FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS DURING FILL UP. SPILLING TONS OF GAS. BECAUSE OF THE OVERFLOW THERE IS A LOT OF RUST FORMING ON BODY WERE GAS TANK IS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BODY SHOP TO SEE ABOUT GETTING THE RUST FIXED BUT SAID WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THAT WHOLE AREA BECAUSE RUST ATE THROUGH. TO BE HONEST I THOUGHT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG WHEN FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION OR SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE PUMP FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING ON INTERNET. I JUST SPOKE TO DODGE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A NEW PROBLEM THAT DODGE JUST EXTENDED THE WARRENTY ON SO WE CAN GET THE FUEL PART FIXED. MY PROBLEM IS THAT WE ALMOST HAVE THIS PAID FOR AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP FOR A FEW MORE YEARS, HAS LOW MILES, BUT THE RUST AROUND GAS TANK IS BAD. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME HELP FROM DODGE ON GETTING THIS FIXED SINCE IT WAS THEIR FAULT. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jun 3, 2013
WHEN FILLING MY VEHICLE AT THE GAS STATION, THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW OR SPIT OUT OF THE TANK INSTEAD OF STOPPING NORMALLY WHEN THE TANK NEARS FULL LEVEL. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY I AM REFUELING. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE ON THE 05 MODELS BUT THERE STILL IS NOT ONE FOR THE 06 EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE THIS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE; HOWEVER THE PARTS REMAINED UNAVAILABLE FOR THREE MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE AN EXPECTED DATE FOR THE REMEDY PARTS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000...UPDATED 07-10-13 *BF

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS DURING FILL UP.I JUST RECEIVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ON 2/01/2013. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW ON MARCH OF 2006. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTS BUT NOTICE THE PROBLEM AND BLAME THE GAS STATION FOR THEIR PUMP NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME A LOT OF PROBLEM BECAUSE OF GASOLINE SHOOTING OUT OF A TANK TO SPILL ALL OVER ME (LOSS OF CLOTHES,SHOES AND RASH ON MY ARM, HAND,FOOT AND LEGS).NOW MY CAR WHERE THE FUEL TANKS IS LOCATED CAUSED THE PAINT TO RUST ($600 TO FIX) AND MY BUMPER TO DISCOLORED AND BECAUSE I ROTATE MY TIRES MOST OF MY LOG NUTS($200) HAS TO BE REPLACED.I CANNOT QUANTIFY HOW MUCH GASOLINE I LOSS DURING THAT PERIOD.I HAVE CALLED THEM REGARDING COMPENSATION FOR THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY DID BUT NOT COMPENSATE ME. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO PUT FUEL TO FILL UP THE CAR GAS EXPLODES OUT OF TANK. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME WHEN TRYING TO PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE, IT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST A HALF GALLON EACH AND EVERY TIME, IT GETS ALL OVER ME THE VEHICLE THE GROUND. IT'S TO THE POINT WERE I CAN'T EVEN FILL UP, FUEL SHOULDN'T COME OUT WHEN FILLING A VEHICLE UP AND WITH THE SUMMER MONTHS UPON US THIS IS A GREAT HAZARD. I WOULD FIGURE THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AND WOULD NEED TO BE FIXED, 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING FOR THE 2006 DODGE DURANGOS. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jun 26, 2012
ANYTIME WE FILL THE DURANGO AND GAS COMES BACK OUT WHEN THE NOZZLE IS REMOVED. THERE IS SO MUCH GAS THAT COMES OUT THAT WE HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP FROM THE GROUND AND IT HAS CAUSED BUBBLES IN THE PAINT WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN SURFACE RUST. DEALER THAT WE PURCHASED FROM CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD US THERE WAS A CLOGGED FILTER. WE GOT THE FILTERS REPLACED AND WHEN MY HUSBAND FILLED IT UP TODAY 6/26/2012 HE SAID AT LEAST 1/2 GALLON OF GAS CAME BACK OUT OF THE CAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS LEAVING GAS ALL ON THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN KEEP THE GAS FROM COMING OUT IS TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE AFTER EVERY SINGLE GALLON. THE FUEL SENSOR INSIDE THE CAR WILL EVEN REGISTER FULL AT 16 GALLONS OF GAS WHEN THE TANK IS 26 GALLONS. WE ARE WASTING ALL KINDS OF MONEY FROM THE GAS COMING UP, COST OF REPAIRING THE PAINT AND REMOVING RUST AND THE MONEY WE SPENT ON REPLACING FILTERS THAT HAVE MADE THIS ISSUE WORSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT WAS FIXED IN 2005 VEHICLES BUT NOTHING FOR 2006 AND HIGHER EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. SOME DODGE DEALERSHIPS ARE EVEN CALLING OWNERS LIARS SAYING THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANY ISSUE LIKE THIS OR ANY RECALLS EVER FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE DODGE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE. THE GAS THAT SPILLS IS GOING TO END UP CAUSING A FIRE AND KILLING PEOPLE ONE OF THESE DAYS. *JB

