Fuel system, Gasoline, Mar 22, 2009
WHEN FUELING MY VEHICLE, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AT THE END OF THE FILL-UP SPITTING APPROXIMATELY 1 PINT OF GAS EACH TIME. THE CONDITION OCCURS WHEN THE TANK IS SHOWN AS EMPTY OR PARTIALLY EMPTY (I.E. 1/2 TANK). IN ADDITION, THE ISSUE OCCURS WHETHER I MANUALLY HOLD THE GAS PUMP LEVER OR PLACE THE PUMP LEVER ON ITS AUTOMATIC LATCH. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME CONSISTENT OVER THE PAST 2-3 MONTHS WHILE IT ONLY OCCURRED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I JUST TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REVIEW AND THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, 3/19, AND ON 3/22 THE FUEL SPITTING OCCURRED DURING FILL-UP ONCE AGAIN. *TR

WHEN FILLING VEHICLE WITH FUEL AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, AS THE GAS TANK APPROACHES FULL AND THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. IT HAS SPRAYED ME TWICE AND TODAY SPRAYED THE GAS PUMP UNIT AS IT IS UNDER PRESSURE WHEN IT OVERFILLS. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOW I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO THAT I ABSOLUTELY "LOVE" EXCEPT THE FACT THAT THE PAST 12 MONTHS HAS DEVELOPED A PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS (EVEN AT DIFFERENT STATIONS), MY GAS TANK OVER FILLS AND GAS IS "GUSHING" OUT AND A GOOD AMOUNT IS LOST. MY CONCERN IS NOT SO MUCH THE EXPENSE IN WASTE OF EXTRA GAS I NEED TO PAY FOR. BUT, I HAVE GAS DRIPPING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AND IN BETWEEN MY BUMPER FASCIA. AND, THIS ALSO CAUSES A GREAT SCENT OF GASOLINE THAT ALSO SOMEHOW GETS INTO THE VEHICLE, AND LINGERS FOR QUITE A BIT OF TIME AFTERWARDS. I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MAINLY FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY IT HAS GIVEN ME WHILE DRIVING MY 4 YEAR OLD SON. HE HATES THE SMELL OF GAS. I NOW FILL UP WHEN I DO NOT HAVE HIM IN THE TRUCK. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVER A RECALL ID# 58886 WHICH SEEMS TO DESCRIBE THE SAME EXACT SITUATION I AM HAVING. UNFORTUNATE FOR ME, THIS RECALL WAS FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S AND NOT 2006. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS SITUATION INVESTIGATED. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO'S BE CONSIDERED AS WELL. IN SPEAKING WITH MY GAS STATION PETROLEUM PUMPER'S, THEY ALL (AT VARIOUS STATIONS SUCH AS SUNOCO AND HESS) MENTION TO ME THAT A LOT OF DURANGO THAT COME IN HAVE THAT PROBLEM. SO, IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL BETTER KNOWING I AM NOT ALONE. THIS IS STILL A CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT REALLY, FOR SAFETY REASON MUST BE RESOLVED. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE MANY INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS AT GAS STATIONS THAT TAKE PLEASURE IN DISCARDING THEIR LIT CIGARETTES ONTO THE GROUND. AND, I WILL BE VERY UPSET (IF I WAS TO LIVE) IF THAT IGNITED LIGHT CAME IN CONTACT WITH GAS THAT HAS SPILLED OUT OF MY VEHICLE. I GREATLY THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY CONCERN. AND, I REALLY AM HOPING THAT YOU CAN HELP TO RESOLVE MY SITUATION, AND OTHERS IN MY AREA. *TR

GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER HOLE BEFORE TOPPING OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS STATION. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE GAS PUMPS DO NOT DETECT THAT THE TANK IS NEARING FULL.

THE FUEL TANK ON MY DODGE DURANGO SPEWS GAS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND PAVEMENT AT THE END OF FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. THIS BEGAN OCCURRING ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE GAS COULD IGNITE, PLUS IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP (ROGER WILLIAMS DODGE) IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

HI, MY NAME IS [XXX] , AND I NEED SOME HELP. JANUARY 9TH 2007 I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO FROM BUDDY JONES FORD IN GREENWOOD MISSISSIPPI. ON MAY 31ST 2008, THE TRUCK BURN TO THE GROUND. THIS OCCURRED WHILE MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT; SHE BARELY MADE IT OUT OF THE TRUCK IN TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS AT A LOST OF UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN. SO I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SURF THE INTERNET TO FIND INFORMATION ABOUT THIS BRAND OF VEHICLE. I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PARTICULAR SUV HAD AN INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER THAT WOULD OVERHEAT AND SOMETIMES IGNITE INTO FLAMES. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHER CONSUMERS THAT HAD EXPERIENCED THEY'RE DODGE DURANGO'S BURNING TO GROUND, WHILE JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE. SO I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO PLEAD MY CASE. AT THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL, AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES IN QUESTION. THEN THEY AGREED TO SEND A LOCAL CONTRACTED INSPECTOR TO CHECK OUT MY VEHICLE. THE CONCLUSION OF HIS INSPECTION WAS THAT THE TRUCK BURNED THROUGH NO FAULT OF CHRYSLER'S DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PROVE THEM WRONG, OR HAVE IT INSPECTED MYSELF. MY INSURANCE HAD LAPSED AT THAT TIME, AND I KNOW THAT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. BUT NOW I AM STUCK WITH A TRUCK THAT IS NOT USABLE, AND THE COMPANY THAT FINANCED IT IS LOOKING FOR THEY'RE MONTHLY PAYMENT. WITH I CAN NOT AFFORD BECAUSE I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORWARD TO WORK. SO I HAVE DONE A VOLUNTEER REPOSSESSION AND THEY WILL PICK THE TRUCK UP SOON. ONCE THEY GET IT I STILL WILL BE FORCED TO PAY FOR IT THROUGH GARNISHMENT, WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD. IN THE OTHER CASES IN WHICH THIS SAME TRUCK BURNED TO THE GROUND, CHRYSLER DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NOT THEY'RE FAULT EVEN WITH SUCH A RECALL ON THEM. VEHICLES DO NOT JUST BURN UP FOR NO REASON, SO PLEASE HELP DEAL WITH CHRYSLER. ALSO, I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE UNTIL JUNE 16, 2008. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
