2005 Dodge DURANGO problems and owner complaints

EACH TIME WE FILL THE FUEL TANK OF OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO THE TANK OVER FLOWS AND FUEL COMES POURING OUT AROUND THE REFUELING NOZZLE AND SPILLS OUT ONTO THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN THAT AT LEAST HALF A GALLON OF FUEL THAT SPIILLS OUT THAT COULD IGNITE AND SPREAD TO THE FUEL TANK AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. FORTUNEATELY IT IS WINTER NOW, BUT IN THE SUMMER THE CHANCES OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION ARE MORE LIKELY. THE CAR IS A NEW MODEL FOR DODGE AND I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIALTEY. I PLAN O…

ONCE AGAIN WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DURANGO SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. ONCOMING TRAFFIC JUST MISSED COLLIDING WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATOR STICKING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE EXCESSIVE RPM. ALSO THE FRONT END SEEMS TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM, WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE THE FRONT END KNOCKS AND FEELS AS IF THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF.

WHILE TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT, ACROSS A FAIRLY BUSY ROAD, MY 3 WEEK OLD DODGE DURANGO LIMITED HEMI JUST CUT OUT. THE POWER STEERING DISAPPEARED, THE ENGINE WAS GONE, AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ONCOMING LANE. I SWITCHED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND ON A FEW TIMES UNTIL THE POWER STEERING AND ACCELERATION WERE BACK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, MY DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE COMPUTER REPORTS NOTHING IS WRONG, AND I REFUSE TO TAKE BACK THE VEHICLE. MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE LOGGED COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE ON DODGETALK.COM, WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?*A…

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND I FELT A JOLT. THEN CAR LEANED TO THE LEFT SLIGHTLY AND THEN JERKED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE FEET INTO A CEMENT PILLAR. I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS PINNED SHUT BY THE PILLAR. WHEN I GOT OUT AND WALKED AROUND TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE I SAW MY LEFT FRONT TIRE LAYING FLAT PARALLEL WITH THE GROUND, PINNED PARTIALLY UNDER THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE TIRE (THE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, BRAKE LINE, ETC.) WERE STILL ATTACHED TO TH…

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS (SIX INCIDENTS) WHERE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I HAD PROBLEMS ACCELERATING, THE ACCELERATOR WAS REVVING UP AND I COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 20 MPH.

FOUR TIMES BETWEEN THE MONTHS OF FEBRUARY AND JULY 2005 MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START DAILY EACH MORNING FOR A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE JUMP STARTED AND RUN CORRECTLY DURING THE DAY, HOWEVER, WHEN LEFT OVERNIGHT, THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. THE DEALER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ANSWER FOR THE STALLING. REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL, THEY TESTED THE DRAW AND HELD THE VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, THEY INDICATED THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE BEHIND THE DASH BOAR…
