Fuel system, Gasoline, Feb 2, 2009
THERE WAS NO LEAD UP, THE GAS TANK JUST STARTED OVERFLOWING AND IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE GAS PUMP WHEN FUELING THE TANK. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME THAT WE FILL UP USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF FEATURE ON A GAS PUMP. THE RESULT IS SEVERAL OUNCES (JUST A GUESS, BUT IT IS A LOT) OF GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK, ONTO THE GROUND AND EVEN SPLASHING ONTO AN UNSUSPECTING TRUCK OWNER. WE TOOK THE TRUCK INTO OUR DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN VINS OF THIS VEHICLE TYPE, BUT OURS IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR AS THE RECALL VEHICLES. THE ESTIMATE FOR A NEW FUEL TANK IS AROUND $800 AND OF COURSE THE WARRANTY WENT VOID A FEW THOUSAND MILES PRIOR TO THE MALFUNCTION WE ARE EXPERIENCING. IF DODGE KNOWS THERE ARE PROBLEMS ON SOME OF THE TRUCKS IN THE SAME YEAR THAT OURS WAS MANUFACTURED AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT, HOW CAN THEY NOT BE LIABLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM?? DODGE IS NOT WILLING TO FIX AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT, BUT REFUSE TO FIX IN REGARDS TO ALL OF THE TRUCKS AFFECTED. IT SEEMS AS IF NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE FUEL TANK DESIGN THAT THEY ADMIT WAS WRONG IN VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, JUST A FEW MONTHS OLDER. HOW IS THAT ETHICAL? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS. *TR

PLEASE REFERENCE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : RQ08005. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A 2005 DODGE DURANGO , WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, AND AT THE TIME TANK IS FULL, THE BACK FLOW VALVE OF THE FILLER NOZZLE SEEMS TO BE STUCK OPEN AND DOES NOT CLOSE. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO BACK FLOW OUT OF THE TANK AND UNDER THE WHEEL WELL AND ONTO THE GROUND. ALSO IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED THAT GAS SPRAYS OUT A HIGH PRESSURE. I HAVE BEEN TOTALLY SOAKED BY THE FUEL BACK FLOW AND THE FUEL CONTACT ON MY SKIN/CLOTHING CAUSED IRRITATION . I HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM 3 TIMES AND NOW HAVE THE SUV IN THE DEALER SHOP FOR REPAIR. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO NHTSA RECALL NO. 05V-034, BUT THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 10/2005 AND OBVIOUSLY HAS THE DEFECT REPORTED BY THE RECALL. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT ONLY HAS 26K MILES ON IT, THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD BE REPAIRED VIA "GOODWILL" (BUT ONLY AFTER I THREATENED TO TAKE THE DEALERSHIP TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT OVER THE ISSUE...... REALLY, DEALERS NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING AND SHOULD FORMALLY RECALL ALL YEAR 2005 VEHICLES. I WAS PRETTY LUCKY NOT TO GET SPRAYED IN THE FACE WITH FUEL.
