Durango 4WD 8-cyl

  • 51,000 miles
During filling gas on my 2005 Dodge Durango limited (5.7 L hemi), the gas has started running out or spraying out of the filling nozzle as the fuel tank becomes full. This has happened on more than 5 occasions. The manufacturer was contacted and claims my VIN number is not part of the recall for a faulty fuel tank check valve, but I continually have to monitor my gas gauge as I'm filling my vehicle each time to avoid gas spewing out and onto the ground. This is a safety and environmental hazard that must be addressed. This is a similar issue on this model with select VIN numbers, but for some reason, mine is not covered?

Durango 4WD

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,000 miles
I purchased a 2005 Dodge Durango brand new, and since I had this vehicle it has been given me problems. There were recalls on this vehicle. The vehicle idled very hard, and it shut off when it idled hard, while sitting at a traffic light or when turning to go around a ramp. When shutting off the wheel locked, and I could not control the car. Recently, the care shut off on the New Jersey turnpike and a tractor trailer truck was behind me. Luckily, I was in the outer lane and managed to steer the car to the shoulder before the truck could hit me and my family. This was very dangerous. Last incident happened on une 10, 2007. Every time I took the car to the dealer they determined there was no problem.
