TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2004-2005 MODELS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 60,000.
DT: ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2005 ONE OF THE TWO STRAPS THAT HELD THE GAS TANK BECAME UNHOOKED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN. CONTACTED CHRYSLER, THEY WERE NOT CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED ON A SMOOTH PAVED ROAD, IT WAS NOT BUMPY, NO RAIN NOR SNOW. HEARD THE STRAP SCRAPPING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SAW IT DRAGGING UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAD A MECHANIC INSTALL IT AND CHRYSLER TO MAKE SURE IT WAS DONE CORRECTLY. *AK *JB
