Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 29, 2012
WHENEVER I PUT GAS IN THE TANK, IT COMES BACK OUT WHEN IT REACHES FULL. IT SPRAYS AND SPLASHES OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. I AVOID THIS NOW BY FILLING THE TANK VERY SLOWLY FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF GALLONS AND TRYING TO LISTEN FOR ANY GAS THAT MAY BE COMING BACK OUT AT ME. IT STILL COMES OUT SOMETIMES. EITHER WAY, THIS ISN'T RIGHT. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 17, 2012
SINCE JULY OF 2011 AND EVERY GAS STATION STOP SINCE THEN MY WIFE AND I AVOID FILLING UP OUR TANK, AS THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP FLOW OF GAS AT ANY PUMP WHEN IT REACHES FULL. INSTEAD IT GURGLES UP AND SPRAY FUEL BACK AT THE PERSON FILLING TANK (ME USUALLY), DOWN SIDE OF VEHICLE AND OF COURSE ALL OVER THE GROUND. AFTER REVIEWING OTHER REPORTS, IT IS APPARENT THERE ARE MAJOR AND CONSISTENT ISSUES OF THIS TYPE FOR THE 2006 DURANGO AND RECALLS FOR SAME ISSUE, ONLY FOR 2005 MODEL. SINCE THEN EVERYTIME WE FILL UP, IT IS A GUESSING GAME HOW CLOSE, AND I RUN BACK AND FORTH FROM PUMP HANDLE TO INTERIOR GAS GAUGE, BACK TO PUMP HANDLE AND SO ON. I'M SURE IT'S AMUSING TO EVERYONE ELSE THAT DOESN'T OWN THIS CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 12, 2012
2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHENEVER YOU PUT FUEL IN THE CAR, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS SPILLING AND SPRAYING OUT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL ON THE PERSON AND THE GROUND. THIS DOES THIS EVERY TIME WHEN FILLING UP THE CAR. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND THIS CREATES SAFETY CONCERNS. DODGE ISSUED A RECALL ON 2005 MODELS RECALL ID#78716 FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT HASN'T ADDRESSED THE ISSUES WITH ANY OF THE 2006 AND 2007'S. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 8, 2012
OVER THE LAST 12 AND 1/2 MONTHS, IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH FILLING THE GAS TANK. EACH TIME THAT I FILL UP MY TANK, THE GAS WILL EITHER SPILL BACK OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR, SPOUT OUT LIKE IT IS SPRAYING IN THE AIR OR IT WILL JUST COME BACK OUT AND ROLL DOWN THE SIDES OF THE TRUCK. THIS HAS BECOME A CONTINUING ISSUE AND WHEN I CALLED THE DODGE PLACE WITHIN MY AREA, THEY CLAIMED TO NOT KNOW OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM OR A RECALL. BUT AS I STARTED MY RESEARCH, I LOCATED MANY PEOPLE IN MY SAME PREDICAMENT. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 7, 2012
EVERYTIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK FOR THE PAST YEAR IT SHOOTS MORE THAN A FOOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 26, 2012
EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK, THE NOZZLE DOESN'T SHUT OFF, AND GAS GOES ALL OVER ME AND THE GROUND. NOT TO MENTION ON THE PAINT OF THE CAR,CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE PAINT. ALSO IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AT A GALLON A WEEK ON THE GROUND. THE 2005 MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON, SEEMS REASONABLE TO RECALL THE 2006. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WHERE A SPARK COULD END UP CAUSING AN EXPLOSION. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 29, 2012
EVERY TIME THIS VEHICLE IS FILLED TO FULL IT SPEWS GAS OUT OF THE TANK AT THE PUMP OPERATOR RESULTING IN GAS ON THE PERSON FUELING VEHICLE. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL SERVICE STATIONS THIS IS NOT A PUMP ISSUE THE ISSUE IS WITH THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL STATION ATTENDANTS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THEM. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY BURNED BY A SPARK. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 23, 2012
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE LAST YEAR MY FUEL TANK SPRAYS OUT GAS AFTER THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF. EVEN IF I DON'T USE THE GAS PUMP AUTO SHUTOFF WHILE FILLING AS SOON AS THE TANK IS FULL IT SPRAYS GAS OUT AND ALSO POURS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. I ALWAYS NEED TO TAKE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID AND WASH OFF MY VEHICLE AND POUR IT ONTO THE GROUND SO THERE IS NOT A PUDDLE OF GAS SITTING ON THE GROUND. NOW I ONLY FILL MY TANK 1/2 FULL WHEN FUELING TO AVOID THIS ISSUE. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 15, 2012
GAS SPEWED ALL OVER ME AND MY VEHICLE (WHILE PUMPING GAS) AFTER THE TANK REACHED FULL. IT HAS DONE IT EVERY TIME I'VE FILLED IT UP SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 5, 2012
FUEL SPEWS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AFTER THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF STOPS FUEL FLOW INTO THE TANK. THERE IS A ONE OR TWO SECOND LAG BEFORE THE FUEL SPEWS OUT AFTER SHUTOFF. FUEL SPILLS ONTO THE CAR, THE GROUND AND THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK IF THEY HAPPEN TO BE REMOVING THE PUMP NOZZLE AT THAT MOMENT. THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE FILLUP SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 27, 2012
MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SHOOTS GAS OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2009 AND I JUST FOUND OUT YESTERDAY WHEN GETTING A RECALL (WIPERS) FIXED THAT A RECALL FOR 2005 HAD THE ISSUE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO MODELS. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 23, 2012
