EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS IT ERUPTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THE LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT IS THE FUEL TANK FILLER CHECK VALVE. THIS IS LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THE SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. DODGE DID A RECALL ON THE 2005 DURANGO BUT NOT THE 2006 DURANGO. $900 FOR THE PART PLUS LABOR. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPILLED FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,300.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE REFUELING. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO CAPACITY.

TURN SIGNAL SWITCH MALFUNCTIONS WHEN IT IS COLD AND WET OUT. WILL INDICATE RIGHT TURN WHEN TURNING LEFT AND VISE VERSA, HIGH BEAM ALSO MALFUNCTIONS AND WILL SOMETIMES TURN ON WASHER FLUID, WIPER FUNCTION ALSO NOT WORKING RIGHT WHEN OTHERS FAIL. SEEMS TO BE WHEN IT IS WET AND BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER INTERNET. *TR
WHEN FILLING UP WITH GASOLINE, UPON THE FUEL PUMP TURNING OFF, THE DURANGO'S FUEL TANK WILL SPRAY GASOLINE BACK OUT TO THE INDIVIDUAL FILLING UP, AND LEAK FUEL ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP, REGARDLESS OF FILLING STATION. THIS IS DOCUMENTED IN COUNTLESS FORUMS AND VIDEOS ONLINE. THE 2005 DURANGO HAS A RECALL FOR THIS AS DODGE RECOGNIZED THE RISK OF A VEHICLE OR FUEL STATION FIRE. THIS IS DANGEROUS, EASILY REPEATABLE, AND TERRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. AND WORSE YET, DODGE EVEN APPEARS TO BE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY DODGE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE REFUELING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS WAS DENIED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 160,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
FUEL SPRAY AT THE END OF REFUELING CONTACTED DODGE FOR THE CONCERN FOR A SERVICE BULLETIN DATED 1-20-2012 BUT MY VEH DOESN'T HAVE A X39 FOR THE UNLIMITED TIME AND MILEAGE WARRANTY EXTENSION, THE BULLETIN STATES FOR 2006-2008 DURANGO AND 2007-2008 ASPEN,NO BUILD DATE,NO SALT BELT AREA,NO ENGINE SIZE. DODGE DECIDES WHAT DURANGO GETS A X39 ..AND IF THE CUST;EXPERIENCES THIS SYMPTOM/CONDITION ,PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THE X39 SO WE CAN GET THIS FIXED... *TR
GASOLINE SPEWS FROM FILLER NECK EVERY TIME WHEN I FILL TANK WITH GASOLINE. EVERY FILLING STATION I STOP AT IS THE SAME!! I SPILL GASOLINE ON ME, THE CAR, THE PAVEMENT. THE NOZZLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. IF SOMEONE WERE TO THROW A CIGARETTE TOWARD ME THERE COULD BE A GASOLINE FIRE WITH ME IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. MY DEALER SAYS THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH ME WHEN I FILL MY TANK. I AM 63 YEARS OF AGE, AND HAVE OWNED 15 CARS OR SO, WITH NO PROBLEMS LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR
AFTER FILLING VEHICLE WITH FUEL GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF INTAKE AREA. APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON. *KB
WHILE FILLING FUEL TANK FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER TUBE WHEN TANK NEARS CAPACITY. *KB
EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK THE FOLLOWING EVENTS TAKE PLACE: THE GAS STATIONS NOZZLE CLICKS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. A BUBBLING SOUND IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY A GUSH OF GASOLINE SPEWING FROM THE FILL NECK ONTO ME AND THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURING IS TO TRY AND GUESS WHEN THE TANK IS NEARING FULL AND STOP PUMPING. I'VE READ NUMEROUS ARTICLE ABOUT IDENTIAL PROBLEMS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 DURANGO BUT NO RECALL FOR THE 2006 DURANGO. I'VE CONTACTED DODGE AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT'D I'D BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR. THEREFOR I HAVEN'T FIXED IT BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE INVOLVED. *TT
WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS OVERFLOWED FILLER TUBE AFTER PUMP SHUTOFF. GAS SPRAYED APPROXIMATELY 3 FEET, COVERING FUELER AND PUMP. *TT

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP 12-31-2111 AFTER DRIVING IT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP I ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM . THE FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF WHEN THE DURANGO WAS FULL BUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE GAS CAME SPRAYING OUT OF THE TANK BUT THE PUMP WAS OFF . IT SPRAYED GAS ALL OVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER ME AND MY CLOTHES IT WAS AWFUL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR AND WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE WE DISCOVERED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TANK THAT CRYSLER/DODGE KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT THERE IS NO RECALL YET FOR THIS YEAR OF THE DURANGO
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TORE FUEL THE VEHICLE, THE PUMP WOULD SHUT OFF AND GAS WOULD SPEW BACK OUT ONTO FROM THE FILLER NECK VALVE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP) BUT DID NOT CONFIRM IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.
