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?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL BEGAN TO SPILL BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THAT HE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,138 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

FUEL FILLER TUBE OVERFLOWS AFTER FUEL PUMP AT THE GAS STATION HITS THE AUTO SHUT-OFF POINT. NOTIFIED DEALER WHO SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT A PROBLEM LIKE THAT, BUT OFFERED TO LOOK INTO IT FOR A CHARGE. APPROXIMATELY 1-2 CUPS OF FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED. THE FUEL SPRAYS OVER WHOMEVER IS FILLING THE VEHICLE AND IS RUINING THE PAINT AROUND THE FILLER TUBE. THERE IS AN EXTREME FIRE/EXPLOSION DANGER AS WELL AS POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE TO EYES, LUNGS, AND SKIN. THIS IS ALSO DAMAGING TO THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

WE GET DRENCHED WITH GASOLINE WHEN WE FILL UP OUR 2006 DURANGO GAS TANK. WHEN THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, GAS SHOOTS OUT FROM THE FUEL FILL. IN CHECKING WITH DODGE, THEY HAVE EXACT PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2005 DURANGO, WHICH WAS RECALLED. THIS 2006 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TOO. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, NOT ONLY FOR US, BUT FOR THE NEXT FUEL CUSTOMER WHO MAY BE STANDING IN A POOL OF GASOLINE FROM OUR DURANGO.

THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN DRIVING LEAVING US TEMPORALLY BLIND IN THE DARK, AND ALSO THE WIPERS WORK ERRATICALLY, THEY WILL EITHER COME BY THEM SELVES FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN TURN OFF, OR DURING RAIN STORMS THEY WILL WORK ERRATICALLY. THEY WILL WIPE FAST FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN SLOW DOWN TO A 2 OR 3 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN WIPES UNDER HEAVY RAIN WHEN THE SWITCH IS SET TO HI, THEN THEY WILL GO FAST AGAIN FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN SLOW AGAIN. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE DRIVING MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE RAIN. ALSO THE RADIO AUDIO TURNS ITS SELF DOWN WHILE DRIVING WHEN NOBODY TOUCHES THE CONTROLS, AND THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DO NOT CONTROL THE AUDIO. I THINK IT IS ALL A CONNECTED ISSUE WITH A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING WHICH AGAIN I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT DODGE CLOCK SPRINGS BEING FAULTY ON WWW.DODGEFORUM.COM. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2006 DODGE DURANGO, I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL MY MILEAGE HIT 40,000. MY PROBLEM IS WHEN I FILLED MY FUEL TANK THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND GAS WOULD GUSH OUT OF THE TANK. EVERYONE EVEN STRANGERS WOULD TELL ME HOW DANGEROUS THIS WAS, A SPARK FROM ANOTHER CAR OR STATIC ELECTRICITY COULD START A FIRE IF THIS HAPPENED AT THE GAS STATION IT COULD BE DISASTROUS. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THIS HAPPENED I ENDED UP DRENCHED WITH GAS. I WOULD THEN STAND BEHIND MY DURANGO WHEN FUELING. AND STILL END UP SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE BECAUSE IT WAS ALL OVER THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE, THE HANDLE AND PUMP. I CALLED MY DEALER EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENS AND WAS TOLD THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THIS SPILLING GAS PROBLEM AND IF EVERYTHING THAT WENT WRONG HAD A RECALL THEY WOULD MAKE NO MONEY. DOES A FIRE HAVE TO START OR SOMEONE GET HURT OR DIE BEFORE DODGE STEPS UP TO THE PLATE AND ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY. I HAD MY FUEL TANK REPLACED AND WAS TOLD "THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT CAUSED FROM AGE, WEAR AND TEAR IT WAS A MANUFACTURE FAILURE. THE TOTAL COST FOR THIS WAS $1,600.00.

2006 DODGE DURANGO, EVER SINCE TIME OF PURCHASE AT 96,000 MILES EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP AT ANY GAS STATION (HAVE USED OVER TWENTY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO TRY AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM) THE GAS PUMP WILL CLICK OFF, AND AFTER WAITING ABOUT 1 SECOND THERE WILL BE OVER A PINT OF GASOLINE DISCHARGE FROM THE GAS TANK. THIS COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE, AND IS A HAZMAT ISSUE WITH THE GASOLINE BEING DISCHARGED ONTO THE GROUND ON POSSIBLY THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE. ANY QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO GAS TANK OVERFLOW SHOWS THOUSANDS OF RESULTS AND MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THE INSTANCE. DAIMLER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO FOR ME, AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

IT HAS GONE ALL OVER MY WIFE'S ARM ALONG WITH THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF. VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR '05'S BUT NOT '06'S. SAME ISSUE SO WHY NOT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A DEATH TO OCCUR. DODGE SAYS THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS I PAY FIRST TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS AND THEN I STILL HAVE TO PAY $450 OF THE TOTAL BILL!

WHENEVER WE TRY TO FILL GAS THE GAS COMES SPRAYING BACK OUT GOING ON THE GROUND, ON THE SIDE OF THE DURANGO AND ON US. WE HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS GAS STATIONS IN SEVERAL TOWNS, DIFFERENT PUMPS AT THOSE STATIONS AND DIFFERENT KINDS OF GAS. THE RESULT IS ALWAYS THE SAME. CURRENTLY WE TRY TO GUESS HOW MANY GALLONS WE CAN PUT IN AND TRY TO STOP THE PUMP IN TIME BUT THIS IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MANY GALLONS OF GAS WE HAVE PAID FOR THAT WENT EVERYWHERE BUT IN THE GAS TANK NOT TO MENTION ALL THE CAR WASHES WE'VE PAID FOR TO WASH THE GAS OFF THE PAINT. WE'VE EVEN HAD GAS STATION ATTENDANTS APPROACH US ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF GAS ON THE GROUND.
