I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH APPROXIMATELY 51,000 MILES. WHEN I FILL THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE GUSHES OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING WITHIN A SECOND OR TWO AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL STARTING A FEW MONTHS AGO. IT IS THE SAME THING THAT THE 2005 DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR WHICH DODGE SHOULD BE HELP ACCOUNTABLE. THE 2005 RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 AND 09V003000 IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT DODGE AND NHTSA IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. PLEASE TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION FOR A RECALL. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 6, 2011
FUEL SPRAYED OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER FILLING THE TANK TO FULL AND NOZZLE CLICKED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I NO LONGER FILL UP ALL THE WAY TO PREVENT ANY MORE OVERFLOWS AND POTENTIAL FIRES. PROBLEM IS SAME AS 2005 RECALL BUT DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR WITHOUT A RECALL FOR 2006 DURANGO. *TR

REFERENCES RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V003000 FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL SYSTEM. MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS THE SAME DEFECT AS LISTED IN THE 2005 RECALL. A LOCAL DODGE DEALER HAS INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED THE DEFECTED FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE AND STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY IN MY DURANGO. DODGE WILL NOT COVER THE TOTAL COST OF THIS SAFETY REPAIR SINCE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2006 AND DODGE TOLD ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. I AM URGING THE NHTSA TO RE-ELEVATE THE 300+ COMPLAINTS AND EXTEND THE RECALL TO THE 2006 DURANGO AND OTHERS. MY 2006 DURANGO FUEL SYSTEM DEFECT BEGAN IN JUNE 2010 WITH THE MOST RECENT HAZARDOUS INCIDENT OCCURRING IN DECEMBER 2010. THE SHUT OFF SEEMS TO HAVE DECLINED TO THE POINT THAT THE GAS NOW SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SAFETY MATTER. I BECAME COVERED IN GASOLINE AS THE GAS SPRAYED LIKE A HOSE OUT ONTO MY COAT AND HAIR. MY HAIR LATER TOUCHED MY EYE AND MY EYE WAS STINGING FROM WHERE THE GAS MUST HAVE TOUCHED MY CONTACT LENS. MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME AT THE TIME AND WE BOTH HAD TO SMELL THE POTENT FUMES FROM THE GAS ON MY CLOTHES. I HAD TO THROW MY FLEECE COAT IN THE TRASH. I AM FORTUNATE I DID NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH A SPARK OR IT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT MY CLOTHES ON FIRE. THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF COLD WEATHER AND STATIC ELECTRICITY IS A REALITY WITH GASOLINE. I AM ALARMED THAT DODGE WOULD NOT SUBMIT A RECALL ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AFTER 2005. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I CANNOT FILL MY DURANGO GAS TANK TO THE FULL MARK WITHOUT THE ERUPTION OF GAS COMING FROM THE TANK. IT STARTED OUT AS A SPILLAGE BUT NOW IT SPILLS AND SPRAYS OUT. OTHER OWNERS SHOULD BE WARNED SO THAT A FIRE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH DOES NOT OCCUR.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL FILLING IN 2006 DODGE DURANGO'S. WHEN FILLING, FUEL BACKWASHES OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING AFTER THE PUMP STOPS FUELING. THIS OVERSPILL OCCURS EVERY TIME, AND ALSO TIMES WHEN I TRY TO STOP FUELING BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL. IT IS DANGEROUS, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DON'T FILL THE DURANGO VERY OFTEN (I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH), BUT STARTED TO OCCUR LAST YEAR. *TR

THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. *TR

THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED FROM THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, I GOT COVERED IN GAS BECAUSE THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 05 MODELS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, YET DODGE WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 06 MODELS. DEALERSHIP SERVICE SAID THAT THE NEW TANK WILL COST OVER $600 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS THERE IS NO FLAP TO CLOSE THE HOLE WHERE YOU STICK THE GAS NOZZLE IN, SO IF THAT IS LEFT OPEN, WOULDN'T GAS POUR OUT IN THE CAR WERE TO BE OVERTURNED? *TR

IF STANDING HOLDING THE NOZZLE, I HAVE BEEN SPRAYED WITH GASOLINE. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT EVERY FILL UP, REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION I'VE TRIED.

WE BOUGHT A USED 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SOON AFTER OUR PURCHASE. WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE SEVERAL THINGS FIXED VIA RECALLS BUT WHAT IS MOST CONCERNING TO ME IS THE GAS TANK OVERFLOW PROBLEM WE HAVE BEEN HAVING. I WENT ONLINE TO LOOK UP RECALLS AND FOUND THE 2005S WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THE 2006S DO NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER/DODGE AND THEY AGREED TO PAY HALF OF THE 950.00 THAT IS WAS GOING TO COST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WE HAD TO SEND THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT AND WORK ORDER FROM THE DEALER WHICH WE DID. THAT WAS BACK IN APRIL AND WE STILL HAVE YET TO BE REIMBURSED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS MYSELF. THE GAS SHUTOFF VALVE CLICKS OFF BUT GASOLINE SPITS OUT ALL OVER ME, THE CAR, AND THE GROUND EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL IT. IT HAS ALSO SPLASHED IN MY EYES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IF ANYBODY WERE TO BE SMOKING OR HAVE A CELL PHONE THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS BODILY INJURY. SINCE DODGE FEELS IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM I AM READY TO RALLY THE TROOPS TO SUE THEM. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND GET MY MONEY BACK FROM WHAT THEY SHOULD BE REPAIRING BEFORE SOMEBODY BLOWS UP. HERE ARE SEVERAL MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING.

2006 DODGE DURANGO SPEWS GAS FROM FILLER TUBE WHENEVER WE FILL IT. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A FLAP VALVE IN GAS TANK, AND SAID THE TANK SHOULD BE REPLACED (APPROX. $600). AT HER SUGGESTION WE REPORTED PROBLEM TO DODGE. THEY TALKED DIRECTLY TO SERVICE MANAGER AND AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR, MINUS A $100 DEDUCTIBLE. VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WE HAD NO EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL TIMES PREVIOUSLY, AND THAT DODGE HANDLES IT ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. GIVEN THE NIGHTMARES REPORTED BY OTHER 2006 DURANGO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, WE PAID THE $100 AND GOT A NEW TANK INSTALLED. THE NEW TANK (AND FLAP VALVE) RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. WE STILL BELIEVE THAT DODGE SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE ENTIRE REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS AND THE SEVERITY OF THE SAFETY ISSUE, BUT A $100 LOSS IS BETTER THAN A $600 LOSS FOR OUR FAMILY. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT DODGE WILL ISSUE A RECALL FOR 2006 AND LATER DURANGOS BEFORE THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR FIRE. *TR
