Vehicle was totaled and claim filed with geico claim # [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The gas will not shut off when refueling the vehicle. Gas runs out on the ground. I have a light that comes on saying gas cap even though I bought a new one. And I have rust on the side where gas has run down the vehicle. I have also had an incident where everything electrical in my vehicle has went crazy. Lights flashing gauges malfuctioning and at this time it would not take any fuel you could push on the accelerator all you wanted but it would not take fuel. I have read where other people have had problems with their gas refueling to. This is a very serious and dangerous problem. I would like an investigation into this and I would like a response please. I think the manufacture should be held responsible for their mistakes and this is clearly their mistake.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. When attempting to refuel the vehicle, fuel ejected out of the filler neck. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the fuel tank inlet check valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact was aware of the federal safety agency campaign number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline) but the VIN was not included. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v817000 (air bags); however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000. Updated 6/8/15
After filling up vehicle, a quantity of gasoline flushed out of the fuel filler neck causing a distinct fire hazard. This has occurred for each fill up.
Was driving and all of a sudden I smelt something burning in the dash board and all instrument lights started to get dim and dimmer and then I notice smoke coming from the dashboard and all most immediately the door locks and windows stop working, the car would lock itself and the windows stop working at all and at this point the rear door do not open at all. I ask the dealer at the lot that I bought it from at the time of purchase if the vehicle had been in a accident or was there any recalls on this vehicle and he said no and that I bought the van as is and to this day I cant get this dealer to see that this car is unsafe to operate and that I am not going to risk mine nor my kids life to drive it and he will not even trade me out of this car for something better. The other day I was fueling the van and all of a sudden gasoline shot back out the tank and spilled gas all over me, scared the hell out of me. Not only that, I was driving down the interstate in my state and out of no where my seat on its own terms began to move forward all the way to the steering wheeling pressing me to the wheel and I am 6ft 3in tall and weigh 230lbs I again call the dealership to complain and got the same story that I agreed to purchase the vehicle as is, I agreed that I did but I told him that I do not think that he told me everything that I needed to know about possible safety issues. And again I have four children age 6 months to four years old whom I love very dearly.

I went to fill my tank up on saturday march 7th 2015. I just purchase the vehicle that day. Gas started spurting out of the tank and got all over my hands. I then took the vehicle out for a drive on sunday morning with my girlfriend and the vehicle stalled and I almost rolled back on the car behind men. This happens two more times throughout the day. Then today tuesday march 10th I drove to my parents and noticed the car sputtering upon gradual acceleration.
Fuel system - replce fuel pump still check engine light stays on denostic says fuel tank sensor ,I replace with new pump still say same thing .gas over flow when pumping full tank of gas .gas evaporate quickly.
On any number of occasions (regardless of outside temperature or whether or not the vehicle was at normal operating temperature) while the vehicle is at a slow speed (in forward or reverse) the engine will stall without warning. With the loss of engine power comes the normal loss of power steering and power brakes. It appears to be most frequent when pulling into or out of a parking lot, stop sign, etc. The slow speeds are not inherently dangerous, except for the fact that stalling while in traffic and suddenly reducing speed or stopping puts myself and other motorist in jeopardy. When backing into a parking space, the loss of steering and braking capabilities create a risk of minor damage to other parked cars and could put a pedestrian at risk while being distracted and not being able to stop or steer as easily. There are no obvious sounds or engine or transmission noises or vibrations or anything to give warning that this could occur.
Fuel fill burps when tank is almost filled with fuel causing it to run down the sides of the vehicle it is a safety issue due to the possibility of it causing a fire. Have not received notice on this recall yet.
My airbag light has been illuminating and when I did a recall search an airbag recall did come up but there is no fix? Also when I fill the gas tank I get major splash back. Huge fire issue. I know there was a recall on some 2005 dodge durangos for that problem but the dealer said my VIN was not included and wouldn't fix it. How can I get my VIN included? Another issue is the engine light comes on and reads code p0456(very small emissions leak)..but the emissions system has been gone over and gone over but there is nothing that would indicate a leak.
I bought my 05 durango back in may of 05 and I've had to deal with all three of the major complaints, the fuel spewing out, the stalling, and the 4x4 activating! The fuel thing I always noticed but always thought it was something that just happened. The 4x4 engaging happened when it still had the power train warranty so I took it to the dealer to get it repaired. The good thing is that they fixed it, the bad thing is that it wasn't covered under the warranty! They told me that they replaced the 4x4 control module and I haven't had a problem since then! I'm not positive if that's the name of the module. This was back in 2008 and I haven't had that problem since then. Hopefully that helps some that are dealing with that same issue! The stalling happens here and there, not too often and usually when I'm at a stop sign. I love my durango, just hate the way dodge is just leaving all its customers on their own when there should be recalls for all these issues!! Acting like they've never heard of those problems when every owner has the same issues! Ill never buy dodge again! And it sucks because im looking into buying a new car, and I like the new durango. But there's no way I'll buy dodge, or chrysler for that matter!
