Fuel/propulsion system, May 12, 2014
EVERY TIME THAT I FILL THE FUEL TANK IT SPITS OUT ABOUT 1/4 OF A GALLON OF FUEL. IT IS VERY COSTLY AND VERY DANGEROUS. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 7 AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR. HAVING THIS MUCH FUEL SPILL OUT IS A DANGER, NOT ONLY TO MY FAMILY BUT TO THE OTHERS AT THE GAS STATION. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 11, 2014
FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM THE INLET WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ACTUALLY FILL THE TANK (WHICH I ONLY GET 20 GALLONS INTO A 27 GALLON TANK EVEN WHEN THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON), THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE INLET AS SOON AS THE HANDLE CLICKS OFF. IT'S NOT A SMALL AMOUNT OF OVERFLOW EITHER, IT'S ENOUGH THAT THE FUEL ENDS UP DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND INTO A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS CAUSED THE ONLY SURFACE RUST ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE.
Fuel/propulsion system, May 14, 2013
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD SPEW FROM OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER OR LOCAL MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.
Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 26, 2013
2007 DODGE DURANGO SLT 4X4, STALLING AND ENGINE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THE ENGINE STALLED IT WOULD LOSE ALL POWER AND STOP IN THE INTERSECTION WITH LITTLE TO NO WAY OF CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SEVERAL MORE TIMES IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET SAFELY OUT OF THE ROAD THE ENGINE WOULD NO LONGER START. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITH NO LUCK IN FINDING THE ISSUES. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS IT SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK EVERYTIME IT IS FILLED UP. THIS STARTED AT APPROX 45K MILES. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH DODGE IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 4, 2013
WHEN FUELING, THE FILLER TUBE SPITS OUT ALOT OF FUEL AFTER THE GUN SHUTS OFF. NO MATTER HOW SLOW YOU PUMP IT, YOU CAN'T STOP IT. CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL ON SOME MODELS, BUT NOT ALL. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BURNED OR KILLED. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IS PROBABLY AROUND 2 CUPS. IF YOU CAN HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 4, 2013
I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WENT TO FILL UP THE FUEL TANK. WHEN THE GAS STATION DISPENSER AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, I GOT A LARGE SPRAY OF FUEL BACK OUT OF THE FILLER PIPE THAT SPRAYED OUT ON ME AND ALSO RAN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE FUEL GAUGE, THE TANK WAS NOT COMPLETELY FULL WHEN IT DID THIS. I HAD A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN MY EYE AND HAD TO RINSE IT OUT. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 11, 2012
WAS FILLING UP WITH FUEL WHEN AFTER ABOUT A GALLON THE AUTO SHUT OFF TURNED OFF AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL CAME SHOOTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE TANK WAS NEARLY EMPTY WHEN I BEGAN FUELING SO OVERFILLING ISN'T THE CAUSE. I NOTICED MANY PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AND DODGE HAS DONE SOME RECALLS WITH REGARDS TO THIS. LOOKS LIKE MY VEHICLES VIN ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AT THIS POINT. *TR
Structure, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 24, 2012
EVERY SINGLE TIME WE FILL UP THE TANK ON MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 LIMITED GAS OVERFLOWS. THERE IS ENOUGH FORCE THAT IT USUALLY SPRAYS OUT. I ESTIMATE THAT 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE BODY OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT ONLY EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT BUT ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHER GAS STATION PATRONS! ALTHOUGH NONE IS NOTICEABLE YET, THERE WILL SURELY BE EVENTUAL PAINT DAMAGE ON THE AFFECTED ARE OF THE BODY. *TR