WHEN REFILLING THE FUEL TANK THE NOZZLE ON THE HOSE FROM THE GASOLINE DISPENSER DOES NOT CLICK ON AND STOP THE FLOW OF FUEL ONCE THE TANK IS FULL RESULTING IN APPROXIMATELY 8 OUNCES OF GASOLINE BEING REGURGITATED BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE PERSON STANDING THERE FUELING THE CAR AND THEN ONTO THE GROUND. IN MY OPINION THIS POSES A GRAVE SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT THIS OVERFLOW MAY IGNITE AND INJURE THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE PLUS CAUSE A RATHER LARGE FIRE WHEN THE VEHICLE AND SURROUNDING ITEMS AT THE STATION ALSO GO UP IN FLAMES.THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS AND I WAS ADVISED LAST FRIDAY (1/13/2012) BY AN ATTENDANT AT T SAM'S CLUB FILLING STATION THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR DURANGOS OF THE AGE OF MINE. I STOPPED BY AVONDALE DODGE (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW) ON MY WAY HOME TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM AND THEY GAVE ME A 800 NUMBER TO CALL THAT I'VE BEEN GETTING A RUN AROUND ABOUT THE PROBLEM SO FAR. *TR
WHEN I GO TO THE GAS STATION TO PUT GAS IN I CAN ONLY PUT A 1.50 IN AND THE PUMP KICK OFF AND GAS COME OUT I WAIT FOR A LITTLE BITE AND IT WILL TAKE 2.00 AND TIT DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN IT COME RIGHT BACK OUT. *TR
WHEN FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS, AT END OF FILL UP GAS WILL SPEWL OUT ONTO CAR, GROUND, AND MYSELF!! TOOK TO DEALER WAS TOLD CHECK VALVE SEAL HAD DETERIORATED, WOULD NEED TO REPLACE FUEL TANK. REPAIR PLUS LABOR WOULD BE AT LEAST $800. CONTACTED DODGE CHRYSLER BY EMAIL, WAS CALLED THAT DAY. EXCELLENT PR BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM,. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT ENOUGH TO DO A RECALL. TOLD IF I PAY THE FIRST $200 THEY WOULD COVER THE REST, IF A RECALL HAPPENS I WOULD BE REIMBURSED THIS COST. I DO NOT FEEL THAT ANYONE OWNING THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THIS DEFECTIVE REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE ON CAR. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECTIVE NOT CAUSED BY OWNERSHIP. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, DOES SOMETHING SERIOUS HAVE TO HAPPENED TO SOMEONE AND THEIR CAR BEFORE THIS IS TAKEN CARE OF? *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING AND REMOVING THE NOZZLE, FUEL STARTED TO SPILL OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK.

