS OUT OR ATLEAST GURGLES AROUND THE OPENING WHEN I PULL THE NOZZLE OUT. I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ONLINE AND HAD A NEW GAS TANK PUT IN TODAY, FREE OF CHARGE OF COURSE. THE PROBLEM IS AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND TRIED TO PUT GAS IN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED - MAYBE EVEN WORSE. THE PUMP NOW CUTS ME OFF EVERY 2-3 SECONDS. IT TAKES FOREVER!!!! I WENT BACK AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS JUST FOR THE TANK AND IT'S "PROBABLY" A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL FILLER TUBE???? HE QUOTED ME 264 + TAX JUST FOR THE PARTS OF SOMETHING THAT IS "PROBABLY" THE CAUSE. SHOULD THE FILLER TUBE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL? I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. OH YEAH, MOST PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAINT SAY THAT THE FUEL SPITS BACK WHEN THEIR TANK IS FULL. WELL IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GAS MY DURANGO HAS IN IT. EVEN IF I HAVE LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THIS IS DAMAGING THE PAINT SINCE THE GAS IS CONSTANTLY RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
