I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WITH THE 5.7L MOTOR. EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS IT SPEWS OUT EXCESS GASOLINE. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY GAS STATION. THE VEHICLE HAS 72,500 MILES ON IT AND THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FOR THE LAST 12,000 MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED VARIOUS DEALERS AND I GO THRU THE SAME ROUTINE: VIN REFERENCE, THEN THEY PROCEED TO TELL ME IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, AND THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE, AND TO CONTACT DODGE CORPORATE FOR ASSISTANCE. WHEN I CONTACT CORPORATE I FOLLOW THE STEPS AND THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THEY CANNOT ASSIST ME AT THAT TIME. I CAN NEVER TALK TO A REAL PERSON. I HAVE A FAMILY AND I DO NOT WANT A FIRE LEADING TO MY FAMILIES ENDANGERMENT. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANK ONE YEAR AGO. EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK, AFTER THE NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, GAS SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE CAR ONTO ME AND THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. MAY 2011 A SERVICE SHOP FOUND THAT A SOLENOID HAD FAILED AND REPLACED IT. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE SURGE CANISTER WAS HOLDING GASOLINE, AS IT LIKELY IS FILLED WHEN THE TANK SPEWS GAS BACK OUT. REPLACING THE SOLENOID DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING WITH OTHER DODGE DURANGOS, BUT THAT MY YEAR VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED. ONLY 2005 DURANGOS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER ON MAY 24, AND THE CASE MANAGER CONTACTED ME ON MAY 31 TO REPORT THAT CHRYSLER WAS CHOOSING NOT TO ASSIST IN REPLACING THE FUEL TANK, AND AT THIS TIME HAS NOT RECALLED FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHEN FUELING MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO; THE PUMP WILL CLICK OFF AUTOMATICALLY THEN GAS WILL OVERFLOW FROM THE TANK. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE DAY 1 OF OWNERSHIP. DODGE RECALLED THE 2005 MODEL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED DODGE; AND TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. $1043 PLUS TAX FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. WHY DID THEY RECALL THE 2005 BUT NOT THE 2006 FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD !!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP 2006 OWNERS GET THIS RESOLVED. *TR

WHEN FUELING, IF ALLOWED TO FILL UP, AT THE POINT OF FULL/PUMP CUT OFF, GASOLINE WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILL TUBE AROUND THE NOZZLE AND CREATE A LARGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, BUT HAS SINCE BECOME AN EVERY TIME OCCURRENCE. NOT ONLY AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD, THIS POSES SERIOUS RISKS TO THE PASSENGERS (ESP. CHILDREN)

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE, LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK, DOES NOT WORK. THIS ALLOWS FOR FUEL TO SPLASH OUT OF THE TANK EACH TIME YOU FILL THE TANK. FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I'VE DONE, THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, WHICH RESULTED IN THE RECALL OF SEVERAL THOUSAND 2005 MODEL YEAR DODGE DURANGOS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS IN MODEL YEARS 2006 AND 2007 FOR DODGE DURANGOS, CHRSYLER ASPENS, JEEP WRANGLERS AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AS THE FUEL SPLASH UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT IT MUST BE THE PUMP, BUT NOW THAT IT'S HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES, I'M AM VERY WORRIED AND WOULD LIKE THIS FIXED BY DODGE.

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHEN FINISHED FILLING UP. I CALLED DODGE ON 10/28/2009 TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. DODGE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT ONLY ON THE 2005 MODELS, NOT THE 2006 MODELS. THEY GAVE ME A CASE # AND TOLD ME TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BY MY DEALERSHIP. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO LOOK AT IT. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER I SEE OVER 270 COMPLAINTS HERE ON THE D.O.T. WEBSITE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE ECCO FRIENDLY VAPOR LOCKING GAS PUMPS DO NOT WORK ON MY DURANGO WHEN GAS COMES SPRAYING OUT THE FUEL FILLER NECK ALL OVER THE TRUCK, GROUND, AND ANYTHING NEAR IT INCLUDING PEOPLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED AND I HOPE IT ISN'T MY 16 YR. OLD SON WHO JUST GOT HIS LICENSE. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT OF THE FUEL CHECK VALVE AND THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 2006 MODELS AS WELL. I WILL BE TAKING VIDEOS OF MY NEXT SEVERAL FILL-UPS AS EVIDENCE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO GET SOME ACTION?
