ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO IT STARTING SPILLING GAS WHEN I TRY AN FILL IT UP, I KEEP CHECKING RECALLS BUT NOTHING FOR MY VEHICLE AND RESEARCHING OTHERS THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT ONLY CERTAIN 05 DURANGOS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX MYSELF SO I HAVE TO MONITOR HOW MUCH GAS TO PUT IN, AT $4.00 A GALLON I DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT ON THE GROUND. IT WOULD BE NICE FOR TRIPS TO FILL IT UP TO MONITOR MILES PER GALLON AND TO GET THE MOST MILES WITHOUT STOPPING MORE OFTEN. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, WHY CAN'T ALL THESE VEHICLES BE RECALLED, IT IS DEFIANTLY A PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL WOULD LEAK ONTO THE GROUND WHILE FUELING. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,200. UPDATED 02/22/12 *BF UPDATED 03/01/12

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK GAS WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND PERSON ONCE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN FULL. CONFIRMED BY DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT THE FILLER VALUE IN THE NECK IS MALFUNCTIONING. RESEARCHED AND FOUND RECALLS ON CERTAIN 2005 VINS AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON 2006-2008 MODELS. MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED AND DODGE WILL NOT SUPPORT THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR. *TR

GAS OVERFLOWS AND EJECTS WHEN FUELING. WHEN THE AUTO SHUT-OFF OF THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE TRIGGERS, A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUEL IS EXPELLED FROM THE FILLER AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A REPORTED ISSUE COVERING MANY MAKES AND MODEL YEARS OF DODGE VEHICLES. WHEN CONTACTING A DODGE REPRESENTATIVE, SHE INDICATED THAT THE WARRANTY HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED OR DOES NOT COVER MY VIN#. SHE ALSO INDICATED THAT EACH CALL IS TRACKED AND WHEN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CALLS/PROBLEM REPORTS ARE OBTAINED, THEY WOULD CONSIDER THE RE-EVALUATION OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, COMING TO A STOP, OR TURNING LEFT AT SLOW SPEEDS 0-5 MPH MY ENGINE STALL WITHOUT WARNING. NO LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON THE DASH TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT RPMS FLUCTUATE (INCREASE/DECREASE) WHILE MY FOOT IS OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT I HAD BAD FUEL AND PUT AN FUEL ADDITIVE IN THE TANK TO HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, I REPLACED THE AIR FILTER, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I AM NOW GOING TO REPLACE THE EGR, BUT I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHERS HAVE DONE SO WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. BASED ON THE NOTICES PLACED HERE AND AT VARIOUS OTHER WEB-SITES FOR SEVERAL YEARS RUNNING, IT APPEARS THAT DODGE DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSPORTING MY GRAND KIDS, AND LACROSSE PLAYERS TO AND FROM VARIOUS EVENTS. IF DODGE DOES NOT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM, AND I OR SOMEONE I AM TRANSPORTING IS INJURED OR KILLED IN A ACCIDENT BASED ON THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE MALFUNCTION, DODGE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Feb 8, 2012
WHEN PUTTING FUEL IN THE GAS TANK, ONCE IT FILL UP IT SHOOTS GAS OUT. NOT A LITTLE GAS EITHER, ALOT OF GAS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE 2006 THROUGH 2008 DURANGOS BUT NOT THE 2005. THE RECALL WAS FOR CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THE WOULDN'T WANT TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Feb 6, 2012
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ( THAT TELLS YOU THE TANK IS FULL) HAS NOT KICKED IN CAUSING THE TANK TO OVER FLOW AND KICK BACK GAS SPRAY ALL OVER ME, MY FIANCE, OR THE ATTENDANT AT THE GAS STATION. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED JUST ONCE, BUT MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE 9 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND MY VIN COMES BACK WITH NO ACTIVE RECALLS, I EVEN WENT AS FAR AS READING IN DETAIL THE NHTSA RECALL REPORTS (09V003000 AND 05V034000) TO OBTAIN MANUFACTURE DATES TO COMPARE AGAINST MY OWN. NEEDLESS TO SAY MINE DOES NOT FIT IN THE DATE RANGE (3/1/04-11/30/04) HAVING BEEN MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY 2005, BUT DOES INFACT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE MODELS UNDER RECALL. THIS IS SOMETHING I WANT TO HAVE FIXED BUT DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO DO SO SEEING AS THIS IS AN ISSUE THEY KNEW THEY HAD AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED BUT QUITE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT. I AM TIRED OF BEING AFRAID TO FILL MY GAS TANK AND GETTING COVERED IN GAS WHEN I DO. *TR

AT THE END OF FUELING FUEL GUSHES BACK FROM FUEL FILLER RECEPTICAL. THIS HAPPENS USING PUMP SET FOR AUTO CUT OFF OR MANUAL OPERATION. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME FUELING IS COMPLETED WITHOUT STOPPING SHORT OF AUTO FUEL CUT OFF BY THE PUMP. THIS TO ME IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY DIFFERENT DURANGO YEAR MODELS BUT ONLY TWO SEEM TO FALL UNDER THEIR RECALLS, THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO ANY OF THE NORMALLY CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR ITEMS BUT RATHER A SYSTEM THAT SHOULD BE REASONABLY CONSIDERED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM RATHER THAN JUST A FEW COUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO ANY TIME OR MILEAGE CONSTRAINTS. IN LIGHT OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE WHAT RELIEF COULD/SHOULD WE EXPECT REGUARDING THIS ISSUE? *TT

AFTER I BOUGHT MY DURANGO USED, I BROUGHT IT TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK. I FILLED UP THE TANK, JUST BEFORE THE GAS PUMP SHUT OFF, THERE WAS ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF GAS THAT SHOT OUT THE GAS FILLER HOSE AT ME- I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP AT THE GAS STATION AND TOLD THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT. ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO I FILLED MY FUEL TANK AGAIN, AND AGAIN THE FUEL LITERALLY SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT AT ME. I THOUGHT THIS TIME IT WASN'T A COINCIDENCE SINCE IT WAS AT A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. I STARTED SEARCHING AND FOUND THERE ARE MANY DURANGO OWNERS WITH THIS SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE. APPARENTLY, DODGE HAS AGREED TO FIX 2006-2008 VEHICLES, BUT THE 2005'S AREN'T COVERED. THIS IS REDICULOUS, DOES SOMEONE'S CAR HAVE TO CATCH ON FIRE FOR DODGE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY? *TT

FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS. ABOUT ONE OR TWO SECONDS AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF BECAUSE THE TANK IS FULL, FUEL WILL GUSH OUT OF THE TANK FOR ABOUT ANOTHER ONE TO TWO SECONDS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND A GENERAL SAFETY CONCERN. THE DODGE DEALER TELLS ME IT'S A STUCK ROLL OVER VALVE AND NOT UNDER WARANTY OR COVERED IN A RECALL. *TT
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 30, 2012
SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THREE YEARS AGO I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALER, ABOUT GAS SPEWING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE WHEN I FILL THE TANK. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE IS WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY OF 2005 AND NOT A 2006 MODEL. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH 2004 AND 2005 DURANGOS AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO COVER THESE VEHICLES. HAVING GAS SPEW OUT OF MY TANK IS GOING TO CAUSE A FIRE.

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.

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.

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.
