FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHEN FINISHED FILLING UP. I CALLED DODGE ON 10/28/2009 TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. DODGE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT ONLY ON THE 2005 MODELS, NOT THE 2006 MODELS. THEY GAVE ME A CASE # AND TOLD ME TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BY MY DEALERSHIP. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO LOOK AT IT. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER I SEE OVER 270 COMPLAINTS HERE ON THE D.O.T. WEBSITE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE ECCO FRIENDLY VAPOR LOCKING GAS PUMPS DO NOT WORK ON MY DURANGO WHEN GAS COMES SPRAYING OUT THE FUEL FILLER NECK ALL OVER THE TRUCK, GROUND, AND ANYTHING NEAR IT INCLUDING PEOPLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED AND I HOPE IT ISN'T MY 16 YR. OLD SON WHO JUST GOT HIS LICENSE. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT OF THE FUEL CHECK VALVE AND THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 2006 MODELS AS WELL. I WILL BE TAKING VIDEOS OF MY NEXT SEVERAL FILL-UPS AS EVIDENCE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO GET SOME ACTION?

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FUEL TANK WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK. *TR
FUEL FILLER TUBE OVERFLOWS AFTER FUEL PUMP AT THE GAS STATION HITS THE AUTO SHUT-OFF POINT. NOTIFIED DEALER WHO SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT A PROBLEM LIKE THAT, BUT OFFERED TO LOOK INTO IT FOR A CHARGE. APPROXIMATELY 1-2 CUPS OF FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED. THE FUEL SPRAYS OVER WHOMEVER IS FILLING THE VEHICLE AND IS RUINING THE PAINT AROUND THE FILLER TUBE. THERE IS AN EXTREME FIRE/EXPLOSION DANGER AS WELL AS POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE TO EYES, LUNGS, AND SKIN. THIS IS ALSO DAMAGING TO THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

