THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT WAS VERY ANGRY WITH ME SAYING THAT I OVERFILLED THE TANK UNTIL I EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT IS GOING ON WITHTHE VEHICLE. HE GOT A MOP HAZMAT KIT AND CLEANED UP THE MESS BEFORE I LEFT. THIS IS A SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD. THE 2005 DURANGO WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THE 2006 IS BEING IGNORED. YOU CAN SEE A VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING ON YOUTUBE BY LOOKING FOR 2006 DURANGO FUELING PROBLEMS. THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE FOR NOTHING TO BE ACCOMPLISHED FOR US OWNERS OF THE 2006 DURANGO. WHAT WILL IT TAKE, A FIRE AND SOMEONE INJURED OR KILLED TO GET THE MESSAGE?

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I FILL UP, THE GAS PRESSURE BUILDS UP IN THE TANK AND SPURTS OUT ALL OVER. I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR IT START GURGLING IN THE TANK. I HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH GASOLINE ON A SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE FIRST FEW TIMES, I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD DONE, OR THE GAS PUMP WHERE I WAS FILLING. BUT I RECENTLY WENT ON 2 TRIPS FROM FL TO NY AND BACK AND IT HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY FILL UP ON BOTH TRIPS WITHIN A MONTH, AS WELL AS FILL UPS IN BETWEEN AND AS I STATED, SOME PRIOR TO. THIS CREATED SEVERAL HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS. GASOLINE ON MY PERSON AND CLOTHING, INHALATION OF THE FUMES CAUSING ILLNESS, GASOLINE ON MY VEHICLE, GASOLINE ON THE PAVEMENT AT THE GAS PUMPS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POSTS ONLINE ABOUT MY EXACT PROBLEM SINCE IT HAPPENED. ONE PERSON IS PERSONALLY DOCUMENTING CASES. HE HAS OVER 120 + CASES HE IS AWARE OF, NOT INCLUDING MINE, THIS YEAR ALONE. THIS IS THE FIRST STEP I HAVE TAKEN AT THIS POINT, AS I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE IF IT IS HAPPENING WITH SUCH FREQUENCY. THESE ARE THE DOCUMENTED CASES JUST THROUGH ONE PERSON ONLINE, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER CASES NOT DOCUMENTED. NOT TO MENTION PEOPLE WHO DON'T FILL THEIR TANKS ALL THE WAY WHO MAY HAVE THE ISSUE AND DO NOT EVEN KNOW IT. DOES SOMEBODY HAVE TO BE BURNED OR OTHERWISE INJURED, OVERCOME BY THE FUMES FIRST? HOW MANY INSTANCES MUST OCCUR BEFORE IT BECOMES A TRUE SAFETY CONCERN? DOES MY CHILD NEED TO FILL THE TANK AND MAYBE SWALLOW THE GASOLINE THAT SPURTS OUT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYTHING IS IN THE WORKS. THE ONE INDIVIDUAL SAYS HE WAS INITIALLY LOOKING AT A $350 REPAIR BILL THAT WAS THEN LOWERED TO $100 AND THEN OFFERED FREE DUE TO HIS COMPLAINTS. I AGREE WITH HIM, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WANT TO PAY HIM OFF TO SHUT HIM UP. MEANWHILE THEY MAKE MONEY OFF WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES WITH MANY PROBLEMS. THIS ONE IS UNIQUE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*KB
