I HAVE READ ABOUT THREE RECALLS FOR MY TRUCK (1999 DODGE DURANGO). I HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN NOTIFIED BY CHRYSLER. I THOUGH THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO NOTIFY YOU,ESPECIALLY WITH ONE OF THEM BEING A PART TO THE GAS TANK. THANKS FOR YOUR WEB PAGE....JOE S. *NLM

THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE FUEL LINE ASSEMBLY, WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO LEAK FUEL AT THE CONNECTION, THE FUEL LINE WAS REPLACED TWICE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *JB

CONSUMER STATE FUEL TANK STRAP HAD BROKEN CAUSING FUEL TANK TO HANG DOWN. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND REPAIR VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

CONSUMER STATES OF HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. MR

INTAKE SEAL LEAKED ALLOWING MOST OF THE OIL TO BURN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE ILLINOIS TOLLWAY AND THE OIL GUAGE DROPPED TO NEAR ZERO AND THE WARNING TONE DINGED. WHEN I EVENTUALLY PULLED INTO MY DEALER 6 QUARTS OF OIL LATER, THEY IMMEDIATELY NEW IT WAS THE INTAKE SEAL AND THANKFULLY I HAD 3 WEEKS LEFT ON THE WARRANTY.*AK

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY DURING NORMAL OPERATION. DEALERSHIP EXAMINED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION AND FUEL PUMP WERE BOTH FAULTY. THESE COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED, AND PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / ATTACHMENTS.*AK

ACCORDING TO THE DEALER HERE IN SAN ANTONIO (NORTH STAR DODGE), THE FUEL TANK BUCKLED, AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THE FUEL TANK IS ON BACKORDER NATIONWIDE, AND THAT THERE ARE 20 OTHER DURANGO OWNERS WAITING ON THIS PART. I FEEL THIS NECESSITATES A RECALL OF THIS MODEL BECAUSE A) THE LIKLIHOOD OF COMBUSTION IS VERY POSSIBLE GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE FUEL TANK ACTUALLY SHRINKS UP MUCH LIKE A PAPER BAG WHEN ALL THE AIR IS SUCKED OUT; B) THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS VEHICLES ALREADY, ENOUGH TO REQUIRE DODGE TO BE IN A BACKORDER SITUATION. I ALSO AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE COMPARABLE TO MY DURANGO THAT SEATS 8. THE DEALER ONLY PROVIDES A $30 A DAY RATE WITH ENTERPRISE, WHICH SUPPLIED ME WITH A FORD PICK-UP THAT SEATS 3. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OVER THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF FIRE AND RELATED HAZARDS DUE TO THIS FUEL TANK PROBLEM. THANK HEAVENS MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE NOT INJURED--THE CAR SIMPLY DIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

CONSUMERS FUEL STRAPS WERE FATIGUED AND CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT IS HOW HIS VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AFTER SKIDDING ON SLICK PAVEMENT AND TIPPING OVER PRIOR TO RECALL NOTICIFATION. NLM

DEALER HAS NO CLUE HOW TO FIX PROBLEM WITH TANK IMPLODING *AK
