NHTSA complaint #10712930, filed 2015-04, 160,000 miles“We recently purchase a 2005 Dodge Durango v-8 hemi. Within 2 weeks of having it I noticed there was a considerable amount of noise coming from the driver's side door. It sounds as the door isn't closed all the way, but when I goto to re- shut it to make sure it is closed, it still sounds like it is open. Then my 2 year old son had rolled his window down the same time I had and my driver's side door began to shake violently. I literally thought the door would fly off and smack into a another car/ bicyclist on the highway while I was driving! …”
NHTSA complaint #10418033, filed 2011-08, 136,000 miles“I have a 2005 Dodge Durango limited w/ hemi. We purchased this vehicle used w/ 26,000 miles on it a year and 4 months ago. I have experienced several problems w/ it: broken remote keys-the remote locking devices on both keys are now dysfunctional due to the solder that holds the battery in place breaking. I cannot lock/unlock vehicle from outside and when it is locked from inside prior to exiting, upon re-entry, the alarm sounds until key is put into ignition and vehicle is started. The amount of money to replace these keys is outrageous!!!! …”

This happens when filling the vehicle stationary, with the car off at gas stations. It happens very consistently, regardless of the fill rate of the gas, the style of gasoline dispenser, or location of the gas station. The gasoline will continue to spill out from the fuel neck until someone manually intervenes and turns off the nozzle. …”
