EVERYTIME I STOP PUMPING GAS IT BLOWS APPROXIMATELY A HALF GALLON OF GAS ALL OVER ME, THE GROUND, GAS PUMP, VEHICLE, AND WHATEVER ELSE IS AROUND. THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CATCH FIRE AND BURN DOWN THE GAS STATION, VEHICLE, AND INNOCENT BY-STANDERS ETC. IT ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET INTO THE WATER THROUGH RUN OFF. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE IN THE FILLER NECK AND THAT THE WHOLE GAS TANK HAD TO BE CHANGED. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME DURANGOS FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM BUT, THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VIN#. I DON'T HAVE THE $650 TO FIX IT.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A PROBLEM WHERE ABOUT 3-6 CUPS OF FUEL COMES SPEWING FROM THE FILLER HOLE WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. THIS "SPEWING" OCCURS JUST AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE "CLICKS" OFF SIGNIFYING THAT THE TANK IS FULL. THE FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND SURROUNDING PEOPLE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFILL THE TRUCK. I FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT OTHER DURANGO'S ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM UNDER NHTSA RECALL 09V003000 AND 05V034000. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. MY DEALER, ORANGE PARK DODGE, DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WHICH IS THE SAME PART RECALLED ON OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN BEFORE IT CAN BE REPLACED. SINCE CHRYSLER IS CHANGING THE PART FOR FREE ON RECALLED VEHICLES, BUT MY 2005 DURANGO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS ALSO INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE TANK WOULD LEAK OUT IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT SINCE THE CHECK VALVE IS NOT CLOSING AS DESIGNED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH I BOUGHT NEW AND NOW HAS 43500 MILES. FOR THE PAST MONTH, EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK AT ANY STATION AND PUMP, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF CORRECTLY AND THEN GAS COMES POURING OUT OF THE TANK ONTO ANYONE STANDING CLOSE AND RUNS DOWN THE CAR ONTO THE GROUND. I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF GASOLINE COME BACK OUT OF THE TANK. I SEE THIS AS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHICH TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE PLATFORM BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALL SAFETY OR OTHERWISE. SO I THOUGHT I SHOULD CONTACT NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION.

WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK IN MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, GAS WOULD SPILL/SPLASH OUT OF THE TANK INSTEAD OF STOPPING WHEN FULL. WE FINALLY TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID WE NEEDED A NEW GAS TANK AS SOME "FLOW" RELATED PART WITHIN THE GAS TANK WAS BAD. THE SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. WHEN THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIND A PART, THEY INFORMED ME IT WOULD TAKE A MONTH FOR THE PART TO COME IN AS THERE WERE OVER 100 ON BACK-ORDER, ALL RELATED TO THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMED ODD TO ME THAT A LESS-THAN-5-YEAR-OLD CAR WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT HAD TO HAVE ITS GAS TANK REPLACED, BUT IT SEEMED MORE ODD THAT THERE WERE OVER 100 OTHERS AT A MINIMUM LIKE ME AWAITING THE SAME PART. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE WAY THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT WAS BUILT AND/OR INSTALLED.
