2005 Dodge Durango body problems

Filed Sep 8, 2022 · Body, Engine · MS · fire

I almost died, I escaped my car moments before it completely exploded into flames. I was driving down the interstate and it said it was overheating for a couple seconds and then the car went completely dead going 70 miles per hour. My steering wheel locked up so I fought to pull it off the road and stop it, I had a bad feeling so I checked the front of the car but it was inflamed once I got out and my seat was consumed in fire

The gasoline will overflow from the fuel filler pipe and cap and not shut off on its own. This happens when filling the vehicle stationary, with the car off at gas stations. It happens very consistently, regardless of the fill rate of the gas, the style of gasoline dispenser, or location of the gas station. The gasoline will continue to spill out from the fuel neck until someone manually intervenes and turns off the nozzle. There have been 2 recalls issued for this issue with 2005 dodge durango's (recall id# 40367, and 27198) however the recall is limited to certain vins, which does not include mine. To be clear, even though my VIN is not included in the recalls, I am experiencing the exact same issue as described in both recalls. The body on that side of the vehicle (directly under the filler cap) has been completely eaten away from the episodes of gasoline pouring out over it.

I stopped at the gas station to put gas in my 2005 durango. When it was full the gas sprayed out all over my leg and boots. When I looked for a recall there was one but not for my VIN. Because of this my finder is rusting out and ever durango I see the same make as mine has the same rust spot. I don't understand why it isn't part of the recall. The gas overflow and the rust spot.

My 05 dodge durango, which I am the only owner of, overflows gas while filling up the tank. I was told it is a recall, I called the local dealership to schedule an appointment to fix it, I was treated with absolute disrespect and was told my car was already fixed through the warranty, I assured them I was the only owner and it was never fixed, they again told me it was and they would not pay for it to get fixed again even if it is the same issue that the recall was for. I have had the gas overflow and spray all over me multiple times, including one time while I was holding my infant child. This is not ok and so beyond unsafe!!! It clearly wasn't fixed and I would like it fixed before someone gets hurt! The vehicle was off and parked. I also know multiple people with this same model and theirs do the same thing and all have rust eating through their vehicles on the panel under their gas tanks, was fixing that also in the recall since it is clearly due to the gas overflowing?

Opened the drivers door after a storm and observed standing water in the drivers side floorboard. Tried to start but the battery was dead. (daily driver w battery @ 1yr old). Placed battery on a charger and was able to start motor. Engine was reving between idle and 1500 RPM rapidly and would not respond to throttle inputs. Instrument cluster lights all on and navigation display was on but not legible. Looked for the source of the water, and it appears to be coming from around the drivers side front pillar area and leaking down the inside kick panel.

When you go to put gas in it the gas wont shut off and I have an inside light that says gas cap even though we have replaced the gas cap and I have rust where the gas has run down the car. Im also having trouble with my gauges in the vehicle and it takes spells that it doesn't want to take gas.
