Fuel system, Gasoline, Apr 17, 2012
I BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED ON 4/3/2012. AFTER THE PURCHASE I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP. GAS SPILLED OUT OF THE TANK WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE TANK. SINCE THEN, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND FILED A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE GAS TANK FILLER TUBES ON SOME DURANGOS, BUT THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR 2005 MODELS. THIS IS A FEARFUL SITUATION AS I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN. *JS
Fuel system, Gasoline, Structure, Apr 16, 2012
I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. BEFORE FINALIZING PURCHASE, THE DEALERSHIP FILLED THE GAS TANK FOR US. THE SALES MANAGER NOTED THAT HE NEEDED TO CLEAN UP THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE--THAT THE GAS PUMP HAD OVERFLOWED. 2 DAYS LATER WHEN I WENT TO FILL UP THE TANK, I HAD THE SAME ISSUE--THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWED. I HAVE LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ONLY A SELECT SET OF VIN NUMBERS. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. CLEARLY, MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. IT APPEARS THE FIX TO THIS ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. ALSO, IT IS NOW CLEAR TO ME THAT THE 2 SMALL RUST BUBBLES NEAR THE GAS TANK ARE BEING CAUSED BY GAS OVERFLOWING EVERY TIME SOMEBODY FILLS UP THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *JS
Fuel system, Gasoline, Apr 12, 2012
WHEN MY DURANGO IS FILLED WITH GAS IT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE GAS PUMP BUT INSTEAD GAS COMES SPITTING OUT THE FUEL OPENING. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THAT I FILL MY VEHICLE UP. I DO NOT FILL IT UP ANYMORE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT GAS ALL OVER MY CLOTHES, SHOES OR DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND NOT TO MENTION THE PUDDLE OF GAS THAT ACCUMULATES ON THE GROUND. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AS WELL AS DAIMLER-CHRYSLER BUT WAS TOLD BY BOTH THAT MY DURANGO WAS NOT IN THE RECALL NOTICE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AS WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THEY ADVISED ME THAT MY FUEL PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY SOMETHING ELSE ALL TOGETHER WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING IT OUT. I AM ON A LIMITED BUDGET DUE TO UNEMPLOYMENT AND I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ANY PART ON THE FUEL SYSTEM BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE THAT MY INLET VALVE IS FAULTY DUE TO MANUFACTURERS ERROR. IN READING OVER THE RECALLS IT STATES THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED BUT DODGE DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO CONSIDER THAT MAYBE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE 2005 INLET VALVES. I JUST WANT TO FEEL SAFE AGAIN IN MY VEHICLE AND NOT AFRAID TO STOP AND GET GAS. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Apr 10, 2012
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7L. RECENTLY AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE FUEL "SPITS BACK" OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO THE GROUND. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEMS ON THESE AND OTHER CHRYSLER GROUP VEHICLES. I STARTED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY WANTED. AFTER THE INSPECTION THEY DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A TSB # 14-001-09 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM, BUT, MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE VIN RANGE FOR THE REPAIRS. I FEEL IT IS MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $800 FOR THE TANK AND 2.5 HOURS OF LABOR. THE FUEL TANK DOES NOT TAKE THAT LONG TO REPLACE. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THESE VEHICLES REPAIRED? OR SHOULD WE JUST CONTINUE TO SPILL RAW GASOLINE ON THE GROUND AFTER EVERY FILL UP? IF I WERE THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THESE ISSUES I WOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE NEEDED REPAIRS AND FIX IT MYSELF BUT, AS WE KNOW THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE IS ANY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THANKS. *TR

I HAVE DONE AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CLOSE TO 25,000 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES AS THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING.

THE FUEL FILLER SPITS FUEL BACK OUT OF THE TANK WHILE FILLING CAUSING AN OVERFLOW ONTO THE TRUCK, THE GROUND, AND THE PERSON FILLING THE FUEL TANK. DODGE HAS ISSUED SELECTIVE RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT APPARENTLY THERE AREN'T ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY PARTICULAR YEAR TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH AND I THINK ITS COVERED AS A RECALL BUT DODGE SAID IT WAS NOT WHEN I CALLED. I AM GOING TO PRINT OUT THE RECALL NOTICE AND BRING IT IN. HOW CAN YOU HELP ME GET THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM RESOLVED AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET IT ON YOUR WORK CLOTHES AND SMELL LIKE GASOLINE ALL DAY AND LEFT GAS SPILL ON THE CAR, GAS STATION CONCRETE ETC. NOT SO PLEASANT.
