NHTSA RECALL # 09V003000 / 2005 DODGE DURANGO / MY DODGE DURANGO HAS EXHIBITED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS VEHICLES COVERED UNDER RECALL # 05V-034. THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. I DISCOVERED THAT CHRYSLER HAD EXPANDED THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN 10/13 AND 11/30/2004. THE RECALL STATES THAT PROCESS MODIFICATIONS WERE IMPLEMENTED ON 11/24/04 TO ADDRESS THE SPIT BACK PROBLEM AND THEY BELIEVE THAT THE PROCESS CHANGES WOULD HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN ALL VEHICLES BUILT AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT AS OF 11/30/04. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED (01/05), UPON DISCOVERING IT DID NOT INCLUDE VEHICLES BUILT AFTER 11/04, I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM I WAS ENCOUNTERING. CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY, AFTER EXPLAINING THE ISSUE WITH THE FIRST LEVEL REPRESENTATIVE I WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE NEXT LEVEL (REF # 18546515). AFTER DISCUSSING THE ISSUE IN DEPTH SHE FINALLY AGREED TO HAVE MY LOCAL DEALER EVALUATE THE PROBLEM AND IF IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK/CHECK VALVE THAT CHRYSLER WOULD ASSIST IN PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. SHE STATED THAT IF THAT WAS THE ISSUE THE COST COULD BE CLOSE TO $1000 FOR THE REPAIR AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY $400. I INSISTED THAT IF IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS COVERED IN PREVIOUS RECALLS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR. THE DEALER'S INVOICE CLEARLY STATES THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE THE FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE WAS NOT CLOSING BACK. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS WERE EXACTLY THE SAME AS COVERED UNDER THE RECALLS. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, CHECK VALVE AND O-RING. MY PORTION OF THE REPAIR WAS $326.
