THE CAR'S FUEL TANK FAILS TO SHUT-OFF, I.E. IT DOESN'T APPROPRIATELY RESPOND TO THE SHUT-OFF MECHANISM. GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM THE TANK, SOMETIMES IN A SPILLS OUT SOMETIMES IT FLOWS OUT! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF I MANUALLY FILL THE TANK, ONCE FULL IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME I'M REFUELING AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT, RUNNING DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, ON MY HAND ON MY CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND!

FROM TIME VEHICLE PURCHASED IT WOULD OVERFLOW GAS WHEN TRYING TO FILL TANK,RECENTLY ( APPROX. 93000 MILES)A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IS SMELT WHEN STANDING BY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND ALSO ON FLOOR IN PASSENGER AREA.IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THERE MAY BE A FUEL LEAK COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. TALKED WITH DODGE AND THEY ARE SAYING THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND DODGE SAYS THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THEIR VEHICLES, WRONG SERIAL NUMBERS.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUYING IT. GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP. IT'S GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE AT SOME POINT BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT AT RANDOM TIMES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STEER AND BRAKE VERY POORLY UNTIL RESTARTED. I NOTICED THAT OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THIS ONE, HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO FIX THIS ONE - EVEN THOUGH OTHER MODEL YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPAIRED. THIS STUPID THING IS GOING TO BLOW UP ONE DAY AT THE GAS STATION, OR I'M GOING TO CRASH INTO SOMEBODY WHEN IT STALLS, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO TAKE IT EVERY MECHANIC ON THE PLANET TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT - ESPECIALLY SINCE DODGE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT - BUT JUST WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR BUILDING IT POORLY. *TR