WHILE FILLING UP WITH GAS, GAS STARTED SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK. I WAS COVERED HEAD TO TOE IN GAS AND IT WAS FLOWING DOWN THE PAVEMENT AT THE GAS STATION. WHAT IF SOMEONE HAD DISCARDED A LIT CIGARETTE? I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF THE DODGE DURANGO'S. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED! IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE THEN. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 23, 2012
EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED GAS SPILLS FROM THE TANK. IT SHOOTS TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND GETS ON MY HANDS, LEGS, SHOES, SIDE OF CAR AND GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. THIS EFFECTS THE ENVIRONMENT, MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE GAS THAT IS LEFT ALL OVER MY CAR, MYSELF AND THE GROUND. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 18, 2012
FILLING GAS TANK. WHEN THE PUMP KICKS OFF AT FULL I GET GAS KICKING BACK OUT OF TANK. ACTUALLY ITS ALOT OF GAS ALL OVER SIDE OF VEHICLE AND GROUND. IF IM HOLDING GAS NOZZLE I GET GAS ON MY ARM. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND DON'T KNOW IF PREVIOUS OWNER MADE COMPLAINTS. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I FILL TANK. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 12, 2012
WHILE FUELING OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WHEN THE VEHICLE TANK BECAME FULL THE FUEL NOZZLE ON THE PUMPED KICKED OFF, BUT THEN FUEL BEGAN SPEWING OUT OF THE VEHICLE FUELING SPOUT DUE TO AN APPARENT FAILURE OF THE TANK VALVE FLAP THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS OCCURRENCE. APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TO 1/2 OF A GALLON OF GAS SPEWS OUT EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, MOSTLY ON THE CAR, BUT ALSO ON MINE OR MY WIFE'S HANDS AND SHOES. THIS IS PROBABLY THE 90-100TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OUR VEHICLE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN LATE 2006, AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2006 DURANGO OWNERS ON THIS SITE AND THE DODGE DURANGO CLUBS WEB SITES THAT COMPLAIN OF THE SAME FAILURE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE 2005 DURANGO WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME FAILURE, BUT THE 2006 HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A FIRE OR SOMEONE GETTING HURT OR KILLED TO GET THIS CORRECTED. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE NEW FOR THIS OCCURRENCE TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK UP. THE DEALERSHIP IGNORES THE ISSUE, AND CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED, AND MAY REFUND ME IF IT IS FOUND TO BE A FAULTY PART. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $600 THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO DO THIS WORK (DRAINING AND REMOVING THE TANK). SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND HELP US OUT WITH IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR A FIRE IS CAUSED BY IT. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 12, 2012
THE LAST TWO TIMES THAT I HAVE FILLED UP MY DURANGO SEVERAL OUNCES OF GAS WILL COME SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK JUST BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF. I'M AFRAID THIS COULD CAUSE QUITE THE FIRE IF A SPARK IGNITES IT. *TR

OWN DURANGO BUILT JAN 2006, GAS IS PUT IN IT, CLICK OFF NOZZLE, GAS COMES BACK OUT FORCEFULLY OVER THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND MYSELF. IT IS TERRIFYING AND DANGEROUS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE 2005. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT. I BARELY DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM SO TERRIFIED TO PUT GAS IN IT. I TRIED TO EMAIL DODGE AND THE EMAIL DOES NOT GO THROUGH. I CALLED ON THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS FOR THE 2005 AND I CAN HAVE THE DEALER FIX IT AND MAYBE THEY WILL HELP. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE PART ALONE IS $550 AND I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY AND I DON'T HAVE 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. HERE IS THE RECALL: JANUARY 2009 -- CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 19,024 MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES. 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. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. VEHICLES FOUND TO HAVE A SUSPECT INLET CHECK VALVE WILL HAVE THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

EVERY TIME AT FILL UP WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, WHEN THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF FUEL SHOOTS/SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK OPENING. DOING RESEARCH ON LINE I'VE DISCOVERED MANY OTHER DODGE DURANGO'S WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN A TSB # 14-001-12 AND NHTSA REF. # 10043594 ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND DURANGOS WITH CERTAIN VIN#S HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH THIS TSB. I THOUGHT ALL 2006 DURANGOS WOULD BE FIXED WITH THIS TECH. SERVICE BULLETIN. WHEN I INQUIRED AT THE DEALER ON 6/9/12 ABOUT HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED I WAS TOLD MY VIN # WAS NOT COVERED IN THE TSB. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAD A REP. CALL ME AND ASK WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THAT SHE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. I REFERRED TO THE TSB NOTICE AND SHE STILL ACTED LIKE SHE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALL 2006 DURANGOS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON PARTS AND REPAIRS LISTED IN TSB 14-001-12. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD VERY WELL RESULT IN FIRE AND DEATH. *TR
