MULTIPLE OCCASSIONS DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS - WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AND REMOVING NOZZLE THE GAS SPILLS OUT IN PRETTY LARGE VOLUME. HAPPENED ON LAST 4 OCCASIONS. OTHER DURANGO'S SAME MODEL YEAR ARE SEEING THE SAME THING. NOT SAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL WOULD OVERFLOW FROM THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE GROUND.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS SHOOTS BACK OUT WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I REFUEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FILLER TUBE INLET WOULD NOT CLOSE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED WITH GASOLINE, CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE WHO OFFERED A SMALL DISCOUNT ON THE COST OF REPAIRS. THE CONTACT REFUSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

WHEN GASSING THE VEHICLE, GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AS THE TANK FILLAS OR WHEN I STOP ADDING GAS. *TR

WHEN MY WIFE FILLED UP THE VEHICLE THE GAS SPLASHED BACK ALL OVER HER. HIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME . WE TOOK IT TOO A DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS ALREADY FIXED BUT IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY TANK, AS SOON AS THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, FUEL SPEWS OUT OF THE CAR, ON TO GROUND, AND MYSELF IF STANDING NEARBY. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL EMITTED FROM THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL FILTER CHECK VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUE AS REPORTED IN NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V003000 - FUEL-SPIT BACK PROBLEMS CAUSED BY STUCK INLET CHECK VALVES IN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBES. WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK THE FUEL SPITS OUT. THIS ISSUE OCCURS REGULARLY UPON FILL UP. THE FUEL SPITS OUT ONTO VEHICLE, GAS STATION PAVEMENT, AND CLOTHING. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD TO MYSELF AND TO MY PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE DURING REGULAR FILL UPS. I'VE HAD TO REFRAIN FROM FILLING UP THE VEHICLE TO FULL CAPACITY TO AVOID THIS OCCURRENCE. I CHECKED MY VIN [XXX] FOR RECALL INFORMATION ON DODGE.COM AND MY VEHICLE WAS ERRONEOUSLY NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WE HAD OUR GAS TANK REPLACED ON OUR VEHICLE ON 7/24/08 AND CHRYSLER THEN HAD A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL INLET VALVE ISSUE, WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM THAT WE WERE HAVING. WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT REIMBURSING US THE COST OF THE GAS TANK DUE TO THE RECALL AND THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE THIS MONEY, STATING THAT THEY HAVE REVIEWED OUR CASE AND WILL NOT REIMBURSE US. WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS RECALL, AS WE DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE. WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2008. WE JUST BECAME AWARE OF THE RECALL AND THEREFORE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS SITUATION. DOES THE COMPANY HAVE TO COVER THIS COST DUE TO THE RECALL OF THE GAS TANK AND IF SO IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON THE RECALL? *TR

THE BOLTS USED ON THE MANIFOLD ARE DEFECTIVE AND BREAK OFF INTO THE HEAD OF THE ENGINE CAUSING DAMAGE. DUE TO THIS, THE MANIFOLD IS NOT TIGHT AND SECURE AND CAUSES EXHAUST FUMES TO BE RELEASED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE CAM SHAFT AND CRANK SENSORS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

I HAVE A 2005 DURANGO AND LATELY IT HAS BEEN DYING WITH NO TYPE OF ANY WARNING. IT USUALLY WILL HAPPEN IF I AM TURNING A CORNER, COMING TO A STOP AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, OR GOING THROUGH PARKING LOTS. SATURDAY I HAD A CAR FULL OF KIDS LEAVING A BASEBALL GAME AND I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO CROSS A BUSY HWY IN MY HOMETOWN AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO GO ACROSS THE INTERSECTION OF THE HWY MY DURANGO DIED RIGHT THERE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEADED TOWARD US...I COULDN'T STEER AND HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY WITH THE KIDS IN MY CAR AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND FRANTICALLY TRY TO START THE CAR HOPING THIS WOULD HELP (WHICH THANKFULLY IT DID THIS TIME). THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND EACH TIME IS GETTING MORE AND MORE SCARIER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR ONE OF THESE TIMES MY FAMILY AND I WON'T BE SO LUCKY AND WILL END UP BEING KILLED DUE TO THE DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REVIEWED MANY FORUMS ONLINE AND SEE MANY COMPLAINTS IN THE FORUMS WHERE THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO DODGE'S ATTENTION AND EVEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WITH NOTHING DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED BECAUSE OF THE STALLING OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE CONSUMERS AND HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS NOW. IT HAS A PERSISTENT AND VERY UNSETTLING PROBLEM OF STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH NO CORRESPONDING WARNING LIGHTS ETC. IT JUST DIES AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAIL RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO PATTERN OF ORIGIN EVIDENT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC LANES ACROSS INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAVE UTILIZED FUEL CLEANERS AND CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS ETC. IN A EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT FORTUNATELY..JUST DIED WITHOUT WARNING. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ENGINE PROBLEM COMPLAINT WITH THE DURANGO. TODAY, THIS OCCURRED WITH OVER 3/4 TANK OF FRESH FUEL IN THE TANK. THIS PROBLEM CONSTITUTES AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INITIATES AN INVESTIGATION INTO IT'S CAUSE ( S ) - THANK YOU - RELATED WEBSITE LINK RE: COMMON PROBLEM - HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/2005/ENGINE/STALLING_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML . *TR

