FUEL OVERFLOWS (SPRAYS BACK) FROM FUEL TANK WHEN FILLING. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Nov 24, 2009
GAS COMES OUT OF TOP OF GAS FILL AFTER THE AUTOMATIC PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS WAS A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THE 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WHICH HAD A LIMITED RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL INLET ALL OVER ME AND THE GROUND. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, May 17, 2009
I OWN A 2007 DURANGO. ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN FUELING UP, WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL, GAS WAS BLOWING OUT OF THE FILL VALVE WHILE THE GAS NOZZLE WAS STILL IN THE FILL VALVE. I TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT IT, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER BASICALLY BLEW ME OFF, LIKE IT WAS MY FAULT. I STARTED WATCHING WHETHER THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK UPON FILLING UP MATTERED--IT DID NOT. THE FUEL WOULD SPILL OUT NO MATTER IF THE TANK WAS ON EMPTY, 1/4 FULL, 1/2 OR 3/4 FULL. I TRIED FUELING UP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING THINKING HEAT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT--IT DIDN'T THE FUEL STILL SPEWED OUT. THESE THINGS WERE TRIED AS A RESULT OF STATEMENTS MADE BY THE SERVICE MANAGER. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Nov 12, 2007
I HAD BEEN NOTICING THAT WHEN I WOULD FILL UP MY DURANGO, WHEN IT GOT TO THE TOP, IT WOULD SPILL OUT ALL OVER MY CAR AND ON THE GROUND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT IT TO DISCOVER WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY THING AND ADVISED ME TO CALL THE NUMBER LISTED 1-800-853-1403. I WAS TOLD BY THE PERSON ON THE ON THE OTHER END THAT MY DURANGO WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. I PROCEEDED TO TELL HER EVEN THOUGH WHEN THIS VERY RECALL IS EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR IS DOING AND IT IS A 2005 MODEL. SHE SAID NO. WELL I AM NOW HAVING TO HAVE THIS SAME RECALL ISSUE FIXED AND PAID FOR OUT OF MY OWN POCKET BECAUSE YOU DON'T BELIEVE MY MECHANIC. HE WILL BE SUBMITTING THIS ON THE BILL AS TO WHAT HE HAD TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I TRIED DOING THIS THE NICE WAY BUT NO ONE ON THE OTHER END WOULD LISTEN. GO FIGURE. I WILL ALSO BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AS WELL. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 DODGE DURANGO ON 9/21/07 FROM HATCH MOTOR COMPANY IN SNOWFLAKE, AZ. I HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 1/2 WEEKS WHEN IT STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS AND I REPORTED IT TO THE COMPANY AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. THE GAS GAUGE, HAZARD LIGHTS, SIGNAL LIGHTS, HIGH AND LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN, THEY CHECKED IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLUSTER BOX AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW ONE. I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE HOME. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ME ONE UNLESS I PURCHASED THE "CHRYSLER CONTRACT" OR UNLESS I PAID FOR ONE. I DID NOT HAVE ANY MONEY AT THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD TO MAKE A DOWN PAYMENT FOR THE VEHICLE. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION TO THEM AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT PROVIDE ONE FOR ME. THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAD TO DRIVE MY TRUCK BACK HOME WHICH IS OVER 250 MILES IN THE DARK WITH MY THREE CHILDREN. THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME IN ANY WAY. I THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT THIS TO YOU DUE TO THE SERIOUS HAZARD AND THEY LET ME DRIVE IT HOME. *TR
