WE HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT SPITS OUT FUEL WHENEVER YOU FILE THE GAS TANK. I AM AWARE OF SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND EXACT PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS DEFECT IS GONG TO CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY FROM GAS CONTACTING SKIN OR EYES, OR POSSIBLY A FIRE SITUATION THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED SOMETIME IN 2010. DODGE IS SHOWING NO RECALL, HOWEVER, I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. *TR

WHILE FUELING MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED LAST NIGHT, THE FUELING NOZZLE CLICKED OFF AT 19.6 GALLONS AND THEN APPROXIMATELY 1/4 GALLON OF GAS SPILLED BACK OUT OF THE FUELING INLET OF THE VEHICLE GETTING ON MY HAND, FEET, CAR AND GROUND.

APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF A GALLON OF FUEL SPILLED OUT ONTO ME, THE VEHICLE, TAIL PIPE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD, AND DEFINITELY A CHEMICAL BURN ON MY HANDS AND UNCOVERED FEET. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 MODEL YEAR, BUT THE DEALER SAID MINE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. *TR

FUEL FILL-UP WORKED FLAWLESSLY UNTIL ~45K. EVERY FILL-UP AFTER THAT (NOW AT 58K), ALLOWS GAS TO SPILL OUT ON THE GROUND. THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, AND THEN 1 TO 2 CUPS OF GASOLINE GUSH OUT OF THE FILLER NECK.

GAS SPILLS FROM VEHICLE WHEN WE STOP REFILLING THE VEHICLE. IT SURGES FROM THE TANK DUE TO A DEFECTIVE CHECK VALVE. GAS SPILLS ON THE VEHICLE AND GROUND, CREATING AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS A RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000) FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER HAS EXCLUDED OUR VEHICLE FROM THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH WE ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF EXAMPLES OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX ANY BUT THE FEW VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CHRYSLER JUST ADVISED US TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED ON OUR OWN, SEND THEM THE BILL, AND THEY WILL CONSIDER REPAYING US. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM, BUT ARE EVIDENTLY DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO NOT FIX OUR VEHICLE, ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER SIMILARLY AFFECTED VEHICLES.

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. EVERYTIME I FUEL THE VEHICLE GAS SPILLS FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN IT NEARS THE FULL POINT. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHETHER I AM RUNNING THE PUMP BY HAND OR WHETHER I HAVE THE PUMP IN AUTO FILL. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS ALSO. IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION FUEL COMES OUT WITH ENOUGH PRESSURE TO COVER A PERSON FROM THE KNEE AREA DOWN. NOT ONLY AM I COVERED IN GAS BUT THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND BELOW ARE ALSO. THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR. I FEEL LIKE THIS CREATES A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF, MY CHILDREN, AND THE NEXT PERSON TO PULL UP TO THAT PUMP THAT NOW HAS GAS ON HIS TIRES AND SHOES. ALL IT WOULD TAKE WOULD BE A SMALL IGNITION SOURCE TO HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE CHECKED WITH DODGE AND THERE IS NO RECALL COVERING THIS ISSUE FOR MY YEAR MODEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON ON DURANGOS BETWEEN THE 2005-2007 YEARS. THE 2005 YEAR HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A DEFECT FOR RECALL. WHY HAVEN'T THEY REALIZED ALL OF THE YEARS ARE? *TR

06 DODGE DURANGO FUEL TANK NOT CENSORING AND SPILLING OUT GASOLINE WHEN A FULL TANK IS REACHED. THE FIRST TIME IT DONE IT, I WAS OUT SEEING PATIENTS AND THE GASOLINE SPILLED OUT ON MY JEANS. I HAD TO STOP AT A WALMART THAT WAS LUCKILY NEARBY AND PURCHASE A PAIR OF JEANS, SO I COULD CONTINUE WORKING. SINCE THEN I HAVE TO WATCH MY FUEL GAUGE AND WHEN IT RISES ABOVE THE 3/4 LINE I STOP THE PUMP AND EASE THE GAS IN A LITTLE AT A TIME. I LOOK AT THE FUEL GAUGE AND IT HAS A DELAY AS TO WHEN IT REGISTERS THE GASOLINE THAT HAS BEEN PUMPED. THIS IS VERY AGGRAVATING, THE ESTIMATE TO GET IT REPLACED IS ANYWHERE FROM $850 TO $1300. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS I SEE POSTED, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED. ALSO, THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE IDLE SPEED MOTOR SEEMS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING WHICH CAUSES MY 06 DODGE DURANGO TO STOP RUNNING WHILE IN A LOW IDLE AT STOP SIGNS AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN. THIS IS ESTIMATED TO COST $700 TO $800 DEPENDING ON WHICH COMPUTER IS BAD. THIS IS OF MOST PRIORITY SINCE I DRIVE TO OTHER LOCATIONS FOR MY WORK. *LN