THE DEALER STATED THE VALVE VENT SENSOR DEFECTIVE, BUT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. UPDATED 06/20/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IN ADDITION, SHE MENTIONED THAT ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION THE FOUR WHEEL SERVICE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED AND ALL FOR TIRES SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD ABNORMALLY.

WHEN WE FILLED UP AT THE GAS STATION THE CAR DIDN'T PLUG ITSELF WHEN IT GOT FULL--GAS RAN OUT ALL OVER MY HANDS, CAR AND GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT ONE OF THE CARS REGISTERED FOR A RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE--WHICH IT SHOULD BE! THIS IS A FIRE WAITING TO HAPPEN!!!! *TT

FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED. THE SHUT-OFF CANNOT BE RELIED UPON, AND THE TANK CANNOT BE FILLED FULLY. CONTACTED DODGE 800 NUMBER AND DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, ALTHOUGH IT DISPLAYS THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. *TR

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING TOO FAR INTO THE INTERSECTION AS A VEHICLE PAST FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MY VEHICLE STALLED. I HAVE HAD IT STALL MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE EACH TIME MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT UP AFTER THE STALL AND I HAVE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR THE LIKE APPEAR. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS WHEN IM PULLING OUT INTO BUSY FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. *TR

FUEL WILL SPRAY OUT WHEN FUELING IS COMPLETED. I HAD THE RECALL ACCOMPLISHED BACK IN 2006, BUT THIS RECALL DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SPRAY FUEL AFTER EVERY FILL UP. ANOTHER RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ADDING FUEL IT WOULD SPILL ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL SPILL ALSO CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY WAS RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE REFUELING.

UPDATED 07/10/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED A DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYED OUT FROM AROUND THE FUEL FILLER NOZZLE TWO TO THREE FEET IN A CONICAL SPRAY PATTERN AT EVERY FILL-UP AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH HIS SKIN, CLOTHES, FUEL PUMP AND OTHER SURROUNDING AREAS ON THE GROUND CREATING A VERY SERIOUS HEALTH AND FIRE HAZARD. UPDATED 07/12/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED WITH GASOLINE, FUEL WOULD SPRAY BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHEN FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, THE FUEL DOES NOT SHUT OFF... SPILLING FUEL ALL OVER THE GROUND AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR. *TR

WHEN FILLING VEHICLE, AT FULL SHUTOFF, FUEL BLOWS BACK OUT THE FILLER TUBE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 35-40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 75,000.

FUEL SPITTING OUT OF TANK ON FILL UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE FUELING, THE CONTACT NOTICED FUEL SPILL BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THERE WERE TWO RECALLS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP) AND 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY), THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN EITHER RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE GASOLINE TO SPEW FROM THE VEHICLE DURING FILLING. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY FILL UP OF THE VEHICLE AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PREVENT, EVEN ONCE I BECAME AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE GASOLINE EXIST THE VEHICLE WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE THE AMOUNT CAN VARY BUT IS TYPICALLY EQUIVALENT TO ~20 FL OZ. NOT ONLY IS THIS A OBVIOUS FIRE/EXPLOSION RISK, BUT IS ALSO A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL RISK AS THE GASOLINE OFTEN MAKES CONTACT WITH CLOTHES AND SKIN DURING REFUELING. I NOTIFIED DODGE OF THIS ISSUE WAS GIVEN A CASE # HOWEVER WAS NOTIFIED THAT DODGE DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS AN ISSUE AND WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE UNLESS IT IS A RECALL. THERE IS A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE FROM THE INTERNET TO SUPPORT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND THAT MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL SPILLED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

I BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED ON 4/3/2012. AFTER THE PURCHASE I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP. GAS SPILLED OUT OF THE TANK WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE TANK. SINCE THEN, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND FILED A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE GAS TANK FILLER TUBES ON SOME DURANGOS, BUT THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR 2005 MODELS. THIS IS A FEARFUL SITUATION AS I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN. *JS

