  WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THAT MY 4 LO WARNING LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. ONCE I CAME TO A SAFE STOP, I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE ACTIVELY TRYING TO ENGAGE ITSELF BY MAKING A CLANKING NOISE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING, ONLY THIS TIME, IT SUCCEEDED IN SHIFTING ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE BUT ONLY FOR A BRIEF PERIOD. NOW IT DOES THIS ON A DAILY BASIS AND WILL EVEN DO THIS IN MY GARAGE WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT WILL ALSO DO THIS WHEN I USE THE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK MY DOORS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER DURANGO OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. MY WORRY IS THAT IT WILL FIND A WAY TO SHIFT ITSELF INTO 4 LO WHILE EITHER MY WIFE OR MYSELF ARE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. IF THAT HAPPENS, IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL TO PREVENT ANY INJURIES OR DEATHS. PEOPLE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE, REPLACE WIRING, AND SEVERAL OTHER FIX ATTEMPTS BUT TO NO AVAIL. AS A 16-YEAR CAREER FIREFIGHTER, I AM PLEADING WITH YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS. *JS

• 12/31/2009· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  LOSS OF POWER WHEN GETTING ON FREEWAY. ENGINE CHUGS, ROUGH IDLE, NO POWER TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED CODES AND FOUND P0308 AND P2099. CHANGED ALL 8 SPARK PLUGS, PLUGS 4, 6, 8, 3, 5, AND 7 SHOW SINGS OF SETTING IN WATER. FOUND OUT DODGE HAS TWO SERVICE BULLETINS TO KEEP THIS FROM OCCURRING, SB 18-006-05 REV A AND 18-024-06. DO WE NEED CRASHES ON THE FREEWAY BEFORE WE CAN FORCE DODGE TO FIX THIS ON ALL 2004 AND 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 4.7 L ENGINE. *TR

• 12/31/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED (HEMI) SPEWS ABOUT 1 QUART OF GAS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. DEALER SAYS MY VIN # ( MFG. DATE 3/05) IS NOT COVERED BY THEIR 1ST OR 2ND RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER CARE @ 1-800-853-1403 AND WAS TOLD ALTHOUGH I APPEAR TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM STARTED APPROX. APRIL 2009. I HAVE LEARNED TO STAND TO THE SIDE WHEN I FILL UP SO I DON'T GET DRENCHED WITH GASOLINE WHEN I FILL UP ! *TR

• 12/31/2004· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  EACH TIME WE FILL THE FUEL TANK OF OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO THE TANK OVER FLOWS AND FUEL COMES POURING OUT AROUND THE REFUELING NOZZLE AND SPILLS OUT ONTO THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN THAT AT LEAST HALF A GALLON OF FUEL THAT SPIILLS OUT THAT COULD IGNITE AND SPREAD TO THE FUEL TANK AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. FORTUNEATELY IT IS WINTER NOW, BUT IN THE SUMMER THE CHANCES OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION ARE MORE LIKELY. THE CAR IS A NEW MODEL FOR DODGE AND I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIALTEY. I PLAN ON CONTACTING THE DODGE TO IDENTIFY THE PROPLEM WITH THEM. I'M SURE THEY WILL NOT SHARE WITH ME IF OTHER DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM.*AK

  UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK, IT HAS STARTED TO OVERFLOW AND SPRAY GASOLINE ONCE IT GETS FULL. *TR

