Purchased vehicle in april 2013. First week fuel pump went out. In late 2013 replaced fuel pump again after it went out a second time. By now we realized that if we drove the vehicle in the rain or through a car wash it would shutter and cut off. In early 2014 the fuel pump went out again. We replaced fuel pump again and also cowl as we had found information that the cowl was allowing water to drip down on the engine and electrical box. This helped for about 14 months. In july 2015 replaced fuel pump twice. Now it is november 2015 and as I type this it is back in the shop having the fuel pump replaced again. Water is again leaking onto the engine and computer block. It causes shuttering and stalling and then within a short time the fuel pump goes out. Driving down the road in the rain is terribly dangerous because there is no way to tell if the vehicle will shut off or not. I have contacted dodge and there is a technical safety bulletin about this issue, but no recall as of yet. A quick search shows hundreds of other dodge owners having the same issue. Because most of the vehicles are no longer under warranty dodge has not address the issue as a whole. I hope it doesn't take someone or a family being killed before a recall is issued.
2004 Dodge Durango fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 30 of 30, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have had this SUV for just a few months the day I mad my first payment it went into the shop to be fixed. At first it was apparently my #5 piston shot thru the block with only 120,000 mile on it. Than after spending the $3,700 to get that fixed it was still smoking and having issues. Next thing I know it is now the intake manifold whitch was another $700.00 and it was 84 in back order when I seen that I pulled it up online were I read that thousans and thousands of people have had this same problem with the first year of the hemi motor in the durango. I have three small children and I support my kids and husband due to his spine surgerys. I feel if there has been this many parts go bad that it should have a recall with it. I cant afford to keep putting money in something that is still not going to drive properly with my children in it. It has shut off while driving the SUV. It is not safe for my kids to be in im afraid they will be hurt or killed if it happens again. Dodge needs to do the right thing and have thiss recalled as soon as they can. The vechile turned off while on a street thank god it was not on the free way.
I was driving my wife to work that morning, it was a bright clear day. I was parked half out of garage. As my wife came out of the laundry room I touched the gas to pull forward. However this did not happen, SUV revved all the way up and would not rev down. I tried to apply brakes but they did not work. I came within a foot of killing my wife. To make this so bad I complained about this before so has my wife. My SUV literally went through 3 walls and several rooms. I have 3 disk fused in my neck and several of the screws are broke. I can live being a cripple but I cant live with out my wife. Chrysler had independent inspector take a look at it. I told him it was at eagle paint and body, and did he need me to stop all repairs. He told me know he could get his data from computer. The chrysler legal team sent ne a nasty letter stating that I hade moved the vehicle and they were no longer responsible. I even tried to call chrysler back to tell them the SUV did the same thing, but they informed me legal took over the case and they needed no other data from me. Just one thing when this happens again and kills myself, my family or a bus of kids. Who will be going to jail for the rest of there life.
I was filling up my gas tank when the car started spitting out gas at me. Luckily I stopped it fast enough but had some gas on me and all over the side of my car. I've looked this up and it seems to be a big problem with the durangos. I really would like to fill my car up without worrying about being covered in gas or my car starting to rust.
Gas spills out when filling the tank. Rust from gas spills.
The wheel well and body surrounding wheel well has rusted through, the driver's door has rusted on door. The lift gate has rusted in multiple spots mostly on the bottom edge. The fuel tank overflows when pumping.
The fuel overflow does not work and allows for fuel to spill all over the car. This results in lots of fuel on the car and on the ground. You can never use the automatic fuel filler on pumps. I have even gotten fuel as high up as my face when it splashes out. This has resulted in rust on the left rear quarter panel and as well as a very unsafe fueling area.