WE GET DRENCHED WITH GASOLINE WHEN WE FILL UP OUR 2006 DURANGO GAS TANK. WHEN THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, GAS SHOOTS OUT FROM THE FUEL FILL. IN CHECKING WITH DODGE, THEY HAVE EXACT PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2005 DURANGO, WHICH WAS RECALLED. THIS 2006 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TOO. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, NOT ONLY FOR US, BUT FOR THE NEXT FUEL CUSTOMER WHO MAY BE STANDING IN A POOL OF GASOLINE FROM OUR DURANGO.
FAULTY VALVE ON FUEL TANK DOES NOT PREVENT GASOLINE FROM SPILLING DURING REFILL. *TR
WHEN RECENTLY FILLING THE GAS TANK ON OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT WITH ABOUT 46K MILES FROM NEAR EMPTY, ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF GASOLINE CAME SPRAYING BACK OUT OF THE FILLER, AND FOR THE REST OF THE DAY THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR HAD A STRONG GAS ODOR, MAKING MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN NAUSEOUS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THIS WEBSITE HTTP://DODGEFORUM.COM/FORUM/2ND-GEN-DURANGO/190747-GAS-FILL-OVERFLOW-ON-MY-06-DURANGO-14.HTML. *TR
THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN DRIVING LEAVING US TEMPORALLY BLIND IN THE DARK, AND ALSO THE WIPERS WORK ERRATICALLY, THEY WILL EITHER COME BY THEM SELVES FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN TURN OFF, OR DURING RAIN STORMS THEY WILL WORK ERRATICALLY. THEY WILL WIPE FAST FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN SLOW DOWN TO A 2 OR 3 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN WIPES UNDER HEAVY RAIN WHEN THE SWITCH IS SET TO HI, THEN THEY WILL GO FAST AGAIN FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN SLOW AGAIN. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE DRIVING MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE RAIN. ALSO THE RADIO AUDIO TURNS ITS SELF DOWN WHILE DRIVING WHEN NOBODY TOUCHES THE CONTROLS, AND THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DO NOT CONTROL THE AUDIO. I THINK IT IS ALL A CONNECTED ISSUE WITH A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING WHICH AGAIN I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT DODGE CLOCK SPRINGS BEING FAULTY ON WWW.DODGEFORUM.COM. *TR
WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE THE GAS WILL EXIT TANK WITH FORCE, SPILLING GAS ON GROUND, VEHICLE AND OPERATOR. POTENTIAL EXPLOSION HAZARD, ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE, CHEMICAL BURNS AND EXPLOSION INJURY. THIS STARTED OCCURRING AT AROUND 75,000 MILES AND HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP WHEN TOPPING OFF. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE, APPROXIMATELY A QUART OF FUEL SPILLED OUT. THE FAILURE HAD BEEN ON-GOING SINCE DECEMBER 2010. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND FILTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED RECALL 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP AND STATED HE WAS HAVING THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS ADVISED TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,914.
FUEL OVERFLOWS WHILE FILLING TANK AT EVERY FILL-UP, AND AT EVERY GAS STATION OR PUMP. STARTED AT APPROX. 45,000 MILES. CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT HADN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2006 MODEL, ONLY THE 2005. HAVE AN APPT. TO CHECK OUT. LUCKILY I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH HAS COME IN USE TWICE NOW! *TR
2006 DODGE DURANGO, EVER SINCE TIME OF PURCHASE AT 96,000 MILES EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP AT ANY GAS STATION (HAVE USED OVER TWENTY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO TRY AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM) THE GAS PUMP WILL CLICK OFF, AND AFTER WAITING ABOUT 1 SECOND THERE WILL BE OVER A PINT OF GASOLINE DISCHARGE FROM THE GAS TANK. THIS COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE, AND IS A HAZMAT ISSUE WITH THE GASOLINE BEING DISCHARGED ONTO THE GROUND ON POSSIBLY THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE. ANY QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO GAS TANK OVERFLOW SHOWS THOUSANDS OF RESULTS AND MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THE INSTANCE. DAIMLER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO FOR ME, AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS NEEDS RESOLVED BEFORE A REAL ACCIDENT HAPPENS AND SOMEONE LOSES A LIFE! *TR
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2006 DODGE DURANGO, I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL MY MILEAGE HIT 40,000. MY PROBLEM IS WHEN I FILLED MY FUEL TANK THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND GAS WOULD GUSH OUT OF THE TANK. EVERYONE EVEN STRANGERS WOULD TELL ME HOW DANGEROUS THIS WAS, A SPARK FROM ANOTHER CAR OR STATIC ELECTRICITY COULD START A FIRE IF THIS HAPPENED AT THE GAS STATION IT COULD BE DISASTROUS. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THIS HAPPENED I ENDED UP DRENCHED WITH GAS. I WOULD THEN STAND BEHIND MY DURANGO WHEN FUELING. AND STILL END UP SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE BECAUSE IT WAS ALL OVER THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE, THE HANDLE AND PUMP. I CALLED MY DEALER EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENS AND WAS TOLD THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THIS SPILLING GAS PROBLEM AND IF EVERYTHING THAT WENT WRONG HAD A RECALL THEY WOULD MAKE NO MONEY. DOES A FIRE HAVE TO START OR SOMEONE GET HURT OR DIE BEFORE DODGE STEPS UP TO THE PLATE AND ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY. I HAD MY FUEL TANK REPLACED AND WAS TOLD "THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT CAUSED FROM AGE, WEAR AND TEAR IT WAS A MANUFACTURE FAILURE. THE TOTAL COST FOR THIS WAS $1,600.00. CHANGED STATE FROM ALABAMA TO CALIFORNIA AT THE CONSUMERS REQUEST. 04/26/11 UPDATED 05/06/11 *BF
DODGE DURANGO GAS TANK FUEL OVERFLOW PROBLEM. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ENGAGED. THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE PROGRESSED OVER TIME WHICH RESULTED IN A CONTINUOUS OCCURRENCE WHEN REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
TL* THE CONTACT SUBMITTED AN EMAIL AND REQUESTED TO USE THE EMAIL, VERBATIM, AS THE SUBMITTED COMPLAINT: SINCE ABOUT 50K MILES (NOW HAVE 81K) WE HAVE EXPERIENCED GAS SHOOTING OUT OF THE FILL TUBE EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK UP. IT HAS GONE ALL OVER MY WIFE'S ARM ALONG WITH THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF. VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR '05'S BUT NOT '06'S. SAME ISSUE SO WHY NOT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A DEATH TO OCCUR. DODGE SAYS THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS I PAY FIRST TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS AND THEN I STILL HAVE TO PAY $450 OF THE TOTAL BILL! HOW ABOUT WORKING THRU DODGE/CHRYSLER TO GET THIS ISSUE SOLVED BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. THANK YOU.
WHENEVER WE TRY TO FILL GAS THE GAS COMES SPRAYING BACK OUT GOING ON THE GROUND, ON THE SIDE OF THE DURANGO AND ON US. WE HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS GAS STATIONS IN SEVERAL TOWNS, DIFFERENT PUMPS AT THOSE STATIONS AND DIFFERENT KINDS OF GAS. THE RESULT IS ALWAYS THE SAME. CURRENTLY WE TRY TO GUESS HOW MANY GALLONS WE CAN PUT IN AND TRY TO STOP THE PUMP IN TIME BUT THIS IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MANY GALLONS OF GAS WE HAVE PAID FOR THAT WENT EVERYWHERE BUT IN THE GAS TANK NOT TO MENTION ALL THE CAR WASHES WE'VE PAID FOR TO WASH THE GAS OFF THE PAINT. WE'VE EVEN HAD GAS STATION ATTENDANTS APPROACH US ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF GAS ON THE GROUND.

