The fuel tank inlet check valve is not working properly causing fuel to not go in the tank and spill out as if its full when its not. The underlying issue is that its only listing a recall on 2005 models when all vehicle affected should be added. This is a manufacturing issue and no owners should have to pay for their mistake

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Cowl under windshield does not divert water from engine bay. Water pools on engine, getting into the coil-over-plugs (cop) and intake(gasket) causing hesitation stalling and engine failure after being exposed to water. Rain, car wash, using the windshield washer. Chrysler has made 7 different versions of the cowl to address the issue but has never issued an official recall. Those who do not have the latest version of the cowl (part# 55362453ak) have to pay for the part and have it installed or risk having engine failure while driving down the road in the rain. Part that should be included in recall 55362453ak "cowl" this is a known issue reported by "durango" owners that is all over the internet
My vehicle stalls in the rain. It stalls at a stop or rolling speeds. It idles rough first and then stalls or shuts off. Sometimes the check engine light will come on, but not always. This only occurs in the rain. I've had several mechanics look at it, and they can't figure out how to solve the problem. I've spent a lot of money trying to get this fixed. Through online research, I've discovered that many other durango owners are experiencing this same issue.
The transfer case will make noise when unlocking the doors, it will also engage and change the awd by itself to 4lock when driving on the road. It can cause seriouse hard or accident. The airbags on both driver and passenger side light will engage and can cause seriouse harm. The fuel pump seems like it has an air bubble inside and shoots out gasoline and also can cause seriouse harm. All of these problems occurs when the vehicle is in motion and stationary. Please fix!!! Recall!!! You have to hear the noise and drive when it happens.
I have read dodge is aware of this issue, and no one has done anything to protect the consumer. The gas tank does not fill and spits fuel out when about 2/3 full. Also the tank is collapsing do to the pressure that builds up. This is a big safety concern that needs some kind of action taken. People need to stop turning their heads away from these problems. I have taken this to a mechanic who has stated this is a real concern. We researched this to find out no one is owning up to a poor design. And a major safety issue. Not sure why, just have no words. Dodge needs to step up and take care of this. I am currently looking into how to file a class action suit. Since everyone denies there is a problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can not fill the gas tank,fuel starts to come out of neck about2/3 full this has been an on going problem
Left rear quarter panel shows rust to the side of the fuel door lid. Rust is through panel. Paint and body bubbling up, condition is crossing over to the left rear wheel area.
Gas and body issues: when you go to fill up the gas sprays out. I have a vert strong smell of gas and the lower finder by the wheel well has rusted badly. Motor: whenever there is heavy rain, my car will stop running. Most recently when I turn on the AC or heater the car stalls. I also just recently had to change out a manifold which caused another set of problems. I owned a durango before this one and loved it. This one has changed my mind and I will never own another.
Takata recall - my truck smells like gas on the inside & outside & is leaking gas the fuel tank has collapsed for the second time I have replaced it 5years ago & now is collapsed again is there any recall do to it being a reoccurring issue , afraid that is going to catch on fire while driving it or parked any little spark probably can ignite it into flames.
Every time I fuel my durango it spews gasoline after the pump is shut off.