I have a 2005 dodge durango 5.7 we have had multiple issues with the fuel tanks when I go to fill up it spews gas back out at me. I bought this car used about 3 yrs ago contacted dodge and they told me that mine is not a part of the 2 recalls that they have with the exact same issue so it was not a safety concern to them. We had the original tank replaced within a few mths and had to take it back immediately for the exact same issue. After that it worked well for the past 2.5 yrs and now I'm having the exact same issue with the tank again. I bought this needed a big vehicle for my family. I don't think that I should be having to replace tank assemblies every few yrs for an issue that the company knows about.
I am not happy that my VIN number pulls up only one recall when a few of the issues that I am having are on the recall list. For starters the side of my vehicle is flaking paint and not to mention everytime I fuel it, gas spurts all over the vehicle and ground. A major fire hazard especially when my children are in the back 2 seats.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel spew back out of the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the vehicle experienced same failure listed in recall the federal safety agency campaign number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 140,000.
When I put gas on my car the valve in the fuel thank does not close and leak gasoline to the floor.
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.
I can not fill up my vehicle all the way because fuel spews out before the pump shuts off. I have contacted the dealer and they will not look at it as a defect or recall anymore. I have to pay for it. I do not think that this right because this is a very serious security hazard. This issue is clearly a serious problem and could cause serious injuries or even death if an ignition source happened to blow nearby. I think the dealer should fix it free of charge. I know that there has been a recall on this before so the dealer should fix any issue that comes up concerning all factory defects and/or recalls regardless of how long it has been.
Fuel sprays out of fuel tank once tank is full when filling.
Gas tank on 2005 dodge durango shoots gas out when filling the tank. Called the dodge recall center and they said there are no "open" recalls. It seems to me that it the gas tank overflows and is a fire/explosion hazard, they should have to fix the problem. Not just say the recall period has ended and be done with it. Any advice on how to get this corrected?
The vehicle shuts off after you fill it up with fuel.
Engine will without warning lurch forward. It will also completely shut down making steering and braking extremely difficult. This vehicle had no codes showing and repair shop can't replicate the problem this lurching of the vehicle has occurred almost daily. And has completely shut down twice. I drive with two kids in the car and this is extremely dangerous. Their are several complaints with the exact same problem.
Having 3 major issues that can be life threatening..1) driving at any speed sometimes vehicle will completely shut off leaving me on the highway at 60mph no power steering 2) filling gas tank up no matter if I go slow will always spit lots of gas back out of the neck 3) 4x4 is engaging by itself. I can park it turn motor off and you can hear it going into 4x4 without me being in the vehicle or touching the 4x4 knob. This has cause me issue steering when it decides to go into 4x4 mode by itself. I need to know if their is current complaints about the above issues and how can I get them fix without me paying.
I have a 2005 dodge durango 4.7l and when filling the gas tank the gas splashes out when the pump shuts off. Even when pumping slowly it still comes out of the filler neck and onto the ground. If pumping faster it tends to shoot up and out. This is a hazard and needs to be fixed asap.there is a recall out for this problem on the 2005 durango but mine is not one of the VIN numbers that qualifies. The dealer says the entire gas tank needs to be replaced due to the check valve getting stuck and not closing properly. I have read several forum sites where other people have the same issue and chrysler is not replacing those parts.
When I'm driving in traffic (approx 30-45 MPH) or stopped at a light, my vehicle randomly shuts off. There's no indication this will happen. No lights flash or anything. The truck simply stops. I take it to mechanics and they say they can't identify the problem--but they recognize there's a problem. I'm fearful for the safety of my family in the vehicle and/or anyone we encounter when this happens. It's nearly impossible to steer the vehicle out of traffic, and the steering locks up as well. I've had the cooling system flushed, transmission replaced to no avail. Is there a recall on this thing?! There sure should be! I'm sure someone has died by now due to this malfunction.

Fuel overflows when you fill the tank up. Gas kicks back smell gas fumes while parked some times. Dealer says its not covered. But there is a recall for fuel tank check valve. Vehicle was already corrected once for same issue. Problem reoccurred.