FUEL OVERSPILL WHEN GAS STATION PUMP REACHES AUTO SHUT-OFF. AFTER FUEL TANK REPLACED, GAS STATION PUMP CUTS OUT EVERY GALLON TO GALLON & A HALF WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL TANK. *TR
GAS OVERFLOW SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK, THE SAFETY VAVLE IN THE GAS TANK FAILS AND DOES NOT SHUT THE PUMP OFF. DUE TO THIS, GASOLINE SPURTS OUT OF THE TANK. APPROXIMATELY 5 CUPS OF GASOLINE SPURTS OUT. MOST RECENTLY, MY DAUGHTER FILLED UP OUR TANK AND THE GAS SPURTED OUT ON HER. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ENVIROMENTAL ISSUE. *TR
EXHAUST STARTED TICKING AND UPON INVESTIGATING FOUND 2 REAR MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKEN OFF ALLOWING EXHAUST FUMES TO LEAK INTO ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TALKED TO DODGE DEALER AND FOUND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. *KB
I HAVE A 5.7 HEMI AND THE PROBLEM JUST STARTED WITH FUEL SPLASHING OUT AFTER A FILL UP, PUMP CLICKS OFF, REMOVE THE FUEL NOZZLE AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE FUEL FILL GAS SHOOTS OUT AND ALL OVER. MAYBE A PINT OR QUART OF GAS, HARD TO MEASURE WHEN IT'S ALL OVER YOU, THE GROUND AND CAR..... I ALSO CALLED MY DODGE DEALER AND MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *KB

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT OVER FILLS EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED UP. GAS WILL SHOOT OUT 12-15 INCHES IN ALL DIRECTIONS SOMETIMES. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT AROUND 60 THOUSAND MILES. *TR
THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE OF FUEL OVERFLOW WITH 2ND GENERATION DODGE DURANGO THAT DODGE REFUSES TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL TO FIX. AT THE CONCLUSION OF REFUELING APPROXIMATELY 0.25 GAL WILL GURGLE TO FORCEFULLY EJECT ITSELF FROM THE FUEL FILLER NECK OF THE DURANGO. SPILLING FUEL EVERY FILL UP IS A PERSONAL SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION CONCERN WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

AROUND AUGUST 10, 2011, AS I WAS GETTING FUEL IT SPRAYED FUEL EVERYWHERE AFTER THE NOZZLE HAD STOPPED. I HAVE EVEN TRIED TO SLOW THE RATE OF FUEL AND THAT DOES NOT MATTER. EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK, IT SPRAYS EVERYWHERE. I TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND STILL NO LUCK. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS ALL OF THE FUEL SPILLED ON THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND ON MY CLOTHES. *TR
FUEL SYSTEM FORCES GASOLINE OUT OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK CAUSING EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE . THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM SENSE THE NHTSA RECALL IN 2005 OF THE DODGE DURANGO FUEL SYSTEMS . *TR
WENT TO FILL DURANGO UP TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASED USED. THE PUMP SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND SPRAYED APPROX. ONE LITER OF GAS ON MY HAND, SLEEVE, RIGHT LEG, RIGHT SHOE, AND THE FENDER/BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND THERE IS NO WARNING FROM DODGE THAT THIS MAY OCCUR. THIS WAS A RECALL ON 2005'S AND DODGE REPRESENTATIVES TOLD ME WHEN I ASKED ABOUT AN ASSIST, "IF IT WAS A RECALL BEFORE AND ISN'T NOW, THE ISSUES WOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE". THIS STATEMENT, FROM MY CASE MANAGER, IS CLEARLY NOT TRUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE.COM OF THIS HAPPENING TO VEHICLES WITH VIN NUMBERS THAT ARE POST RECALL. *TR
WAS FILLING UP 06 DODGE DURANGO AND FUEL WILL FLOW OUT VIOLENTLY AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE SHUT OFF WAS ACTIVATED. THERE WAS ABOUT QUART OR MORE FUEL SPLASHED OUT OF THE FUEL NOZZLE OF THE CAR. THERE IS EVEN A RUST SPOT ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR QUARTER PANEL UNDER THE FUEL NOZZLE ON THE CAR WHERE FUEL HAS EATING AT THE METAL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CAN BE DEADLY. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. *TR
UPON TURNING INTO PARKING LOT OF LOCAL STORE, CAR SHUT DOWN AND SYSTEM LOCKED UP. NO POWER STEERING AND NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO STEER CAR TO PARKING SPACE, STOP AND RESTART VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IN 2 WEEKS. SAME SCENARIO, GOING SLOW IN PARKING LOT AND VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. ANOTHER PROBLEM HAS COME UP NOW WHEN AFTER I START THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING, IT SURGES FROM 1000 RPM TO 2000 BACK AND FORTH FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS. MY QUESTIONS FOR THE DURANGO MAKERS IS WHEN WILL THEIR BE A TOTAL RECALL ON THESE SUV'S? *TR
WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, GAS SPITS OUT . HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES AND I READ THAT THIS IS A RECALL. MY DEALERSHIP SHRUGS IT OFF AND TOLD ME ITS NOT A RECALL AND JUST DONT FILL UP MY TANK. *TR
WHEN I FILL MY TRUCK WITH GAS IT SPEWS OUT. I HAVE GOTTEN TO WHERE I NEVER COMPLETELY FILL MY TRUCK. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL? I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE ONLY WAY WE DODGE OWNERS GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED IS IF SOMEONE IS HURT WHILE TRYING TO FILL THEIR TRUCK. ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS ONE SPARK WHEN THE GAS SPILLS OUT. PLEASE, FORCE DODGE TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE WE HEAR ON THE NEWS THAT SOMEONE IS INJURED. *TR

EVERY TIME WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK TO FULL, BY HAND OR AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF, THE GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT AND OVERFLOWS ONTO THE CAR, FUEL NOZZLE, AND GROUND WHEN FULL. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED OF FILLING THE TANK. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE ANY OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL READINGS AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V092000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.
I HAVE FILLED UP MY VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED. EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP THE GAS TANK BUBBLES AND IS SHOOTS A DECENT AMOUNT OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE GROUND AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. THIS CAUSES MY CAR TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE AND LEAVES A PUDDLE OF APPROX 1 CUP OF GAS ON THE GROUND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A PARTICULAR GAS STATIONS NOZZLE, BUT AFTER GOING TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT STATIONS, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT I WILL BE SOON. I KNOW THERE CURRENTLY IS NO RECALL FOR THIS, BUT THERE SHOULD BE, THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE GAS FLYING OUT OF THE GAS TANK. *TR
DURING FUELING OPERATIONS THE VEHICLES FUEL TANK WAS ALMOST FULL WHICH TRIGGERED THE FUEL PUMP TO SHUT OFF, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY FUEL BEGAN RUSHING OUT OF THE FUELING NOZZLE OF THE VEHICLE GETTING ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, MY HAND, FOOT AND THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 60 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE IN 2006, AND NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK TO FULL. THERE WAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 DURANGO THAT JUSTIFIED A RECALL, AND THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS WITH THE 2006, ALTHOUGH THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. I HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T TAKE A MAJOR INCIDENT, FIRE OR DEATH BEFORE CHRYSLER TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY AND DOES THE RIGHT TYHING BY REPAIRING THE BAD VALVE IN THESE TANKS. *TR
BOUGHT 2006 DODGE DURANGO USED AND PULLED OUT OF DEALERSHIP TO GET GAS AND FILLED UP AND GAS SHOT EVERYWHERE. VERY DANGEROUS AND FIRE HAZARD. PROBLEM FILLING EVER TIME I GET GAS. A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING REFUELED THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUT OFF DOES NOT WORK AND FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE VEHICLE AND ON SURROUNDING GROUNDS. *TR
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF, THE TANK OVERFILLS ABOUT EVERY OTHER FILL. *TR
WHILE RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF CLICKS OFF ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO LATER FUEL COMES SPEWING OUT UNDER PRESSURE, SPILLING FUEL ALL OVER THE QUARTER PANEL AND BUMPER, AND ONTO THE GROUND, SPILLING APPROXIMATELY A GALLON OR SO. IT APPEARS THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES ON THIS FROM SEARCHING ONLINE, I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. *TR
GAS NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. GAS SPILLS OUT EVERYTIME I REFUEL. I HAVE TO GUESS WHEN I SHOULD STOP THE FUELING BUT SOMETIMES I MISCALCULATED AND IT ALL OVER MY SHOES AND THE GROUND. FIRE HAZARD IN THE WAIT. *TR
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.
