2005 DODGE DURANGO; GAS SPILLS OUT AFTER FILLING WITH GAS AT GAS STATION. DEALER SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING RECALL FOR OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S THAT ALSO SPILL GAS AFTER FILLING. I LOGGED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR ANALYSIS AT THE DEALER, AND THEN THEY WILL DETERMINE IF AND HOW MUCH TO COVER; IF ANY. THEY SAID ITS NOT COVERED AND THAT THE SUPPLIER OF THE PART THAT HAS FAILED ON THE OTHERS IS DIFFERENT, THOUGH I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ON DISCUSSION BOARDS THAT THEY ALSO ARE NOT GETTING COVERED REPAIRS UNDER A RECALL BECAUSE THEIR VEHICLE'S VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THEY NEED TO ISSUE A NEW RECALL OR EXPAND THIS TO MORE VEHICLES, IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT MORE VEHICLES HAVE THIS SAME SAFETY HAZARD THAT THEY ARE ADMITTING TOO. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. I WANT CHRYSLER TO REPAIR FOR FREE SINCE THIS IS COVERED UNDER RECALL FOR OTHER SAME VEHICLES. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK AND WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE FUEL FILLER NOZZLE CLICKS OFF BUT THEN GASOLINE OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK AND USUALLY SPRAYS INTO THE AIR. THIS HAPPENS 99% OF EVER REFUELING TRIP TO A GAS STATION. THE GAS USUALLY SPRAYS OUT AND GETS ALL OVER THE PERSON REFUELING. I HAD THE DODGE DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX IT. THE DODGE DEALER WANTS APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 28, 2010
WHEN PUMPING GAS, SOMETHING IN THE GAS TANK WILL NOT SHUT OFF THE GAS PUMPING INTO THE TANK. IF YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS EVERYWHERE INCLUDING ON THE PERSON PUMPING GAS, ON THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND AS THE GAS STATION. THIS IS NOT ALLEVIATED FROM CONSTANTLY PUMPING IT BY HAND INSTEAD OF THE AUTOMATIC. OUR DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE COMPLAINTS. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE RISK OF FIRE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GAS JUST FROM FILLING TANK. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR USED VEHICLE. *TW

I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED A FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN# SPECIFIC AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE YET DODGE REFUSE TO MAKE THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT IS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD.*CW

RESEARCH REVEALS THAT CHRYSLER ACTUALLY ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF VIN'S FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S, BUT SINCE MY DURANGO'S VIN DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL, CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS A SAFETY ISSUE, POTENTIALLY REQUIRING ME TO PAY A $700 REPAIR BILL.