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. BEFORE FINALIZING PURCHASE, THE DEALERSHIP FILLED THE GAS TANK FOR US. THE SALES MANAGER NOTED THAT HE NEEDED TO CLEAN UP THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE--THAT THE GAS PUMP HAD OVERFLOWED. 2 DAYS LATER WHEN I WENT TO FILL UP THE TANK, I HAD THE SAME ISSUE--THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWED. I HAVE LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ONLY A SELECT SET OF VIN NUMBERS. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. CLEARLY, MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. IT APPEARS THE FIX TO THIS ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. ALSO, IT IS NOW CLEAR TO ME THAT THE 2 SMALL RUST BUBBLES NEAR THE GAS TANK ARE BEING CAUSED BY GAS OVERFLOWING EVERY TIME SOMEBODY FILLS UP THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *JS

WHEN MY DURANGO IS FILLED WITH GAS IT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE GAS PUMP BUT INSTEAD GAS COMES SPITTING OUT THE FUEL OPENING. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THAT I FILL MY VEHICLE UP. I DO NOT FILL IT UP ANYMORE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT GAS ALL OVER MY CLOTHES, SHOES OR DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND NOT TO MENTION THE PUDDLE OF GAS THAT ACCUMULATES ON THE GROUND. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AS WELL AS DAIMLER-CHRYSLER BUT WAS TOLD BY BOTH THAT MY DURANGO WAS NOT IN THE RECALL NOTICE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AS WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THEY ADVISED ME THAT MY FUEL PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY SOMETHING ELSE ALL TOGETHER WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING IT OUT. I AM ON A LIMITED BUDGET DUE TO UNEMPLOYMENT AND I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ANY PART ON THE FUEL SYSTEM BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE THAT MY INLET VALVE IS FAULTY DUE TO MANUFACTURERS ERROR. IN READING OVER THE RECALLS IT STATES THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED BUT DODGE DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO CONSIDER THAT MAYBE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE 2005 INLET VALVES. I JUST WANT TO FEEL SAFE AGAIN IN MY VEHICLE AND NOT AFRAID TO STOP AND GET GAS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL LEAKED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL CAP AND ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FUEL CAP, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP), THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7L. RECENTLY AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE FUEL "SPITS BACK" OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO THE GROUND. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEMS ON THESE AND OTHER CHRYSLER GROUP VEHICLES. I STARTED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY WANTED. AFTER THE INSPECTION THEY DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A TSB # 14-001-09 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM, BUT, MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE VIN RANGE FOR THE REPAIRS. I FEEL IT IS MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $800 FOR THE TANK AND 2.5 HOURS OF LABOR. THE FUEL TANK DOES NOT TAKE THAT LONG TO REPLACE. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THESE VEHICLES REPAIRED? OR SHOULD WE JUST CONTINUE TO SPILL RAW GASOLINE ON THE GROUND AFTER EVERY FILL UP? IF I WERE THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THESE ISSUES I WOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE NEEDED REPAIRS AND FIX IT MYSELF BUT, AS WE KNOW THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE IS ANY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THANKS. *TR

BEFORE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. GAS SPRAYS BACK OUT THE TANK AND GOES ALL OVER PERSON, CAR, AND GROUND. AFTER THE SPRAY OF GAS THE NOZZLE WILL CLICK OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FILLER INLET VALVE WOULD NOT STOP FUEL FROM FLOWING INTO THE FUEL TANK WHEN REFUELING. THE FAILURE WOULD CAUSE GASOLINE FUEL TO BE SPILLED OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE GROUND OR THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,000. UPDATED 06/01/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL WOULD CONTINUE TO EMIT FROM THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE GROUND AND THE CONTACT'S CLOTHING. THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP); HOWEVER THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVES WERE BEING REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

I WAS MAKING A U TURN AND THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF ON ME. I HAD PUT IT ON PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO CAR MAX AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE WHY THE VEHICLE WAS JUST CUTTING OFF. I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED WHERE THE CAR WOULD START AND TURN OFF. JUST TODAY I WAS TRYING TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE JUST CUT OFF.

WHEN REFUELING, IT CAUSES THE PUMP TO STOP SENDING FUEL AND THEN THE FUEL GUSHES OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, NOZZLE, AND GROUND. MINE IS MUCH WORSE THAN THIS EXAMPLE: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=B0-_9WG6DW4 I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN RICHMOND, KY AND THEY SAID MY VIN DID NOT FALL IN THEIR TSB/RECALL FOR THIS VERY SAME SYMPTOM. *TR

MY GAS TANK SPLASHES BACK AT ME WHEN I FILL IT. WHEN I WENT TO GET IT CHECKED OUT I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST THAT IS STATING AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM TO OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS. *JS