My truck was parked in the driveway, it was raining and then the lights started flickering without the keys being in the ignition. I tried to move the truck to the inside of the garage and the smoke came out of the hood and from under the dash. I turned the truck off and the engine remained running, we had to call the fire department because it was smoking and the keys were off. The fire department came and removed the battery and said it may be a short when it rained. The truck is in the garage I cant drive it when it rains because water goes in to the truck from the front I can actually see water leaking into the floor. I owned the truck for 3 years and never had this problem until it reached 100,000 miles.
My 2004 dodge durango limited stalls at slow speeds and when coming to a stop and also while making turns. Have had at dealership and they cannot find out what is causing this since there are no engine codes. Vehicle is becoming very dangerous to drive due to this issue. Durango has a 5.7 hemi engine. Why is there no recalls on this issue when it involves over four years of production? Are we waiting on a incident like toyota had before we react? This has happened to durango's with mileage low to high. Please help us now on this issue before it happens to you. Thanks !
Gas leaks when filling tank gas fumes in car taken to the dealer several times.
Fuel tank has a problem on top it rust out & the vehicle will not pass a emission test. To pass you have replace the tank &the fuel pump.a cost of $2200 . I called chrysler they said to bad. They said there are no problems. I saw (4 durangos) that have this problem. My whole thing is they will replace a engine on a police vehicle with 150000 mi on them but forget the gas tank. That is a real problem.
When filling with gas the fuel tank spews out gasoline.
Needing more info on just what does the gas cap do. So far I've had my engine light come on, and was told it was because the gas cap wasn't tightened. My latest discovery, I got in my vehicle, turned on the ignition, and the car eventually died, with no further turnover. I got out of the vehicle, thought of checking the gas cap, made a few turns, and got back into my vehicle, and, it turned over without difficulty. What other features does this item have that I should be aware of?
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 dodge durango. While fueling the vehicle, gasoline would spill out of the tank. The failure occurred everytime the vehicle was fueled. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000 and the current mileage was approximately 97,000.
I have a 2004 dodge durango. With absolutely no warning, my electronic throttle control light began flashing and the car died. Didn't even have time to pull over and out of traffic. Had to have it towed home. Holiday weekend, so no dealership was open. Then had it towed to dealership....both tows cost over $200 total. It has now been at the dealership for 2 days. They cant find anything wrong with it. They tell me they think it is "electrical" so they are checking all wires. I am looking at a huge repair bill (on top of the already huge tow fees.) now answer this.....I typed in just a few keywords and found hundreds of posts with the same exact issue. If there are so many 04-05 dodge durangos with the same problem.......(there was even a nts investigation) why then does the dodge dealership claim to have "never seen this before"????? And with the safety issue it poses, why have they not issued another investigation and/or recall??? God forbid it happens again (after I pay a huge repair bill that will not address the issue) and I have my 4 kids in the car!! Then dodge will wish they listened to the american people and fixed a problem they know exists!! They need to "own up", people will be killed in related accidents......what a shame they can get away with this.
When I fill the vehicle with gas the gas starts spitting out at the end of filling resulting in a large amount of gas pouring down the side of the vehicle.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 dodge durango. Whenever the contact fills the fuel tank, gasoline sprays out of the tank. The fuel nozzle stops when the tank is full; however, fuel continues to spray out of the tank without warning. The manufacturer was notified and the vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 73,000 and current mileage was 80,000. Updated 3/19/09 *cn the dealer repaired the problem. Updated 03/23/09
Vehicle stalled out on various occasions. Dealer did not find cause, so I had them clean the fuel injectors, and throttle body on vehicle at a cost of 265.00. Since then, we have not experienced any further problems, todays date is 16 feb 07.
2004 dodge durango with the 5.7 hemi erradic idling and stalling at different times.
Fuel gauge system is unreliable... Dealer has told me nothing can be done... I can never know how much fuel is in the system.. As the vehicle runs there is a pressure change in the fuel tank, which causes the system to be faulty and fails to provide accuraate details concerning fuel level this has been a problem since I purchased this vehicle , new from the dodge dealer
