During filling gas on my 2005 dodge durango limited (5.7 l hemi), the gas has started running out or spraying out of the filling nozzle as the fuel tank becomes full. This has happened on more than 5 occasions. The manufacturer was contacted and claims my VIN number is not part of the recall for a faulty fuel tank check valve, but I continually have to monitor my gas gauge as I'm filling my vehicle each time to avoid gas spewing out and onto the ground. This is a safety and environmental hazard that must be addressed. This is a similar issue on this model with select VIN numbers, but for some reason, mine is not covered?
