I PURCHASED A DODGE DURANGO IN 2007. AT THE TIME THE CAR HAD 24000 MILES. AROUND 2009 THE CAR WHEN I FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS AND REMOVED THE PUMP HANDLE FROM THE DURANGO THE GAS WOULD OVERFLOW ALL OVER. SO IN 2009 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NORTH FLORIDA AVE. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS FOR THIS CAR. AT THIS POINT THE CAR HAD 29,000 MILES. UP TO THIS DATE I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2010, 2011, AND 2012 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY STILL TELL ME THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. SO I DECIDED TO LOOK ONLINE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS A LOT OF 2005 DURANGO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THIS CAR HAS STALLED MULTIPLE OF TIMES, WITH NO LIGHTS, NO WARNING OF IT GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BOB BOYD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR 6 YEARS AGO. IT NOW HAS AROUND 80000 MILES ON IT AND IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, IT HAS STARTED TO GET WORSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING WITH IT UNTIL THE CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT THERE, IT WAS 1 YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AS THEY SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WAS TILL THE YEAR AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN. THIS TIME MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THEM TWICE NOW AND THEY GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER, THAT THEY CANT FIX IT TILL IT BREAKS, THEY HAVE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN FIX IT, MEANWHILE, I HAVE A CAR THAT'S NOT WORKING RIGHT AND VERY DANGEROUS. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS THE FIRST TIME, AND THEN TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AFTER IT STALLED DRIVING IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND TIME, THEY KEPT IT FOR OVER A WEEK, STILL, THEY SAY THEY CANT FIX IT CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. YOU CAN GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS WIDE SPREAD ACROSS THIS COUNTRY, OTHER DODGE PRODUCTS ARE DOING THE SAME THING AND THE DEALERSHIPS AREN'T DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT. PLEASE CONTACT THESE PEOPLE AND GIVE US CONSUMERS A FIGHTING CHANCE IN GETTING THIS FIXED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE PRODUCT AFTER THIS.

FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED COMING INTO A TURN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MOST DURANGO OWNERS HAD LUCK WITH FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING AND/OR EGR VALVE REPLACEMENTS. I DID BOTH, AND THE VEHICLE RAN FINE UP UNTIL TODAY (2 MONTHS LATER). THERE WERE PREVIOUS "INVESTIGATIONS" FOR RECALL SERVICES A FEW YEARS BACK, BUT THEY WERE CLOSED OUT. I HOPE DODGE DECIDES TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AGAIN.. I DO NOT WANT TO BE PAYING $200 EVERY 2 MONTHS FOR FUEL CLEANING SERVICES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR
