MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO ST STARTED SPEWING FUEL OUT THE FILLER NECK WHEN I'M FILLING THE TANK. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN THE TANK REACHES ABOUT HALF FULL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR ISN'T COVERED UNDER ANY CAMPAIGNS AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS CONDITION IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE FUEL TANK. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RELATED RECALLS OF SIMILAR FAULTS, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR THAT CHRYSLER WON'T STAND BEHIND THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I'M NOW ALWAYS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN I HAVE TO FILL MY GAS TANK. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SPLASHES GAS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN REFUELING. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN $1111 REPAIR ON AN ISSUE ADDRESSED IN A LIMITED RECALL. WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT PART OF THIS RECALL WHEN IT IS HAVING THE RECALL PROBLEM? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, GAS SPLASHING OUT OF THE TANK, ONTO THE TRUCK, THE GROUND AND MYSELF. *TR

WHEN FUELING, AS THE TRUCK REACHES A FULL TANK IT WILL SPEW GAS AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. MY VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY INCLUDED IN THE FIRST RECALL, AND MY REPLACED TANK WORKED WELL FOR A FEW YEARS. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND HAS CONTINUED AT EACH FILL. FOR ME IT'S NOT AN ISSUE BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MUCH I CAN PUT IN BEFORE HITTING FULL.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SPRAYS GAS OUT OF THE GAS TANK EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY CAR. DESPITE THAT FACT THAT THERE IS A OPEN RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK FILTER FOR THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO, CHRYSLER/DODGE SAID THAT MY SUV DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL SINCE IT HAS A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER. THEREFORE, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR EXHIBITS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE OUTSTANDING RECALL AND ALSO PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE CHRYSLER/DODGE IS UNWILLING TO INCLUDE MY SUV AND COUNTLESS OTHERS IN THE RECALL AND INSTEAD IS SAYING THAT I NEED TO FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE AND THE CHARGE IS $1665.00. *TR

SUMMARY: FUEL ESCAPES FROM VEHICLE AT THE END OF REFUELING. CONSEQUENCE: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. REMEDY REQUESTED: HAVE DEALER REPLACE THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE, AS IN THE RECALL OF THE SAME DESCRIPTION FOR OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS - NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID #09V003000, CHRYSLER RECALL #H45. PREVIOUSLY MADE A FEW ATTEMPTS TO GET CHRYSLER DEALER IN BURLINGTON, NJ TO EFFECT REPAIR, BUT CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER [XXX]CLAIMED HE COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I WAS NOT WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN HE ALLEGEDLY ATTEMPTED TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. [XXX] WAS UNTRUTHFUL WHEN I CONFRONTED HIM LAST YEAR ABOUT CHRYSLER CORPORATE KNOWING OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER. NO THAT I'VE FOUND THE NHTSA WEBSITE INFO AND THE H45 RECALL INFO, I MADE ANOTHER ATTEMPT: I CONTACTED CHRYSLER. CASE MANAGER "[XXX]ASSIGNED ME CASE #[XXX] ON APRIL 25, 2011, BUT TOLD ME ON APRIL 28, 2011 THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A COPAY FOR THE REPAIR. I OBJECTED TO A COPAY, AND TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTING NHTSA. THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT CONTACT. CAN YOU ASSIST ME?

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH HAS HAD A FUEL ISSUE FROM THE DAY WE GOT IT. ALMOST EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK, GASOLINE CONTINUES TO SPILL OUT OF THE NOZZLE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN WE FILL UP WITH THE OLDER STYLE PUMPS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE PLASTIC SLEEVES ON THEM. MY INVESTIGATION REVEALED A RECALL FOR THE INLET VALVE BUT CHRYSLER/DODGE SAYS MY VIN SERIES IS NOT COVERED. THIS ISSUE OBVIOUSLY ENCOMPASSES MORE VEHICLES THAN THE RECALL INDICATES. CHRYSLER STATED THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THE MATTER BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A 95 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC AND IF IT WAS THE FUEL INLET VALVE.. IT WOULD REQUIRE "CUSTOMER PARTICIPATION" TO FIX. THEY ARE WILLING TO ASSIST BUT TELL ME I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BETWEEN 100 AND 500 DOLLARS OF THE REPAIR COSTS PLUS THE 95 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I WISH TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS VERY CONCERN. DODGE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THE VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. IT MAKES LITTLE SENSE THAT SOME 2005 DURANGO'S ARE RECALLED BUT MY PARTICULAR ONE IS NOT WHEN THE ISSUE IS THE SAME. PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE AFTER THE FUELING NOZZLE IS CUT OFF SEVERAL OUNCES OF FUEL SPILLS/SQUIRTS OUT FROM THE TANK. FAILURE BEGAN OCCURRING AROUND 40K MILES. USING DIFFERENT FUELING SITES STILL HAS SAME RESULT. STOPPING FUELING AS TANK NEARS FULL HAS SAME RESULTS. THIS WILL OCCUR EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FUELED UNLESS FUELING IS STOPPED PRIOR TO TANK BECOMING CLOSE TO CAPACITY. RECALL E01 COMPLETED ON VEHICLE ON 7/15/2005 SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. HOWEVER, VEHICLE TESTED AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE/INDICATED AT THE TIME. THE SYMPTOMS MENTIONED ABOVE ARE THE EXACT SAME AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL. NUMEROUS OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ARE LISTED WITH NHTSA. DEALER INDICATED THEY WOULD PERFORM TEST AGAIN FOR A FEE AND CONSULT MANUFACTURER REGARDING REPAIR COVERAGE. MY FEELING IS THIS IS A RESULT OF THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART INDICATED IN THE RECALL AND IT WAS JUST NOT DETECTED DURING INITIAL RECALL INSPECTION. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. CURRENTLY I ONLY FILL TANK TO ABOUT THREE QUARTERS FULL TO AVOID FUEL SPILLING/SQUIRTING OUT. DANGERS FROM THE FUEL INCLUDE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR FUEL CONTACTING SKIN/FACE/EYES. *TR
