NHTSA Complaint #11413750 — 2014 DODGE DURANGO

THIS SPECIFIC MODEL I'M CURRENTLY LEASING IS A LIMITED MODEL. I'VE HAD IT FOR MAYBE 3 YEARS. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, WERE ONLY TO USE E85 FUEL SO THAT IT COULD RUN SMOOTHLY. UNFORTUNATELY, NOT MANY GAS STATIONS WHERE I LIVE CARRY THAT SPECIFIC GAS TYPE AND NOT MANY GAS STATIONS IN FLORIDA AND OTHER STATES ALONE, PROVIDE E85 FUEL WE ARE GIVEN NO CHOICE BUT TO USE THE ALTERNATIVE GAS. IT'S BECOMING A NUISANCE WHEN WE WANT TO TRAVEL. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FIRST APPEARED THE GAS GAUGE ALSO STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE TRUCK ISN'T ABLE TO REACH A FULL TANK. SOMETHING IS PREVENTING IT. THIS IS BECOMING AN INCONVENIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO HAVE TO SEARCH AND GO TO JUST 2 GAS STATIONS MILES APART FROM EACH OTHER TO BE ABLE TO PUT GAS IN! MAJORITY OF THE TIMES THE GAS STATIONS THAT DO OFFER THIS TYPE OF GAS ARE DOWN DUE TO MAINTENANCE. SINCE I'VE BEEN PUTTTING IN THE ALTERNATIVE FUEL WHICH IS THE 87, THE TRUCK ISN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND NOW I'M STARTING TO HAVE ALL SORTS OF PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK. IT'S A HEADACHE. I REALLY LOVE MY TRUCK AND DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT MY MY FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL SENSOR NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE COSTS ARE EXPENSIVE AND I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR.
