| 1998 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT | TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. ENTIRE FRONT END FAILED! TIRES WERE GETTING READY TO FALL OFF! TIRES LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD WORN COMPLETELY BOLD BECAUSE OF THE FRONT END. WAS TOLD THAT THE 2000 WAS RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! BUT MY 1998 IS NOT IN ON RECALL...AND IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!@!!!!!!!*JB |
| 2005 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED. RECENTLY, EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, BUT IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, A GREAT DEAL OF GASOLINE ERUPTS FROM THE FILLER TUBE OF THE DURANGO. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE AND WITH DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS. RESEARCH REVEALS THAT CHRYSLER ACTUALLY ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF VIN'S FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S, BUT SINCE MY DURANGO'S VIN DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL, CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS A SAFETY ISSUE, POTENTIALLY REQUIRING ME TO PAY A $700 REPAIR BILL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, BUT CHRYSLER IS FAILING TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S INITIAL RECALL SHOULD BE BROADENED TO COVER ALL DODGE DURANGOS. *TR |