• 12/30/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT OF MY FUEL TANK. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS STATION NOZZLE, BUT REALIZED THAT AFTER USING SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. AFTER COMPLETING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I SAW THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAME COMPLAINT. I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN ON MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I ASKED FOR MY NEXT STEPS, AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I DID, AND WAS TOLD I COULD PAY THE $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. BUT, I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY "SEVERAL" HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, GAS SPEWED ALL OVER MY HANDS AND FEET. SO, AFTER CLEANING MYSELF UP THE BEST I COULD, I DROVE HOME SMELLING GAS FUMES. I HAVE TO LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AND LOOK AT THE GALLONS ON THE FUEL PUMP TO DETERMINE WHEN I NEED TO STOP ADDING FUEL. I THEN GO TURN THE KEY TO SEE HOW FULL THE TANK IS. I THEN PROCEED AGAIN WITH THE SAME STEPS UNTIL I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH GAS OR AT TIMES, GAS COMES SPEWING OUT. I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF AN INJURY THAT COULD OCCUR TO MY EYES IF GAS GOT IN THEM DUE TO ME LISTENING SO CLOSELY FOR THE SOUND OF A "FULL" TANK. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN WHICH THE VIN NUMBER WASN'T COVERED, AND I THINK THIS IS LUDICROUS, IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. WILL IT TAKE THE ACTIONS OF MY LAWYER TO GET THIS RESOLVED?

  ANYTIME I FUEL, MY J2005 DURANGO SPITS A LOT GASOLINE OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST I FUEL OR WHETHER OR NOT I TOP OFF THE TANK. I CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE WILL NOT INCLUDE MY 2005 DURANGO VEHICLE IN THE FUEL TANK RECALL AS NOTED IN YOUR CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V003000 OR 05V3400, EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE SAME ISSUE THE RECALLS WERE TO FIX.

• 12/30/2007· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. I HIT THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATED. I STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN. I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON TO THE OVERPASS OVER THE INTERSTATE. I WAS DOING ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN I FELT THE THROTTLE COME OUT FROM UNDER MY FOOT. I HIT THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IT KEEP ACCELERATING. I HIT IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT FINELY WENT OFF AFTER A FEW TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAD ACCELERATED TO ALMOST 35 MPH. WHEN IT WENT OFF THE MOTOR STARTED MAKING THIS HORRIBLE NOISE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN CONNECTING ROD OR IT DROPPED A VALVE. THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT HAPPENED ON THE FRIDAY DEC. 28TH. THIS IS SUNDAY THE 30TH. HAVENT HAD A CHANCE TO LET ANYONE LOOK AT IT. I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO DO THE WORK MYSELF. *TR

• 12/29/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  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.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

• 12/29/2014· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  EVERY TIME I WENT TO FILL THE GAS TANK IT HAD A DELAY OVERFLOW . STARTED OUT WITH ABOUT A CUP OF GASOLINE AND THEN INCREASED TO ABOUT 3/4 OF A PINT AND THIS IS EVEN WHEN FILLING VERY SLOWLY. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON DURANGO'S IN 2005 FOR GAS TANKS OVERFLOWING BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE CHECK VALVE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER HE SAID THAT RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY VIN NUMBER?. I DO NOT SEE HOW THAT CAN BE. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS OVER 40 YEARS AND NEVER HAD ONE OVERFILL THE FUEL TANK AND SPLASH ALL OVER YOU. *TR

• 12/29/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  2005 DODGE DURANGO SPILLS FUEL WHEN FINISHING FILLING THE TANK. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT DODGE WILL ONLY INCLUDE CERTAIN VINS IN THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE IS AFFECTED WITH DIFFERENT VINS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. *TR

• 12/29/2007· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  MY CAR STALLS AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND I LOSE ALL ABILITY TO STEER AND HAS COME VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS AND LEFT NO CODES. THE DEALERSHIP JUST SAYS NO CODES NO ANSWER. *TR

