NHTSA Complaint #10383928 — 2005 DODGE DURANGO

I HAVE TWO SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO. FIRST, DURING THE END OF FUEL FILLING, AS THE VAPOR LOCK ON THE PUMP ENGAGES AND SHUTS THE VALVE TO THE PUMP OFF, GAS IMMEDIATELY SPEWS FROM THE FILLER NECK, AS IF THE TANK DEPRESSURIZED. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE (3) TIMES NOW. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! THE RESULT COULD CAUSE A FIRE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE! THE OTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE A MAJOR CONCERN WITH IS THAT THE VEHICLE STALLS DURING LOW SPEED TURNING. IF AT AN INTERSECTION AND ATTEMPTING A TURN, THE VEHICLE MAY STALL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN TEN (10) TIMES IN THE EIGHT MONTHS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THIS TOO IS A MAJOR CONCERN AS IT CAN ALSO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE TO NOT ONLY MYSELF, WIFE, YOUNG CHILDREN, AND OTHERS THAT MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IF IT WHERE TO HAPPEN! I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUES TO DODGE AND THEIR RESPONSE TO ME IS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. I DO PLAN ON DOING THIS HOWEVER, WHILE RESEARCHING THE ISSUES ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND A MANY NUMBERS OF VEHICLES (SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL) WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT ISOLATED AND SHOULD BE CAUSE FOR SAFETY CONCERNS THROUGHOUT THE NATION FOR THE VEHICLES/OWNERS. *TR
