    I have owned this vehicle for approximately four years now. It has a persistent and very unsettling problem of stalling for no apparent reason with no corresponding warning lights etc. It just dies and the power steering and brakes fail resulting in significant loss of steering and braking effectiveness. This problem has occurred intermittently with no pattern of origin evident several times over the past few years.…

    Experiencing same issue as reported in nhtsa recall campaign number 09v003000 - fuel-spit back problems caused by stuck inlet check valves in the fuel tank filler tubes. When filling up the tank the fuel spits out. This issue occurs regularly upon fill up. The fuel spits out onto vehicle, gas station pavement, and clothing. This is an extreme hazard to myself and to my passengers in the vehicle during regular fill…

    We had our gas tank replaced on our vehicle on 7/24/08 and chrysler then had a recall notice for the fuel inlet valve issue, which was the problem that we were having. We have contacted chrysler about reimbursing us the cost of the gas tank due to the recall and they will not reimburse this money, stating that they have reviewed our case and will not reimburse us. We were not aware of this recall, as we did not…

    I purchased a dodge durango in 2007. At the time the car had 24000 miles. Around 2009 the car when i filled the tank with gas and removed the pump handle from the durango the gas would overflow all over. So in 2009 i took the car to the dodge dealership in north florida ave. They said that there was no recalls for this car. At this point the car had 29,000 miles. Up to this date i still have this problem every time…

    Fuel will spray out when fueling is completed. I had the recall accomplished back in 2006, but this recall did not resolve the issue and my vehicle continues to spray fuel after every fill up. Another recall needs to be issued. *tr

    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…

    Fuel tank inlet check valve fails causing gas to leak out at conclusion of a fueling when stationary. This has damaged the rear quarter panel over the years. This is the same condition as covered in chrysler recall no. H45, however, they only recalled 18,951 manufactured from oct-nov 2004. This durango (march 2005), as well as many others who have complained, is outside of those dates and yet have the same defect.…