GAS TANK OVERFILLING AT FUEL FILLUP. *TR

WHEN FILLING 2006 DURANGO WITH FUEL THE FUEL WILL SPEW BACK OUT OF FILLER. *TR
EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN MY TANK AND IS ALMOST FULL I GET A SHOWER OF GAS ON ME, THE CAR, THE FLOOR. THIS IS GETTING TO BE RIDICULOUS, I HAVE HAD TO COME HOME AND CHANGE CLOTHES BECAUSE OF THE FUEL SPILL. ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CATCH ON FIRE OR HAVE SOMEONE KILLED BEFORE THIS ISSUE GETS RESOLVED. THE 2005 DURANGO HAS THE SAME DEFECT AND IT WAS RECALLED. PLEASE ANYONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH FUEL, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF MECHANISM DOESN'T WORK AND FUEL SPLASHES OUT OR SPITS OUT OF THE GAS TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES. NOW I NEVER FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY. *TR
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. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME IN A ROW THIS HAS HAPPENED AND AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE WHO REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE VEHICLE IS THE PROBLEM, AND REFUSE TO ADMIT OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
WHILE PUMPING GAS INTO MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED, THE FUEL HOSE SHUT OFF SENSING THAT THE TANK WAS ALMOST FULL HOWEVER THE FUEL CAME SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK FROM THE VEHICLE. 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
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPEWED BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK SPILLING ONTO THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL, THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO ASSIST WITH REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE CHECK VALVE FILLER TUBE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CHECK VALVE FILLER TUBE, GAS TANK AND THE SENDING UNIT BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000. UPDATED 4/11/2011 *CN UPDATED 04/14/11
FUEL SPIT-BACK- WHETHER WE FILL IT ON THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF WE MANUALLY FILL IT USING AS LITTLE PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME AND GAS POURS FROM THE FILL SPOUT DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, ON MY HANDS CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND. I HAVE HAD TO GO HOME AND CHANGE CLOTHES AFTER TRYING TO FILL THE CAR WITH GAS.
A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF FUEL FILLER WHEN GASOLINE PUMP SHUTS OFF AT TANK FULL. *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. THE ONLY SOLUTION I'VE FOUND IS TO STOP FILLING THE GAS TANK BEFORE IT'S FULL (GUESSING GAME REQUIRED TO PREVENT ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD). HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A RECALL? *TR
2006 DODGE DURANGO GUSHES FUEL OUT OF TANK DURING FILING. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS BEING IGNORED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER EXPECT OWNERS TO PAY FOR TANK REPLACEMENT ALTHOUGH 2005 MODELS HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HAD RECALL. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL AND COVER ALL YEARS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED! *TR
TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER FILLING HIS TANK UP THE GAS WOULD SPILL BACK OUT IN LARGE NUMBERS. THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ON A INTERMITTENT BASIS SINCE 2008. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR HAS IT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. TB
2006 DODGE DURANGO, SPRAYS FUEL OUT OF FILL PORT ONTO THE GROUND, WHEN IT SHOULD BE CLICKING THE NOZZLE OFF. *TR
DURING NORMAL FUEL FILL-UP PROCEDURES, WHENEVER THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS PUMPING FUEL INTO THE GAS TANK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL IS EJECTED FROM THE GAS FILL-UP DOOR. THIS GASOLINE IS SPRAYED OVER ANYONE AND ANYTHING WITHIN APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET OF THE VEHICLE IN DIRECT LINE WITH THE FUEL DOOR, AS WELL AS SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF AND ONTO THE GROUND. SEVERAL OTHER 2004-2006 DODGE DURANGO OWNERS I KNOW HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, WITH NO HELP TO REPAIR OR REIMBURSE FOR REPAIR FROM CHRYSLER'S CORPORATE OFFICE.
FUEL TANK DOES NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND OVERFLOWS WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS AND IT OVERFLOWS FUEL EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED UP. THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS, I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR 2006 MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK. WHEN WILL YOU MAKE DODGE RECALL THE 2006 MODELS FOR THIS? I AM WAITING FOR A GAS STATION TO CHARGE ME FOR HAZ-MAT CLEAN UP OVER THIS. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FUEL HER VEHICLE, THE GASOLINE WOULD SPILL BACK OUT. THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO RECALL 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH CONCLUDED THAT THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO COVER 50% OF THE REPAIR COST; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK IT SPEWS GAS BACK OUT AT YOU WHEN IT REACHES FULL. I HAVE USED NUMEROUS DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND THEY ALL DO THIS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER TUBE SPILLING ONTO THE CONTACT AND THE GROUND. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.
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. THE NHTSA SHOULD WIDEN THE RECALL, AS THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER HE FUELED THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD POUR BACK OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE CHECK VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. UPDATED 03/08/11 *BF UPDATED 03/23/11 UPDATED 1/4/11 *CN
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL OVERFLOWED AND SPRAYED OUT. THE FUEL TANK DOES NOT INDICATE WHEN IT WAS FULL AND CAUSES THE FUEL TO SPRAY OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,800.
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
WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK GAS WILL SPEW OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE RIGHT AS THE FUEL SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS MORE IN WARMER WEATHER BUT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME. WILL DO IT MOST TIMES UNLESS SHUTTING THE FUEL PUMP OFF BEFORE THE TANK IS FUEL. THE GAS WILL SHOT OUT, POSSIBLE UP TO 1/8 OF A GALLON. *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

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