GASOLINE SPITS BACK FROM THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP. THE CHECK VALUE IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD EASILY START A FIRE DURING THE FILL-UP BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PROPERLY SHUT OFF. I CAN NOT COMPLETELY FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITHOUT THE DANGER OF SPRAYING GASOLINE EVERYWHERE AT THE GAS STATION. A TSB WAS ISSUED, BUT IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN. *JB

WHEN THE GAS TANK REACHES FULL OR NEARLY FULL THE FUEL "BURPS" OUT SPILLING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL TO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NEARLY 100% OF THE TIME. THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE NOT CLOSING PROPERLY THIS CREATES A RISK OF FIRE AND IS LIKELY THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2005 DURANGO THAT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS REASON. *JB

WHILE FUELING THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND A SECOND OR TWO LATER, ABOUT A HALF A GALLON OF GAS SPRAYS OUT. THIS PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE. I'VE TRIED TO FILL IT UP ON THE LOWEST SETTING AND I'VE TRIED PULLING THE NOZZLE OUT OF THE TANK SOME SO THE (HARMFUL) VAPORS CAN ESCAPE. IT IS HAPPENING ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME AND THIS IS NOT A SAFE THING TO HAVE GAS COMING FLYING BACK OUT AND GETTING OVER THE GROUND, MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE 2005 MODELS AND NOW THE 2006'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS PROBLEM IS WAY OUT OF CONTROL. I WILL BE POSTING MY YOUTUBE VIDEO ALONG WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO SHOW HOW UNSAFE THIS ISSUE IS AND HOW IT IS BEING HANDLED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED.

FUEL SPILL / SPIT BACK DURING REFUELING DUE TO FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV). OCCURS EVERY TIME WHEN REFILLING TANK. GAS HAS SPILLED ON MY CLOTHES AND CAUSED IRRITATION TO MY SKIN. IT ALSO SPILLS ALL OVER GROUND. THIS IS BOTH A FLAMMABLE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. CALLED DODGE CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE IN 2012. THEY ASSIGNED ME A CASE # AND CASE MANAGER.

THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. IT DID NOT DO THIS FROM THE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP. WHEN FUELING THE CAR, IF YOU ATTEMPT TO FILL IT UP COMPLETELY, THERE IS ALWAYS A BACK SPLASH OF FUEL SPLASHING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND ONTO THE CAR, PAVEMENT AND OF COURSE, THE PERSON FILLING UP THE CAR. I AM NEVER ABLE TO COMPLETELY FILL UP THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS A CHANCE OF A FIRE OCCURRING. NOT SAFE AT ALL. MY RESEARCH FOUND THAT 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM (CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000), YET NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO FIX THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2006 MODELS.

BEGINNING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT BEGAN SPEWING GASOLINE EVERYTIME I FILLED MY CAR AT THE GAS STATION. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS SINCE THAT TIME AND EVEN THOUGH DODGE HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM, SINCE MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT LISTED AS ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REPAIR I AM OUT OF LUCK. I FILED AN APPEAL WITH DODGE AND IT SEEMS THE CRITERIA FOR WHETHER OR NOT THE REPAIR WILL BE COVERED IS BASED ON WHETHER I AM A GOOD DODGE CUSTOMER. QUESTIONS SUCH AS DID I USE THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE, DID I OWN OTHER DODGE CARS, ETC. I THINK THAT SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, THAT DODGE SHOULD STAND BEHIND ITS CARS AND MAKE THE REPAIR. THIS ATTITUDE GUARANTEES THAT I WILL NOT BE A DODGE CUSTOMER IN THE FUTURE. *JS
