I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND WHEN I FILL VEHICLE FULL OF FUEL IT ALWAYS SPILLS OUT IT NEVER SHUTS OFF. FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER. I CAN NOT TELL WHEN IT IS ABOUT FULL AND IT SHOULD ALWAYS DETECT WHEN IT IS FULL AND KICK OFF BUT IT JUST KEEPS GOING OUT ON GROUND AND ALL OVER UNTIL I CAN STOP IT.

IN MY 05 DURANGO, THE 4WD KEEPS CLICKING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. I COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR JUST TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO IN DRIVE, REVERSE, ETC. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION, SPENDING A TON OF UNNECESSARY MONEY WHEN THE WHOLE TIME THE 4WD HAS BEEN STUCK IN NEUTRAL. DODGE KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? APPARENTLY THE SWITCHING INTO 4LO AT HIGH SPEEDS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGES -- EVEN DEATH TO ME OR MY CHILDREN OR OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO????

VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING AN INTERMITTENT "SVC 4WD" LIGHT AND VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT ITSELF INTO LOW 4WD WHILE MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS. HAD IT CHECKED BY DEALER, WHO SAID CODES SHOWED "UNEQUAL TIRE PRESSURE". TIRES WERE WITHIN 1 PSI OF EACH OTHER. DROVE VEHICLE AGAIN, AND CODES SAID "UNEQUAL TIRE SPEED". DEALER ADVISED WE REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES, WHICH WE DID. DURING OUR NEXT TRIP (YESTERDAY), THE "SVC 4WD" LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES, THEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VEHICLE'S TRANSFER CASE HAD SHIFTED ITSELF NEUTRAL, LEAVING VEHICLE STRANDED IN HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER. WHILE STARTING THE CAR TO TRY TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM, IT SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHIFTED ITSELF INTO LOW 4WD AND LURCHED FORWARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE IN VARIOUS DODGE FORUMS, AND HAVE FOUND DOZENS OF SIMILAR CASES WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN VEHICLES STRANDED IN THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. SEVERAL DODGE DEALERS EVIDENTLY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, REPLACING ALL POSSIBLE PARTS ONLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE RECUR WITHIN DAYS. THERE ARE OTHERS WHO SAY THEY HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS HERE AND URGE US WHO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM DEMAND A RECALL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND FORCE DODGE TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY FLAW THAT COULD EASILY CAUSE A LOSS OF LIFE ACCIDENT.

I AM MAKING A COMPLAINT THAT CHRYSLER DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL BASED ON NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 09V003000. I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS HAD A DEFECTIVE INLET CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK THAT HAS ALLOWED GAS TO FLOW BACK UP THE FILL LINE DURING FILLING OF THE TANK. I HAD QUESTIONED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN THE PASSED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IN VEHICLES OF THE YEAR OF MY VEHICLE, BUT I WAS TOLD THIS ISSUE DID NOT PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE SINCE THIS ISSUE WAS REMEDIED ON VEHICLES MADE AFTER 01 OCTOBER OF THAT YEAR. I TOLD THEM MINE WAS STILL HAVING THE PROBLEMS LISTED. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NUMBER 09V003000, CHRYSLER WAS SUPPOSED TO RECALL THE VEHICLES BUILT UP TO 11/30 OF THAT YEAR. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT TODAY THIS DID NOT OCCUR, THEY PLACED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE. SO INSTEAD OF INFORMING DEALERSHIPS AND OWNERS OF THE ISSUE, THEY WOULD ONLY FIX IT IF THE OWNERS HAD THE ISSUE OF THE CHECK VALVE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WELL, I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FOR ALMOST THE WHOLE TIME I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE(11/17/08), AND I'VE BROUGHT IT UP TO THE LOCAL SERVICE SHOP A FEW TIMES, AND I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THERE WAS NO LISTING OF MY VEHICLE REQUIRING THE REPAIR TO BE DONE. THIS IS QUITE FRUSTRATING BECAUSE FOR YEARS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL MY GAS TANK UP COMPLETELY DUE TO FUEL COMING BACK UP THE TUBE AND SPRAYING ALL OVER MY CLOTHES. ONCE I TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE WITH CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE NHTSA NUMBER TODAY I WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PART, THEY SAID THE IDENTIFIER WAS (X48). AFTERWARDS I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE HAD THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING RELATING TO X48 EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY VEHICLE.
