2006 DODGE DURANGO - EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK TO FULL, AFTER IT KICKS OFF, GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK AND GOES ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT SPRAYS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ON TO WHOEVER IS FILLING UP THE TANK. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AS GAS HAS SPRAYED ON TO MY FACE AND MOUTH. I HAVE SEEN DODGE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH EARLIER YEARS AND HAS RECTIFIED THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE FOR 2006 MODELS. I HAVE TO SLOWLY FILL UP THE TANK AND TRY TO QUIT BEFORE IT REACHES FULL TO AVOID THE GAS SPRAYING ON ME. THIS IS ONGOING AND NOT JUST A SINGLE INCIDENCE. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jun 21, 2010
DURING EVERY FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, GAS SPITS OUT OF THE TANK OF MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION OR WHICH PUMP I USE. I HAVE TRIED PULLING THE PUMP OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUELING TO VENT THE TANK AND THIS DOESN'T WORK EITHER. THERE WAS A RECALL OF 2005 DODGE DURANGOS FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT CORRECTED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL, THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND A RUSH OF GAS SPILLS OUT. THE DODGE DEALER SAYS IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL COVERING THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER VEHICLES. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2005 DURANGO'S BUT NOT 2006'S. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET AND FIND MANY 2006 DURANGO OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE AN EXPLOSION DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GAS SPRAYING OUT. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY WERE "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM, BUT IT HAPPENS AT EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT EVERY GAS STATION THAT I HAVE BEEN USING. *TR

EVERY TIME I GAS UP MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF FROM BEING FULL, BUT A COUPLE SECONDS LATER, GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE TANK WITH THE NOZZLE STILL IN PLACE, USUALLY SPRAYING MYSELF OR MY WIFE AND GASOLINE WITH THEN RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR CAUSING ISSUES WITH PAINT, BUT ALSO LEAVING A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE. I FEAR THIS IS A HAZARD, NOT ONLY FOR THE REASONS OF A POSSIBLE FIRE, BUT I FEAR THAT THE GASOLINE ON MYSELF OR MY WIFE WILL IGNITE OR THAT IT WILL OTHERWISE CAUSE RESPIRATORY OR SKIN ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED (OF COURSE). I FEAR NO RECOURSE WITH DODGE, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I KNOW THIS HAPPENS TO MANY MANY OTHERS. *TR

I TRIED MANY GAS STATIONS TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT THE PUMPS FAULT AND FOUND IT HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS.
