THE CODE STATES THE PROBLEM IS A TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND OF COURSE IT IS JUST OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT NOW. THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I CALLED A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC TO SEE IF HE COULD FIX THE PROBLEM DUE TO NOT HAVING THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THE FRIEND HAS TOLD ME THAT DODGE HAS HAD A LOT OF THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS WITH THE DURANGO. MY VEHICLE HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST WOULD BE A $200 DEDUCTIBLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP) AND 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY).

PERTAINING TO THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO: WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, IT JUST SHUTS OFF, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU LOOSE POWERSTEERING, WHICH PUTS YOU IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'M NOT SURE IF ITS ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL RELATED. I HAVE VISITED A FEW RECALL SITES AND VARIOUS PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT FOR MANY THINGS TO INCLUDE SPARK PLUGS. I THINK IT MAY BE THE ELECTRIC CONTROL MODULE, BUT THAT'S JUST AN OPINION. I FEEL THIS SITUATION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY DODGE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IS SPILLING FUEL FROM THE FILLER NECK UPON FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY DURANGO IS NOT INVOLVED WITH A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE USING MY VIN#. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNFAIR. MY DURANGO HAS A MANF DATE OF 10/04. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE NEEDS TO FIX REGARDLESS IF AFFECTED TANK RELIEF VALVE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AT A CERTAIN DATE. DODGE NEEDS TO EXPAND THE MANF DATES FOR THESE RECALLS AFFECTING THE TANK RELIEF VALVE ISSUE. IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX AN ISSUE SUCH AS THIS DUE TO THE SAFETY, FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS THAT OCCUR EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK. *TR

TOOK IT TO A DEALER BECAUSE I HEARD ABOUT A RECALL BUT WAS TOLD MINE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND WOULD COST NEARLY 800 DOLLARS TO FIX. I DON'T THINK SO. THIS KIND OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. PHONED "CUSTOMER SERVICE" AT DODGE/CHRYSLER AND WAS ALSO GIVEN THE SAME STORY ABOUT IT NOT BEING IN THE RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

FUEL SPILLS EVERYWHERE, ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THE PUMPS. AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS WELL AS FIRE SAFETY, THE DEALER RECOMMENDED I GET THE GAS TANK REPLACED.

THE RECALL IS FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM 10/13/2004-11/30/2004. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON 12/1/2004, ONE DAY AFTER THE CUT OFF FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED THE COMPANY AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.
