WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH GASOLINE, THE GAS WILL COME SPILLING OUT ONCE THE TANK IS FULL. APPROXIMATELY A PINT OF GASOLINE COMES SQUIRTING OUT, DOUSING THE HANDLE, SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND LEAVING A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY FOR THIS TO NOT HAPPEN IS TO PREVENT FILLING THE CAR GAS TANK. I.E. ONE CANNOT LET THE GAS OVERFLOW MECHANISM DETERMINE WHEN IT IS FULL. A RECALL WAS ALREADY MADE FOR THE 2005 DURANGO UNDER RECALL ID# 05V034000. MY USED 2006 VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS
Fuel system, Gasoline, Mar 13, 2012
EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS IT ERUPTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THE LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT IS THE FUEL TANK FILLER CHECK VALVE. THIS IS LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THE SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. DODGE DID A RECALL ON THE 2005 DURANGO BUT NOT THE 2006 DURANGO. $900 FOR THE PART PLUS LABOR. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GASOLINE, UPON THE FUEL PUMP TURNING OFF, THE DURANGO'S FUEL TANK WILL SPRAY GASOLINE BACK OUT TO THE INDIVIDUAL FILLING UP, AND LEAK FUEL ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP, REGARDLESS OF FILLING STATION. THIS IS DOCUMENTED IN COUNTLESS FORUMS AND VIDEOS ONLINE. THE 2005 DURANGO HAS A RECALL FOR THIS AS DODGE RECOGNIZED THE RISK OF A VEHICLE OR FUEL STATION FIRE. THIS IS DANGEROUS, EASILY REPEATABLE, AND TERRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. AND WORSE YET, DODGE EVEN APPEARS TO BE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY DODGE. *TR

GASOLINE SPEWS FROM FILLER NECK EVERY TIME WHEN I FILL TANK WITH GASOLINE. EVERY FILLING STATION I STOP AT IS THE SAME!! I SPILL GASOLINE ON ME, THE CAR, THE PAVEMENT. THE NOZZLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. IF SOMEONE WERE TO THROW A CIGARETTE TOWARD ME THERE COULD BE A GASOLINE FIRE WITH ME IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. MY DEALER SAYS THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH ME WHEN I FILL MY TANK. I AM 63 YEARS OF AGE, AND HAVE OWNED 15 CARS OR SO, WITH NO PROBLEMS LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURING IS TO TRY AND GUESS WHEN THE TANK IS NEARING FULL AND STOP PUMPING. I'VE READ NUMEROUS ARTICLE ABOUT IDENTIAL PROBLEMS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 DURANGO BUT NO RECALL FOR THE 2006 DURANGO. I'VE CONTACTED DODGE AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT'D I'D BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP 12-31-2111 AFTER DRIVING IT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP I ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM . THE FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF WHEN THE DURANGO WAS FULL BUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE GAS CAME SPRAYING OUT OF THE TANK BUT THE PUMP WAS OFF . IT SPRAYED GAS ALL OVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER ME AND MY CLOTHES IT WAS AWFUL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR AND WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE WE DISCOVERED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TANK THAT CRYSLER/DODGE KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT THERE IS NO RECALL YET FOR THIS YEAR OF THE DURANGO

WHEN REFILLING THE FUEL TANK THE NOZZLE ON THE HOSE FROM THE GASOLINE DISPENSER DOES NOT CLICK ON AND STOP THE FLOW OF FUEL ONCE THE TANK IS FULL RESULTING IN APPROXIMATELY 8 OUNCES OF GASOLINE BEING REGURGITATED BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE PERSON STANDING THERE FUELING THE CAR AND THEN ONTO THE GROUND. IN MY OPINION THIS POSES A GRAVE SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT THIS OVERFLOW MAY IGNITE AND INJURE THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE PLUS CAUSE A RATHER LARGE FIRE WHEN THE VEHICLE AND SURROUNDING ITEMS AT THE STATION ALSO GO UP IN FLAMES.THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS AND I WAS ADVISED LAST FRIDAY (1/13/2012) BY AN ATTENDANT AT T SAM'S CLUB FILLING STATION THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR DURANGOS OF THE AGE OF MINE. I STOPPED BY AVONDALE DODGE (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW) ON MY WAY HOME TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM AND THEY GAVE ME A 800 NUMBER TO CALL THAT I'VE BEEN GETTING A RUN AROUND ABOUT THE PROBLEM SO FAR. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS, AT END OF FILL UP GAS WILL SPEWL OUT ONTO CAR, GROUND, AND MYSELF!! TOOK TO DEALER WAS TOLD CHECK VALVE SEAL HAD DETERIORATED, WOULD NEED TO REPLACE FUEL TANK. REPAIR PLUS LABOR WOULD BE AT LEAST $800. CONTACTED DODGE CHRYSLER BY EMAIL, WAS CALLED THAT DAY. EXCELLENT PR BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM,. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT ENOUGH TO DO A RECALL. TOLD IF I PAY THE FIRST $200 THEY WOULD COVER THE REST, IF A RECALL HAPPENS I WOULD BE REIMBURSED THIS COST. I DO NOT FEEL THAT ANYONE OWNING THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THIS DEFECTIVE REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE ON CAR. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECTIVE NOT CAUSED BY OWNERSHIP. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, DOES SOMETHING SERIOUS HAVE TO HAPPENED TO SOMEONE AND THEIR CAR BEFORE THIS IS TAKEN CARE OF? *TR