• 12/28/2017· ENGINE

  AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND ALLOWING CHILDREN TO CROSS IN THE CROSSWALK, MY VEHICLE TRY'S TO ACCELERATE/JUMP FORWARD EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT HAS THE BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY PUSHED DOWN. THE SCHOOLS IN MY TOWN GET PACKED WITH TRAFFIC AND YOU HAVE TO KINDA OF STOP AND GO AT A SLOW PACE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO TRY'S TO NUDGE FORWARD ON ITS OWN WHEN SLOWLY STOPPING AND GOING IN TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING AROUND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WITH CHILDREN AROUND. I HOPE THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE IS ABLE TO BE RESOLVED. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE, WHETHER I'M PICKING UP OR DROPPING OFF KIDS AT SCHOOL, OR I'M CREEPING ALONG VERY SLOWLY STOPPING AND GOING LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT, OR AT A RED LIGHT OR SLOWING DOWN BEFORE ENTERING A DRIVEWAY, OR ANYTIME I'M IN A DRIVERHRU AND I HAVE TO CREEP ALONG AND STOP AND GO. WOULD LOVE FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED. I WILL EVEN PAY FOR IT, I JUST WOULD LIKE IT TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS.

  AT THE COMPLETION OF FUELING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, THE FUEL PUMP WILL SHUT OFF, THEN 1-2 SECONDS LATER APPROXIMATELY 1 CUP OF FUEL WILL SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. IT HAS OCCURRED 4 TIME OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS (EACH TIME I FILL UP). WHILE RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I CAME ACROSS NHTSA ACTION NUMBER RQ08005, AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER (CASE #20241304) WHO TOLD ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO DELRAY MOTORS TO EVALUATE. THEY REPLACED THE FILLER PIPE, CHARGED ME $403.21, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. AFTER RETURNING THE CAR TO DELRAY MOTORS, THEY HAVE MADE VARIOUS ACCUSATION REGARD ME NOT REPRESENT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS COMPLETED IN AUGUST OF 2005 (WHICH WAS NEVER DONE).

IT APPEARS IT'S SEVERAL CUPS OF GAS THAT SPRAYS OUT. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I AM CLEAR OF THE GAS TANK PIPE OR I WILL BE COVERED IN GAS. I CONTACTED DODGE WITH THE ISSUE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND LEARNED THAT THERE WERE TWO RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THERE ARE STILL MORE OF THESE DANGEROUS ISSUES HAPPENING. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

  THERE WAS NO INCIDENT THAT LED TO THIS HAPPENING. IT SEEMED TO BEGIN FOR NO REASON. WHENEVER I FILL MY GAS TANK, IF I DO NOT STOP THE PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL, IT OVERFLOWS. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME I FILL THE TANK FULL. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPILLS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. DODGE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON 26,000 OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS, BUT REFUSES TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THIS RECALL #05V-034. I HAVE NO REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. *TR

  WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF, FUEL WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE FUEL FILL HOLE. THIS HAS DONE THIS REPEATEDLY, AND IS TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOES IT EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, FUEL IS ALL OVER THE GROUND, SHOES, PANTS AND ANYTHING ELSE NEAR THE FUEL CAP. THIS IS BEGINNING TO CONCERN ME AS THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD. RECALLS FOR THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO WERE RESEARCHED AND OUR PARTICULAR VIN# IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL LIST. NO REPAIRS WERE ATTEMPTED. DATE LISTED BELOW IS THE LAST TIME THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. *TR

TAKEN IT IN TO DODGE TWICE FOR SERVICE AND THEY TELL US THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE WRONG AS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE. WE WANT THIS FIXED. WE LIKE THE TRUCK OTHERWISE.

  2005 DURANGO HAS BEEN STALLING AT VARIOUS TIMES FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS. THE WHOLE CAR TURNS OFF. LIGHTS....EVERYTHING. MECHANIC, TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAVE NO IDEA WHY. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS EITHER GOING IN REVERSE OR GOING FORWARD. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU START DRIVING THE CAR BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT CAN ALSO GO FOR DAYS WITHOUT HAPPENING. THE ONLY CODE IS A THE NUMBER 6 CYLINDER MISFIRE BUT EVERYONE AGREES THAT ONE CYLINDER MISFIRING WOULD NOT RESULT IN THE CAR GOING DEAD. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN SERVICED AND SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL. WE HAVE SPENT $600 ON REPAIRS AND CAR RENTALS AND I STILL HAVE NO CAR.
